Good people doing good things!

WALLA WALLA – Thirty-four cars line up at a church in Walla Walla. It’s an ordinary sight on a Sunday morning, except this is a Seventh-day Adventist community. They met for worship the day prior. Most of the drivers are not church members. The cars are there to receive an oil change.

The Historic Thomas House Mansion and Guest House at 640 N Elm in Colville, WA are for sale! They are both being used as Airbnb's while we wait for the perfect buyer to love them as much as we do.

If you need to find the perfect 1031 investment, look no further. Use this lovely historic home for you and your family or keep it as the successful Airbnb it currently is.

Here is one of the excellent reviews recently given to the mansion:

"Exceptional stay at a truly special property!

"Our family had an unforgettable experience at the Historic Thomas Mansion. The home is not only spacious enough to comfortably accommodate the entire family, but it also offers breathtaking mountain views and is perfectly situated near shopping, dining, and local attractions. One of the standout features is its rich history—you can actually see the home listed in the historical registry, which adds a unique charm to the experience. Just a couple of blocks away is a fascinating local museum, making it easy to explore and appreciate the area’s heritage.

"Host Shelley was absolutely wonderful—responsive, thoughtful, and clearly committed to the local community. Her passion for hospitality and preservation shines through in every detail of the home.

"If you're looking for a one-of-a-kind getaway that combines comfort, history, and local culture, the Thomas Mansion is the perfect choice. Highly recommended!"

Hey, friends of Hope Street Restoration - since this is a really bad time to sell a fantastic huge house (spring is much better!), I have decided to turn the Thomas House at 640 N Elm into an Airbnb for a bit. The cottage should be ready in a week or so and the house shortly thereafter. I will be using Evolve to do the bookings, marketing, etc. I just have to have some income coming back to keep up with the bills!

BUT I need some furniture to get the rooms ready. Does anyone have a queen bed they don't need any more and would be willing to sell cheaply? I need THREE of them! I have two beds, but I also have six rooms that will be bedrooms (including the parlor). I could also use some desks. I would prefer them to look like they belong in a cool old house, if possible. And I would like to get a few occasional chairs so each room could have one.

Let me know what you have! (I am also searching Marketplace for these items.)

Oh....and if anyone is getting rid of kitchen things, I have two kitchens (one small one in the cottage and a BIG one in the main house) to outfit. I have already hit the Dollar Store and will be hopefully getting some things from Ross or TJ Maxx Thursday. But...always interested in knowing what I can find locally.

THANK YOU!

Anyone interested in helping with this project?

Hope Street Project is getting very close to opening Bridges of Hope, a faith-based clean and sober home and program in Colville. We purchased a long table so the residents could all eat together at the same time and found some FREE chairs in Spokane to go with it. However, the chairs are in need of new seat covers. The Hope Street Restoration and Hope Street Project teams , along with a number of volunteers, are hard at work finishing the remodeling, so we thought we would see if any supportive community members would like to take on the task of putting new pads and upholstery on the chairs. They are very sturdy restaurant chairs. Let us know if you can help!
