Pullman is literally surrounded by the most amazing community parks. These parks are located in town, in neighborhoods and close to where you want to be. Although Pullman has over 14 parks, these are some of the largest. Whether you are uptown or downtown there is sure to be a park close by.

MILITARY HILL PARK

Bring your dog and take a slow stroll along the many trails including an exercise trail in Military park. Military Park is located on the corner of Hall Street and Larry Street and shares it's property with the Pullman High School.

This park is full of tennis courts, soccer fields, basketball courts, picnic areas and more. You are welcome to bring your BBQ but there are also BBQ pits and grills provided as well as covered picnic areas.

One of the favorite attractions of Military Park is the nearby Aquatic Center. This community center includes swimming lessons for all ages, therapudic pool and exercise room.

CONSERVATION PARK

Located just south of Military park is Conservation Park and it really is just that. Although there are not playgrounds and sports field this is truly a nature experience all in itself. There are trails throughout the park and depending on the time of year you visit you are likely to see wildlife, various flowers and plants and fields of green. This is a wonderful park to visit and play in.

SUNNYSIDE PARK

Located at 147 SW Cedar Street in Pullman and just a little farther southwest from Conservation Park is Sunnyside Park. This park is known for it's golf course and sports courts. This provides a short course for the novice golf player although depending on the weather can be tricky with a large pond on site.

KRUEGAL PARK & LAWSON GARDENS

These two parks run into each other and provide a beautiful oasis in the middle of town. With Lawson Gardens surrounded by lush fields and circular garden beds this is sure to be a wonderful place to come and have lunch, browse with your thoughts or tour the best that Pullman has to offer in the flora department. Just north of the gardens in Kruegal Park. You can walk to each of these locations but there is a convenient road connecting the two. Kruegal Park offers baseball fields, tennis courts and a playground area. These are perfect spots to enjoy for the whole family from little kids, picnic areas or grown-ups to enjoy the beautiful gardens.

MCGEE PARK

Located just south of the Trinity Lutheran Church in Northeast Pullman is the McGee Park. This park offers softball fields, fenced basketball courts, picnic shelters and BBQ grills plus playground and restroom facilities. This is a great place to come for a Sunday afternoon and enjoy all that a park in Pullman has to offer.

Our power here in Pullman Washington just went out for a few minutes both at my house and one of my listings across town. The power is now back up thank goodness and temperatures are mild so I suspect there will be no concerns, but it does bring to mind the importance of good neighbors and how we must watch out for each other.

Regardless of whether you have your home on the market or planning on a trip out of town, you need to leave a key with a trusted neighbor. That way if the power does go out, you have someone who can easily check on your home for you.

As a Realtor®, I check pretty regularly on my listings. But I often don’t know when the power goes out in another part of town. That is where a neighbor is tremendously helpful. Besides, in adverse conditions, they can probably get to the home and check it out more efficiently than I might be able to do.

Neighbors helping neighbors. It really is a system that can’t be beat. I remember fondly when I helped one of my neighbors sell a home after the passing on his parents. They were a dear elderly couple that welcomed us in the neighborhood. When they passed off the scene, their son enlisted my help to sell their home. I fondly remember him giving me the keys to my house, that his parents had. Now of course, those were old keys with licks changed many times over long ago, but in their day everyone in the neighborhood had keys to selectively given to trusted neighbors. It is a principle that we should strive emulate. And we will all be the better for it....

Pullman Washington Homeowners....You Ready for Snow?

Our corner of Washington state here in Pullman is about to get its first fall snow! Many of our leaves are still on the trees, but with a wind advisory this afternoon, I suspect they will be blowing right off the trees! And colder temperatures and precipication means one thing...SNOW!

I thought I would take a moment today to provide my clients, both new homeowners and sellers, with a 5 tips today.

1. If you haven’t done so, make sure your hoses are disconnected and put away.

2. Clean your gutters. It is important to have clean gutters for water to move down your gutter system and away from the house. Overflowing gutters leads to lots of problems from water in your basement to ice dams during freezing temperatures. So although you might have done this you might need to double check them again after leaves are down to be sure water is moving as it should.




3. Think twice before grabbing that ice melt product. It absolutely ruins concrete. Really the best bet is to get that snow shoveled and let it melt naturally. If you need something for traction, try sand or gravel.

4. You might want to get your furnace serviced now. And don’t forget to change your filter regularly! With the temperatures dropping, you want your furnace working effectively and efficiently.

5. If you have a wood burning fireplace, consider getting in a chimney sweep to get it cleaned. And make sure you have the damper closed off when not in use so your heat doesn’t go straight out the chimney.

And of course, last but not least, enjoy the change of seasons that make living in Pullman Washington such a great place to live! I know I do!

Pullman WA Lori CoferWith the temperatures dropping in Pullman, I thought I would provide a few cold weather showing tips for sellers. Showings will most likely decrease as the the temperatures decrease and we get closer to Thanksgiving as well.

1. Leave your porch light on. It is about 4:00 right now and with the recent time change, we are getting darker and darker earlier and earlier. Agents and your buyers might view your home late in the afternoon. A front porch light says “welcome and spend some time in the home!”


2. Make sure your thermostat is turned up to a comfortable temperature. Cold homes feel...well...just that cold. That warm inviting feeling is absent.

3. Leave interior lights going. It will add to that warm inviting feeling. Let your buyer envision themselves coming home to a cozy, well lit home.

4. If you have a gas fireplace, invite the agent to turn it on and off again before they leave.

5. If your have surround sound or heated floors, make sure you turn these features on for a buyer to appreciate.

6. With Thanksgiving around the corner, why not put out a nice note to the buyer thanking him for coming to look at your home.

You may have fewer showings, but remember those buyers that are out looking are serious...so treat them like GOLD!
