Summer Library Challenge 2025

Lake Oswego has the most wonderful library with lots of great programs. One of those is the summer challenge for kids. It includes:

Start out by registering for the challenge at www.lopl.org/summer. When you register, you will receive a free book.

Read all summer long and receive raffle tickets for the grand prize, which will be given out at the end of summer. Participate in a scavenger hunt with ten different locations throughout the city.

Attend one of the events at Rossman Park. (555 4th St) Wednesdays (June 18 & 25, July 2,9,16, 23, and 30, and August 6th) 2pm. Activities include live music, crafts, Japanese drumming and more.

Visit the children’s library in July and receive a free roller-skating rental at Oaks Park.

Visit the children’s library in August for a free Blazer’s game ticket.

There is even a program for adults. Read books, attend events, and complete challenges to earn points. Every 60 points earned means another entry into a drawing for weekly prizes as well as gift baskets that will be given out at the end of summer.

For more information, click here.

As I said, we have a wonderful library!

Featured Property: 17020 Tracy Ave

I am please to introduce you to my new listing on Tracy Ave. Located in the Lake Forest Neighborhood of Lake Oswego, this house is a tremendous value.

With 4 bedrooms and 2 full baths, the home is suitable for family living and entertaining. It has 1796 square feet, 2 fireplaces, and both a living room and a family room. The asking price is $619,000.

Built in 1959, it has hardwood floors and has been well cared for. It does need cosmetic updating, but it is otherwise in very good condition.

Probably the best feature is that it has a Lake Oswego address, and is in the attendance area for Lake Oswego Schools, but it is actually located in unincorporated Clackamas County. This is the reason that it has lower taxes of just $4516 per year.

If you would like more information, or it you’d like to make an appointment to see this house, please call me at 503-803-6298.

Mental Health and Suicide Prevention Forum

On May 22nd, the City, in partnership with Clackamas County, will be hosting a Mental Health and Suicide Prevention Forum. Occurring from 5:30 to 7:30pm, the event is free.

At this forum, presenters Clackamas County Health Officer Sarah Present, and Suicide Prevention Coordinator Galli Murray, will discuss the importance of mental health awareness, who is at risk for suicide, trends we are seeing nationally and regionally, and how we can support someone who is struggling.

Three other events will be happening:

Hands-on Narcan training. Learn how to recognize the signs of an overdose and how to safely administer Narcan.

Holding an drug take-back event to allow people to safely dispose of unwanted and expired prescriptions. They are taking back veterinary and over-the-counter medications as well.

Safe disposal of syringes and EpiPens.

Giving away handgun lockboxes and medication lockboxes with cable locks, while supplies last.

Informational booths will be on hand from 14 different mental health related services including the Clackamas County Crisis and Support Line and the Lake Oswego School District.

Mental health affects all of us. This will be 2 hours well spent. The location of the event is Lake Oswego City Hall, 380 A Avenue.

The Buying/Selling Season

Real estate is bought and sold year round, but it does have a rhythm. Here in Oregon, the peak months to buy and to sell are May and June. This has a lot to do with the school year. People simply prefer to be settled in after a move with plenty of time before school starts. I think it also has to do with how great landscaping looks in May and in June. Our gardens are in their fully glory with lilacs, rhododendrons, and the new starts of annuals and raised beds.

This is certainly born out by looking at the increase in new listings in the last few weeks. We had 29 new listings last week! In December and January that number dwindles to 4 or 5.

The other factor that comes into play is the weather. As we come out of winter, approaching the end of the school year, and things warm up, people are excited and motivated for making a change. Then the summer heat sets in and people are trying to cool off by finding a river or a beach and going on vacation.

The market remains strong though the summer and the early fall. It cools off at Halloween. Houses are still bought and sold, but just in smaller numbers. November, December, and January things are pretty quiet: all in anticipation of spring.

If you are thinking about buying or selling, please reach out to either Linda or myself. We would love to help you.
