KW Red Day 2022

By Rosie Rourke, posted May 03, 2022

Red Day is a day of service for all Keller Williams agents that happens once a year! This year the Rosie Rourke Team along with our Keller Williams Mountains to Sound brokerage, are collecting donations for Vine Maple Place's Care Closet!

The Care Closet meets the needs of basic hygiene products for VMP families. While Moms and Dads are at VMP busily working towards stability, they can grab what they need for their family from the care closet. This helps reduce their budget and saves them time and gas going to the store.

Most items can be purchased at the Dollar Store, Walmart, Fred Meyer, etc. or in bulk at Costco. (Please no sample sizes)

Toilet Paper
Deodorant (female)
Tampons
Shampoo
Laundry Detergent
Kitchen trash bags
Tall Kitchen Trash Cans w/o lid
Dish Soap
Paper Towels
Conditioner
Shaving Cream (female)
Feminine Hygiene Pads

Fairwood Featured Business – Este The Aesthetician!

By Rosie Rourke, posted Nov 15, 2017

With this post, I am happy to be continuing my “Fairwood Featured Business” series… and I’m excited to share my recent experience with you!

My ongoing passion as the top real estate agent in the Renton & Fairwood area is to highlight and celebrate the Fairwood neighborhood I live in, raise my kids in and work in. I believe that a big part of what enhances our quality of life is when we enjoy our surroundings. So I’m taking an opportunity to focus on our neighborhood specifically and to appreciate all that we have here, so close to home.

Previously on this blog, I have featured Plaza Cleaners, Fairwood Thai Cuisine, and Cosmo Nail Parlor, Fairwood Golf & Country Club, Fire District #40, Station 17, Shakey’s, There Ya Go Espresso, Salon Tii Gavo and The Wine Alley, and Handy Man Craig!

This month I am EXCITED to feature Este Egan, an Aesthetician at Salon Tii Gavo!

Amazing Aesthetician in Fairwood!

I recently had a facial done by Este at Salon Tii Gavo! She is a well known figure in the Renton area, she is involved with the area schools and you’ve probably ran into her at Starbucks a time to two! Being as busy as I am, I don’t take a lot of “me time.” But I have to say after spending an hour with Este… I think that needs to change!

My Experience…

First of all, Este runs her business out of Salon Tii Gavo, which is well known as being one of the top salons in the Renton/Fairwood area. The moment you walk in you instantly feel the weights of the world lift from your shoulders! Then you are greeted by Este, she is super cute with a charismatic personality. I ended up with a relaxing facial and collagen treatment mask.

After the treatment my skin was moist, supple, and my husband said I was glowing! Este was able to relax and rejuvenate me in an hour… totally worth it!

Other Services – Waxing

Este is also well known for her waxing services.

Getting a Hold of Este

Este is available via phone, just call or text 425-277-5410. And GUYS… a gift certificate for the holidays is sure to please that special someone in your life 🙂

Featured Fairwood Business – Handyman Services!

By Rosie Rourke, posted Jan 31, 2017

With this post, I am happy to be continuing my “Fairwood Featured Business” series with installment #10.

For January I am excited to be featuring…

Fairwood Handyman Services!

The owner and handyman Craig Wadsworth is the best kept secret in Fairwood! He has been an expert handyman for the Fairwood area since 2002. Being a local resident, Craig not only is an incredible resource for Fairwood homeowners, he truly cares about the community we live in. He donates his time and money back to his kid’s schools and helps out when he can! “Customers just love me”, says Craig.

Entry before…

AFTER!

Have a Honey-Do List?

Craig is a licensed contractor in the State of Washington and really is a jack of all trades. No job is too big or too small. “What annoys you? It’s the honey-do list items that I specialize in”, says Craig. And think about that, you work hard, the last thing you want to do on your weekend is patch a wall or fix a leaky pipe, right? And with Craig’s hourly rate being amazingly reasonable, you can’t put a price on your personal sanity!

“Excellent work at an honest price. Craig’s attention to detail is great and he’s a pretty funny guy, too.” – Bob W. via Facebook Review

Raised to be a Handyman…

Some people are born with a green thumb… Craig was born with a hammer in his hand! “I learned a lot from my dad, he was a handy guy, I guess it just rubbed off on me”, Craig said with a smile. He has a passion for problem solving and working with his hands. I’ve personally recommended a lot of my clients to Craig and I’ve never heard a negative thing… and that’s saying something in today’s crazy world we live in, right?

