Read moreOur home has three bedrooms and one bathroom on the upper floor and a full lower level which has a very large office/studio, a large storage room and washer/dryer, a small bathroom and a long narrow garage. There are steps up to the front door from the street where one of us parks (very many parking spots because most people her have alleys and garages behind their houses. The house, although old, is modern and comfortable inside. It has a great kitchen and bathroom, wood floors in living/dining area. The large front window looks out over treetops toward the east. The back opens to a big pavered patio with a large green lawn wrapping up a hill.

We have an in-room airconditioner we sometimes use in our bedroom. And the basement stays so cool that using the fan only control of our heating system cools down the upstairs level of the house.

Our house is at an L at the end of our street where there is little traffic and many empty parking spaces. From here one can walk the 4 blocks over to our little beach community town which includes several restaurants, banks, and other essentials such as hardware, pharmacy, veterinarian, nail and hair places and a book store. The main street is Madison which comes from downtown Seattle and ends at Lake Washington in our town.


A bus makes several stops in our town and ends near PIke's Place Market just above Puget Sound.

Our pets

DogsDogs (1)
Murphy is an 8-year old mixed breed – part basset, part poodle or terrier they say. He is fluffy and spotted, has front feet that turn to 10 and 2 o'clock, and doesn't shed. He is short and long.
He is gregarious with people and other dogs. Cats, not so much. He rarely barks except when someone is at the door. He is a mild and happy dog. Murphy has no medical or physical problems that I know of. Murphy is neutered and micro-chipped.

He sleeps as late as whoever is with him does and needs feed, water, walking around 9 am and 4 p.m. He has a doggy door his other outside needs so he can be left during the day when needed. I hope the sitter will give him some attention and affection too, not just physical help.

Our garden
