  Our family loves fireworks. A fascination for sparkly lights and thunderous explosions takes us north every year for Canada day. Our destination of choice is Victoria, BC. Similar to Seattle, Victoria is a city that can be approached by boat, however, that’s about where the similarities end.  Seattle with several high-rises adorning its skyline is quite impressive when approached by boat but can often times feel cold to a pedestrian. Grey weather and tall buildings lack softness at ground level...

Ballard Food Bank

The economic crisis has shown us how fragile the line is between economic health and hardship. Economic strife helps us to see food bank customers not as vagrants, but as our neighbors, ourselves. Ballard Food Bank has always promoted this idea; its motto is “Neighbors helping neighbors.” To better serve their mission, Ballard Food Bank recently made the move from a cramped and inefficient space to a new location along Leary Avenue NW. As their architect, I had the pleasure...
