Horrific! Our hearts go out to our clients & neighbors of Spokane.

600 structures destroyed in a single day. The Spokane Area Fires have nearly matched the damage of 2023's month-long Oregon Road and Gray fires combined — but in just 24 hours: https://www.krem.com/article/news/local/wildfire/the-spokane-area-fires-most-impactful-fires-since-2023/293-16a79766-f5f8-4e80-9471-78db999603cf?utm_medium=social&utm_source=facebook_KREM_2_News

Congress just passed one of the most significant housing bills in decades, and now lawmakers are eyeing a capital gains tax cut that could let individual home sellers keep up to $500K in profits tax-free, and up to $1 million for joint filers.

Right in our own back yard!

Lake Pend Oreille is so deep the U.S. Navy tests submarine technology in it… and that alone is enough to make the lake feel mysterious. ⚓

In northern Idaho, Lake Pend Oreille drops well over 1,100 feet in places, making it one of the deepest lakes in the country. It is not just huge and glacially carved. It is also quiet enough, deep enough, and stable enough that the U.S. Navy has used it for decades as the home of its Acoustic Research Detachment in Bayview, where large-scale submarine and ship models are tested.

That real history is what gives the lake such an eerie reputation. You have this dark, cold inland lake surrounded by mountains, and beneath the surface the Navy has long carried out acoustic testing that sounds more like something from the ocean than from Idaho. Add in the sheer depth, and it is easy to understand why the lake has inspired local monster lore and whispered stories for years. 🌊

Maybe that is what makes Lake Pend Oreille so unforgettable. It is beautiful on the surface, but it also has the kind of depth and military history that makes people wonder what else might be hidden down there. Would you boat on a lake knowing the Navy uses it to test submarine technology? Tag someone who would be fascinated by this, and follow for more real lake legends and hidden history from across the United States. 👀
