Get Organized Downtown

If spring is for cleaning, fall is for organizing. There’s a chill in the air that makes you want to hunker down with an oversized sweater and something charming playing in the background (a record from Musicology, perhaps? Or maybe some HGTV? Gilmore Girls? Golf? Is golf charming? You know your soothing shows better than we do). 

And, as you look around your cozy nest—which is suddenly a lot quieter and perhaps a little cleaner than it was all summer—you notice papers to file, things that don’t have a designated place to be and a general sense of “let’s get to business.” 

In this article, we’re giving you resources to not only organize your home but also to organize your money and your affairs. Keep reading for a fun bonus at the end that will make even the potentially overwhelming work of organizing all three of those categories feel a whole lot lighter. 

Isn’t it cool that anything you want to arrange, declutter, or put in order, you can accomplish right Downtown Edmonds? 

Organize Your Home

Fall feels like a fresh start, especially for parents of school-age kids. You have your house back! No better time now to get a professional over to help you declutter, organize, and add some thoughtful details. Not sure where to start? Begin with a conversation with Interiors of Edmonds or KSD Home. And if your focus is specifically on your kitchen, head to The Wooden Spoon for gadgets and gizmos that will ensure you have the most organized kitchen on the block. 

All that’s left to do is to light a festive candle, look around, and admire your beautiful space. 

Organize Your Money

There are ways to organize your life that people can see (e.g. your house) and then there are foundational ways to organize your life that matter just as much, like putting your money in the proper places. After all, how can you pay for your organized house if you don’t have your money right? 

So, who to call? To help with taxes, get in touch with Bailey CPA LLC or The Hagen Firm. To sit with you to look at the whole picture, talk to a financial advisor like Harbour Investment Management LLC or TFS Advisors.  

Organize Your Affairs

It’s never too early to think about preparing for the future, and that includes putting together a will, learning about trusts, and ensuring your affairs are ready for anything. Edmonds Wills & Trust offers complete estate planning services. Jordan Law Firm helps you create a will, trust, power of attorney, and health care directives. They even offer free wills workshops to jump-start your planning process. In parallel, Sound Estate Planning supports individuals, families, and small business owners with personalized estate planning solutions. 

Pro Tip: Organize Some Dates!

We’ve given you lots of tips that will clear physical and mental clutter, and we want to remind you to add some space in your life for soul food. We’re talking about the kind of soul food you get when you laugh with people you love. Have those money meetings and organize that pantry and then head to one of our many wonderful places Downtown Edmonds to eat and drink and enjoy the company of a kindred spirit (or two or three). 

Fall is the best season in the Pacific Northwest for get-togethers because you have so many options for things to do and places to be. Plus, the weather is mostly predictable and borderline perfect. 

Whatever you organize and wherever you go, know that we support your effort and mission. Plus, we always love to tag along. Show us where your organizing takes you. Tag us on the socials: We’re @edmondsdowntown on Instagram and Facebook.
