I decided to take a different (fresh and fun) approach to marketing some of my listings- this is the first of many so let me know what you think!
I am hosting a series of fashion shoots in a select group of properties changing themes and styles to match each home. This particular shoot was at the home I have listed for lease in Magnolia- click here for more details!
Fashion photographer, Michelle Moore, coordinated the models, hair and makeup, while the clothes were provided by Fremont’s MERGE. Thanks to everyone involved for your help and participation!
You might catch a better look of the spread in this month’s DLIST Magazine or Belltown Messenger!

Kerry Sear, the owner and chef of Cascadia Restaurant in Belltown is selling the space where the restaurant is located (2328 First Ave- 1st between Bell and Battery) and transitioning to the Four Seasons Hotel and Private Residences to become the executive chef of the hotel and director of food and beverage for the hotel and residences.
The restaurant is listed for $1.25 million but Sear is not interested in selling the name or menu. Prior to owning and operating Cascadia, Sear spent 15 years working with Four Seasons in Vancouver B.C, Toronto and Seattle, and will continue to focus on Northwest cuisine with ingredients from local markets, ranchers and farmers.
Cascadia will remain open until the space sells so if you are looking forward to their awesome Happy Hour (mini-burgers, my fav) on a beautiful summer evening…you better not waste anytime!

The event will be open to the public and the official ribbon cutting will be at 1pm. Light refreshments, live music and beverages will be served, visit the 5th and Madison website for more details.
A few Green Plaza benefits:

• Open to the public during the day
• Cisterns sunk into existing underground parking capture rainwater to satisfy all exterior landscaping needs
• Lushly landscaped with drought tolerant and native plants and a water channel with waterfall.
• This park-like space helps offset the “heat island effect”.
• The green plaza is actually a green roof over the parking garage and retail space.
• A green roof helps filter pollutants and carbon dioxide out of the air.
