Hi Readers!
Recently, I had the pleasure of helping my client Bill sell the Troutdale home he raised his family in. They spent 26 years there, and now it’s home to a young family who will be experiencing all the great things that area has to offer. Growing up here, I would spend just about every winter weekend driving through Troutdale on my way up to ski Mt. Hood. Raise your hand if you’ve skied the Glade! Nowadays (till my boys are old enough to shred), we love to head to Thousand Acre Park for our Boxer/Boston Terrier/Pit Bull Roz to romp. In the summer months, it’s great to stop by Sugar Pine Drive In for a sandwich or soft serve. On colder days or after a Gorge hike, be sure to stop into Tad’s Chick N Dump. Don’t forget to hit the outlet mall, their Pendleton store has some great scores, and they’ve just opened up a Columbia Outlet, too.
I love this little pit stop on the way to the Gorge or Mountain, and it’s also got a terrific quality of life for living – schools, restaurants, a charming downtown and beautiful parks nearby. If you are thinking of getting out of Dodge and want a slice of country living, call me. This Woodland gal will show you the ropes, and take you to the Sandy to skip rocks, too.

Till next time, high fives!
