I do hope I'm not the last person on the planet to learn of this latest scam. It appears that some lowlife, scumbag, bottom-feeding so-and-so is using vacant listings in order to attract potential renters, receive their deposits and default on their end of the deal.I just listed this house on Sat...

Last week I received an e-mail from Marc Grossman alerting me that I have been MeMe'd! Yes, I am now 'It', as the rest of you may know by reading Marc's Post, "MeMe Times Three For YouYou". I've been so busy with things that I've been away from Active Rain for a while.  Now I'm back, and I'm tryi...

You must see this cute starter home in Olympic Hills. This home, built in 1952, features hardwood floors, anice level yard with garden space and a spacious garage with additional loft storage. Enjoy warm days out on the large deck overlooking your private yard. This location can't be beat with it...

When I was a kid I used to live close to, but not actually in the Arroyos.  I even used to ride my bike down that hill for some inexplicable reason, only to have to walk it all the way back up.  But had I not done that, perhaps I wouldn't have discovered what fabulous views of Mt.

We used to travel all over the West Coast and Canada, from gig to gig in our green Pinto. I remember going to a lot of sound checks and band rehearsals. The band wore...

...that it was my BIRTHDAY? How sweet. When you get to be as old as I am it's nice that people still acknowledge it. What will I do today, you ask? Hmm, I don't know, but whatever it is, it will NOT have anything to do with Burien REAL ESTATE. Or TEA for that matter. Unless it's a delicious pot o...

For those of you out there who are currently trying to sell your home, you may have noticed that it's taking a bit more time for homes to sell as compared to last year. December statistics for communities within the zip code of 98146 including Arbor Heights, Roxbury Heights, Shorewood & North Sho...

I've always liked the Daily Perk.  I've been a fan ever since its evolution from a kitschy, 50's inspired coffee counter-style hangout to its current incarnation.  The new owner has expanded the eating space, and has done away with the giftshop.  Now there's room to stretch out, and wi-fi is now ...
