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 [...]
Happy Thanksgiving!

Not a lot of people read this blog, and that’s okay with me. I like sharing news about living in the Tri-Cities and working in the great real estate market we have here. If someone reads it, great. If not – it’s still a forum. It’s kind of like, “If a tree falls in the [...]
Books and Houses (or, How I Spend My Days)
Posted on Sep 24, 2010 by Cari McGee in Miscellaneous
This post is for the readers out there – I read a lot. I reread a lot, too. It’s comforting – like watching a rerun of your favorite TV program (the Family Ties when Alex and Mallory visit Princeton and Mallory’s boyfriend breaks up with her), or seeing a great movie on TNT for the [...]
The Magic of Home
Posted on Jul 22, 2010 by Cari McGee in Miscellaneous
There is magic in that little world, home: it is a mystic circle that surrounds comforts and virtues never known beyond its hallowed limits. – Robert Southey, poet Last week my brother gave me a DVD of converted 16mm film home movies shot in the 40′s, 50′s and 60′s. There were a lot of people [...]
If You Lived Here, You'd Be Appreciating By Now
Posted on Oct 20, 2009 by Cari McGee in Miscellaneous
My absence from regular blogging, my accounting spreadsheet, and the fact that I’ve had dinner with the family about 10 days out of the last 100, attest to the fact that I have been very busy. Mostly with first-time homebuyers who want to take advantage of the first-time homebuyer tax credit, but our market is [...]
Real Estate Open Houses: Lock Up Your Valuables
Posted on Mar 25, 2009 by Cari McGee in Miscellaneous
Late last week, the Kennewick police arrested a man who is accused of looking for prescription medicines while attending Open Houses. I hadn’t encountered the man, but some of my real estate colleagues had, and were relieved to have him behind bars in time for the Open House Extravaganza on Sunday. Apparently, the guy would [...]

Posted on Feb 22, 2009 by Cari McGee in Miscellaneous
Aaaargh! It happened again! I did get time to write some more posts this week, but they’re over at the Richland and Pasco blog sites. So, this past week, what went down? Well, the HUGE news was the mall closing down for three hours while they looked for the third suspect in a JCPenney break-in. [...]
Santa's ETA for the Tri-Cities – 12 midnight!
Posted on Dec 24, 2008 by Cari McGee in Miscellaneous
Words cannot express how much I LOVE the NORAD tracks Santa site. We log in every year (they provide hourly updates starting at 3am PST on 12/24) to see where Santa is on his travels. My kids learn geography and find out where the big guy is expected next. My favorite memory of Santa-tracking took [...]
