Everything!, Long Beach Peninsula, Real Estate | Posted by Cheri Diehl

I don’t even feel like it’s summer and yet it’s moving along so quickly!  Maybe it’s because we’re just so darned busy in the “summer” months.  Not just with real estate, but with all the fun things to do.  Read through this partial list and then check out the featured real estate listings for this post.  We have something for everyone and Discovery Coast Real Estate is ready to help you find your beach property before the summer is over!

Salmon Fishing starts July 1 – visit the Port of Ilwaco for more info on fishing and special events held there.  Saturday Market is going on all summer long.  The next Art Walk will be July 8 – you won’t want to miss that!

And while we’re talking about Ilwaco, be sure to “Feel the Thunder” on Saturday, July 3.

The 4th itself is filled with activities – Ocean Park hosts their “Old Fashioned 4th of July” with a parade (watch for me on the Rotary “float”) and the first annual Art in the Park (I’ll be there too with the Clatsop Weavers & Spinners Guild).

Long Beach’s popular Summerfest continues and Fireworks start at dusk.

June already.  Seems like winter will never end and then time just zips along and we find ourselves in summer.  Although the weather is no indication, vacation season is here.  There is so much going on at the beach that I can’t put it all here.  But Funbeach sure can.  Be sure to visit our great visitor’s bureau site for information on the festivities!

We managed to get another grandson graduated.  Chris Rogers graduated from Stevenson High School with High Honors on June 6!  Way to go, Chris.  Chris has been accepted to Linfield College and received a number of scholarships.

So Much To Do!

Everything!, Real Estate | Posted by Cheri Diehl


Well, the “season” really starts this weekend!  So many fun things to do, see, enjoy at the beach.

Here’s a start:

Ilwaco, WA-Saturday Market at the Port of Ilwaco kicks off the 2009 season one week early on April 25 to celebrate the Tall Ships in Port, the Lady Washington and Hawaiian Chieftain.

Market vendors will highlight modern day equivalents of the items traded between the Chinook Tribe and American and European fur traders during the late 1700s and 1800s-beads, blue cloth and smoked salmon. Crow Creek Designs specializes in exquisite hand turned wooden beads and pendant jewelry. Multi-colored glass beads are featured in the attractive jewelry designs of Treasures by Val’s. Fashionable blue cloth T-shirts and denim shirts imprinted or embroidered with sea inspired designs are created by Blue Crab Graphics and Coastal Creations. Smoked salmon is the key ingredient to the savory chowder offered by Dan and Tina Delay of Smoked Salmon Chowder. For the rakish at heart, treasure chests and wooden pirates swords can be discovered at Grandma’s & Grandpa’s Crafts.

Shop for handmade arts, crafts and plants. Picnic on delicious seafood, American and ethnic fare, kettle corn, hot donuts and more. Stroll along the marina and watch the people, boats and dogs parade by. Saturday Market at the Port is open every Saturday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. between April 25 and September 26, 2009. For Saturday highlights and more information, see www.portofilwaco.org/saturdaymarket.html or call (360) 783-1143.
