Washington: Governor Gregoire's State of the State

Gov%20Gregorie.jpgYesterday, Washington's governor Christine Gregoire gave her beginning of the year State-of-the-State Speech to a joint session of the Washington State Legislature.


The economic news in Washington is very good.  Exports are up substantially, Unemployment is down, and employment opportunities have increased considerably. 


If the news for Washington is good, the economic outlook for Wenatchee is among the strongest in the state.  We continue to have a strong and diverse economy, fueling further demand for housing from people wanting to move here to work, retire, or for week-end play.  


Housing prices have stabilized some over the winter and I anticipate appreciation will slow from the frenzy of 25% per year during last two years.  I still expect home values to increase, not decline, unlike other parts of the country. 


Life in Wenatchee is good!
