  • Enjoying the abundant nature: river otters, beavers, swans, rotating duck flocks, bald eagles, cranes, osprey, fish, frogs.
  • Having easy access to the trails in Tolt McDonald Park right from the house. Whether I’m hiking or mountain biking, it’s amazing to have such a beautiful network of volunteer-maintained trails so close by.

  • Free summer concerts on rotating neighbors’ docks who volunteer.
