What makes a neighborhood feel like home? Often, it’s the places where you start becoming a regular. ☕️

This week's spotlight is Haven Cafe in Lynnwood, a newer local spot near Edmonds College designed for everything from a quick coffee run to studying, working or catching up with friends.

And coffee is only part of the story here. Haven’s menu stretches from espresso and specialty lattes to boba and premium Uji matcha, along with some seriously good eats, making it the kind of place where everyone can find their order.

What coffee shop should be on my list next?

When you’re buying a home, the roof is one of those things you definitely want to understand before closing.

🏡 How old is it? Has it leaked? Has it been repaired? Is there documentation? And is replacement likely to be a near-term expense?

A roof doesn’t need to be brand new for a home to be a good buy, but knowing its age, condition, and history can help you make a much more informed decision.

If you’re thinking about buying, reach out. A knowledgeable real estate agent can help you ask the right questions, understand what the inspection is telling you, and know when it may be worth bringing in a roofing professional for a closer look.

What makes a neighborhood feel like home? Sometimes, it starts with knowing where to get a really good cup of coffee. ☕️

This fall, I'm highlighting locally owned coffee shops that help give our communities their character, and taking a closer look at what’s actually in the cup.

First stop: Walnut Street Coffee, an Edmonds community gathering place since 2006. Walnut serves coffee roasted by Seattle’s Espresso Vivace, and its menu connects to several other local and regional makers, too.

What local coffee shop should I visit next?

September Home Maintenance 🏡✨ Before it’s time to turn on the heat, have your air and ventilation systems inspected by the professionals to ensure efficient and healthy airflow.

Note: if you need to purchase or replace any major household appliances, September and October are usually when the latest models are revealed and are the best months to buy them.

Roof maintenance doesn’t have to mean climbing onto your roof every weekend.
A few simple habits: keeping gutters clear, staying ahead of moss, trimming nearby branches, watching for visible wear, and checking for signs of moisture inside; can go a long way toward protecting one of the most important parts of your home.

This week in Know Your House: Roofs, I’m breaking down the maintenance homeowners should actually be doing, plus a few signs that it may be time to bring in a professional.

A little attention now can help prevent much bigger surprises later.

September means new routines, fuller calendars…and somehow everyone still expects dinner. 🍎

How old is your roof? It’s one of those home details that’s easy to overlook until it suddenly matters. 🏠

Different roofing materials come with very different expected lifespans, but age is only part of the story. Installation quality, ventilation, maintenance, surrounding trees, sun exposure, and our Northwest climate can all affect how quickly a roof wears.

This week in Know Your House: Roofs, we’re breaking down typical roof lifespans, what can shorten them, and some of the signs that your roof may be ready for a closer look.
Knowing what you have, and roughly how old it is, makes it much easier to plan ahead.
