Do you have a Will or need one? You know the term "Estate Plan", but what about this "Elder Law" thing? 🤔...

There is a difference between a typical Estate Plan, and one built specifically for YOUR situation, that protects you through very serious and complex situations.

Situations that keep us up at night:
😧Nursing homes in WA can run $16,000 per month.
❤️Many people need the legal authority to help their parents with decisions ASAP.
😔Often, children are accidently "cut" from an inheritance after a second marriage.
💔A couple can lose their entire savings if one spouse needs long-term care, leaving the other spouse impoverished.

THOSE are the gaps in a typical Estate Plan that an attorney in Estate Planning AND Elder Law can close. If any of those situations concern you too, join us today.

What you'll walk away with:
💡A clear understanding of what elder law planning covers that standard estate planning does not.

For our friends and clients of the Seattle area, happy navigating around Seafair weekend! WSDOT makes it so easy. 🤣

SEAFAIR WEEKEND IS CLEARED FOR TAKEOFF. We've hit pause on most major Seattle-area roadwork for Seafair weekend, but the skies won't be the only thing that's busy. Expect heavy weekend traffic, especially around Seafair events.

Here's your pre-departure briefing for getting around the greater Puget Sound:

The I-90 bridges will be open across Lake Washington. But here’s the deal… “open” does not mean that this is where we stop, stand, shimmy, or gander at the pretty blue angels in the sky. Now repeat it back to me “I will NOT stop along the I-90 Trail during the Seafair shows.”

Revive I-5 work over the Ship Canal Bridge is still ongoing. The express lanes are northbound 24/7. Expect very heavy traffic, especially along I-5 in and out of Seattle. If you've got a game or concert on the itinerary, consider arriving by bike, bus or light rail.

Heading from Tacoma toward Gig Harbor? Plan extra time Saturday, Aug. 1. From 6 a.m. to 8 p.m., two right lanes of the westbound Tacoma Narrows Bridge and the Jackson Avenue on-ramp to westbound SR 16 will close while crews perform emergency reinforcement of previous bridge joint repairs.

Travelers in the South Sound should also plan ahead. The Tribal Canoe Journey to Nisqually is expected to increase traffic Friday through Sunday around DuPont, JBLM and Nisqually.

Before you taxi out for the weekend, download our mobile app for real-time travel information so you can chart the best route to the ballpark, the waterfront or wherever your weekend takes you. Happy Seafair!

Jimmy Shane won the Apollo Columbia Cup in the Tri-Cities on Sunday. 🏆 AND he has an estate plan in place... so we think he's winning at life in general. 😉

We had the honor to work with him a while back and couldn't be more excited to see him add another win to his record.

Here's Jimmy on why a young family man would want an estate plan...

Congrats to Jimmy on his Apollo Columbia Cup win in the Tri-Cities this weekend! 🏆👏👏👏
Before the podium, he had the same thought a lot of people do: "I'm young, I'm healthy, I don't need an Estate Plan." Hear why he changed his mind and had a great experience with us. https://youtu.be/kq2p67DY7go?si=439hIEcOgu0ft56Z

JIMMY SHANE IN THE U-27 MISS APOLLO HAS WON THE 2026 APOLLO COLUMBIA CUP! Congratulations to all who participated and made this an incredible event this weekend at the Tri-City Water Follies. An amazing weekend of racing. Thank you, all of you, for being a part of it.
