Fit For a Cause, Lost Weight in Puyallup

This: direct from Kieran Murry at “Kieranslist.com”

Karie Franks, of Spanaway, was crowned the winner of the first Fit for a Cause, after completing a training and education routine at Callaway Fitness. Franks lost 47.2 lbs. while competing for the last 12 weeks with 29 other contestants from across Pierce County. For her achievement, Franks won a 12 month membership to Callaway Fitness, the right to compete in FIT FOR A CAUSE II free of charge and $1500.00 for her charity, Experience Church Missions Group.

Fit For a Cause was co-founded by local business owners, Kieran Murry of Kieranslist.com and Mike Petrovic, owner of Callaway Fitness. 30 contestants were divided into three teams and battle for 12 weeks for bragging rights as individual and team winners. By the end of 12 weeks our contestants lost a grand total of 793 lbs.

Kieranslist and Callaway Fitness are now preparing to launch FFC2 on August 14th.  Auditions for contestants will be held at Callaway Fitness on July 16th from 4PM to 9PM.

Murry stated, ” our goal for FFC2 is to lose even more weight while raising over $50,000 for charitable organizations.”

I have some more pictures of art to share you. I know sometimes it’s tough to wander downtown Puyallup, just to look at art. We all get busy and our lives get in the way. For those of you who have no time……I offer some art photos that I have not shown you yet.

Enjoy!!!

Shaw Road Extention in Puyallup

The Shaw Road shortcut to East Main is coming along nicely. For a lot of us, it will be none too soon. When I say…I am looking forward to it…you know what I mean!! 

I have some new pictures of the construction going on. The work is progressing. You can see that they are making headway.

This was taken from the Pioneer Side of the Shortcut to East Main, Downtown Puyallup.

Ezra Meeker, from Puyallup? or is Puyallup from Ezra??

I have some more pictures from Puyallup and of the story about Ezra Meeker. He came to this area in the early 1900’s looking for some land to farm. Who knew that Real Estate would become this important to us all?

This might be what Mt. Rainier looked like when Ezra Meeker arrived in Puyallup.

Do you think, in Ezra’s wildest dreams, he could have imagined this view?

It is common to name schools after UNcommon men, such as Ezra Meeker.

Wow! Even a street named after the man, Ezra Meeker. Someone thought this man important enough to have his name all over town.

I have more….but, I will save some for later. This farmer, Ezra Meeker made a pretty wide swath in our end of the Valley.

I am happy and proud to live where he walked, toiled, farmed, lived and grew his crops and children…..Puyallup.

Thank you all for listening, Dennis Endres.

If anyone has something to share about this subject, please send it in!

Recession? What Recession???

I know a lot of people are talking about a Recession. I was just at an Economic Forecast for 2008, put on by Frontier Bank.

The facts are, for our area of the Pacific Northwest, we are doing just fine.

People have been and are still flocking to Washington. We have the aerospace booming. Manufacturing employment is rising. Software publishing is high. The population here is growing faster than the National average. Payroll employment in the State of Washington is at an all time high.

I know what you are thinking…. Dennis, we still cannot sell our home in Puyallup for what we need to buy a new one.  That may be true.  I have been telling you all along….Real Estate is my business. Keep your home as a rental  and buy another one. Keep both for a couple years and sell one home then!!

Below I have some pictures of Commercial buildings going up everywhere….So, how bad can the economy be?? Does somebody know something we don’t??

Maybe…..Take a look at these buildings going up!

Ezra Meeker in Puyallup

Ezra Meeker was one of the first settlers in our area. He is remembered as a founder and started the city, from a farm along the river.

I have taken a few pictures from around town to remind us.  To this day, a lot of us Puyallup residents, take his name for granted.

As you can see, we have his name all around our fair city:

We see his statue in Pioneer Park.

We have a building with his name, housing a Real Estate Company.                                  Keller Williams and the office of Dennis Endres.

This is the Meeker’s home, now restored and open to public viewing.

This Historic site in downtown Puyallup, drop in, it opens next month.

Who is this out in Ezra’s front yard? Getting ready to work the fields??

I have more pictures to show you……

So, keep tuned in and I’ll share some more of our heritage!!!

Indulge Cupcakes of Puyallup, now in The News Tribune

Like my good friend, Larry, says…..Yummy!!

I just talked to Jen at Indulge Cupcakes, downtown Puyallup. She says that after the article came out in The News Tribune, it’s been a little nuts at her Cupcake store on N. Meridian. So, my point is, if you want some cupcakes…..you better get down to Indulge Cupcakes early, or you might end with just the crumbs.

I have already told a bunch of my Realtor friends, and they love this place too!
