"The upscale Olympus neighborhood in Newcastle lives up to the grandeur its name implies, with sweeping views of the Olympic Mountains, Lake Washington and Mount Rainier, along with well-kept yards and homes," writes Jolene Gensheimer in a special to The Seattle Times Real Estate section on Sunday, October 14th, 2007.The Olympus community was established in 1987, when construction of the development began. The development was built during the mid 90's and boasts 267 homes. Olympus is served by two school districts: Issaquah and Renton. The neighborhood benefits from an active homeowner's association that meets on a monthly basis. The association hosts many events that contribute to the sense of intamicy shared by the residents. "Instead of being just a neighborhood of houses, it is a co...

The City Council is the legislative branch of Newcastle city government and is the chief policy-making body. The role of the City Council is to establish policies and to enact ordinances and resolutions that are deemed to be in the best interest of the City.Four of the seven Newcastle City Council seats are up for grabs which is obvious in the streets of Newcastle where campaign signs can be found on every corner. These signs give us an idea of the names we can expect to see on the ballot but do little in the way of helping us understand who is running against who and where each candidate stands on the issues.To address this problem, the Newcastle Chamber of Commerce hosted a candidate's forum on September 20th. The Newcastle Candidates Forum was hosted by the Newcastle Golf & Country C...

Having lived in Newcastle for many years, I thought I'd list a few of my favorite places in the area. If you're new to the area, I encourage you to check them out.Newcastle Fruit Stand: At the corner of Coal Creek Parkway and Newcastle Way, there's a seasonal fruit stand that sells all kinds of fresh fruit and vegetables. They also sell lots of different plants and trees for landscaping. In the winter they sell Christmas trees. You pay a little bit more, but it's so much nicer than buying your fruit at the grocery store.Tapatio: A great mexican restaurant. The people are nice, the food is good, and it's conveniently located in the strip mall along Coal Creek ParkwayLake Boren Park: Sitting on small but pretty Lake Boren, this park has a nice playground for kids to play, lots of wide ope...
