Easy to build with all city utilities in the street. It doesn't get better than this.

Sudden Valley … vacation, retirement and fabulous lifestyle!     By Luanne Highlander I discovered Sudden Valley in 1990. I was living in the rural Whatcom County growing organic raspberries for a few years, and after getting the “Green Acres” lifestyle out of my system, went looking for a place with both elbowroom and neighbors.  Happily, I discovered this magical community and lived there for the next 13 years. This is not just for the retirement set, but I can’t think of a better place to retire for those who love nature and also an active lifestyle.

Some interesting info from the WA Association of Realtors. The “Loans 10 years” report by the Mortgage Bankers Association shows rates of foreclosure over the last ten years. Foreclosure rate in Washington is less than 1%, the same as ten years ago, and less then the highest which was in 2002. The facts flyer is why our market shouldn’t get hammered too badly, but consumer confidence sometimes has little to do with the facts.

Today October 25, 2007, our Havanese puppies were featured in the Pet Parade section of the local newspaper, The Bellingham Herald. Every week local pets of all varieties are featured and there is even a contest to vote on the cutest pet picture. This week Andy, his daughter Maggie and her puppy Mikey are pictured in their jogger stroller taking the interurban trails with Charley. Yes, they do ride occasionally as we tend to walk a bit farther than they want to go! And yes, we do get weird looks from fellow joggers and walkers but hey...form follows function. They are rather cute besides.