Deck Before…

Deck After!

Getting a Hold of Craig

Craig is available via phone, just call or text 206-713-4904. You can also interact with him and his customers via his Facebook page, click here to check it out!

Featured Fairwood Business – The Wine Alley!

By Rosie Rourke, posted Dec 12, 2016

With this post, I am happy to be continuing my “Fairwood Featured Business” series with installment #9.

My ongoing passion is to highlight and celebrate the neighborhood I live in, raise my kids in and work in. I believe that a big part of what enhances our quality of life is when we enjoy our surroundings. So I’m taking an opportunity to focus on our neighborhood specifically and to appreciate all that we have here, so close to home.

For December I am excited to be featuring…

The Wine Alley

With the Holidays in full swing, what better business to feature than the Wine Alley?! A great place to get that special holiday gift or a treat for yourself!

The Wine Alley has been a fixture in the Fairwood community since 2005, but in 2015 the new owners Touŕe and Charisse Sam took over and have fallen in love with Fairwood!

A New Beginning with new Owners!

Touŕe and Charisse are excited to meet their neighbors. Originally from California the Sam’s relocated to Virginia to be closer to family, but soon realized that they desperately missed the West Coast. They decided to pack up and move to the Seattle area after visiting for a friend’s wedding and falling in love with the area (what’s not to love?!) When the long time wine lovers found out a local wine shop was for sale they jumped at the chance. They could not believe they had an opportunity to share their passion for wine with their new community!

Shop Local in Fairwood

October 1^st 2015 the Sam’s officially took over the Wine Alley from the previous owners Scott & Alley. They have enjoyed getting to know everyone here in Fairwood and are passionate about shopping local. Did you know they carry local cheeses and chocolate? It is delicious if I do say so! Of course they carry local wines too like the hard to find Cave B and Delille! The Wine Alley also carries many different varieties of craft and hard to find beers.

Tastings & Events

Touŕe and Charisse invite you to be their guest. If you mention Rosie Rourke when you attend one of their tastings they will waive the fee*! Please head in there, say hello, taste some remarkable wine or beer and relax this holiday season.

*not valid on all tastings

Fairwood Featured Business – Salon Tii Gavo!!

By Rosie Rourke, posted Sep 08, 2016

With this post, I am happy to be continuing my “Fairwood Featured Business” series with installment #8.

Previously on this blog, I have featured Plaza Cleaners, Fairwood Thai Cuisine, and Cosmo Nail Parlor, Fairwood Golf & Country Club, Fire District #40, Station 17, Shakey’s and There Ya Go Espresso.

For September I am thrilled to be featuring Salon Tii Gavo!

Salon Tii Gavo has been a fixture in the Fairwood community for EVER – in fact 2017 marks their 20th anniversary!

A Gathering Place

Tii Gavo means “A Gathering Place” in the native Havisupi language. Believe me, the spirit of the name rings true the very moment you step into the salon. You are greeted as if you are family when you walk in (but here’s a hint, it’s BETTER than family – there are SPA services!!) Nine stylists are on staff to provide the full range of hair services, manicures, hot stone spa pedicures and more. If nothing else, you must experience the luxury of “the lather lounge”…a 5 minute stress relieving scalp massage while getting your hair washed. It is heaven!

Service Oriented

Owner Jolene Casey showcases her many talents and gifts through her business. Top among them are her dedication to customer service and community outreach. First rate, high-touch customer service is the standard at Salon Tii Gavo. Their reputation in the industry is excellent and customer reviews are outstanding. Jolene takes that commitment a step further, however, by her continuous efforts to give back to her community. Jolene and her team at Salon Tii Gavo are regularly sponsoring raffles, community events and promotions to raise money for worthy charities. Many local and regional organizations have benefited over these 20 years from donations of money, goods and services that the Salon Tii Gavo team has provided! That dedication to service is amazing and rare… I am so happy we have Jolene right here in Fairwood!

Referral Promotion

Jolene shared with me that Salon Tii Gavo is running a referral promotion through the end of October! For current clients, when you refer a new client you will be rewarded from a list of amazing gifts!

