Don’t Bend Walla Walla????

Don’t bend Walla Walla?  We have all heard this phraseHave you recently been to the city or county planning commission?  Walla Walla actively represents it’s citizens and their needs throughout this wonderful communityand valley.  Have you driven down the new Myra Extension or Highway 12?  What a great traffic diversion this will be for residents and businesses of both Walla Walla & College Place.  It is the future of great commercial businesses and multi-family living mixed with open space that Walla Walla is known and loved for!

Have you driven downtown Walla Walla?  If we embraced the “Don’t Bend” concept would we have all the great shops, galleries and restraunts?  Walla Walla business owners flourish due to the restoration project of our downtown and the tourism numbers show it! 

Urban Growth Development, UGA, area’s designated for future homes are essential to our area.  Why?  Look at your taxes!  Simply put…(if there is such a thing), in order to have and maintain roads, schools, hospitals, we need roof tops to share the burden.  Unless of course you are willing to maintain this great lifestyle on your own property tax!  The future of Walla Walla and College Place depends on growth.  Yes, it needs management.  Yes, you should get involved in it’s management…if you care!  Currently UGA area’s are at a stand still due to the high costs of development and the “Don’t Bend Walla Walla” attitude.  So, get involved, learn more about it, embrace healthy growth.  It is what has made Walla Walla Valley beautiful.

It’s a new year!  Shed the old attitudes and get involved!  Let’s work together to maintain the quality of life we all love!  Growth is essential to the valley and it’s citizens!  Get involved!!!!!



Happy New Year Walla Walla

Unbelievable! A great start to the new year. It was 54 degrees today. A great warm trend to Walla Walla and it’s melting of last weeks record snow fall! This was the Walla Walla weather I first fell in love with. Mild winters! Having lived in northern Alberta for 9 years and on the west side of Washington state, the climate in Walla Walla has always been attractive! Not too much snow, rain and great warm summers!!!

Here’s looking directly toward a new year with great vision, promise in real estate too. Like the weather the change is on the horizon. With over 120 expired listings today buyers can look forward to low interest rates and prices that reflect a true market values!!! Walla Walla is still alive and well! Happy New Year Walla Walla!!!
