green lake: Green Lake Little League - 04/09/11 02:43 PM
It's baseball season again and Green Lake has Little League. My son played on the RUG team (Roosevelt, U-District, GreenLake) team 20 years ago. Today I watched a game with my grandson playing. He'll soon be 14. Hard to believe.
Loren (#22) plays for the Northwest team and today they beat the RUG boys. Loren pitched scoreless two innings of the game and he got on base a few times too.
Twenty years ago I met the parents of two players and have since had 9 transactions with realted members of the family. There is noting quite like enjoying an afternoon … (15 comments)

Green Lake Market Report 2010 What does the Green Lake Market Report look like for 2010? One caveat first. This time of year we always have the lowest number of Active listings. Many listings expire at the end of the year and some sellers are reluctant to put them back on until the weather takes a turn for the better. That said, here's how things look today:

Green Lake is Hot In This Post
Green Lake is hot.
The Green Lake neighborhood of Seattle is hot today, and when it is hot, the wading pool gets filled and children from all around gather to cool off in the waters of Seattle's most visited park.

This morning I walked from my office over to the pool as it was being filled. Day care centers and summer camps were already assembling in the grassy areas nearby, awaiting the official "Okay" to go splash in the … (2 comments)

North Seattle Neighborhood Market Report In This Post
A look at activity during July of 2010
North Seattle Neighborhood Market Report Usually the months of July and August are somewhat slow in Seattle's north end. The overall picture reflects that.

A 5-6% abrorption rate is considered a balanced market.


As you can see, … (3 comments)

A description of the Green Lake neighborhood and a study of current market conditions.
