Winter in Edmonds
Its been a long time since Edmonds and the greater Seattle area has experienced a winter such as this one. 10 years to be exact I remember it well I lived in Kingston Wa at that time and was snowed in just as I have been for the last four days. But as they say some times you must make lemonade out of lemons here are some folks doing just that. By the way be safe and enjoy the holidays.

Merry Christmas
Christmas is a time for love and fun,
A time to reshape souls and roots and skies,
A time to give your heart to everyone
Freely, like a rich and lavish sun,
Like a burning star to those whose lonely sighs
Show need of such a time for love and fun.
For children first, whose pain is never done,
Whose bright white fire of anguish never dies,
It’s time to give your heart to every one,
That not one angel fall, to hatred won
For lack of ears to listen to her cries,
Or arms to carry him towards love and fun,
Or friends to care what happens on the run
To adult life, where joy or sadness lies.
It’s time to give your heart to everyone,
For God loves all, and turns His back on none,
Good or twisted, ignorant or wise.
Christmas is a time for love and fun,
A time to give your heart to everyone.

Fed's Cut Rates
The Federal Reserve has cut its target for a key interest rate to the lowest level on record and pledged to use “all available tools” to combat a severe financial crisis and prolonged recession. The central bank on Tuesday said it had reduced the federal funds rate, the interest that banks charge each other, to a range of zero to 0.25 percent. That is down from the 1 percent target rate in effect since the last meeting in October. Many analysts had expected the Fed to make a smaller cut to 0.5 percent.

Blog Vs Website written by Larry C
Many want to know what the big differences are in our blog/network approach to a website. Here is my take on it. No worrying about SEO costs to a blog:There is SEO (Search Engine Optimization) but in our network we are thankful for the technology and the fact Google likes good content. The tecnology and our template builders were considering SEO. We don’t worry about tricks, phantom sites, and other things just to out think Google.
As the bulk of search engines value what you write, how often you write, what you tag and categorize, the content in your site just writing normal interesting topic has a long term power for the search engines. We are finding that as Issaquah Undressed has about 500 articles written over 2.75 years, almost every topic we now write about puts that topic on page one of Google. This gives us the confidence that our writing on most topics will help us be found by searchers.
Easy of adding articles:Webmasters go away. We don’t need you. It is important to write new content often and regularly. Some of our posts are inspired by a great photo. In minutes a photo and a 100 plus word article can be up in minutes. If you really have interest in blogging come join our Wednesday class @ the Small Business Blogging Academy (SBBA) were located in Lynnwood Wa, 4232 198th St SW Suite 101or you can contact me @ (206)353-804

From Washington, D.C., and from Olympia, the refrain is the increasingly same: This recession demands a job-creating stimulus package. From Edmonds, the response has been quick: If you have money, we have ways to spend it. And not on Wall Street, or in Detroit, but on “Main Street.” Literally. Sidewalks, walking trails, lighting improvements on downtown Edmonds’ Main Street and more mundane projects are all included in the city’s 11 project, $9.2 million ’stimulus package’ wish list. Two versions of the list were submitted on Dec. 3 to officials in Olympia and Washington, D.C., in hopes that somehow, someway stimulus dollars will find their way to Edmonds.
All told, the city’s projects would create a total of 116 full-time equivalent jobs, officials estimate. “We are pretty far down the food chain to be expecting much out of it, but the flip side is that the U.S. Conference of Mayors said, ‘Get your packages in,’ and so we did that,” said Mayor Gary Haakenson. “We saw the opportunity and we ran with it.” By Chris Fyall

Does blogging make you smarter? I believe it does I’ve been blogging four 4 1/2 months about the community of Edmonds Washington. And I have learned more about Edmonds in 4 1/2 months than I ever did in the last year and a half that I’ve lived in Edmonds. I might add that blogging has cause me to become more involved in community affairs, such as Edmonds Chamber of Commerce, the Ambassador’s of Edmonds, Ribbon Cuttings, Luncheons, After-Hour business functions, and many other networking opportunities. I purchased the blog name for Edmonds, (edmondsundresseded.com) this summer, I am connected to a small city of bloggers we call it neighborhoodundressed network where other bloggers like myself blog about their community and their passions in life. I guess that’s why after I got past the fact that I was not a journalist and just started taking pictures and writing it became easier and easier and very therapeutic. I now teach a intro blogging class at the Small Business Blogging Academy (SBBA) every Wednesday morning from 10:30 to 11:30AM. There we can show you the benefits of blogging and even help you set up your very own blog. SBBA also offers support services, IT classes, admin assistants, and printing services. So if your looking for a way to blog your business to the top of “ Google” email me @ tacobbin@yahoo.com and I’ll make sure that you receive an invitation to our next class. Were located in Lynnwood @ 4232 198th St Suite 101 Lynnwood Wa 98036

“ Even a happy life cannot be without a measure of darkness, and the word happy would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness. It is far better to take things as they come along with patience and equanimity.”

Shannon Rasmussen was still out of breath as she left the Westin Seattle ballroom with her mother and real-estate agent. A teacher and recent graduate, she had just placed the winning bid on a new four-bedroom house in Everett for $295,000.
“I’m very excited. It’s surreal,” Rasmussen said. For less than $300,000, she got a 1,865-square-foot house in a new development that auction organizers say was previously valued at $365,995.
About 300 people joined Rasmussen on Sunday to pick over 92 homes on the auction block, lured by news coverage and sidewalk signs covering neighborhoods where homes were being auctioned. As housing prices have fallen and sales have slowed, developers are turning to auctions to quickly sell new, non-foreclosure condos, townhouses and houses. The auction .sold 62 out of 92 homes for a total of $15.4 million and an average sales price of $248,387. Real Estate Disposition LLC, a Southern California company, organized the Seattle auction and has conducted others throughout the country.
