seattle bay view condos for sale: A Glorious Seattle Day - 11/16/11 08:57 AM
Today is a blustery day in Seattle. It is raining that soft misty rain that leaves your face dewy when you step out of it and into the warm confines of a shop. 
 
I decided to brave the elements and go on a downtown Seattle walk about. What a magical experience it was! I headed up to 5th and Pine where Macy's, Barney's and Nordstrom had people putting up their elaborate Christmas displays. Christmas music was playing as I wandered in and out of shops. Much to my surprise, there was no angst or indignation about the premature marketing ploys … (14 comments)

seattle bay view condos for sale: This is My Seattle - 11/03/11 05:15 AM
Taking the ferry to Bainbridge Island is always a pleasure! Bainbridge Island is a beautiful place with a quaint hamlet feel and the ride over can be an adventure, if you choose to partake in the outdoor decks rather than enjoying the warm lounge areas offering caffeine, snacks and the ever popular eight dollar glass of beer!

Being the adventurous sort, I chose to enjoy the outdoor decks, exploring the two open levels, observing which gave me the best vantage to shoot some photos of Downtown Seattle looming on the horizon. I enjoy Elliot Bay and mountain views daily from … (21 comments)

seattle bay view condos for sale: Seeing Green At Seattle Aquarium - 09/09/11 06:37 AM
As I look back on my Seattle walkabouts, I have become aware of how green we really are. Seattle Aquarium is on my to do list every month, and each time I go, there is something different to notice. Today, I was on the look out for green moments to share...

Let's start at the entry, shall we?...

Hmmm...Funny, I never noticed this before!...

By gosh, those are solar panels!

Let's see if we find green inside the aquarium...

Separate trash with ease...Yep, that's pretty green!

Big neon sigh with interactive Scuba diver exhibit every … (13 comments)

seattle bay view condos for sale: Seattle Retail Growth Is a Good Sign - 09/04/11 02:58 AM
Downtown Seattle has two new retailers setting up shop. Target is in the works on second and Union right now. It is fun watching the vacant space transform into a familiar dry goods store. I am looking forward to seeing the distinctive red bulls eye go up. I'm excited because now I won't even have to get in the car for laundry soap and toothpaste!
 
JC Penney is making a come back to Seattle's urban core. I was pleasantly surprised to read about it in today's' Seattle Times. According to the news, Penney's will be a mere block from the … (6 comments)

seattle bay view condos for sale: Showbox Marquee in Downtown Seattle - 09/01/11 05:55 PM
I had to laugh as I walked past ShowBox on 1st near Union, and saw their marquee proclaiming Hanson will appear Sunday September 4th. Although the brother boy band did well with their bubble gum sensation MMMBOP, I had to wonder how much stage time they can fill!

Admittedly adorable in 1997, the MMMBOP song received two Grammy nominations. It also created an overkill hate-fest that made Hanson a  parody band. They have never come up with another hit song. 

Paul Simon was an astounding event at Showbox. James was fantastic, but Hanson? Sorry boys, think I'll take a … (10 comments)

seattle bay view condos for sale: Seattle Urban Berry Pie - 08/22/11 08:56 AM
We love to take our Jack Russell Cooper to a field by Elliot Bay Marina in Seattle. He runs free as we enjoy laps around the grassy field, watching the cruise ship activity and dreaming of the day our own boat  is moored at the marina. 
 
This weekend, my husband discovered wild blackberries ripe for the picking as we walked the northern corner of our secret place. To my delight, he picked gallons of berries, brought them home and quickly set about to make us an Urban berry Pie.
 
No recipe included, just some photos of this perfectly delectable … (27 comments)

seattle bay view condos for sale: Pioneer Square Seattle's Original Downtown - 08/17/11 04:50 AM
Pioneer Square has been a highlighted feature of Seattle since the 1850's. It melds seamlessly into the newer central core, encompassing the southwest region of what we consider downtown, and has a distinctive flair provided by the abundance of brick and stone that ensconces all who wander the cobbled alleyways and streets of this historic district.

Iron and ornate embellishments adorn buildings and walkways, as pubs, restaurants and galleries lace throughout the quirky community.

