Weekend Tour of the Woodinville Wineries

The sun was out, the sky was blue, the temperature was perfect and we could see Mt. Rainier clear as day from I-5 south in Everett. I knew it was going to be a great day to explore some wineries in Woodinville, Washington! This wasn't out first foray into Woodinville. At the end of April …

We have been on the move for so long that we decided to use the long Memorial Day weekend to catch up on a few things: Sleep House Hunting Exploring Local Activities We were successful on all accounts, although the house hunting is getting discouraging. There is simply no inventory, and half of the time …
