Tremendous Growth for Pasco, WA
Posted on Jun 29, 2007 by Cari McGee in Pasco Real Estate, Tri-Cities, WA
in ’06, but it didn’t even grow as much as it had in ’02,’03,’04 and ’05! Fantastic! Last year, Pasco’s population grew 5.5%. Total Tri-Cities population now stands at 168,650. West Richland adds another 10,000+ people to the mix. My favorite quote from the Tri-City Herald’s story is from Dean Schau, our local doom-and-gloom economist (yes, I know [...]
The Power of the Parent and the Community in Tri-Cities, WA
Posted on Jun 28, 2007 by Cari McGee in Tri-Cities, WA, West Richland Real Estate
I admit I’m a little heavy on the West Richland blog posts, but I live there, so I know this stuff! In 2004, the Wiley Elementary PTO was asked to spearhead an effort to get new computers for the school’s computer lab. The PTO that year tabled the suggestion for next year’s PTO to handle. [...]
Moving to the Tri-Cities, WA? U-Haul is not your best bet…
Posted on Jun 27, 2007 by Cari McGee in Buyers
apparently not, anyway. The Los Angeles Times is doing a series on U-Haul. Important pieces of evidence they’ve uncovered so far include no lug nuts on some wheels and failing emergency breaks. Moving is stressful enough without discovering you could die on your way to your new destination. I used U-Haul plenty of times, and the only [...]
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 [...]
But wait, there’s more…(formerly part of the West Richland, WA Water Worries series).

Thought I’d change the title … In the face of more opposition, they decided to do it anyway. “They” being the CID, and the “opposition” being an additional 174 objections to the Belmont LID. Clearly, this is a more accurate assessment of how people feel. If it really bothers someone, hopefully he or she has [...]
East or West, Home is Best

I traveled to Ireland over ten years ago. Before I went, and while I was there, I heard about the famous friendliness of the Irish people. If you ask for directions, they’ll close down the shop and walk with you (’tis easiest that way). Every single cashier thanked me for me ‘custom’. When we were [...]
Foreclosure Up Close and Personal
Posted on Jun 14, 2007 by Cari McGee in Buyers, Real Estate Career
As a rule, I’m not horribly sensitive. I don’t always cry at sentimental commercials. I feel manipulated by some television programs, as if I’m supposed to cry, so not only do I not cry, I change the channel. But one of the first houses I ever sold was foreclosed upon just about 18 months after [...]
YTD Tri-Cities WA Solds, Actives, Under Contracts and a bunch of other stuff, too
Posted on Jun 14, 2007 by Cari McGee in Tri-Cities Market
Okay, statisticians, it’s your favorite time of the month!
