Windermere Home with Brian Bushlach

Boating is popular across the west coast, and waterfront living is a lifestyle many enjoy or aspire to. But what boat should you choose? And what mistakes to people make when they're buying their first boat, or upgrading to a new model. Brian hangs out with one of the best women's wakeboarders in the region, Joan Campbell, who is also an expert at helping people select the perfect watercraft.

Utah's "Mighty 5" National Parks attract most of the attention, and deservedly so. But in and around these spectacular bucket list stops, there are literally dozens of other stunning landscapes and must-see destinations. With 43 unique state parks to explore, Brian calls on Andrew Gillman from Utah's Tourism Office to help us navigate the state.

Known for attracting jet setters and Hollywood stars, Sun Valley, Ketchum and nearby Hailey, Idaho offer year-round activities. Famous for ski slopes and innovation in the industry, the arts scene here is also impressive. And with hiking, biking, fly fishing and golf, there's actually more people visiting in the summer. Brian welcomes Sun Valley native, Windermere's Randy Flood, to give us a tour of his hometown.

The easiest and most cost-effective home improvement project can also be the most challenging: Finding the right paint! Brian welcomes back our home design expert Jennifer Adams who offers tips to help make your next painting project an enjoyable experience.

Just over an hour east of the Portland-area, Hood River is a world away. At the midpoint of the Columbia Gorge National Scenic Area, Hood River sits at the transition from the rainy forests to the west, and high desert to the east. Adventure sports rule here, and Hood River vintners are producing award-winning wines. Brian checks in with Windermere's Kim Chamness for a market update and all things happening in Hood River.

For over 50 years, The Hutch Award has honored the Major League Baseball Player who best represents the courage and dedication of late player & manager Fred Hutchinson. His life inspired the birth of the Seattle-based cancer research center and this prestigious, national award. Oakland A's outfielder Stephen Piscotty is this year's recipient. Brian attended the awards luncheon on behalf of Windermere and connected with Dr. Niki Robinson to learn more about The Hutch, and the race for a cancer cure.

Once a vacation destination, more & more families and retirees are calling Coeur d'Alene home year-round. With stunning natural beauty, the lake, and easy access via Spokane International Airport, CDA is experiencing significant growth. Brian calls on Windermere's Jennifer Smock to share a market update. 

Nestled at the base of the towering Wasatch Range and the doorstep to five National Parks: Zion, Bryce Canyon, Capitol Reef, Canyonlands and Arches, Salt Lake City is attracting families from across the country. With an active, healthy lifestyle and convenient access to all western cities, SLC is poised for continued growth. Brian connects with Windermere's Marvin Jensen, who was born & raised here. 

With so many destinations across the Puget Sound region, and so little time to explore, Kenmore Air offers a cost-effective option. Daily non-stops to popular locales, charter options, and one-of-a-kind experiences. Brian catches Chief Pilot Chuck Perry in between flights to learn more about exploring the San Juan Islands, BC and beyond by air.

One of the most popular summer destinations in the Pacific Northwest, The San Juan Islands hold a special place in the hearts of many. Romantic getaways, family adventures, and once-in-a-lifetime memories. For some, the islands become a home away from home. Brian calls on Windermere's Gina Borges in Friday Harbor for her advice on buying vacation homes.
