Geordie Romer's Real Estate News for Leavenworth and Lake Wenatchee

I have been writing a real estate blog for seven years now and every year I find a few more things I wish I was doing a bit better.   We have New Years Resolutions for our personal lives, why not our blogs?   In our latest post over at our Leavenworth real estate blog, I ponder new goals and new ...

According to a recent press release from the USFS: Icicle Creek Road (FS Rd #76) on the Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest will reopen to motorized traffic October 8, in time for the Columbus Day holiday weekend. Icicle Creek Road has been closed beyond Ida Creek because of extensive slides and f...

Congrats to all those working on the Leavenworth Ice Rink. It sounds like the Leavenworth City Council approved donation of land for the rink. The next step is fundraising so that construction can start in 2012 with a opening date of November 2012. I think this will be a great addition to the tow...
