2024 | Week 35

52 Hikes | 52 Homes

“There is no elevator to success. You have to take the stairs.”


This is WEEK at a GLANCE - 52 weeks of my PNW adventures!


Join me as I journey through life on a mission to make a difference, one step at a time, one week at a time. How was your week? Here's a glance at mine...

Hikes.

Did you know that just behind the Suncadia Lodge, you'll find the '1,000 Steps hike,' which is a scenic descent to the Cle Elum River! This unique path is equivalent to 21 flights of stairs and each landing features paw prints and fascinating facts about the animals - both real and mythical - that you might encounter along the way. Although we didn't see any wildlife this time, me and my friends had a great time on our beautiful Suncadia adventure!

Homes.

Have you been thinking about buying an investment property? If so, here are the top 5 reasons why Cle Elum is the perfect place to invest right now!


  1. Booming Real Estate Market: Cle Elum is experiencing steady growth, with property values increasing due to high demand from homebuyers seeking a scenic retreat close to major cities. This creates great potential for appreciation!
  2. Prime Location: Nestled in the Cascade Mountains, Cle Elum offers the perfect balance of serene mountain living and accessibility to urban amenities. Just 90 minutes from Seattle, it's an attractive spot for a rental or a weekend getaway.
  3. Outdoor Recreation Haven: Known for its year-round outdoor activities, Cle Elum is very appealing to nature lovers, offering hiking, fishing, skiing, and more. Investment properties in this area can generate strong income from short-term rentals catering to tourists and adventurers.
  4. Community Growth: The town has experienced recent growth in new businesses, homes, restaurants, and experiences, fostering a vibrant community that enhances both full-time lifestyle and investment potential.
  5. Limited Supply, High Demand: As more people seek refuge from the hustle and bustle of city life, Cle Elum’s limited housing supply creates high demand, making this a smart time to secure a property before prices rise even further.
