The current real estate boom in the Wenatchee Valley  could turn into a full fledged explosion.  This past week-end’s Wenatchee World newspaper had a comprehensive article on the anticipated growth for the area over the next 20 years.   It is projected the Wenatchee population could increase as much as 50% by the year 2026. 

The big question is how will this impact Wenatchee and the entire surrounding area.  The answer lies in how well a comprehensive growth plan is developed and implemented.   For the full text of the article, covering:  1) Parks, Recreation & Culture, 2) Public Facilities, 3) Economic Development, and 4) Land Use and Transportation, click here.   If you have trouble accessing the article, please let me know and I should be able to e-mail direct to your in-box.

I posted this on my real estate investment blog, but it’s so good couldn’t help myself from posting it here:

I have always been fascinated by the life and personality of Abraham Lincoln. When I saw the following quote on another (somewhat eccentric) blog, thought it was worth posting. Wouldn’t it be nice if the legal profession, and society in general, actually took this sage advice:
    "Discourage litigation. Persuade your neighbors to compromise whenever you can. As a peacemaker the lawyer has superior opportunity of being a good man. There will still be business enough."
