<div>Hey fellow Columbia residents,</div>
<div> Are any of you interested in having some sort of low-key meet and greet? Whether it's just a few of us going for tea, or a bunch of us having a potluck, I think it would be awesome for us to connect (or reconnect) and get excited about transitioning in our wonderful ol' neighborhood. Let me know if you're up for it!</div>

<p>Hi Whatcome Transitioners!</p>
<p>We are a family of four, with two little girls (2 yo and 1 mo) and are currently in Spokane. We are heading to resettle in the "better half" of the state ;) very soon and are looking for a wonderful place to live. We would love to be in a cohousing/ ecovillage-type set-up, or just a great older single-family home in a very "transition" neighborhood. Do you know of anyone looking to rent their place? Are you looking to rent or maybe have a room? We are open,…</p>
<p>Hi Whatcome Transitioners!</p>
<p>We are a family of four, with two little girls (2 yo and 1 mo) and are currently in Spokane. We are heading to resettle in the "better half" of the state ;) very soon and are looking for a wonderful place to live. We would love to be in a cohousing/ ecovillage-type set-up, or just a great older single-family home in a very "transition" neighborhood. Do you know of anyone looking to rent their place? Are you looking to rent or maybe have a room? We are open, as well, to sharing a larger house with the right folks. </p>
<p>A little about us: Bryan is a brewer (now, at Boundary Bay), teacher, permaculture designer, plant-person; Clare is a at-home mama, yoga teacher, doula, extraordinaire; Edie (2) is so much fun to be around and has a bright, funny, cuddly personality; and Althaea (1 mo) is squeaky, wide-eyed, and loves to nurse. </p>
<p>We would like to be w/in 5 miles of downtown, pay less than $1100/ mo, be somewhere scenic, with trees/ parks/ good market(s) around, and be able to garden or even install permaculture designs on the property. We are open to trade and other creative arrangements.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Thank you for helping us to offer our best in the amazing Bellingham area! It has been our dream for a while to settle here. Please let us know if you have any 'leads'.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Blessings,</p>
<p>Bryan, Clare, Edie, and Althaea</p>

<p><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;" class="font-size-3"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">We will send out information on preparedness and work to have some assessments of neighbor's needs (for example if someone is not mobile and would need help, or if someone is at work when a disaster hits and cannot get home to turn off gas, etc.)</span></span></p>
