West Longview Christmas Lights Do to the bad weather conditions for the last week or so, we as a family have opted to mainly stay a home and out of the cold except for few times walking down the street for some down the hill sled action. Couple night ago, the kids and I decided to challenge bad road conditions and drive around our West Longview neighborhood and enjoy some great lighted homes with Christmas lights. It was a lot of snow on the streets but the drive wasn't bad, of course having a four wheel drive and being very careful helps a lot. Here are some of the photos we took, enjoy! Visit our West Longview real estate page for more information and links about the neighborhood.

A Visit To The Annual Cowlitz County Unique Tin Car Show and Swap Meet 2008    What a unique experience! I had not attended the car show in few years and was surprised of how much has change and grown. According to organizers this show attracts over 3,000 spectators each year and listening to the announcers over the microphone the attendance on Saturday was a record breaker.  This yearly event has marked the end of Cowlitz County Summer fun events for the last of 34 years.    The event opened the doors at 8:00 a.m. to hundreds of classic and custom-built cars, trucks and some motorcycles, swap meet, vendors and early eager spectators. Then was followed by exciting events throughout the day like some line dance performance, some contests with up to $300 prices, award and parade of winner...

Early this month a child of one of our own in the real estate industry (9 year old Hannah, the daughter of Danni Wicken from Chicago Title) was diagnosed with leukemia. A devastating situation, our harts and prayers go out to her and her family. The incredible support and unity the whole Cowlitz County community has shown has been unbelievable; neighbors, class mates, co-workers, parents and teachers of her school and the real estate community (among others) have jumped on board to help with meals, toy, organized car washes, raffles and other fund raisers. Click here for more on her story.Since I know Danni through work and my 10 year old daughter (Leslie) attends the same school as Hannah, we decided to team up and volunteer on last Sunday's car wash organized by Dnni's co-workers and ...

Well, this last weekend, here in Cowlitz County we finally had nice weather, for the first time it felt like spring. It is a great feeling to go outside and see the sun shinning, all the colorful trees blooming and the beginning of all the sport activities baseball, softball and spring soccer. My wonderful wife (Martha) and I are the proud parents of three great children Alan, Leslie, and our baby Edgar; all three are in sports so we had a very busy day on Saturday, three games and opening ceremonies spread out through the day from 9:00 am till 4:00 pm. Our first event was Edgar's T-ball game. We had a great time watching him and his team mates play their first T-ball game, these kid are from 4 ½ to 6 years old (Edgar is 4 ½). As you can imagine it was a lot of excitement there, a lot o...

I inspected a duplex up in Cowlitz County on Friday and the crawl space was infested with mold.  So I thought I would pass this along. 1.      Potential health effects and symptoms associated with mold exposures include allergic reactions, asthma, and other respiratory complaints. 2.      There is no practical way to eliminate all mold and mold spores in the indoor environment; the way to control indoor mold growth is to control moisture. 3.      If mold is a problem in your home, you must clean up the mold and eliminate sources of moisture. 4.      Fix the source of the water problem or leak to prevent mold growth. 5.      Reduce indoor humidity (to 30-60%) to decrease mold growth by: a.      venting bathrooms, dryers, and other moisture-generating sources to the outside; b.      using...
