B&E Meats already has a reputation for excellent meat and seafood, but I can’t pass the opportunity to give another shout out. They also rank high for their exeptional customer service.  My family has been a indulging here for over a decade.  To name a few of our favorites: Kalbi chicken and beef; new york steak, filet, prime rib, beef jerkey, summer sausage…with plenty more to mention.  I promise summer is coming, so go get something to bbq today.  You will be happy you did.  Taste the quality and you will never buy from anywhere else.  B&E is located at 15003 Ambaum Blvd Sw, Burien, WA 98166.

Posted by danita jolly Click Here To Comment »

Mortgage-backed securities have struggled over the last two weeks. There was some positive trading today, however, as the market closed up 31 bps. Hopefully this momentum will carry into Monday giving us better rates to start the week. All rates are based on a principal and interest payment and a 1% loan origination fee.

Best regards,
