THE VERY FIRST EVER GREENDRINKS IN SNOHOMISH COUNTY!!!
 
Let's raise a toast to the planet while we figure out ways not to toast the planet.
 
Never heard of Greendrinks?  It began in Europe and now sustainability people in over 342 cities all over the globe meet monthly for libations.  It is a lively mixture of people from non-profits, academia, government and business and is a great way of catching up with folks you know and for making new contacts.  Greendrinks is simple, unstructured and rather organic.  People have found jobs, developed new ideas, done deals and had epiphanies at Greendrinks.  Check out all the ways to have Greendrinks at www.greendrinks.org.
 
Greening Properties www.greeningproperties.com, is hosting the debut for Snohomish County at their downtown Everett office - 2817 Rucker Avenue.  Greening Properties is a small, locally owned independent real estate company that is committed to building communities that honor the past, protect the future and support healthy living for the present.
 
Historic Everett www.HistoricEverett.org is our featured non-profit.  Historic Preservation and sustainability are natural partners ­ it has been said that the greenest building is one that already exists.
 
To make the first Greendrinks a very special event, the extremely talented local artist, Mary Coss will be showing some of her latest work.  Visit www.marycoss.com to see how art builds community.
 
If you've got questions, call Valerie or Mary at 425-252-7601.  This is going to be over the top, so bring a friend.

Guiding Principles

Greening Properties is a full service real estate brokerage committed to changing the way we build our communities by promoting and fulfilling consumer demand for informed sustainable development.

In addition to marketing and selling traditional properties, we provide the bridge between green sellers and knowledgeable buyers and assist people interested in acquiring and restoring historic properties. We believe use of green building practices including low impact development, use of sustainable materials, creation and retention of healthy communities and respect for the past through historic preservation can positively effect growth in our region and beyond Puget Sound.

Sustainability is a process involving incremental changes we can all make towards meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. We realize that we don't know all there is to learn so it is through education, teaching through action and bold experimentation that we will be able to preserve the best for future use.

At Greening Properties, we believe integrity, knowledge, communication, and creativity are crucial elements in seeking the solutions to the challenges that face our society. We hold ourselves accountable to these goals in our personal lives and in all encounters with our clients, other agents, our partners and the natural environment.
