RESTAURANT REVIEW: The Lemongrass in Renton
Having grown tired of some of the take-out we’ve been ordering since the March COVID-19 shutdown, Alan and I decided to try something new.
We discovered The Lemongrass in Renton—a local Vietnamese chain serving traditional dishes and vegetarian options in a casual, stylish space and were impressed by their huge menu, although somewhat reluctant to try it due to the low reviews. Nonetheless, we decided to give it a try.

FROM DON: An Attitude of Gratitude
Dear friends,
I hope this letter finds you healthy and well.
This year has been a challenge on so many levels that I’m finding it even more important than ever to focus on all that I have to be grateful for.
Allen and I have our health, our home, our loyal pugs Dylan and Dexter, and each other, which frankly feels like everything right now.
This year, I’ve also been fortunate enough to have helped 26 families settle down and achieve their life goals, and am especially grateful to the amazing team of real estate professionals who help me accomplish this day in and day out.
And that’s why I love what I do: meeting new friends, helping people and building relationships that last forever.
I’m so grateful for your friendship and referrals.
Here’s to a warm holiday season and a fulfilling 2021.

A Guide to Going Low-to-Zero Waste
Making the switch to a more sustainable household won’t happen overnight, but there are simple steps you can take to cut down on your home’s waste.
Start your waste-reducing process by getting to know your local disposal guidelines. What you can recycle varies at both the state and city level. Check your local municipality’s website for recycling rules and more information, like whether you need to separate your recycling and if your community accepts food and yard waste for composting.

CoBuying a Home: How Does it Work?
The first thing most people want to know about co-buying a home is, “how does co-buying work?” It’s a great question. Teaming up to buy a home is a big decision. There’s a lot of money involved, and it’s not your typical home purchase. Let’s first look at the big picture and then break it down.
Folks often focus on the purchase. But the transaction is just the start. Buying a home is not the end goal: the real objective is successful co-ownership. Success involves some combination of financial and social return on investment with minimal stress.
