Spotlight on Ballard – 2014 Weekend Concerts at the Locks

120605-A-DT641-002

One of Seattle’s great destinations is the Hiram M. Chittenden Locks in the Ballard neighborhood. The locks connect the Lake Washington Ship Canal with the Puget Sound and have been in operation since 1916. During the summer you can also see the salmon travel up the fish ladder in the underwater viewing room.

Also on the ground is the Carl S. English Jr. Botanical Garden. After you are finished visiting the beautiful garden, bring a blanket or lawn chair and relax at a free concert. This summer the 25th Annual Concert Series begins Thursday May 29th, at 7:15 PM with the Seattle Civic Band – Marching music and Broadway songs. All other concerts occur Saturdays and Sundays at 2:00 PM. Concerts run through September 1st. Get there early to stake out your spot and enjoy!

Preparing your home for sale – 6 Easy ways to refresh and upgrade

Preparing your home for sale –  6 Easy ways to refresh and upgrade

1.  Uncover Hardwoods – Do you have hardwood floors under the carpet?  Hardwood floors are back in demand.  Consider removing your carpet to expose wood floors, combined with refinishing if necessary.

2.  Light Fixtures – Replacing older light fixtures with more modern, brighter, and energy efficient is one of the easiest things you can do.  This adds more warmth and friendliness to a room.

3.  Update Cabinet Hardware – This change can make a dramatic difference in the overall appearance of a room.  Hardware is relatively inexpensive and an easy do-it-yourself project.

4.  Replace Outlet Covers – This subtle change can add style to a room.  There are a wide variety of options to choose from and it can make a big impression.

5.  Painting – Painting walls and trim is the most obvious and dramatic way to change the mood of a room.  Take care to thoroughly prepare surfaces for a clean long-lasting finish.

6.  Potted Flowers – A pot of flowers on a front porch or step always looks welcoming. Planting a small evergreen in the center with annuals at the edges is an easy way to create a low maintenance pot that can be easily refreshed.
