Local knowledge

Things you learn by living here.

  • The Holiday Farm Fire in September 2020 burned a large portion of this corridor. Rebuilding has been ongoing, and it shapes both what is available and what insurance looks like.
  • EWEB voted in 2023 to permanently decommission the Leaburg hydroelectric project. The plan is to remove Leaburg Dam and return the lake to river. Some properties currently reach the far bank by crossing the top of that dam, so access is a question worth asking directly on any purchase near it.
