This week is likely the worst week for me to take a vacation all year but it was booked a while ago. So you likely won’t see any posts here until the middle of next week. If you any good condo news or gossip leave a comment here or Fini. Does anyone have any thoughts on that development or the developer (I believe it’s Murray Franklyn of Pine + Belmont fame)? I know relatively little about it other than at least one reader might have comments about the interior designer and that it will have killer views in all directions:
Also, what do you think the possibility of someone eventually building directly across form the south east corner of the Fini building? I would hate to pay top dollar for a view and then see it disappear in someone’s window.

UPCOMING CAPITOL HILL PANEL DISCUSSION: “SUSTAINING A VIBRANT AND DIVERSE NEIGHBORHOOD”
Here’s another opportunity to protest the kind of spirit-deflating architecture represented by the current Weber + Thompson plans for its mixed-use condo development “Belmont + Pine.”
****************
The nonprofit organization, Capitol Hill Housing (CHH) , the mission of which is to “meet the need for affordable housing and preserve neighborhood character in Seattle,” hosts its annual meeting and panel discussion:
Monday, 30-Apr-2007
6:00 p.m.
Northwest Film Forum
1515 Twelfth Avenue
Capitol Hill
The event, free and open to the public, will mix a little organizational business and a panel discussion about development and change for Capitol Hill.
The business items will be brief, but important. CHH elects two community members to its Board, provides a summary of the organization’ s activities for the year, and ratifies the selection of its independent auditor. People who are residents or property owners in Capitol Hill are eligible to vote.
The panel discussion, “Sustaining a Vibrant and Diverse Neighborhood,” will feature representatives of some current developments on Broadway, Pike-Pine, and 15th Avenue East. These projects are place makers for Capitol Hill’s future and include examples of new construction and preservation. Key points to be raised:
• How does the “market” see Capitol Hill?
• How do these new projects connect with Capitol Hill’s character?
The panel will be hosted by Channel 21 anchor and Capitol Hill resident, C.R. Douglas. He will also moderate a question and answer segment from the audience.
Space is limited. RSVP at rsvp@chhip.org.
