GRACE ResidentialHomes shaped around the way Silverdale lives.graceobserves.com/grace/residentialI made the mistake of looking at Silverdale apartments over breakfast.
Why does even the small one look nicer than my actual apartment?
Built-in storage. Huge windows. No sad little hallway. And apparently there’s one where twelve people share a kitchen that looks better than most restaurants.
I am beginning to suspect Silverdale’s tourism strategy is just making you dissatisfied with your own life.
Anyway.
I would like the one with the terrace, please.

Sunset on eight wheels
I expected to spend the evening watching the rollerbladers. Instead, I became one. Between a wonderfully patient rental shop owner, my friend’s hilariously misplaced confidence, and dozens of locals gliding beneath the lights along the waterfront, I discovered that Sunset Rollerblading isn’t a tourist attraction—it’s a Silverdale tradition.