The holidays are around the corner as well. If you have never seen the Salon, please do stop in during November and December to shop from a wide variety of gift ideas for your loved ones…or yourself 🙂

Thank You to Jolene Casey and Salon Tii Gavo! It is businesses like yours that make our community so very special!

Fairwood Featured Business – THERE YA GO ESPRESSO!

By Rosie Rourke, posted Jul 11, 2016

With this post, I am happy to be continuing my “Fairwood Featured Business” series with installment #7

Previously on this blog, I have featured Plaza Cleaners, Fairwood Thai Cuisine, and Cosmo Nail Parlor, Fairwood Golf & Country Club, Fire District #40, Station 17, and Shakey’s.

For the month of July, I am so happy to feature There Ya Go Espresso!!

This my favorite coffee stop for so many reasons! It’s close, it has a convenient drive thru, and They Know My Name! I love great customer service, and that’s what I get every time at There Ya Go Espresso.

Owners Brian & Shelly Cox bought the Fairwood stand in 2008. Both local kids, (Brian – Kentridge HS, Shelly – Tahoma HS) their commitment to bringing quality independent business to their community is something I truly admire. They own two locations, Fairwood and Maple Valley, and have been working in the coffee industry since 1995,

Caffe’ D’arte Coffee

There Ya Go proudly serves Caffe’ D’arte Coffee, which I learned is one of the oldest roasters in Seattle. They were roasting here when Starbucks and Seattle’s Best were just baby coffee companies! Caffe D’arte also has a roasting plant in Italy, so it’s like having “real Italian roast” right here in Seattle! In addition to coffee, There Ya Go serves a variety of teas, food items, and recently began offering SPARK, by Advocare!

The Fairwood location was just remodeled in 2016, employs 6 Amazing Baristas, and offers specials every weekday! Free Muffin (banana bread) Monday, Two Stamp Tuesday, 4th Shot Free on Wednesday, 50c off Food Thursday, and Free Flavor Friday!!!

Open every day from 5am-5pm, There Ya Go Espresso is one of Fairwood’s Finest!

Thank you Brian and Stacy Cox ~ keep up the good work!

Fairwood Featured Business – Shakey’s!

By Rosie Rourke, posted May 06, 2016

With this post, I am happy to be continuing my “Fairwood Featured Business” series with installment #6.

Previously on this blog, I have featured Plaza Cleaners, Fairwood Thai Cuisine, and Cosmo Nail Parlor and Fairwood Golf & Country Club and Fire District #40, Station 17.

For the month of MAY, I am proud to highlight Shakey’s Pizza Parlor!

Only 2 in Washington State

Did you know that our Fairwood Shakey’s is one of only two in Washington? You’ll have to drive to Pasco to find the other! Shakey’s was founded in 1954 and has been a center point of West Coast culture since then. Shakey’s has a long history in Renton and I am glad that Fairwood is home to this classic family restaurant.

New Owner

In February, 2016 Lori Bender took over the reins as the new owner. A Fairwood resident herself since 1977 and longtime restaurant owner, Lori is passionate about revitalizing our Shakey’s. Here are just some of the exciting changes underway: remodel of restaurant and kitchen, revamped menu, improved beer & wine selections, larger game room, and some lower prices. With such a long history in Fairwood, Lori wants to ensure that Shakey’s is going strong for years to come.

Family Friendly

Shakey’s has always been a great gathering place for families. It’s kid friendly and comfortable with selections for adults as well. Our sports teams have long enjoyed after game meals and banquets there. Lori showed me the reconfigured party room, and it is a great gathering place. Shakey’s has hosted engagement parties, baby showers, sports team banquets, birthday parties and even a wedding reception! If your group really needs the party room, it is best to make a reservation, but Lori said that Teams are ALWAYS WELCOME – just c’mon in!

Take a New Look!

I am excited to take a new look at an old favorite! Shakey’s is open daily from 11-9pm and until 10pm on Friday and Saturdays. Lori has generously offered to take $2 off of any large pizza order if you mention Rosie Rourke anytime in the month of May.

Thank You Lori! And thank you Shakey’s for continuing to be our Fairwood family gathering place!
