San Juan Island is the busiest island and probably the most diverse of the three main islands. There are a number of small businesses and restaurants, with the county government being the biggest employer. Tourism and growth are also major industries. The island has beautiful forests and lakes, two national parks with sandy beaches, picnic areas, great scenery, and lots of history. Rocky shorelines contrast with meadows and pastureland and there is great boating and fishing year-round.  |  | | | | |
Time to Move >Smart House Hunting
Serious house hunting can leave you worn out and confused at the end of the day. It is hard to remember which house had the great back yard and kitchen and which one you ruled out because of inadequate storage space. Some of the houses you visited looked familiar--like maybe you had seen them before. How can you conserve energy and keep it all straight?
The first step is to find a real estate agent who knows the area well and will only show you homes that meet your criteria. Next you should acquire a small note pad in order to keep a record of the homes you visit. Note the address, style and exterior color, as well as something distinctive about the house that will trigger your memory. Make a special note if a house has real possibilities. Jot down important pluses and minuses of each property and share this information with your real estate agent. This will help you to narrow down the houses so that you can focus on your favorites.
