The Rock Wood Fired Pizza in Lynnwood - I love it and think you will too!

The Rock Wood Fired Pizza in Lynnwood

The Rock Wood Fired Pizza and Spirits located on 196 Avenue in Lynnwood is truly a destination for pizza lovers. One of 10 restaurants in the local chain, The Rock features handmade artisan pizzas with names like 'Bad to the Bone', 'Meaty beaty Big and Bouncy' and 'Yellow Brick Road'. All the pizzas are of course handmade on fresh dough, using ingredients the likes of which you will never find at one of the national pizza shops. It also goes without saying, that their pizzas get a little extra flavor from not being cooked in a standard commercial pizza oven, but a real pizza oven that gives their crust flavor that is hard to beat.

If that weren't enough, The Rock also serves up its own line of micro brewed beer to wash its pizza down with. How can you go wrong when you pair any of their scrumptious pizzas with a cold glass of beer such as their Rock Steady Red, Sledge Hammer IPA, or our favorite the Suicide Blonde Pilsner. Of course if something stiffer is what you're wanting to drink, they have a full bar at your disposal and you may wish to order up A Bucket, limit two per person please!

If you haven't deduced by now, The Rock has a definite Rock And Roll theme. The decor is best described as 'old industrial', featuring worn brick walls and metal. Guitars, posters of album covers and other rock 'n roll paraphernalia round things out, giving The Rock a very distinct and relaxed feel.

One last very important thing to mention about the rock is that it has an all you can eat lunch buffet! For one low price you can have a drink, salad and as much of their unparalleled pizza is you can pack away. This is a great way to try The Rock out and test out a variety of their pizzas. If you're in Lynnwood and looking for a place to have lunch I highly suggest you drop in!

The attack of the golf balls at the Port of Everett has ended. For now!

It seems that the Port of Everett is safe once again, as the rain of terror from falling golf balls seems to have ended. Whether it is because the Port of Everett turned its security camera around to watch the hills, or if the person doing it simply realized they were actually hitting something we may never know!

The fight over Bothell's garbage

I have to go with the pun that there is a big stink over who gets Bothell's garbage. (Sorry couldn't help it!) Of all the things in the world to fight over, it seems that King and Snohomish Counties are fighting over who gets to pick up Bothell's trash.

BOTHELL -- A cross-county fight over who gets Bothell's trash might derail the city's efforts to annex 22,000 new residents.

The Snohomish County Council voted 4-0 on Monday to oppose the annexation, unless Snohomish County continues to handle trash from the area in question. King County officials say an agreement with Bothell from the late 1980s entitles it to all the city's waste.
From: Herald.net

The problem is of course revenue. Both counties want the revenue generated by picking up garbage. Yes Virginia, it seems that your county is making money on hauling away your trash.

Personally I find the whole thing sort of amazing. I understand every county is strapped for money, but this just seems too funny!

Want to attend a great financial literacy class in Bellevue May 2nd for FREE?

It isn't too far of a drive from up here in Lynnwood and Everett to get to this free financial literacy class in Bellevue this weekend. I am really excited to go and learn some new skills to help keep our household budget in shape and keep us on the path to financial freedom. While I really do love selling real estate, it will be exciting when the day comes that I can do it purely for the joy of it and not worry about paying the bills!

Jim Piccolo, founder of Nouveau Riche (the best real estate education program in the country in my opinion) along with Craig Cottrell, the creator of the first college credited course on financial literacy will be doing the speaking, and it should be fantastic. This is an all day seminar, so my brain may be a bit melted down with information and ideas by Saturday night.

This is a deal that you have to register for, so if you are interested in improving your household's financial literacy, give me a call at 425-773-3149 and I will get you a seat! As I have said, this is a free seminar, and I know from past seminars with these guys, that you will walk away with more than a few ideas that can transform your life!
