OPEN HOUSE THURSDAY, 4/28/16, 4-7PM.

If the walls of the residence at 25017 18th Ave. S could talk, their story-telling would begin with the epic ping pong battles that took place in the recreation room. Brother against brother, Father against son, uncle against nephew, and cousin against cousin. Great ping-pong players all with incredible rallies that ended with oohs and awes and laughter.

The dining room table played host to many Big Boggle family Tournaments over the years.

The high ceiling in the living room allowed for some beautiful 12' Christmas trees which was necessary to display all the ornaments. It was not uncommon for neighborhood kids to come over and check out the "Sprague" Christmas tree.

The man of the house was active in the Coast Guard Auxiliary and the VFW. The house hosted countless meetings of both organizations.

The flat driveway, one of only three in the neighborhood, meant that it was the official meeting place for the annual block party. A lot of food, kids, and getting to know new neighbors.

The lower deck was for family Bar-B-Qs. The small upper deck was for quiet reading facing the forested area bordering the the back yard.

The sewing room was a building unto itself so it seemed. The woman of the house was a professional seamstress and after she retired, taught sewing to many young moms and their daughters. It's been a great house, great home and great gathering place, now offered for a new buyer.

Federal Way


Many local investors look to cities like Federal Way to provide more affordable real estate opportunities in Western Washington. Federal Way is a city in King County, Washington, located between Seattle and Tacoma. A median home in Federal Way sells for $315,000 as compared to $530,000 in the city of Seattle.

It looks like some of the big boy investors have caught on to Federal Way as well:

Weyerhaeuser officials announced in August 2014 that they would move their Federal Way-based headquarters to Seattle in mid-to-late 2016, citing the too-large 430-acre campus and lack of enough talent in Federal Way as the main reasons for that decision. Officials have since confirmed they will make the move to 200 Occidental Ave.in Seattle this summer.

Until then, Industrial Realty Group will lease the five-story building to Weyerhaeuser. After its move, the company will maintain a presence in the Technology Center under a lease with Industrial Realty Group.

Industrial Realty Group owns more than 120 properties in 28 states with more than 100 million square feet of space. The company is currently the master developer for the National Football League’s Hall of Fame Village, which includes the renovation of the Pro Football Hall of Fame Field.

So does this mean exciting opportunities are on their way to Federal Way?

Maybe. Smart investors know to keep their eyes on trends and the paths of progress. If you are interested in Federal Way real estate for sale, please message me privately at HomeLandInvestment@gmail.com
