WHO WRITES IT

Kathy and Graham Tracey

We are a husband-and-wife real estate team with Compass. Most weeks you will find us at a community event, trying a new restaurant, or walking the paths around Reston's lakes, and Thursday nights usually mean trivia at Lake Anne Brew House.

Reston Insider is where we share what we find, so more of our neighbors know what is opening, what is coming and where to meet each other.
