It’s Friday, let’s sweep this week!

Welcome to a Friday, let’s sweep this week! Locally we welcomed IN the Kraken draft on the shores of Lake Union – full bleacher report here on the athletes who will make Seattle their home ice – here. I appreciated digesting this NPR article on “why it is taking longer to build homes in Seattle” – here. I’ve begun delivering our summer issue of Windermere Living to my advertisers next week to drop in their marketing toolkit! Eye candy for all with a focus on featured listings, out-of-the-box charcuterie boards, trending textures & ways to upcycle – flip the pages right here! And oh, for all of you Ted Lasso fans – season 2 premiers today – love him!

…and 4,782 miles away we welcomed IN the 2021 Olympics as Windermere gives a nod to our local athletes and going all in for them in coverage sponsorship!
