This classic Seattle WALLINGFORD neighborhood occupies an advantageous position on the north shore of Lake Union, with magnificent southerly views across the lake to the downtown skyline. Flanked by the U DISTRICT city’s two major north-south arteries, I-5 and SR 99/Aurora Avenue, Wallingford feels more central than most parts FREMONT of the city. Aurora Avenue, mere blocks from the subject property, offers RapidRide public transportation in both directions. Conveniently placed as it is for highway access, LAKE Wallingford also boasts a privileged connection to another WASHINGTON active thoroughfare – the paved, multi-use Burke-Gilman Trail. Enjoyed each day by thousands of bicycle commuters and outdoor enthusiasts, the Trail hugs the Lake Union shoreline at Wallingford’s southern edge and provides a scenic route to UW, Children’s Hospital and other Northeast LAKE Seattle destinations. UNION QUEEN ANNE Abutting Wallingford on its indistinct western border, close to the subject property, Fremont has rapidly morphed from industrial warehouse district to seat of the counterculture MADISON to thriving technology hub. The data visualization company PARK Tableau (which contributes software to the Burke-Gilman CAPITOL Trail bicycle counters) has built its main campus in Fremont, HILL and both Google and Adobe have a significant Fremont presence. The three companies are together responsible for over 4000 fulltime employees, who in turn bring to the area a rising demand for restaurants, bars, cafes, services – SOUTH and, of course, places to live.

Economic growth fuels a thriving market in which the demand for rental units and new homes is expected to continue increasing. As they do in Manhattan and in the peninsular Bay Area, geographic and topographic barriers limit Seattle’s land supply and concentrate demand in thriving urban villages and neighboring suburbs. Over the last decade the Puget Sound region has outperformed the nation in employment, population, and personal income growth and enjoyed a commensurately low employment rate. A distinctly diverse, skilled, and educated workforce attracts high- profile corporations, both established and burgeoning, and the city has long been home to top-ranked research institutions. The local demographic includes educated high-income singles and dynamic two-career couples earning mid-to-upper-scale salaries. Aging Baby Boomers, the most affluent demographic category, make up over 40 percent of Seattle’s homeowning population.

  • Kark's Canoeing and Kayaking Guide to 309 Wisconsin Streams
    Kark's Canoeing and Kayaking Guide to 309 Wisconsin Streams By Richard Kark May 2015 Introduction A Badger Stream Love Affair My fascination with rivers started near my hometown of Osage, Iowa on the Cedar River. High school buddies and I fished the river and canoe-camped along its lovely limestone bluffs. In 1969 I graduated from St. Olaf College in Minnesota and soon paddled my first Wisconsin stream. With my college sweetheart I spent three days and two nights canoe- camping from Taylors Falls to Stillwater on the St. Croix River. “Sweet Caroline” by Neil Diamond blared from our transistor radio as we floated this lovely stream which was designated a National Wild and Scenic River in 1968. Little did I know I would eventually explore more than 300 other Wisconsin streams. In the late 1970s I was preoccupied by my medical studies in Milwaukee but did find the time to explore some rivers. I recall canoeing the Oconto, Chippewa, Kickapoo, “Illinois Fox,” and West Twin Rivers during those years. Several of us traveled to the Peshtigo River and rafted “Roaring Rapids” with a commercial company. At the time I could not imagine riding this torrent in a canoe. We also rafted Piers Gorge on the Menomonee River. Our guide failed to avoid Volkswagen Rock over Mishicot Falls. We flipped and I experienced the second worst “swim” of my life. Was I deterred from whitewater? Just the opposite, it seems. By the late 1970s I was a practicing physician, but I found time for Wisconsin rivers. In 1979 I signed up for the tandem whitewater clinic run by the River Touring Section of the Sierra Club’s John Muir Chapter.

  • Church Profile
    CHURCH PROFILE 503 North 50th St. Seattle, WA 98103 | www.emmanuelphinneyridge.org HISTORY When Emmanuel Tabernacle first laid it’s cornerstone on August 24, 1930, the Seattle Daily Times declared it to be a “Modern Church”. Perhaps it was the staggering price tag for the building ($35,000) in the midst of our country’s worst financial crisis that caused them to label it as such. However, when a thriving congregation of faithful young families soon filled those pews it was clear what that journalist had understood all along, Emmanuel was a church built for changing times. Now, nearly 85 years departed from the early days of Emmanuel, it is amazing to see how the story of this church played out through the years. Sunday school ministry was at first the focus of Emmanuel, building up a new generation to deal with troubling times in America and abroad. With a world at war, children and their young families learned that in order to serve a God as big as ours you must be willing go to all corners of the earth to spread the Good News of peace. Emmanuel would shift its ministry focus post-war toward World missions, at one time supporting over sixty missionaries across the globe. At its peak in the mid-1980s, this church was regarded as a leader among Seattle faith communities, with well over 1,200 regular attendees, along with the continued children’s and missions programs. We have changed over the years: we are now much smaller without children running around the building as was the case in the past.

Truthfully, our house would likely resemble a forlorn junk store without the necessary and mitigating oversight of my wife. Vintage anything connotes images of nostalgia, a stroll back to the way things used to be. Better? Not necessarily, but we all love to peer into the annals of time and reflect, ponder, and contemplate. Vintage Veritas not only has an alliterative ring to it, but communicates something more meaningful. Veritas is a Latin word meaning “truth.” The pursuit of truth has been the fancy of poets, philosophers, and theologians. In John 18, where we read of the arrest of Jesus and His subsequent interrogation by the governor, Jesus boldly declares His purpose for coming into the world – to bear witness to the truth. Pilate asks, “What is truth?” While the text doesn’t indicate Pilate sought an answer from Jesus, he did then declare, “I find no guilt in this man.” As we reflect on the truth of Scripture, the embodiment of truth is indeed found in a person: our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
