"A New Leif"


This Leif Erikson statue stands tall in a Nordic neighborhood. Some non-Seattle Scandinavians object that he is facing west, toward the Pacific Ocean. They must think he is the actual guy, not a symbolic statue. 




"Women's Roller Derby, Seattle "

"Seattle's Property Values-$500,000. It's not really a house, and it has no yard."


A $405,000 offer was turned down for this "house," a former boat house, now a shell, on zero acres, in Ballard, 10 miles north of downtown Seattle. It needs a new roof and new wooden pilings to rest on, and after that, you'll have to fix it up. But boy, what a view!
