Helping Washington State homeowners learn more about their mortgage options.
We’ve all seen the nicely produced video (to the tune of $80k) of what could happen to the viaduct if Seattle experiences an earthquake… but have you seen the low budget version of what would happen to the proposed tunnel in a similar circumstance?
Note: I’m trying out posting mortgage rates at Rain City Guide on Friday’s and on Mortgage Porter on Mondays.
PS: Don’t forget to VOTE by next Tuesday.
These are just some quick photos while doing errands in West Seattle. I just love this time of year with the maple trees changing to brilliant colors. And I've been meaning to capture the sunflowers during summer….next year!
If you live in the Seattle area, you've most likely heard about the cougar that's been spotted in the Magnolia neighborhood…but did you know that this tricky feline has her own Twitter page?
She's been taunting trappers and posting pictures of recent tasty tidbits with Twitter updates. I'm sure this will make the evening news…in fact this kitty is following local reporter Rebeca Stevenson who recently received a tweet from King 5 (competing station and her former employer) that the cougar is on the prowl:
RT @KING5Seattle: .@StevensonRebeca — watch out for @MagnoliaCougar! Red lipstick and cocktail in hand. 🙂
It's all good fun and has really given me a good chuckle today. You can check out what the "SEEADDLE Kitteh" is up to by visiting www.twitter.com/magnoliacougar
WARNING: This kitty does like to drop the f-bomb in tweets.
Hopefully you won’t have to drive too far to find Skillet Streetfood…in fact this mobile delight travels throughout the week to several Seattle neighborhoods, including West Seattle, Queen Anne, Capitol Hill, Fremont, SODO, Bothell and Redmond.
Last weekend, I decided I could wait no longer…I had to check out the infamous Skillet featuring gourmet bites created in an airstream trailer.
I love a parade…especially if it’s in my home-town AND it features my favorite Seattle clown, JP Patches.
The Seafair Clowns are a Seattle treasure, too.
Not to mention great marching bands, drill teams and princesses. The West Seattle Hi-Yu Parade is something not to be missed. For more pictures, click here.
I enjoy driving down the viaduct…northbound is prettier than heading south in my opinion but I love this old structure. I’m going to miss it when it’s gone and I think it’s really concerning that our elected officials have no regard for the citizens who voted to keep the viaduct. Instead, they are blazing ahead with plans for a tunnel. Why vote when your officials don’t honor the voice of their citizens? Adding insult to injury according to this article, Seattle homeowners may get the bill fo cost over-runs. Your thoughts?
Just south of downtown Seattle, you’ll find historic Georgetown. My husband and I 
decided to check it out a few weekends ago in search of authentic Italian style pizza. The restaurant we wanted to go to was closed (we’ll go definitely go back and give you a full report) but we’re not disappointed. [Read more…]
Lincoln Park is one of West Seattle’s most loved waterfront parks, offering shoreline paths, sweeping Puget Sound views, and easy access to outdoor recreation.
On this Sunday Drive, we explored Lincoln Park’s walking trails, beach access, and scenic viewpoints — a place that continues to be a favorite for locals looking to spend time outdoors close to home.
Lincoln Park is one of Seattle’s oldest and largest parks with 135 acres which is packed with trails, covered picnic areas, baseball and soccer fields, playgrounds and swimming pools. This beautiful park is one of the many designed by the Olmsted brothers in the early 1900s. [Read more…]
