 Brier is so lucky to have such a wonderful library - it may be little, but this smaller library packs a punch and offers all the same wonderful perks of other Sno-Isle Regional libraries.  Check out DVDs, CDs, books, etc., and the children's reading section is adorable.

I love the convenient online ordering system, too - there is no need to have a huge library if you can order anything in the entire system to be picked up at your local library.  Go through their catalog and order as much as you want - they call to tell you that the items are at the building for pick up and will hold them for a few days if it isn't convenient to pick them all up right away.  There is also a really easy slot for dropping the items back off once you are finished.  If you forget - they will call you, but won't charge you unless you loose something. 

Brier Residents already have a lot of great features in their city, but the Brier WA library is a definite asset!

Seattle suburb, Brier, Washington has been busy looking at its park system!  The Brier Park system is pretty amazing with everything from trails to a horse arena, and now this Seattle suburb is going for more! 

In addition to upgrades and improvements and an extreme diligence this last year or so in really treating our parks like gold, the city is looking at a possible dog park, improving the Brier trail system, and there will be a new skate park in Brier!

With heightened security during travel, passports are now required more than ever before.  I am thrilled that they are easier to obtain than they used to be.  My whole family got theirs all together when my daughter traveled to Italy.  I figured with the new laws going into effect that required passports for even Mexico and Canada that I better be prepared. 

I was so overwhelmed by the process initially with all of the various background pieces of paper and then the specific sized and formatted photos required in addition. I was very happy to discover that City Hall in Lake Forest Park, WA offered a one stop shop for the whole process.  They took the photo as part of their passport services offered.  It made the entire process much easier - especially since I was getting them for the whole family.

Now Brier, Wa's City Hall is also offering passport services!!!  Brier, WA residents:  one more reason to love Brier!

Brier is at the North end of Lake Washington and there is at least one boat launch nearby in Kenmore.  The Cascades are just North via Highway 2 where you can snow ski or head over to Leavenworth or further east.  Canada is right up I-5 after you pass shopping outlets and casinos on the way.  Want to go to the beach?  It is close! Fishing?  Nearby, too!  Want to head to the Islands?  Head over to nearby Edmonds and jump on a ferry to Kingston and then keep driving...It's all close by!
