Happy Thanksgiving!

Did you know research shows that a conscious decision to be thankful can make you happier, healthier, and more likely to achieve your personal goals? Sounds like a good reason to list some of the things we’re grateful for here at Alderbrook Properties:

• Our beautiful homes, with features like built-in bookcases and window seats, amazing hardwood floors, granite countertops, and light-filled rooms with lots of windows in which we can entertain …
• Our family and friends … who give us their love and companionship
• The natural beauty of the Olympic Peninsula … and views like this …

• Friendly neighbors … living in one of the greatest golf course communities around
• A great cup of coffee … and lots of coffee shops or kiosks tucked into unlikely corners (Visitors to Washington often comment on the huge number of coffee stands they see here.)
• The chance to live where we can enjoy local wildlife like this …

• All of the fun activities available here in western Washington … antiquing, wine-tasting, gaming, shopping at local art galleries, hiking, boating, fishing, climbing, beachcombing, bicycling, geocaching, golfing, horseback riding, kayaking, scuba diving, shellfish gathering, whale watching, windsurfing/sailboarding (just to name a few!)
• Having the best of both worlds … living a friendly, small-town lifestyle while enjoying access to the world-class city of Seattle, with its symphony, major league sports events, opera, theater, ballet, the Space Needle, Pike Place Market, award-winning Woodland Park Zoo (and much more)

Whew, we feel better already!
