Downsize by the Dots
Visitors to our open house received a free downsizing kit, compliments of Emerald Heights and Organize for Life, designed to help you get organized in place -- before you move a thing. Cleaning out your clutter or preparing for a move doesn't have to be a hassle. Just connect the dots!

Did you miss out? Don't despair! You can request your own kit by e-mail or phone (425-556-8100).
Resident Blog: My So-Called Retirement
Marilyn Farrell Photo MJFBlogWow! What a Day!
I got to play hostess and tour guide on April 18, showing off the trail and my favorite parts of Emerald Heights.

It was fun to meet people who have been reading my blog, and really fascinating to hear everyone's questions and stories. And I got out my camera and tried to capture some of the energy of the day.

Click here to view a short slide show of photos I captured at the Open House.

Or visit my blog anytime online. I added a little entry on the Open House. And I welcome your comments and questions by e-mail.
