Rotoluxe Planters help make senior's dream, come true!

Wed, 05 Sep 2012 12:07:00 -0400

Bob James

Chancery Place apartments is owned and operated by Catholic Housing Services, (HUD), and serves a diverse population of low income seniors in 84 units, across the street from St. James Cathedral on Marion in downtown Seattle.

For years, long time resident Bob James envisioned a full scale garden gracing the roof top space atop the building. The sparse area had been sorely underutilized with an unattractive scattering of pots, but Bob knew it’s potential and never gave up hope. This year, Bob got his wish!

Funded through the 2008 Parks and Green Spaces Levy for Seattle Department of Neighborhoods P-Patch Community Gardening Program, $10,000 in funding was awarded to Chancery Place to construct the rooftop farm . The Levy set aside funding to build gardens with low income housing programs in partnership with housing providers; different from a traditional p-patch, Chancery Place and its residents will be responsible for managing their garden.

Laura Raymond, Seattle Department of neighborhoods

Up until this point, seniors interested in gardening there were limited to a few small buckets filled with soil and a few plants. There was so much interest when residents learned they could be assigned their own P. Patch containers, all were reserved before they were even installed.

Despite having to haul 4 yards of soil in small containers, via hallways and an elevator to reach the roof top destination, an inspired gathering of residents and volunteers got the job done in just one day!

Cindy Streltzov, Program Director for Chancery, says “Residents will really benefit from this garden, not only we will be bringing beauty to our outdoor space, but residents can grow their own vegetables which are expensive at stores. We hope to donate extra food grown to our neighborhood food banks.”

Volunteer Michael Seliiga, Edible Landscapes, designed the roof top garden

Not only does Chancery Place now have a wonderful roof top farm, it’s a magnificent inviting outdoor gathering and green space amongst the brick, steel and glass of Seattle’s surrounding skyline. Topping off Bob’s dream, Chancery’s new garden brings grace to all others who have the privilege of looking upon it from their office windows and surrounding perches.

Volunteers and residents on planting day

Chancery Place community garden project is a partnership between the Just Garden Project, Catholic Housing Services, and the Seattle Department of Neighborhoods. The garden was designed through community process with the help of Cascadian Edible Landscapes, Rotoluxe, Chancery Place staff, residents and volunteers, and the Just Garden Project.

The "GIRL" in the Mirror

Sat, 07 Jan 2012 21:12:00 -0500

Move over Michael Jackson, and make way for this double delight of Karen Earl. Seen here sporting her new EM Trinity back lit mirror, which she recently won as the lucky raffle winner at the NEWH Awards event in November.

Karen was just as impressed with the attention to detail Electric Mirror takes with their packaging, as they take with the mirrors themselves! Hey, these details are pretty exciting for designers who want to make sure their specifications arrive safely onsite, and in perfect condition.

Karen Earl, a lovely and renowned hospitality designer in Seattle, is already a big fan of Electric Mirror. Karen specified EM’s Reflection mirror (shown below), to set the stage in the baths for the “modern fun and eclectic” Maxwell Hotel. A Pineapple Hospitality property, located in the heart of Seattle’s vibrant performing arts district.

Congratulation Karen, and thanks again for being such a great supporter for Electric Mirror. It is our pleasure to honor you as the winner!

Congratulations also to Grace Machado, our 2011 “Mirror of the Year Winner” To see the story and more installations click on http://marthaslinelist.tumblr.com/electricmirror

NEWH Casino Golf Tournament - A "Jolly Good Time!"

Mon, 22 Aug 2011 18:51:00 -0400

Event creator and golf gambling legend Stephanie Ellis, seen here with fellow event organizers Erin Broadhead and Katie Newell – set the perfect tone for the extremely serious and highly prestigious competition.

7 teams battled it out on the course, as the beer cart caddies struggled to keep the players on course in this high stakes event. Team 3 missed an entire hole and had to return (find?) number 5, to avoid elimination. No names please….

In the end, the pink socked team from Pental scored the amazing winning hand that took home the goody bags!

Thanks again to all the hardworking volunteers for NEWH and all the supporters for another great event.
