The Wild Wheat Cafe in Kent, WA

The Wild Wheat Bakery and cafe in Kent, WA would be a great place to take your Mom out for Mother's Day Sunday Brunch. It is a small restaurant nestled in downtown Kent near Kent Station and the Kent Library at

202 First Ave S (at Gowe Street)

They make everything from scratch. The breakfast is traditional, yet extravagant. They also have an extended lunch menu as well as handcrafted desserts in their bakery.

Living in Covington, WA

Living in Covington, WA since the days of one Johny's supermarket, and one Valley Bank to all of this today has been great. It used to be the city of Kent and later incorporated to the City of Covington. Now there are restaurants, Pier 1, Costco, Home Depot, Kohls, and so much more that I would name all of them but it would only loose your attention. If you live in the right neighborhood in Covington, you are just a walking distance to the heart of the city which is on Kent-Kangley.

Although housing price in Covington has always been more affordable than Kent and Renton. I know that someday the housing price will be just as competitive as the rest of the surrounding cities. It is affordable to live in Covington today.

Drive through the city and some of the neighborhoods sometime and you will find views of Mt Rainier.

Environmentally Green Kitchen

An increasing number of howeowners are thinking green when it comes to the kitchen, and it's not the color shade in a fruit or vegetabel. What does it really mean "Green Kitchen"? It' about conserving energy, water, electricity, and keeping the kitchen as safe as possible.

Thinking green in the kitchen is to avoid particleboard cabinet units that contain urea-formaldehyde. Choose instead, durable, solid wood cabinetry with traditional joints and timber glues.

· Select metal cabinets or opt for the rustic charm of cabinets for sale at salvage shops.

· Choose tile, granite, stainless steel, or solid wood for your countertop surfaces. Some laminates release undesirable chemicals.

When it comes to flooring, avoid vinyl, which can emit chemical fumes. Substitutes include stone, tile, and reclaimed wood (logs retrieved from river bottoms and abandoned buildings that are remanufactured into beams and flooring).

· Bamboo, a fast-growing woody grass, and sound-absorbing cork are unique and surprisingly well-suited flooring alternatives. Bamboo flooring is harder than Northern Red Oak, according to the National Wood Flooring Association.Bamboo, a fast-growing woody grass, and sound- absorbing cork are unique and surprisingly well- suited flooring alternatives. Bamboo flooring is harder than Northern Red Oak, according to the National Wood Flooring Association.

· For both cabinetry and flooring, avoid endangered wood species such as teak and mahogany.

Maximizing natural sunlight and supplement your windows with a variety of general, task, and atmospheric lighting that are specific to your areas of activity.

· Trade incandescent lights for energy-efficient versions or fluorescent lighting.

· Use timers, dimmers, or cabinet contact switches to further conserve energy. · Accessorize with a collection of houseplants and flowers to remove air pollution. · Use natural colors that stem from the materials you use.

· Choose energy-efficient appliances. Look for the Environmental Protection Agency's Energy Star label, which earmarks appliances that consume less than the minimum federal standards for electricity.

· Choose an appliance whose capacity is appropriate for your family's needs; the larger the appliance, the more energy it requires to run.

· Avoid running your dishwasher unless there's a full load. Opt for a glass- fronted oven, allowing you to check on food's progress without opening the door and wasting heat energy.

· Service appliances frequently to check for energy- wasting leaks.

· Avoid placing noisy refrigerators and dishwashers against partition walls, and try to select quieter models.

· Include a recycling center with bins for paper, plastics, glass, metal, and organic waste for composting, and larger bins in a garage or storage area used for collection or delivery. By choosing green design elements and products wisely, your green kitchen will be a model of harmony, efficiency, and economy.
