Issaquah Firemens Quick Response

Posted by Kathleen Cragun No Comments »

Starpoint residents were jolted early this morning when the fire alarms in the building went off. The alarms are LOUD.  Those who hadn’t already gone to work, worked their way down the stairs in various stages of early morning aparel and appearance. No one reported smelling any smoke, but ear drums were suffering and cats and dogs were not too happy either. The firetrucks arrived very quickly, considering they had to fight their way through school buses and morning commuter traffic. ( Maybe they can testify that we do have a twice a day traffic problem, after all)!

All ended well, there wasn’t a fire, evidently some construction work set off one of the sprinklers, and in turn the building’s alarms went off.  We are thankful for the Issaquah Fire Departments attention and expertise, and thankful we didn’t really have a fire.

Issaquah Highlands

First of all I would like to offer you my Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, And May You have a Happy and Prosperous 2010.

We live in a wonderul community. Some of us have struggled through this last year and some have been fortunate. May those who have struggled be blessed by their experiences. May those who have been forunate this year be reminded to be grateful.

Irregardless of the new pressures of a troubled economy, each of us has our times of trials. I have had my share and I know we all have those times.

I am amazed at how many young children live in Issaquah Highlands. It’s a delight to see them gather at Grand Ridge Elementary each morning. It brings a smile on my face to watch the mothers with strollers brigade trek through the Highlands at such a fast pace.

From our home I can look out over the valley as I sit at my desk. Today I see clear skies, a layer of fog, Talus, and beautiful mountains. What a picture.  An evening photo I have included above.

At this Christmas Season I want to be respectfully grateful that this is not an accident. There is a Father in Heaven, and a Son Jesus Christ. The testimony I have that they live and know us, that they care and are aware guides me and gives me great hope. Merry Christmas neighbors and a Happy 2010. Sounds good doesn’t it?

Goat Gets OUT!

Goat Gets OUT!

This poor little goat got out of his pen last evening and couldn’t figure out how to get back in. He was very upset. The goat herder or shepard finally showed up to catch him so I hope there was a happy ending. The goats had a large tub of water but I noticed that it was not full enough for the littler goats to reach the water.

 Below is the breakdown for condos on the market in Issaquah Highlands.

Below is the breakdown for homes sold in the last  30 days in Issaquah Highlands.

Below is the breakdown for condos sold in the last 30 days in Issaquah Highlands.:

2 sold for under $160,000 and  3 condos sold between $350,000 and $399,999 – thats it folks.

We are finding these stats are bringing sellers to the point they are lowering their expectations. Those homes that are selling, condos too, are those that are the best values. Buyers are low balling their offers and moving on if they don’t get the best value.
