No jeans or pedal pushers allowed - High School Memories  Visiting my alma mater, Lewis and Clark High School, Spokane, Washington,  and attending all the events scheduled for my 50th High School Reunion was undoubtedly the best event of the year.  I may change my mind after the Elton John concert in a couple of  weeks but for now, WOW!!!!!   Graduates congregated at the golf course, at grade school parties and the memorial.  We partied hardy at the Davenport Hotel enjoying dinner, drinks and dancing.  Three hundred thirty-three people attended. Bet you can't beat that number at your 50th! Those who still had energy gathered at beautiful Manito Park Sunday morning for the reunion's final event - a picnic in the park. The weather was fabulous.  It was exactly what the Chamber of Commerce...

Cindy Carrigan is Team Leader for Five Star Spokane Realty Group and Doc Nicolson is Five Star’s Managing Broker.

The unique aspects of Spokane Foreclosure Tours are that they are Spokane’s only free and open to the public tours of foreclosed properties. The concept sprang out of Carrigan and Nicolson’s ten-year history of selling foreclosed or REO properties. REO or Real Estate Owned properties are a class of property owned by a lender. Carrigan and Nicol...

  Wordless Wednesday - my first submission! Todd Benson, a local artist, is hard at work just one block away from my office.  When the project is complete a second large panel and a smaller one will be in living color.  The motorcyclist was an unexpected bonus.

Their existence has spread rapidly and they even have a facebook page you can't help but "like"!   In Spokane Little Free Libraries are popping up everywhere. You can't miss these little gems packed with books and colorfully decorated so you can easily find them curbside on city streets. The images shown here are near Spokane's Cannon Hill Park on the southhill.

Carbon monoxide, the silent killer.  Do you have a CO detector in your Spokane WA home? The chemical symbol  for carbon monoxide is CO. The chemical nickname is "silent killer" and it is odorless, colorless and tasteless. A CO detector is an alert system (similar but different from a smoke alarm) which warns you about the presence of carbon monoxide should it reach a dangerous level.    Don't confuse smoke alarms and carbon monoxide alarms -- they warn you of different dangers with audible alerts.  One isn't better than the other and they don't overlap in terms of performance.  Every home should have both. There are combination models, but you should be aware that CO gas travels low on the floor, and smoke alarms should be placed on the ceiling. In Washington state as of January 1, 2013...
