Thank you for visiting my Columbia Gorge Real Estate Blog & Hood River Real Estate Blog here on Activerain. I started this Blog in 2007 to give the public information they may be seeking on the Columbia Gorge area, homes for sale, the real estate market in general here, and other local events and news. I have lived here in the gorge since 1985, first in Stevenson, Washington then in Hood River since 1993. I have been a licensed REALTOR® in the gorge since 1993 and have watched the market go through many interesting and dramatic changes here over the years. There are currently 200 homes between $100,000 up to $300,000 here in the gorge including all towns in both Washington and Oregon. This is a great time for first time home buyers. There's still time to buy a home and take advantage of the up to $8,000 federal tax credit. To take part in this you must close on the home by Dec. 1, 2009. Other blogs I keep up to date on are: Localism-Klickitat County Localism-Skamania County

Another event this weekend. Sternwheeler Days will be held in Cascade Locks at Marine Park June 26-28, 2009.

This is the annual summer celebration in Cascade Locks welcoming the return of the Columbia Gorge Sternwheeler back for the summer season. There will be food, music, art and crafts vendors and Sternwheeler rides on the bank of the Columbia River.

Thunder Island will be filled with Mountain Men who will be camped out and will be giving demonstrations on powder shoots, flint making, cooking over an open fire and more.

The town parade through downtown Cascade Locks will take place on Saturday morning at 11:00 am.

Plenty of fun for the whole family!

Scenery is all around us here in Hood River, Oregon. Stratton Gardens is one of my favorite places to enjoy. Located east of the Hood River County Courthouse, above Horsefeathers Restaurant and near the 2nd street stairs, here you can sit in a beautiful garden world that changes with the seasons. Roses, lavender, clematis, wild rose, park benches, rock walls and stairs and a rock sculpture fountain in the center. Absolutely peaceful.

These are some of the challenging mountain bike trails located up Post Canyon Rd in Hood River
