This is a great place to play ball.  I know they have a lot other cool stuff there like a softball field, lighted tennis courts, lighted basketball courts, a picnic area, a playground with lots of equipment, and several walking trails.  However, even with all that being said, what Jester and I like to do is go to the big soccer field and play ball.  He loves to run and the open space on that soccer field is huge!  We drop in as often as we can, throw the ball for 20-30 minutes and then head out....  Sometimes we even get an audience - Jester's a real ham and loves to show off...  We even got our picture in the Skagit Valley Herald in July of 2005 while playing ball there.  Life is good when you've got a good field to chase a ball on...  Hillcrest Park...  Jester Approved. 03/11/2007

As most seasoned realtor's know all home inspectors should be licensed to do Structural Pest Inspections or SPI's. Washington has a little bit of everything - termites, boring beetles and wood devouring ants.   North of Seattle our bugs are a little more limited commonly we have two carpenter ants and Anobiid Beetles. Most older homes I inspect have Anobiid or Powder Post Beetles. Most times the beetles will be found in the crawl space although I have found them in garage areas. Rarely will you find them in the home as the beetles need more humidity than is found inside a residence.  The adults are very small, less than 1/4" in size. They are flattened and reddish-brown to black in color. Larvae are white, cream colored, shaped with dark brown heads. Larvae create tunnels in the wood an... 02/25/2007
