I just pulled a list of open houses for the weekend from the MLS, and it looks like it’s going to be an active weekend for Woodinville and surrounds (area 600). Click here for a map of all open houses for this weekend.

The Villas at Woodinville Village is open this weekend 12 to 6, if you haven’t seen the model home yet you should stop by. These riverfront townhomes are just gorgeous. They are getting ready to release their second phase next weekend, so make plans to stop by and see the model this weekend, then stop by again next weekend to see more.

Here’s the model home in phase one:

Here’s the home exterior:

And here’s the gorgeous view of the Sammamish River Valley, across to Chateau Ste. Michelle. Every home at The Villas has this view.

Keeping the Cold and Flu Bug out of Woodinville

October 22nd, 2008
Posted by Susan @ mcm group Click Here To Comment »

It’s officially fall, and that means that cold and flu season is just around the corner.  Make sure your defenses are up and you take some preventative measures so that when the next nasty bug hits, your body is not as susceptible to coming down with something.

 

Diana Agee, owner of Nature’s Remedy, has some fantastic suggestions for you to stay on top of your health and wellness.  She recommends extra Vitamin C, Echinacea, Astragalus and/or Olive Leaf Extract as the perfect supplements for aiding your body’s defenses this time of year.  Her store also features some preventative blends, such as Wellness Formula and Immuno Shield, that are an easier alternative to taking multiple individual supplements.

Diana is a great resource for all of your natural care alternatives and her store offers an exceptional collection of products.  Be sure to mind the “official store manager,” Allison, as she loves a little attention that comes in the way of a few pets and rubs, too!

Nature’s Remedy is in the Woodinville Towne Center, open Monday - Thursday from 10am to 7pm and Friday and Saturday from 10am to 6pm.  You can call them at (425) 485-4633.

Welcoming a Newcomer Texas-Style

October 15th, 2008
Posted by Susan @ mcm group Click Here To Comment »

This is Ian, and he’s brand spanking new to Woodinville.  He spent half of his life east of the mountains and the other half in the South end, but in the end couldn’t resist the charm of Woodinville!

As the unofficial, self-appointed ambassador I felt it my duty to show Ian around, starting with dinner at the Texas Smokehouse Bar-B-Q (see previous post). I wanted to get his review of the food while he was eating, but Ian was all business cleaning his plate - I even had to defend my pulled pork sandwich from his grasp!

One of my favorite things about Texas Smokehouse is the beer.  So far, its the only restaurant I’ve found that serves up Shiner Bock, a great, mellow beer with rich flavor from Shiner, Texas that’s widely popular with several of my Texan friends.  Ian seemed impressed, too!

We love our Woodinville Restaurants!

Mmm Mmm Mmm…tasty food is to be had at the infamous Woodinville Cafe in Woodinville Towne Center.  If you haven’t been to this landmark, you must go.  Now.  They serve up some delicious plates and you will love the variety that their extensive menu offers.  Breakfast, lunch or dinner, daily specials, and homemade desserts to boot.  A great place for weekend brunch (but expect to wait).  This is a place you will want to make a habit.

 

Here’s what MCM Agent Amie Lynn had to say about her breakfast today:

“Today I tried the California Scramble…just as good as it sounds.  Eggs scrambled with bacon, hash browns, Tillamook Cheddar, green onions and tomato and topped with sliced avocado and a dollop of sour cream.  And don’t forget it comes with toast or pancakes!”  Here’s a picture she took:

Other favorites are the Chicken Tender Salad and French Dip.  You can visit Woodinville Cafe at 14170 NE Woodinville-Duvall Road.

Massage for the Cure - Congratulations Woodinville!

October 13th, 2008

Did you know that October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month?

 We’d like to give a shout-out to Massage Envy!  This month, they enthusiastically announced the return of the one-day Massage for the Cure event.  On October 6th, registered guests received a one-hour Swedish massage for a suggested donation of $40.  Instead of paying Massage Envy for their one-hour-in-heaven, 100% of the proceeds went to charity!  The Woodinville clinic alone raised over $3500 for the Puget Sound affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure. 

 

The region has raised over $40,000 from this event, which will support breast cancer research initiatives through Susan G. Komen for the Cure.  The Komen Puget Sound Affiliate also provides breast cancer screenings and treatments for under-served women in western Washington.

Massage Envy is dedicated to providing professional and affordable therapeutic massage services to consumers with busy lifestyles at convenient times and locations - look out again next year for Massage for the Cure, and in the meantime, check out the Woodinville location at 14213 NE Woodinville-Duvall Road.  You can also check out their website at www.massageenvy.com for more information on their services.

Texas Smokehouse Bar-B-Q in Woodinville

October 12th, 2008
Posted by Susan @ mcm group 1 Comment »

If you haven’t made it to Texas Smokehouse Bar-B-Q, you really haven’t experienced true Woodinville living.  Located next to Purple Cafe, its a true local favorite.

 

 Everything I have had there has been wonderful.  However, the must-have is the Texas Spud.  The whole baked potato is stuffed with butter, sour cream, cheddar cheese, chopped brisket (in regular or spicy), Bar-B-Q sauce and green onions.   My waistline is very grateful that they offer a 1/2 Texas Spud.  They also offer a vegetarian version of this dish.  I haven’t yet tried it, but next time I go in I will be trying their “Great Tasting Meatless Bar-B-Q.”

Texas Smokehouse Bar-B-Q is also famous for their bunt-ends Wednesday.  Showing up early is a must if you don’t want to gamble on them running out, as there is often a line out of the door!  Try it, and let us know what you think!
