Winter Zests

Cold temperatures, snow day, winter zest, Jesse Tam. The winter months create unexpected  temperatures to dip below freezing and snow forecast snarled Seattle, northwest traffic. Bellevue's eastside higher elevations received more snow. Start early and check the treads on those tires so it will be safe on the road during rainy and snowy weather.  The colder night temperature makes the windshield scraping important to get frost off the windows so there is better vision when we drive off to work, school, shopping or meetings.

Make a list and start gathering some items to leave in your truck in case of stormy weather or traffic delays.  Changes in weather can occur quickly with fog, snow, less daylight and lower temperatures making conditions hazardous.

Here are a few handy items to carry:

• Flashlight with extra batteries
• Windshield scraper
• Comfortable boots or walking shoes
• Extra coat or blanket, hat, gloves, scarf
• Small portable shovel
• Snacks and/or water
• Emergency kit
• Safety flare
• Booster cable
• Fire extinguisher

Snow has blanket the foothills in many regions and the sports enthusiasts welcome the snow for snowboarding, skiing and winter fun in the mountains.  Looks a good year to spend time in the mountains and purchase a season pass for the lifts...have fun on the slopes, stay safe. Thanks for staying connected, Jesse https://jesse-tam28.blogspot.com/

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do.  So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor.  Catch the trade winds in your sails.  Explore. Dream. Discover" -  Mark Twain

See the world from other people's prospective and be involved in your community, be a mentor, volunteer and  give back.  Thanks for reading Jesse  https://jessewa28.wordpress.com/ News and Notes, stay connected

Northwest Region and Market Boom

Market Boom and cranes above, Jesse Tam. The Northwest region and Seattle continues to see the largest increases in the residential real estate, make it the nation's fastest growing city for home prices. Jesse Tam, market trend and housing trends continues to grow.  Portland home prices are the second fastest growing in the country with both cities outpaced the national home value increases in gain.  Low inventory and high demand are responsible for home price hikes in the area.

The population boom is fueled by job growth in technology and other industries in Seattle's Emerald City.  Mortgage rates are at about 4 percent and high paying tech jobs and salary make Seattle housing market competitive.

 The city is filled with high rises and cranes over the city landscapes in the South Lake Union view with new apartment complex and office towers.  Below is view of downtown Seattle and the Columbia Tower, Smith Tower... Thanks for reading  Jesse https://jesse-tam28.blogspot.com/

Thinking About A Visit to Seattle?

Thinking about visiting Seattle, Jesse Tam.  The long lists of places to discover is west coast city of Seattle with downtown skylines filled with tall buildings, cranes and the Space Needle.  Spring is the beginning of cruise ships in our region with several ports ready for the tourists to arrive as they begin the week long journey to Alaska.  The cruise season begins around early April to October creating additional passengers arriving and departing at Seattle Tacoma International Airport.

Spend the weekend with a pre or post day to explore the waterfront, Pike Place market, International District or tour Boeing.  There are things for the whole family with parks, ride the Big Wheel on the waterfront, walk or bike along  Alki Beach.  There are more activities for those interested in the arts and musical performances.

The light rail link from the airport will take you to downtown Seattle and a quick ride to the University district and University of Washington.  Rent a canoe at the boathouse for a few hours when the weather permits and see Lake Washington.   Jesse   spend time to explore the outdoors.
