Rainier Drive S. | www.mountbaker.org | 206.722.7209 RIDE MOUNT BAKER WITH A BIKE ROAD TRIP By Rebecca Laszlo, MBCC neighbor I am an avid biker and love finding interesting and scenic routes near my Mount Baker home. I have mapped out a dozen or so routes in and around the neighborhood that are worth sharing. The routes suggested in this ar- ticle are ideal for local exploring. Some zigzag along Mount Baker’s many ridges while some stick to the flats to avoid sweaty exertions (unless you want to push hard). They include a combination of regional trails without cars, quiet neighborhood streets likely to have just a few cars, and wide streets where cars can give you space. Continued on page 10 WELCOME TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD The MBCC Communications Committee recently sent out 150 welcome packets to our newest Mount Baker residents. We introduced ourselves, highlighted the many activities at the Clubhouse and told them a little about our 100-year legacy in the community. To neighbors old and new, we invite you all to stop by the Clubhouse to say hello! Come meet the staff and learn about all the fun ways you and your family can get involved in our community activities.

    WHERE DOES SEATTLE’S CREATIVE COMMUNITY GO FOR INSPIRATION? Allow us to introduce some of our city’s resident artists, who share with you, in their own words, some of their favorite places and why they choose to make Seattle their home. Known as one of the nation’s cultural centers, Seattle has more arts-related businesses and organizations per capita than any other metropolitan area in the United States, according to a recent study by Americans for the Arts. Our city pulses with the creative energies of thousands of artists who call this their home. In this guide, twenty-four painters, sculptors, writers, poets, dancers, photographers, glass artists, musicians, filmmakers, actors and more tell you about their favorite places and experiences.
