Yep, this is me(the picture is purposely NOT good I hate having my photo taken more than going to the dentist)….enjoying a beautiful January day in the blinding sunshine of the Pacific Northwest! This is typical of Seattle sunny days, when the blue of the sky is awesomely clear and the truest blue I’ve ever seen. I was lucky to be able to enjoy the sun as I needed to preview a few properties in the Hobart area, a very small rural town South of Issaquah and due East of Maple Valley. Although it has it’s own zip code, this history rich town shares a school district and many community amenities with Maple Valley. In fact, the “HO” in Tahoma, stands for Hobart. (Alright, no jokes there ok?)

I thought I would share one of my favorite views of rural Maple Valley/Hobart where homes range in age from early 1900’s farm houses to brand new construction. Zoning, is one home per 5 acres and King County has jurisdiction over new development & new construction.

PS: If taking your own photo in the blinding sun while driving on a rural road is illegal then I did NOT take this photo myself!
Enjoy!

"I was bitten by the "house-hunting bug" at a young age when I would go through the Sunday papers with my parents, looking for open houses. My father was an NFL football coach and we had moved several times throughout my childhood before finally settling in the Pacific Northwest. I have come to view the house hunting and the moving process as an adventure, and although it can sometimes be stressful and inconvenient, I love the process as much today as I did back then!"
