I was surprised to see this $1.3m, brand new Capitol Hill house at 2200 Broadway E pending in 3 days. Or maybe I shouldn’t be. Nothing is for sale so good shit goes fast.

Tom Kundig North Capitol Hill Home

Wow, this Tom Kundig home in North Capitol Hill at 1067 Blaine St is AMAZING. I love the contrast of the steel, white walls, wood floors and greenery outside. Even has a pool for those two months of the year when it is nice out :). Not cheap at $2.175m and not family friendly at… Read More

Fabric Facade

A house on 15th Ave in Capitol Hill is turning heads for its colorful appearance and interesting use of fabric for its facade.  At the heart of this yarn is…yarn.
