Stemma Brewing Expands to New Location!: Stemma Brewing is expanding its operations into the former Twin Sisters Brewing Company location in Bellingham. The Stemma team plans to remodel the space in phases over the span of 2025, bringing more craft beer options to our community. I wrote about this here (and kind of proud I broke this story nearly a week before the official announcement!) Now it is official per their socials.

Property of the Week: The Marble Palace You’ll Drool Over (It’s always fun to browse….)

Ever wondered what it’s like to live in a $3.75M mansion? Well, there is 627 Linden Road, where every surface gleams with so much marble my friends might think they’re using the toilet in an Italian quarry when they come to visit me.

This 6-bed, 4-bath, 4,290 sq. ft. masterpiece has all the bells and whistles: a pool for summer cannonballs, a hot tub pavilion and outdoor sauna for rainy January days, and a 3-car garage that could fit either your luxury fleet or six decked-out golf carts.

Sure, most of us can’t swing this price tag, but hey—it’s free to dream. Check it out here and let the marble envy begin!
