seattle luxury 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 luxury condos for sale: Seattle Dinner Theater Like No Other - 09/13/11 06:09 AM
TEATRO ZINZANNI 
"Love Chaos & Dinner"
 
Part circus, part dinner theater, including contortionist, comedy and cabaret. A dinner experience like no other, directed by living landmark Tommy Tune. Teatro Zinzanni is bountiful with bodacious and bawdy entertainment, taking place nightly, near Seattle Center.
 
What better way to spend a Seattle evening, than to take in Teatro Zinzanni? Seated in an antique Belgium cabaret tent at dinner tables or in booths, with service of a five course gourmet meal presented by vaudevillian style acrobats, dancers,  and comedians. I best not forget the word magician in my description of the performers … (12 comments)

seattle luxury condos for sale: My Seattle Stairway To Heaven - 09/10/11 04:09 AM
Seattle is known for the hilly terrain we traverse on a daily basis, so it is no surprise that we have over Six hundred and fifty staircases in our fair city! Some of our exterior stairways, like the steps beside Seattle Art Museum, make the uphill climb easier, and others are steep or narrow and don't quite make for an interesting trail to the next block.

This set of stairs, however, is my favorite set! Located on Alaskan Way and Lenora...

 My heart pitter pats when I see them loom on the horizon!

specifically because there is an … (11 comments)

seattle luxury condos for sale: Seattle Sunset on Elliot Bay - 09/07/11 05:01 PM
 
There is nothing like ending a great dinner (that I successfully prepared!) with a beautiful sunset. I never get tired of watching the ferry glide through the water as the sun sets behind the mountains. Sail boats enjoyed the view along with us and all the passengers making their way home on the ferry. As we watch this day pass by, and say good evening to the Emerald City, I think to myself... Another glorious day in Seattle!

seattle luxury 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 luxury condos for sale: Seattle Zipcars Keep it Green - 09/02/11 06:12 PM
One of the wonderful things about urban living is the lack of need for an automobile on a daily basis. When we moved to downtown Seattle we liberated ourselves from the three car garage syndrome of the desert and downsized to one all purpose vehicle. 
 
There is a better way for those who don't want to make car payments, insurance payments, parking garage payments and buy gas. 
 

 
You can join the growing number of Seattle Urban dwellers who use zipcar! From feisty BMW mini coopers to hybrids and luxury sedans, your chariot awaits with  zipcar. As a … (22 comments)

seattle luxury 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 luxury condos for sale: Seattle Juice Emporium Revs Me Up - 09/01/11 04:27 AM
Strolling the streets of Seattle can make for an exciting day. I find my photo opportunities everywhere. Some days, I don't realize how long I have been at it until I feel that strange fogginess we can get when we aren't staying hydrated. One quick solution is to stop by The Juice Emporium just across from Pike Place Market.

With smoothies and fresh squeezed juice of every variety, there is no reason to not feel lively and refreshed!

My choice today was strawberry lemonade, the perfect thirst quencher for a parched Seattleite!

The friendly Juice Master always has … (7 comments)

seattle luxury condos for sale: Seattle is All About Choices - 08/19/11 05:11 AM
Yesterday as I walked to 5th and Pine in Seattle to meet my husband for lunch, I stopped for some photos. I captured children tethered by rope in order to keep them together as their preschool guardians shuttled them from point A to point B. I watched men play chess on the giant board in the park and observed people as I waited. 
When my husband reached our rendezvous spot, he suggested we grab a quick lunch and sit outside,

Considered the Rolls Royce of doggage, honored as Best of Seattle, and in a great location...

seattle luxury condos for sale: Seattle City Kids - 08/18/11 03:25 PM
On my way to 5th And Pine to meet my husband for lunch and take in a bit of shopping time, I passed a common sight for those of us who frequent the streets of Seattle. Nursery school kids on a walk. Now a Seattle walk means busy sidewalks and busy streets, so it is easy to understand the need for some kind of system to keep track of these tykes as they stroll, and although there are ten seat carriages we see the tiniest city kids ride in, these girls and boys are old enough to follow the lead and … (6 comments)

seattle luxury condos for sale: Russian Sailors Enjoy Seattle Sights - 08/16/11 04:38 AM
This weekend as I traveled the streets of Seattle, I noticed some handsome young fellows in Russian Naval uniforms really enjoying all we have to offer visitors and locals alike, here in the Emerald City. These Cadets are part of the two hundred aboard Russian sailing vessel Pallada, docked at pier 66. 
Never shy to request a photo, I held up my camera as the obliging lads nodded approval. Immediately their demeanor changed, shoulders rolled back, heads held high, as I snapped this shot of young foreign military students, enamored with the sights of new worlds so far from home. I … (11 comments)

seattle luxury 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…
