In this episode of the Waukee Podcast, host Leisa Fox sits down with Allie Fick from Aloft Hotel Waukee to explore how this stylish Marriott brand chose our city as its very first Iowa location. Allie shares the vision behind Aloft's modern, community-driven approach—one that goes beyond hospitality to become a true gathering place for locals and visitors alike.
Then, Jamie Thompson joins the conversation twice—first as our guide to all the weekend's local happenings through What's Up Waukee, and later as one of the area's top realtors. She dives into market trends, neighborhood highlights, and what buyers and sellers should know heading into the next season. It's an episode full of insider insight and hometown pride—celebrating where Waukee's been, and where it's headed next.
