Organize Everything Downtown
Could it be that the fresh Virgo slash Libra energy is turning summer whimsy into a stricter, more balanced routine? Or are we feeling like we want to cozy up and go through those boxes in the garage because the back-to-school silence is getting kind of eerie? The fresh morning chill is making us want to cozy up with a warm cup and an oversized sweater, so why not get a little organized while we’re deep into our annual rewatch of The Office.
Stick around because we’re about to go deep into hyper-local resources to not only organize your home but also to organize your money and your affairs (it’s only dark if you decide it’s dark!).
How neat is it that we live in a place that makes everything you want to arrange, declutter, or put in order easy? Now, let’s get you organized!
Organize Your House
Common Formme
Fall = fresh starts, especially for caregivers of school-age kids. Did you hear that? Nope! Us either! That’s exactly the point. Your domain is yours again, which means there’s no better time than right now to invite a professional over to help you declutter, organize, and add some thoughtful details. Not sure where to start? Begin with a conversation with Common Formme or KSD Home. And if your focus is on tricking out your kitchen, head to The Wooden Spoon for all the little things that will ensure you have the most organized kitchen on the block.
While you’re going hard on your house, don’t skip your closet! You can set up consignment appointments at Anchor Chic, Pear Tree Consignment, or the newly opened Crescent Collections. After you’ve offloaded all the things you no longer need, grab a few fresh items from Saetia and Little Bipsy.
All that’s left to do is to curl up with a blanket and a book and settle in.
Organize Your Money
Abby Bailey from Bailey CPA
There are ways to organize your life that people can see (e.g. your house), and then there are 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 McDevitt & Duffy, CPAs. To sit with you to look at the whole picture, talk to a financial advisor like Ameriprise Financial or LPL Financial.
Organize Your Affairs
Sound Estate Planning
It’s never too early to think about preparing for the inevitable (hey, we can always count on death and taxes!), so compiling a will, setting up trusts, and generally ensuring your affairs are in order will save everyone headaches later. Edmonds Wills & Trust offers complete estate planning services. Hendricks Law helps with estate planning and probate trust services. In parallel, Sound Estate Planning helps you protect your assets long before they probably need protecting, ensuring your loved ones have much less to worry about when you’re gone.
BONUS: Organize Some Dates!
Off Main
Okay, so now that your house is organized, your money’s right, and your will is done and dotted, you’ve got some time on your hands. So, how about a hot date? Check out all the places we have right Downtown Edmonds to eat and drink and enjoy the company of a kindred spirit (or two or three).
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 in all the things: We’re @edmondsdowntown on Instagram and Facebook.
Happy organizing!
