LOOK UP! Seattle Architectural Walking Tours

Monday, June 23rd, 2014

IMG_5840 city fxdOne day I signed up to go on a walking tour of the skyscrapers in Seattle by myself.  I learned so much about the city.  At the end, the guide said they are looking for more volunteer guides… so I signed up, did the training and now I have been leading tours!

Often when we head into the city we forget to LOOK UP!. We are so busy looking for parking, trying to find out which streets are one way, and avoiding pedestrians like we are playing a video game.  Each building contributes to the history of the city and how we interact with the built environment can have an impact on our experience in Seattle, today.

The information on the tour is relevant for real estate agents so I had it approved for continuing education.

For more information about the tours, contact me!


What would the “Jetson’s” think?

the jetsonsWhen I was a kid watching my favorite cartoon, “The Jetson’s” I used to imagine what the world would be like in the future.  Though I am a bit disappointed that I am not flying around in a crazy copter with a robotic maid and wearing those cute little creations that Judy wore… I am happy with where we are today.  The Seattle Space Needle was used as inspiration and I get to ride on the Monorail.  But, what George never really imagined was the internet and cell phone technology.  My life completely revolves around what is happening online.  I am completely lost without my cell phone and internet connection.  As I sit here writing a class about the future of the real estate industry, I have to imagine paperless transactions and video conversations.  But, wait!  We have those now.  What could be next?
