Senior Tennis Ace Stomps Young Hotshot!

August 24th, 2006

Just have to give some acknowledgement to my friend Lucille Barnard. Lucille is an avid tennis player who runs a tennis group which plays at the Robinswood tennis courts in Bellevue. A few years ago she mentioned that she had a goal of playing tennis in the senior Olympics. Last week I learned that she had, in fact, taken a silver in tennis at the Washington State Official Olympic Senior Game ...

Savvy Realtor Saves 1031 Exchange

August 21st, 2006

A few weeks back on a Wednesday I received a frantic call from a gentleman who needed some help --- fast. He had a deadline in two days for naming a property for a 1031 Tax Deferred Exchange. If he missed the deadline and was unable to complete the exchange, he would have to pay taxes on investment property he had sold three months earlier. I jumped online and was able to locate a number of v ...

A hot night in Ballard

August 21st, 2006

Ballard used to be a sleepy Seattle neighborhood better known for its lutefisk than its lattes. But that all started changing a few years ago when its relatively less expensive housing prices started attracting the young and the hip. Now one would be hard-pressed to find a Ballard cottage or condo for under $400k. Last Saturday night was hot, and a perfect night for dining outdoors. Since I h ...

Night at the Opera

August 10th, 2006

Last Saturday night I attended the opening night of Der Rozencavalier, the current production of the Seattle Opera. The opera operates out of McCaw Hall, which is a fabulous venue for both the opera and the ballet. The opera by Richard Strauss has really beautiful music and the performances were outstanding. Only problem was that too many opera fans showed up at the venue's cafe, and they ran ...
