stephsellsseattle [DUMAS BAY CENTRE, FEDERAL WAY WASHINGTON STATE] This is one spot that I feel like many locals don’t know about… tucked along a quiet coastal area of Federal Way. Not only are the grounds beautiful, they have a rotary Phone of the Wind, which made me tear up: “This phone will never ring. It is connected by love to nowhere and everywhere. It is for those who have an empty place in their heart left by a loved one. Say hello, say goodbye. Talk to the past, the present, the future. The wind will carry your message. Dedicated by the Federal Way Parks Commission” ———- From DumasBayCentre.com website: Set on 12 acres, Dumas Bay Centre offers a setting that embraces nature and beauty — a place where your guests can relax amid the panoramic splendor of the surroundings.

stephsellsseattle Finding the right real estate agent in the Greater Seattle area comes down to one thing: will they work in your best interest, no matter what? The kind of agent to hire is the one who tells you the truth, even when it's a hard conversation to have. That's the standard I hold myself to, no matter the situation. Sometimes that means I walk away, and sometimes that means the client decides I'm not the best fit for them. It stings, but I always know I'm doing the right thing and can hold my head high. If you're looking for an agent that's focused on getting YOU the win, my DMs are always open. I'm Stephanie, your Seattle-Metro & South King County Washington real estate agent. Follow along for more homes, events, and PNW life. P.S. If you're looking for an agent just like me, but not in my service area, I would be honored to partner with you with an expert that will take great care of you! Send me a DM to get connected. #StephSellsSeattle #LoveYourPNWLife #SeattleHomes #SouthKingCounty #WashingtonState #LifeInWA #PNWLiving #PNWHomes #MovingToThePNW #MovingToSeattle #CovingtonWA #MapleValley #KentWA #RentonWA #Issaquah #Sammamish

stephsellsseattle I adore noticing the little moments of daily life, and capturing those moments thoughtfully behind a lens, usually on my iPhone. This is one of my strengths as a realtor, being able to see the beauty in every space, and understanding how to frame something to capture it. In another life, maybe I’d have become a professional photographer or cinematographer; but for now, I can enjoy curating media in my own special way. I love sharing Washington State and the PNW through my eyes with you, and for me to look back on. Spring in Seattle breathes new life into each and every one of us, as the days get longer, the foliage unfurls, and the sun warms our skin. We yearn for these moments, and it sets the stage for the next 6 months of PNW dopamine. 🌲 Follow me @stephsellsseattle for more adventures, events, and life in the PNW, South King County, and Seattle-Tacoma Metro, Washington! 🌲 #LoveYourPNWLife #StephSellsSeattle #SouthKingCounty #SeattleHomes #WashingtonState iPhonography, Seattle Living, PNW living, PNW homes, Seattle Real Estate

I hope 7-Eleven keeps this flavor, because it was so refreshing, and without a weird aftertaste.

The new 7-Eleven in Maple Valley at Switcher’s Landing is large, with a LOT of variety, and quite nice. ——— I don’t swim in Lake Wilderness anymore because of the potential for swimmer’s itch and leeches, but it’s still an absolutely stunning park! ——— Lake Wilderness Park The Jewel of Maple Valley Nestled in the heart of Maple Valley, Lake Wilderness Park is the perfect escape for families, friends, and outdoor enthusiasts.
