Preparing Your Apartment for Vacation

With summer coming up, it's likely you've started to think about your vacation plans. Regardless of whether an Alaska cruise or trip to New York is in your future, there are some preparations that will make your planning process go a whole lot smoother. Besides, nobody wants to worry about their apartment while they're on vacation, trying to relax.

ApartmentGuides.com blogged about some tasks to get done before you go away, so you can fully enjoy your trip and return to your one true home:

Figure out the parking situation.

If your car is coming with you — road trip! — this isn’t an issue. But if your car will be parked at your apartment community while you’re away, you need to take care of a few things. First, take all valuables out of your car, roll up the windows and lock the doors. Then, move it to an out-of-the-way spot – it would be rude to hog a prime parking place while you’re not even there.

Your landlord might have an ideal spot in mind for leaving your car. Be sure to ask!

 

Put your mail on hold.

Your local post office will hold on to your mail instead of delivering it to your mailbox while you’re away. The process is easy: Just fill out an online form detailing where you live and when you’ll be out of town. Go to the post office to pick it up when you return, and you won’t have to deal with a stuffed-to-the-gills mailbox.

If you haven’t done so already, arrange for your bills to be paid online. Scheduling automatic withdrawals from your bank account will ensure you never miss a payment.

 

Arrange for pet care.

Can’t take Fluffy with you on vacation? Arrange to leave your furry friends with a friend or family member, or make a reservation at a boarding facility. Print out a detailed list of what kind of food and what time of day your pet eats, as well as instructions for medications.

 

Ask a friend or neighbor to check on things while you’re gone.

If you’ve got houseplants, someone needs to keep them watered. Plus, having someone come and go at least once a day will make it look like someone is home, and that deters burglars.

If you can’t find anyone to come by, invest in a timer that’ll turn on your lights at certain times of the evening. You can find a plug-in timer for around $5 at your local home improvement store. The timer won’t water your plants for you, but it’ll make it look like someone is in the apartment.

John Howie Bringing a Restaurant & Brewery to Bothell

John Howie is one of the most well known chefs in the Seattle region. You may recognize his name from John Howie Steak in Bellevue, although he’s been running restaurants in the area for years.

And this September, he’ll be opening another restaurant and brewery, right here in Bothell. The Beardslee Alehouse is slated to open up at The Village at Beardslee Crossing, consisting of a 10-barrel brewery featuring some of the best local craft beers, along with a full menu that speaks to a “farm to table” philosophy, with everything made fresh in-house. That means that all the bread will be baked fresh, all meat will be processed on premises, and of course, there’ll be a full-service bar featuring local wines in addition to the local beers.

John Howie Restaurant Group currently includes John Howie Steak, Seastar Restaurant and Raw Bar in Seattle and Bellevue, SPORT Restaurant and Bar and Adriatic Grill Italian Cuisine & Wine Bar. He is also the author of "Passion & Palate: Recipes for a Generous Table."

From The Bothell Reporter

“We are thrilled to be coming to Bothell,” Howie said. “We see great growth and opportunity in the Bothell area, and look forward to bringing our exceptional products and services to the city.”

"We really want Beardslee Alehouse to be a stopping place for people," Howie said. "It will be a place where people of any age can come and appreciate. We will offer budget friendly foods, but also pricer options for a fancier night."

The place should even be relatively affordable, with items as low as $7 and as high as $18.

The new restaurant will be located at 19116 112th Ave. NE. Beardslee Alehouse will be in suite 103 and 201 and Wildwood Spirits Co. in Suite 102.
