If you are looking for something more rural, but with a view, my listing at 8219 S. 130th St. in Renton's Earlington neighborhood may be just the thing. 3 bedrooms and 1.75 baths with a deck overlooking the valley and mountains. Finished basement needs just a couple of tweaks to turn it into a Mother-in-law unit. Price reduced from $225,000 to $190,000. MLS# 256444

Help by clicking

Recession or no recession, there will always be others who need our help, either financially or emotionally. Sometimes we have the financial resources to help, sometimes we don't. If you have an internet connection, here is a website that enables you to do good without giving money.  www.thehungersite.com

As the name implies, The Hunger Site was originally conceived to help feed the hungry by soliciting sponsors who donate money each time someone visits the site and clicks the donation button. It is that simple. The success of their efforts inspired the site's creators to expand their efforts and so, The Breast Cancer Site was born. Now there are 8 separate causes that you can help support by going to www.thehungersite.com and clicking on a series of buttons. It "costs" you less than 30 seconds -- no money -- to donate to all or some of these causes. You are allowed to visit/click on each site once a day.

In addition to helping to end hunger and find a cure for breast cancer, you can click to aid in animal rescue, literacy, rainforests, veterans, child health and autism. Please consider starting each day with a visit to at least one of these sites. You can access any one by visiting any of the others, since they are all linked.

Here are the individual sites:
www.TheHungerSite.com
www.TheBreastCancerSite.com
www.TheAnimalRescueSite.com
www.TheVeteransSite.com
www.TheAutismSite.com
www.TheLiteracySite.com
www.TheRainforestSite.com
www.TheChildHealthSite.com

PLEASE SHARE THIS POST TO HELP SPREAD THE WORD. The success of the sites depends on the willingness of good people like you and it takes so little to help a great deal. If you have a blog of your own, please consider re-posting this or post it to Facebook and/or other social media sites.

Thank you for helping!
