Aside from your room and bathrooms, you're welcome to use the living room (cable tv available for use), the dining room, the kitchen (fridge space, filtered water and ice dispenser; electric oven and stove; coffee maker or percolator, etc) and the patio. During your stay I work from home, so let me know if you need anything. If I'm not home, I'm just a phone call or a text message away. I love to explore places and I love people who love to do the same. I have explored the Pacific Northwest quite a bit and have my favorite spots. I do want to explore it some more, so I love discussions revolving around this topic. You're welcome to browse through my guidebooks, maps (use or have them if you need them). Other things to note The Pacific Northwest has been known for mild summers. People used to remark how hot it is when it gets to the mid 70s. Lately though, we've had summer days that reach the high 80s and 90s. We regulate the temperature by opening the windows when it gets hot. We don't use air conditioners and that's good for the environment. A swim in the nearby lake or an iced drink to cool down?
