At the beginning of Alex’s parents’ recent visit to Seattle we headed out for a quick day trip to The Lodge so they could check out the progress. While we had expected more to have been completed we were floored at how well The Lodge looked. It’s really starting to come together and some of …

Before we found our piece of property we had been scouring the real estate listings in the area and only growing more disappointed when we didn’t find anything. Eventually we decided to build our house so we …
