Lifetime of mortgage payments afforded a home here

Able to buy a home here after a 3 decade career and homeownership in Tacoma. The larger Tacoma home with views of the Narrows, Douglas Firs, an apple orchard and Madrone turned into a far smaller, simple home here in Bellingham, due to Bellingham’s high housing costs. Glad to be here, close to downtown, family, Greenways and creek.
