Are you searching for a Pilates Studio? Well, this one is off of Pacific Highway and 312th. Core fitness is more than just ripped abs. It is working on all of your abdominal muscles, especially the ones underneath that “surfacey” top ripped part. We under estimate how much it takes to stablize our bodies in an unstable environment. The stronger our core the stronger our back and the better our balance and this is one of the big keys when trying to prevent injuries; even like falling down the stairs. Also, Pilates, is more than just ab work. It is a whole fitness regimine which produces a strong core structure.

So, you are thinking it’s time to get in shape. So, you are thinking maybe L.A. Fitness. So, how about a view of Mt. Rainier. Yes, this is yet another attempt for me to capture or try to capture a clearer picture of the Big Mountain. I think I am getting better.

As I hear the rain return tonight as we end a bit of a sunny streak I am reminded that spring is just around the corner. Oh, yes, Spring! A time to breathe. Time for some new adventures, walking boardwalks and beaches. What a better place to start then a beautiful park. For your information we have our very own State Park, here, in Federal Way. With trees, beach (that means water) and picnic areas. It may not be summertime but these pictures give you a glimpse as we break into Spring!
The Green is starting to show through. Welcome, Please come on In - Spring.

Sunny weather vs. Stormy weather.
It may have been pretty here in Hill Creek and Regency Woods when the snow hit Federal Way, but I choose SUN!

As you may have noticed, you have all types and styles of homes in this lovely neighborhood. It is peaceful and quite appealing. The drive on this beautiful sunny day kept me wanting more. Just another perk of living in Federal Way, Washington.

I wanted to include this information from an email I received from our broker so as to spread the word that the buyers here in the Seattle area can let go of some of their fear.
A special Broker meeting for SKCAR was held a few days ago. It was to start the celebration for the 100 year SKCAR Anniversary and for us to hear from the Chief Economist for the National Association of Realtors, Lawrence Yun. His presentation was similar to the one Mathew Gardner gave us a few weeks ago, but with more comparisons to the national economy. The bottom line, once again, was that the media is the problem as the real estate picture is not near as bad as it is portrayed and especially the
Seattle market is just fine! The national average is up about 50% over the last 5 years and only down about 1.5% in the last year. So, would any other industry, money fund or anything on earth be upset with that type of return?
It was interesting to find out that an often quoted professor,Robert Shiller (Standard & Poor’s/Case-Shiller 20 city home priceindex), who is responsible for many news media articles that the real estate is melting down, also is the same person with a hedge fund that is banking on a down market! NAR is publicizing this little fact so as to properly discredit that organization and person. This is just another example of hugely biased reporting. Case-Shiller not only uses a limited number of cities to compile their data, but for the most part they are in areas that have had more volatile markets such as California, Florida and Arizona. When you read articles keep this in mind. Mr. Yun said, in this area we have absolutely no negative indicators for any type of housing recession. The only factor affecting us is buyer fear.
Thank you Wayne and Debra.
