POULSBO — Every year, Windermere Real Estate offices nationwide closes their offices for one day to help make a positive difference in their communities.

Today — June 5 — is that day.

Windermere employees in Kingston and Poulsbo spent June 5 sprucing up and improving Kola Kole Park and Fish Park, respectively.

Windermere’s annual Community Service Day started in 1984 when a handful of Windermere owners and agents came together to make repairs at a local elementary school. Thirty years and more than one million hours of community service later, employees continue the tradition through neighborhood-enhancing projects in the areas where Windermere teams live, work, and play.
