“I have many fond memories, this was my childhood home. Memories of my mom cooking breakfast and the smell rising upstairs to my bedroom brings a smile to my face. Helping my Dad in the garage working on my car and mowing the lawn.”

“The yard has rose bushes in the backyard, a designated garden area, and multiple plants around the front and side of the house.”

“Alling Park was my favorite park nearby. It’s right at the end of my street and all my friends and I would go there to play everyday. There’s also Wapato Park that’s only a couple minutes from my house which is great for walking dogs. The house has very easy access to freeways and shopping including many coffee shops and stands. Through the years the neighbors have always been very nice and helpful. The mailman goes door to door and has always stopped to say hello or wave.”

A mile away, you’ll find Wapato Park - an urban park featuring a woodland area, a lake, walking trail, plus a historic pergola full of stunning and colorful scenery. Wapato has a number of trails that you can walk to explore the park, including one circling the lake that is approx .9 miles in length and you can’t beat the beautiful setting of the lake and forest. It’s best and most popular feature though is the off leash dog park! The off leash dog area has a smaller area for pups under 25 pounds, a space for larger pups and an upper dog area for all dogs. The park also provides waste bag stations and garbage bins to help keep the park clean. Water is also available for the pups, there’s a water faucet and bowl.
