New Price! Pretty Lake Tapps Waterfront Home (Video)
Interested in an affordable, waterfront house at Lake Tapps where you can just move in and enjoy the Summer?
This home is it! It has vaulted ceilings, hardwood floors, a large kitchen, decks, outdoor BBQ, and hot tub. There is even a bonus room off of the master bedroom that would make a great home office, nursery or you could use it as a 4th bedroom.
Located in the Lakeridge neighborhood, this property offers quick access to Sumner, Auburn, and the highways. The neighborhood has 3 community parks that provide a boat lauch and tennis. One of the parks is on a quiet peninsula and is directly across the cove from this home and it makes a great spot to walk or run the dog.
For those who want an option for commuting into Seattle, the Sounder Train Station is conveniently located in Sumner.

Legendary Doughnuts Opens at Lake Tapps
The most amazing doughnut shop just opened at Lake Tapps. Actually it is at Lakeland Hills in South Auburn but at the county line for sure! 
The shop is called Legendary Donuts and their motto says, “we have taken doughnuts to the next level” and it is true. I have never seen such beautiful and creative doughnuts.
All of the doughnuts have special names. To name a few, the Lucille Ball is vanilla cake with orange cream cheese frosting sprinkled with white chocolate curls. The King Kong is glazed banana nut cake and the Oprah is a big maple bar with bacon!
Their address is 1410 Lake Tapps Pkwy E., Auburn, WA 98092. That is the same shopping center as Top Foods and The Rock pizza.

The Twenty on the Twentieth Report – July 2009
It has been a great summer to live on Lake Tapps. There have been a lot of interesting things to watch from my deck including 4th of July parties, kids learning to wakeboard, a custom pirate pontoon float, fire fighting helicopters, and a wedding where the groom and groomsmen arrived by boat. My binoculars have come in very handy!
Back to real estate business. We did not have as many waterfront solds as last month but last month must have been a record of some sort. We did have 5 which, I think, is still very good.
