Clever, Collaborative Construction Gal

Our kids from Oregon were here over Christmas week. We spent most of one day in  the Imagine Children’s Museum in Everett, Washington.

Much of the time our older granddaughter was the concierge at the restaurant. She would invite people in, help them find a seat and take their order. We agreeably went in, but the service was terrible and the food tasted like hard plastic. None of the chefs seemed to be coordinated.

So we moved on. But she stayed, interacting happily with strangers as they came in.

Later, when it was time for an afternoon snack, we all went down to the basement where there were real tables and real chairs and ate the snacks that the moms had wisely packed.

Off from the eating area in the basement is a large room called simply, Construction Studio. It was marvelous! Lots of little plastic yellow hard hats, and little orange construction aprons. But the central feature were lots and lots of foam bricks. Oh what fun!

Consistent with her personality, our granddaughter soon had several people coordinated, and helping her build a giant igloo. I whipped out my video camera to catch it being built - and its predictable demise!

The Laser Diffusion Projector

My older grandson is fascinated by anything mechanical or digital.

Last time he was with us he discovered Google Earth and was transfixed by exploring the world. Soon he was in outer space with Google Sky and doing things and finding things that I had never discovered.

This last visit all of us spent most of a day at the Imagine Children’s Museum in Everett, Washington. Many of the places were exciting. But the place he kept going back to was this room where your image was projected on the screen. Delayed, distorted, in varying colors, with a kaleidoscope effect.

It was amazing to all of us.

And transfixing for him.

Airplanes, Hydroplanes and Paleontological Plains

Our whole family was together for the week of Christmas. On Wednesday, the three families converged on the Imagine Children’s Museum in Everett Washington. It is an amazing place!

Our oldest grandson who is 7, was fascinated by many of the areas.

Here he is, playing in the mock airplane with an amazing cockpit. This is Boeing country, of course, so all the components were from real airplanes.




The next display is a water feature. Of course it is decorated like one of our numerous and amazing Washington State Ferries. They even had available splash aprons for the kids. Someone was thinking!

We went up to the roof of the building. It is a flat roof that had been completely utilized. We spent lots of time in the dinosaur area, especially with a box that made scary dinosaur sounds!

Sitting on the shores of Port Garner Bay overlooking the Olympic Mountain range is a great city called Everett WA.  Everett is full of wonderful historic builidings and historic homes.  Real Estate in Everett is a little bit of Historic to New Construction a little bit for everyone.  Downtown Everett is full of many unique shops and in the center Hub of it all is the Comcast Arena which home of Everett Silvertips Hockey team and Everett's newest professional indoor Lacross team the Washington Stealth. 

One of the great features of Everett is our waterfront that along with the second largest marina on the West Coast its the home of Naval Station Everett which means homeport for the USS Abraham Lincoln, Momsen, Shoup, Ford, Davis and the Ingraham. 

I can't forget Everett is also the home of the Boeing Company that manufactures in Everett the 747,767,777, and the new Dreamliner 787.  At the Boeing plant you will find the largest building in the world by volume at 116.5 million cubic feet.  Be sure to take a tour of the Boeing plant when you are in town.

HVCC is not just an industry issue it is a consumer issue. In previous blogs over the past year I have been critical of the Attorney General of New York - Cuomo and I speculated early on he was laying out resume material for the furtherance of his political career...I was right. No individual or state for that matter should be able to have such an incomprehensable impact on small business's(the appraisal industry) taking money -literal theft out of the appraiser and dictating to them how they do their business. Remarkable.

I hope the National Association of Realtors (membership) and the consumer start googling to find out who represents them and drop a note as to why this should be stopped. Share your story....

The link below is a parity however it is factually correct.

I wish us all well.
