While walking through the backyard of their new home, Brian and Karen told me stories of how they wore N95 masks for a large portion of the past two summers, as dangerous smoke levels became the daily norm for them at their home in Southern Oregon. A concern over the continuing effects of climate change motivated them to search for a home elsewhere. Because they were used to the privacy and natural surroundings of living in a rural area they wanted to maintain some of that same feeling in their new Portland home. After a couple of weekend trips to Portland, and looking a few sad or awkward looking houses, they found a pristine home in SW Portland surrounded by lots of trees.
Congratulations Brian and Karen!
