A little from the sellers about the location, and what they’ll miss about the neighborhood:

“We’ll miss seeing Mt. Rainier from upstairs bedroom on a clear day. Enjoying all the fruit trees and berries. The wood stove during the winter months is so cozy. And I know the dogs love the extra big yard.”

“This home is close to everything basically - freeway, shopping etc.”

“We like the Asian Market district on 38th street, it holds some great treasures when shopping for produce or exploring the restaurants.”

“Other things we’ll miss about this home are the fruit trees. There’s cherry, pear, apple, 2 plum, and a grafted Asian pear tree. Along with established raspberry and blueberry bushes.”
