Pumpkins on the Brain

UPDATE: The local blog Nerd’s Eye View has a great photo collection of Fall City in the fall. Check it out. If you like autumn, it will definitely get you in the mood for chai lattes and pumpkin spice everything!

It is the thick of fall and pumpkins seem to be on everyone’s mind. Pies, cookies, patches and carving contests are a great way to create memorable weekends as the leaves turn and temperatures drop. 

If you’re on the Eastside, I recommend a visit to Fall City Farms. First of all, it’s in Fall City. How can you not drive the 25 minutes down 520/202 to a city named after the most beautiful Northwest season?  Secondly, the Fall City pumpkin patch would give Cinderella’s godmother a run for her money.  Walking through the farm is like taking a 100-year leap back in time where cattle is raised on acres of green grass, butter is churned daily and Fred, the bread maker, stops by with a fresh loaf on his way to the deli.

If you work in Seattle, living Fall City might not be for you. The commute could be painful. If daily life brings you to the greater Eastside, Fall City might be the right choice if you like space and don’t mind sharing the road with a tractor or two. Nearly 50 homes are for sale in Fall City, and all are priced under $1.5 million. I was surprised at the home prices; they are not as affordable as I imagined. Homes in the $200,000 range were real fixer-uppers. 

Overall, big lots are common and white picket fences are encouraged. If that’s up your alley, check out these Fall City homes.
