Beautiful Day in Lake Forest Park

Walking along the Burke-Gilman Trail is always a delight, but I especially like it when the Eagles are out!   Today we saw three – one immature eagle without his signature white head and then two adults fishing.   The photo is of one of the adults we saw and captured with my phone while on a walk this AM.

Let me know if you want to see any Lake Forest Park homes at all – I am happy to help.   Tomorrow promises to be another great day and a good one for capturing views of Lake Washington.

Lake Forest Park Towne Centre Ace

Lake Forest Park WA Ace Hardware in the Towne Centre is pretty nice: Enjoy a very much needed fully stocked hardware store which is nicely showcased on the center of the North East upper Lake Forest Park Mall.  The new Ace has some great stuff and the displays are quite attractive – great use of space here – go check it out! We were pretty pleased to be able to easily run down the street and grab a wide variety of items we needed to get our latest LFP listing on the market.

You can have your breakfast at the Honey Bear Bakery inside Third Place Books and then wander over to pick up all the tools you need for getting your household chores done, or stop by after a delicious lunch at Great Harvest.  Lake Forest Park Towne Centre is definitely a one stop shopping trip for you now!
