Events in the Area New Year, New Eats: What’s Coming to Gig Harbor One of the things I love about a new year is seeing what’s changing around town—especially when it comes to food and local businesses.

Washington Real Estate Looking Ahead to 2026 As we settle into a new year, I always like to pause and look ahead—not with a crystal ball, but with solid data and realistic expectations. Windermere’s Principal Economist, Jeff Tucker, recently released his 2026 real estate forecast, and while it may not scream headline-grabbing drama, that’s actually good news. A calmer, more balanced market […]
Washington Real Estate The Power of Referrals: A Grateful Start to the New Year As we start a new year, I always like to pause for a moment and reflect on the year behind us.

Referrals are incredibly meaningful. They aren’t […]

Crazy Times Thanksgiving: Food, Family, and a Good Power Nap Everyone celebrates Thanksgiving a little differently. Some people host big gatherings with friends and family, some keep it small, and some families operate on a strict schedule dictated entirely by football kick-off times.

Events in the Area A Saturday Stroll, Local Shops, and a Proud Dad Moment in Gig Harbor Last Saturday, Downtown Gig Harbor hosted one of my favorite community events: Shop the Harbor.
