Brokers fight data sharing

Several weeks ago we suggested, when looking for real estate, you begin with your local Multiple Listing Service instead of the well advertised third-party sites. The top reason for our recommendation was accuracy. Often the third-party aggregators will have the same address listed more than once with different prices, or different status than is factual.

Remembering the day the volcano blew

MOSES LAKE — It’s been 43 years since Mt. St. Helens erupted, spewing ash across vast swaths of the Pacific Northwest, covering towns, roads and fields of crops, and permanently changing the lives of many for days and weeks to follow. “It was just everywhere. People put pans out. They were shoveling it,” said Stephanie Massart, the regent of the Karneetsa Chapter of the National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution in Moses Lake. “People were using wheelbarrows to put it out on the street and dump trucks would come pick it up.”

Get your local on

It’s pretty amazing when you stop and look at all the things the Flathead Valley is known for. Whether it is destinations like the “Crown of the Continent” that Glacier National Park has become known as, to Flathead Lake, Flathead River, the Jewel Basin and so many more places. Or perhaps it is products like Flathead cherries and huckleberries, microbreweries and distilleries or even the firearms industry that has been making waves, from parts and pieces to complete rifles manufactured here. Even more, perhaps it’s the activities like skiing on Big Mountain, snowmobiling on the Flathead National Forest or fishing on Flathead Lake or the dozens of other lakes in the region.

A time to slow down and reflect

I can’t believe the holidays are nearly here!
