Call for artwork for Chief Sealth Trail

from the Office of Arts and Cultural Affairs eNewsletter

"The Office, in partnership with the Seattle Department of Transportation, seeks an artist to create an artwork for the second phase of the Chief Sealth Trail, which connects the city's Beacon Hill neighborhood with the Rainier Valley in Southeast Seattle. Work to extend the multipurpose trail west of Beacon Avenue South will begin this summer, with completion expected by the end of the year. The artwork—intended to mark the trail extension and enliven the streetscape—will be located where the trail will cross Beacon Avenue South at South Dawson Street.

The call is open to professional artists residing in Washington, Oregon, California, Montana or Idaho. The project budget is $50,000. Application deadline is 11 p.m., Tuesday, March 16. To preview the call and a link to the online application. "

Pancakes, bacon, eggs and the greatest coffee in the world all were the featured fun 'stuff' for this morning's monthly CC brunch.

We had a wonderful time laughing, talking, hanging out and getting closer with the people we love.

For those of you that you were here … THANKS! We loved having you join us. Come back next month and bring some friends.

We will be hosting a number of brunches throughout this year.

Hi! Yes I do. Please call me at #206-355-1164. I do everything!

Hi Keith,

do you do any tile removal, pull out carpet, or baseboard replacement?

I'm Bob and Lynn's neighbor. Keith Floyd took the scraps of Bob and Lynn's fence and changed my partially-fenced front yard into a fully-fenced yard. His work is great. He's on time and does what he says he will. I would definitely use him again for any work in and around my house. You should too. Give him a call at 206.355.1164.

We initially asked Keith about removing an iron fence in our front and back yards. The fence in back had been knocked over by a car, and we figured we would remove it and start over with a new fence.

But Keith told us about his background in metal work and suggested he could rebuild the fence using the original sections. In just two days, he was able to remove the fence in front, and bend and weld the backyard fence back into shape. The gate even closes and latches smoothly in place as if it was all installed at the same time.

Keith is friendly, prompt, very reasonably priced and takes great care with the work area. We wish all repairs were this easy.

Today's DJC looks at Rob Mohn's latest proposal, a three-story hotel.

This would be an addition, tucked into the space between the Shirley Marvin apartments (two stories on the right) and the gray house to the east, on S Edmunds St. The apartments would also be converted to hotel units.

Rob's had a lot of demand for his "Last Loft", and I imagine he's thinking of neighbors' visiting relatives, and out-of-towners looking for a real place within easy reach of SeaTac.

The DJC article is for subscribers only — I'd be interested to read the rest.

Hey Amelia glad to see you and steve are happy with your new tub. Thanks for the review and you can talk to me regarding the office space @ (206) 355-1164. Thanks again Keith

Hi - we had a new wonderful bathtub installed by Keith and just want to say he did a wonderful job. It looks like it was built with the house, he did it quick, picked it up from the store, and even threw in a garbage disposal fix while he was here! It is hard to find a great fix it person, so no need to look any further!

Hi - i am interested in your office space, do you have more information? where and how much? thanks! :)

My wonderful two-bedroom home is available for a short-term furnished rental between April 1, 2010 and July 1, 2010 while I am out of the country.

The home is conveniently located in Columbia City within an easy walk to the light rail, Lake Washington, the PCC grocery store, and all the wonderful restaurants in Columbia City. There are several bus lines close by and getting to downtown or I-90 is a snap. My home has warm oak wood floors, large windows, a full laundry room, a spacious garage, and a wonderful garden. There is a full kitchen and a fenced yard and is comfortably furnished.

I would like to find responsible, non-smoking renters (i.e., pay bills on time, keep the property clean, etc.) who will enjoy and respect the home. It would be wonderful if you liked to garden too! I will consider pets on a case-by-case basis as well as partial work-rent trade. Rent would be $1500/month.

I look forward to hearing from you!

Please contact me at 360.927.0482 or moc.liamg|yelruhneelhtakm#moc.liamg|yelruhneelhtakm for more information.

I read in Ideasforseattle that there are 30 cops on Lake Union. I can't believe there's that much crime!!! Maybe we can get a dozen of them reassigned to patrol around here. I know I'd feel better walking to the market if I knew there were some cops around!!!

Gosh, how did this go? Sounds interesting!
