- New Business Ideas? -- Last Post: Tuesday, July 01, 2008
My husband and I would like to move our young family to Hood River, because we are simply in love with the area. We currently live in Seattle and have professional occupations that aren't available in Hood River area. I am considering starting a new business. Does anyone have any ideas on what Hood River needs? I mean it already seems to have everything :) And the residents don't seem to be high maintenance (which is also another reason to love it there).
My current occupation (besides wife, mother, and DOG moth... Read More

Thanks to all the Hood River parents (and some White Salmon parents, too) who have been calling and booking sessions for my new Children's Theme Portraits special for July - a big surprise to me is that the little boys' set, Cowboy Bath House, is filling up so much faster than the little girls' set, Teddybear Bath Time!
I want to add that there are still appointments available for both themes, but I expect to fully book up before July 4th - so if you've been on the fence about bringing your children in for t... Read More

Posted By: kinderhaus Comments: 0 ID: 239 - Special school needs -- Last Post: Friday, May 30, 2008
Hi,
We are considering moving to the Hood River Area. We have two girls (8,13) that are currently home schooled through a public charter. They go to school 2/days a week and have a great home school class of 24 kids K-6. The rest of the days is at home. Our son (14, developmental age 1-2) is profoundly disabled and the happiest child I know. He is medically fragile and enjoys a combination of home visit teacher, special ed class room and mainstreaming into friendly charter school settings.
I would be happy t... Read More

Hello.
I am the editor of Paddler Magazine in Kirkland, Washington. We have selected Hood River, of course, as one of the best towns in America.

Hi!
I have some little girls clothes (sizes 2t-4t) and some other baby items I would like to give away. Many of the goodwill and salvation locations up here in Seattle stop taking donations when they get full (imagine that) so I thought I would pack up some stuff and bring it down to Hood River / White Salmon. Does anyone know any place I can drop off these items? I would love to help out a needy family or an organization in need.
Thanks!

It's great to see new moms looking for family fun ideas in the gorge. You will find it is a great place to raise a family, and will see there are many options to keep you busy.
My family created an indoor play space for families to enjoy with their children, it is call Our Children's Place and we are located on the heights in Hood River. We hold pre-school classes in the morning but are open to the public in the afternoons and weekends. It is a great place to meet other parents.
