Why Investing in Tri-Cities Real Estate is a Smart Idea
Posted on Aug 29, 2011 by Cari McGee in Kennewick Real Estate, Pasco Real Estate, Richland Real Estate, Tri-Cities Market
I used to kind of freeze up when people talked to me about investment property. I would smile and nod and parrot, “Yes, it looks like a good investment.” However, now I am so thrilled to be able to articulate WHY. I took a class (a couple, actually), in investing – how it works, what [...]
Walkability in the Tri-Cities
Posted on Dec 6, 2010 by Cari McGee in Kennewick Real Estate, Miscellaneous, Pasco Real Estate, Richland Real Estate, Tri-Cities, WA
I thought Zillow came up with this “walk score” feature a while ago, but maybe I am wrong. There’s a separate url for walk scores, not affiliated with Zillow, to my knowledge, over at http://www.walkscore.com . The Walk Score is supposed to indicate the desirability of a city or a neighborhood. The higher a walk [...]
Moving in and Out of Tri-Cities, WA
Posted on Jun 22, 2010 by Cari McGee in Kennewick Real Estate, Richland Real Estate, Tri-Cities, WA
It’s always fun when two or more seemingly disparate parts of me find something they can enjoy together. For example, this info combines my love of real estate, statistics and migration trends. This map is fascinating. You click on a county and you find where the people moved to when they left, or where the [...]
How Tri-Cities High Schools Measure Up
Posted on Jun 14, 2010 by Cari McGee in Kennewick Real Estate, Richland Real Estate
Newsweek published a list of the top 1,600 high schools in the nation. 1,600 sounds like a lot, but in terms of all the public high schools in this great nation, it’s only 6% of the total. So, locally, we made the list at #1058 (Kamiakin High School in Kennewick) and #1094 (Hanford High School [...]

Richland Gyms and How NOT to Work Out In One
Posted on Apr 4, 2008 by Cari McGee in Richland Real Estate
I go to the gym right near the office, at Columbia Point. There are no showers or changing rooms, no fitness experts hanging around, and no ‘beautiful people’ showing off their perfect bodies. Usually when I go, there are a couple older gentlemen and a young woman and one or two other people around. One [...]
2,664 Reasons Why It’s OK for the Cougars to Beat the Huskies
Posted on Oct 24, 2007 by Cari McGee in Richland Real Estate, Tri-Cities, WA, West Richland Real Estate
At William Wiley Elementary in West Richland, WA, they have an annual food drive. Two years ago, the Apple Cup Canned Food Battle began. Children donated canned goods and instant meal packages into their favorite team’s box. We have a ton more Cougar fans than Husky fans in this part of the state, so the Cougars [...]
Fun facts about Richland housing…
Posted on Jun 22, 2007 by Cari McGee in Richland Real Estate
I went to this page and then clicked on ‘Letter Houses’ under Richland, in the Architectural History section, along the left-hand column. There are loads of the A’s, B’s, C’s and F’s still around. They’re easy to spot. If we ever turned into an area with a huge housing need and no more land upon which [...]
