We are the Griffith Team from Windermere Walla Walla…and we love Walla Walla!

Some of the great things, in our opinion, include the opportunity of home ownership for a broad base of home buyers, the education systems, the wine industry and what that has brought to the valley, the dining options, and more.

When I visit with buyers from out of the area I talk about what I love about the area.  This is a great place to live and raise a family.  We are near the mountains, we have great events throughout the year, we have culturally interesting things happening from theater to dance to rodeos to cycling to wine tasting to….almost anything you want.  And the beauty of it is…you hardly ever have to wait in a long line at the bank or the grocery.  You can easily go to a 6 pm dinner and be at the theater by 8.  You can leave home 15 minutes before you need to be somewhere and be on time.  These things to me mean less stress in your day-to-day routines.  More time to spend doing what’s important to you.  That’s the beauty of living in Walla Walla.  So, do you miss all what a large metro area has to offer?  Not really, because we are not that far from it.  In a matter of 4 hours we can get out fix of city life and then escape!    We love Walla Walla!

About some of my favorite dining spots…If you want to have a great lunch or a light meal try Graze…it’s a small establishment that offers a great menu of sandwiches and salads.  A favorite is the Green Leaf roasted pear salad, the Caesar salad and the Pastrami sandwich. They make great Panini’s and the daily soups are fabulous.  Located a 5 S Colville, you can dine in or call in an order to go.  We sometimes head down there for a supper as well.  They are great people and another thing we love about them is they “give back” … They give a certain amount of  sales during a specific period of time to the Ronald McDonald House in Spokane because that provided them comfortable housing at a point in their lives.  How cool is that?  They make a difference!  Give them a try…you will be pleased with your food!

Just another great thing about Walla Walla!
