Sold Out Game – Seattle Thunderbirds vs. Everett Silvertips 01/03/2009

Seattle Thunderbirds Hockey Club is set to play for the first time in their new home at ShoWare Center in Kent tonight against the Everett Silvertips in front of a sell out crowd. The new Kent events center hosted a Grand Opening yesterday for the public to tour the entertainment facility for free. The brand new building is reportedly the first of its kind in terms of being Green and will provide a venue for sports, entertainment and other events.

“ShoWare Center is the first sports and entertainment facility in the U.S. to be designed and constructed to LEED® Silver Certification standards”- http://www.showarecenter.com/venue/green_building

Seattle T-Birds Hockey Club website provides information about the inaugural game, their new ShoWare Center home, schedules, players and other news and links that may be especially interesting to hockey fans.

Seattle Area Snowfall

The weather forecasted rain on the way to Western Washington with increased warming but there still were plenty of snowflakes over Mountlake Terrace the day after Christmas as you'll see in the video below. Other areas around Seattle did experience some rain and rain/snow mixtures to set the predicted meltdown in motion.

High School Basketball Season '08-'09 is underway.
Tuesday I attended a game at Seattle Prep and can report the fans were out in full force for the Season Opener again this year.

Bleachers on both sides of the gym resonated with team spirit as you’ll hear in the clip below shot from my vantage point just above O'Dea's bench as the Varsity Starting Line-Ups were announced. Final: Seattle Prep 52 - O'Dea 47

the corner of it’s Lynnwood, WA location.

Wight’s Home and Garden is one of my favorite places to stop, shop and get inspired anytime of year but especially during the holiday season –with a floral department, nursery, gifts and pieces to spice the home or garden.

Their "Wonderland of Christmas” began November 1st this year with elaborate displays, collectibles, ornaments and decor - that have traditionally made a quick visit – translate to at least an hour for me. Creativity fills the place which is evident even before going inside, through the window and their lighted corner landscape.