Art has evolved into the hot ticket in Pioneer Square, making it a hub for local artists and exhibitors. Eclectic Funky and cutting edge vibes … (18 comments)

seattle bay view condos for sale: Hammer Time in Seattle - 08/15/11 07:31 AM
No, MC Hammer is not performing in Seattle this week! This weekend on my stroll through the Emerald City, it dawned on me that I have written posts about Seattle Art Museum many times, and have yet to feature it's most prominent visitor, Hammering Man.

 
Gracing the First Avenue entrance, Hammering Man is a city owned institution. Photographed thousands of times weekly, by people from around the world, this 48 foot worker bee strikes his hammer four times per minute from seven a.m. til ten each night, seeing fit to exclude work from his schedule, only one day a … (9 comments)

seattle bay view condos for sale: Something Tells Me It's all Happening At The Zoo - 07/28/11 12:57 PM
A venture to Woodland Zoo Park on a sunny day was just the ticket to bring back echos of Simon and Garfunkel. I might just be dating myself becoming reminiscent of the sixties, but time doesn't warrant vanity in such issues anymore.
A stone's throw from downtown Seattle had me parking at the zoo in ten minutes flat. I got there just as the haze of morning was burning off and began a zoo-like adventure you just might enjoy...

seattle bay view condos for sale: News Story from Elliot Bay Seattle - 07/20/11 05:43 PM
 
Big excitement on Elliot Bay yesterday
Seattle was selected to work on a mobile offshore oil drilling unit, which was transported into Elliot Bay yesterday. This meant the visiting SBX radar facility that is harbored at the Vigor Shipyard had to be moved out to make room for the oil platform.

News helicopters, tourists and the Coast Guard were all on hand to witness the event.

Seattle's state of the art facilities and trained work force made it the right choice for the job.

And that is your Elliot Bay news for today…

seattle bay view condos for sale: Stay The Course - 07/08/11 05:11 AM
Looking out on Elliot Bay, I watched the sail boats line up for a sunset practice. Setting buoys in precise locations, hoisting sails, and manning stations aboard each vessel to run the course. 
 
I am reminded by this exercise that it is important to use the tools available, know the meaning of team work, and trust your instincts. As I watch the wind billow in the sails, the sun sets beyond the clouds, on another beautiful day in Seattle.

seattle bay view condos for sale: A Day at the Beach - 07/06/11 05:27 PM
One of the many things I love about life in Seattle is the fact that you can get to one of many beautiful Washington beaches in just a few hours.
Of course, we have our little mini get away beaches here. There is Alki Beach just across the bay, and Golden Gardens Beach Park in Ballard about five miles from downtown Seattle.
I'm talking about some of the longest strands of seaside beach with ocean waves, crabs, jellyfish, sea lions, boardwalks,salt water taffy, kite shops, the works!

seattle bay view condos for sale: Being Part of the Problem - 07/05/11 01:54 PM
Let's face it, sometimes it is really obvious when someone is part of the problem rather than part of the solution! On a trip to Pike Place Market, I decided to take a walk through Post Alley, a quaint brick paved pathway with some great little spots to stop and relax like the Alibi Room with excellent happy hour fare and a fun atmosphere. 
As my husband and I got closer to the infamous gum wall, I noticed it is really blossoming. Now this strange phenominon started with folks standing in line for tickets and after unsuccessful attempts to clean up … (16 comments)

Today I look out on the billowing clouds in a bright blue sky, the ferry on Elliot Bay headed to Bainbridge Island, Alki Beach across the water, the cascade mountains devoid of the snowy caps they displayed so long and the marina pleasure boats docked for the day, I can't help but appreciate all that Seattle has to offer.

Strolling through Seattle, one cannot help but notice artistic achievements along the way. Local art galleries are plentiful, providing every style and medium in the art world for our viewing pleasure. From galleries in Pioneer Square...

To an abundance of blown glass throughout the city...

We see reclaimed wood as art...

There is art on the pier...

On the buildings...

In parks...

And even above us!

There is always something fun and interesting to view in downtown Seattle!
