So whether you're thinking of living by the water in Anacortes, La Conner or the San Juan Islands, on acreage in Burlington or a rambler in Mount Vernon I will find you that perfect home. Skagit county has many beautiful areas to fit your lifestyle and I will be happy to show you them all.

GAT EWAY I came to Anacortes to visit my sister. When I stepped off the plane, I knew I was home. That was over 28 years ago. Two years later I met my husband and we have been loving life in this beautiful town. As a professional, you'll discover that I'm a skilled negotiator, competitive, honest, goal-oriented and driven to succeed. On a personal level, you'll find me down to earth and friendly. I have been a broker since 1995, bringing together buyers, sellers and properties. It is my form of matchmaking! I thoroughly enjoy making the process of selling or purchasing a home simple and enjoyable. If we work together, we become a team and if you are happy when you unlock the door of your new home or transfer the keys to a new owner, I know I've done my job well. Let's work together to make your dream a reality. -Karen (Stock) Petersen

I love being involved in my community by serving on the local Realtor Association (NPSAR) Board of Directors and Co'Chair the Operations Committee or whether it be through the Anacortes, Mount Vernon and Sedro Woolley Chambers of Commerce, the SICBA (Skagit/Island Counties Builders Association), or finding a new neighbor a home, my passion lies locally.

We purchased our Anacortes home through Kelli from across the country. From our first call with her, she was confident and knowledgeable. When our home hit the market, we let her know that we were interested and, within a few hours, we were sent a video walk through of the home and submitted a written offer. We closed the following month. Kelli and her team were quick to get back to us when we had questions. We could not have pulled this off without them. We would use Kelli again for sure! -blpianetta Kelli was the first person I was able to reach at the beginning of this process and while we never met in person due to specific circumstances, she handled my sale with the utmost professionalism and took care of everything. She made this the easiest process and it felt like she truly cared about making it simple. Highly recommend using her services, I know if I’m ever in the area again, I’ll go back to her. -muhmmy Kelli and team are hands down the BEST out there. They were detailed and professional from minute one and delivered exactly what was promised. If you are in the market to buy or sell I highly recommend their service! -mschwabe She is the best in the area, friendly, aggressive for client interests, responsive to communications, questions, issues, and helpful like a neighbor when needed. Her whole team of support work seamlessly to provide a very confident and comfortable sales through closing experience for us. My friend recommended her for our transaction and I will do the same to anyone who would ask. Kelli is top line in my opinion. -halm

Accredited Buyer's Agent Relocation Specialist Military Relocation Specialist Certified Residential Specialist
Why choose me as your Relocation Specialist? Over the past 25 years, I have moved ten times, which makes me somewhat of an expert on the subject. My husband and I moved to Anacortes twelve years ago from Jacksonville, Florida and we fell in love with the town. We are both from Montana originally and wanted to get back in the Northwest. My husband retired from the Navy and we decided to build a house and plant our roots here. Since we have three school age children, the excellent reputation of the Anacortes School District is one of the main reasons that brought us to Anacortes. Our family has thoroughly enjoyed exploring Fidalgo Island and all it has to offer. We love hiking and mountain biking in the endless Anacortes Forest Land trail system, camping at Washington Park, and playing on the beach at Bowman Bay. There are many other things to do in Anacortes…. kayaking, boating, fishing, golfing, and sightseeing. Once you have decided the area where you want to live, the process of buying a home begins. As an experienced exclusive buyer’s agent specializing in Skagit, Whatcom, and Island counties, I have been selling properties since 2004.
My philosophy for working with buyers is simple: Buyers want an easy, no hassle way of finding the home they want, in an area in which they won’t regret buying, for a price they won’t regret paying. They want a Realtor whom they will be comfortable referring to their family and friends, and whom they will call for all their future real estate needs. These are all things I provide. My customers become my friends. I am a professional listener. I do not convince you of what you do not want. I am fair, ethical, and very detail-oriented. My goal is to find you the best home available to meet your needs and desires whether it is located in Skagit, Whatcom, or Island County. Whether you are an experienced investor or a first time buyer, I can help you in finding the property of your dreams. www.MichelleFoggin.com

