Hmm. Sounds idyllic...Not sure if I could get anyone to move further south,
though.

I've found Anne in Bellevue from this list already <g>.

Don't know where Farrell McWhirter park is, but I've looked at Cottage Lake
park as we've driven by it, thinking "what a nice place to hang out in the
summer"!

The one property we've looked at is on Lake Sammamish (sp?), about 1 1/2
acres and close to both Starbucks *and* Krispy Kreme. But it will be gone
by the time we are ready to move.
