We love to help people find the perfect place to nest. For many souls in the Pacific NW, a neighborhood needs to be walkable to truly feel like home. One fun way to discover the most walkable communities is by hoofing it all over town! For those of us that aren't made of time, walkscore is a great way to explore the walkability of your hood (remember how much more exercise we got before the information superhighway?). You can also check out cities you are contemplating living in or visiting. For kicks, we checked out three of our home addresses...we are proud to announce that one of our very own teammates lives in a 100 out of 100 "walker's paradise" here in PDX. As you may have guessed, it is a downtown address. If you are unhappy with the lack of pedestrian-friendly thoroughfares in your little corner of the world, you can always help foster change. For those of us in or near Portland, the Willamette Pedestrian Coalition is a wonderful and effective way to get involved. If you have been enjoying the new bike lanes and crosswalks on N. Rosa Parks near Peninsula Park, you can stop by to thank Erin as she contributed to the RFP with some telling photos!