Dig into Gardening Trends: Tips to get started (BPT) - Just like fashion, trends in gardening come and go ... and sometimes come back again. Some shifts in gardening were inspired by necessity, like the “victory gardens” of WWII for growing food during years of rationing. Others reflected societal changes, like the green lawns of the 1950s and 1960s, when families spent more time playing and entertaining in their yards than ever before. If you look further into the past, to the 1920s, you see a trend that’s on the rise again - a yearning for going back to nature, celebrating a lush, green and bird-friendly environment. Those gardens overflowed with all sorts of greenery, fishponds, birdbaths and bird feeders. Today’s interest in sustainable gardens offering a home for pollinators is not too different from the desire for bird watching and natural gardening of 100 years ago.
GROW TO EAT More than half (57%) of those age 35 and under said they’re using their green space to grow their own food. That interest was echoed by respondents over 35, with 65% of them saying they planned to turn at least part of their future gardens into more of a food source. Many expressed interest in growing their own herbs in their kitchens, with over 65% of those 35 and under sharing plans to grow herbs indoors in the future. New to growing veggies, fruits or herbs? Consider starting seeds in your kitchen or creating a small raised garden bed outdoors. Research what grows best in your region and the most ideal time for planting. Start small, with just one or two types of plants, so you don’t feel overwhelmed. And grow something you know you’ll love to eat!
A new survey by the National Garden Bureau (NGB), which is celebrating its 100th anniversary, found fascinating trends among today’s gardeners, both expert and novice, which may inspire ideas for your own gardens. MIXED USE GARDENS Gardens past and present have served multiple purposes, and gardening with a variety of plants allows you to enjoy your space and take in the outdoors to your liking. Over 67% of respondents 35 and under shared that while they want some green lawn, they also want the rest of their yard to be planted with trees, shrubs, flowers, fruits, herbs and vegetables. What does that mean for gardens of the future?
10201.42.5 Editorial_Gardens.indd 1
They’ll likely offer more variety, from the ornamental to the edible. And over 60% of gardeners of all ages want to grow pollinator-friendly plants and flowers. Look at your own yard and decide how much of it you want to dedicate to your garden and containers, or perhaps what other types of plants you could grow instead. Consider consulting a professional in your area as a resource for advice on a strategy for your space.
4/25/2020 2:36:57 PM
VICTORY GARDEN 2.0 When the Victory Garden Manual was first written in 1943, reasons to grow your own vegetables were obvious; it was wartime and food was scarce. Statistics say that in 1943, nearly 40% of all fruits and vegetables grown in the U.S. were grown in home and community victory gardens. As NGB celebrates its 100th anniversary, it seems timely to reintroduce the concept of victory gardening with quick and easy steps to plan and grow your own vegetable garden. Before digging in, it may be helpful to create a list of vegetables that your family enjoys. From there, plan your garden space and determine if you’ll be planting in the ground, raised beds, containers or a combination. Don’t forget to add pollinator-friendly flowers to ensure vegetables are properly pollinated, and you’ll have a great start on the modern victory garden. GARDENERS OF THE FUTURE It may seem as though younger people are somewhat less likely to be active gardeners, as 11% of the survey respondents under 35 said they’ve never gotten their hands dirty - as compared with only 4% of those over the age of
35. Commonly, lack of time and space are their two biggest hurdles to gardening. But many younger gardener wannabes hope to graduate from growing houseplants and succulents indoors to becoming gardeners in the future: 53% said they hoped to grow houseplants, with 58% planning to graduate to growing flowers, and over 65% planning to grow fruits and vegetables in the future. If you’re thinking of taking the gardening plunge for the first time, or expanding your gardening efforts, talk to family and neighbors who have successful gardens for their advice. GROWING INSPIRATION The internet can be a great source of inspiration for future gardeners. While gardeners over 35 look to magazines, books and garden retailers for ideas, those under 35 largely browse Pinterest, Instagram and YouTube for information and tips about developing their green thumbs. However, both groups talk to friends and family for ideas and inspiration about what, and how, to grow. For more information, tips, blogs and lots of inspiring gardening ideas, visit ngb.org. Page 19

3 Ways a Deck
Can Make Staying Home More Enjoyable #1 Fewer screens, More fun When kids are out of school, screen time usually goes up. Whether it’s TV, computers, video games, phones or tablets, screen time is usually a sedentary activity. A deck can provide an alternative outdoor play space where kids can be active and stretch their imaginations, enjoy the outdoors and do things like bring their favorite toys like building blocks, action figures or doll houses outdoors. Worried about splinters hurting those little toes and fingers? Composite decking is a beautiful option that makes sanding, staining, sealing and splinters a thing of the past. While composite decking has historically had a higher price tag than traditional wood, boards like Envision Ridge Premium deliver the exotic hardwood beauty and low maintenance of composites at a budget-friendly price.
(BPT) - With so many people across the country staying put in their homes right now, a fun and functional outdoor space is more important than ever. Amusement parks and concerts are closed or canceled and spring is around the corner, beckoning families outdoors. Millions of people are working remotely and looking for a more natural option for their home offices. A well-thought-out deck could be the answer to making a staycation, whether forced or planned, more enjoyable.
Here are three ways a deck can improve the at-home experience. 10201.42.5 Editorial_Deck.indd 1
4/25/2020 2:38:12 PM
#2 Home Office with a Side of Vitamin D Millions of Americans have moved to work-from-home situations recently and are looking for a way to get out of their stuffy home offices in favor of a workspace with natural lighting and a great breeze. Soaking up a safe amount of sun every day can reap big benefits for your health, according to physicians and the World Health Organization (WHO), including elevating mood, improving sleep, promoting bone growth and strengthening the immune system. With the right patio furniture, a deck can make a great option for an outdoor workspace to soak up the benefits of the sun’s rays. Choose a table of the appropriate height and a comfortable chair for extended work sessions, or a cushioned chaise lounge for shorter periods. Adding a screen or pergola to a deck can provide some protection from the wind (fewer important work papers blowing around).
#3 Family Time All Year Long If there’s an upside to the increase in people staying home, it’s the ability to connect with the other people living in your home. Life can get so busy with work, friends and other commitments that it’s difficult to find time to connect or have a family game night. A deck is a great place to gather the members of your household for a laid-back evening of stargazing or a rowdy game night. And those family connections don’t have to end due to summer’s heat or fall’s chill. By adding an outdoor heater, firepit or fans, you can extend your deck’s use as a family space to the majority of the year.
As you can see, a deck is a great way to expand the living space of your home and to provide an alternative space for all members of the family to enjoy. Page 21
