At a future point in time, your parents will struggle with tasks that were once easy. The likely sphere where you’ll first intercede: The business transactions of daily living – crunching numbers, balancing check books, managing investments, and paying bills.

Before giving your support to Sound Transit 3, the $50 billion plan to expand light rail (and add $400-$500 to the average annual property tax), we ask you to closely review the arguments of those urging a no vote on this measure.
When Sheila Fitzgerald, lifelong resident of Madison Park, went hiking in northern Portugal some years back, along one of the many trails that lead to the shrine of Santiago de Compostel, she made a discovery that was gustatory rather than spiritual: The fine olive oil produced at a small grove of olive trees along her path.
The experience of being a new mom can be both fulfilling and challenging. In the latter category, hormone changes, fluid retention and the sudden addition of new physical demands such as lifting and carrying the newborn often lead to a painful condition known as “baby wrist.” Changing diapers, breastfeeding and lifting the child can all become nearly impossible due to pain and weakness related to this condition.
The flare-up about the sale of City People’s and the effort to stop the construction of a building with a PCC market reminds me of a similar effort in Madison Park several years ago.

You don’t know me yet but I’m the new editor of the Madison Park Times. Vera Chan-Pool was in charge of this fine publication for a long time and I’m sure she left some large shoes to fill. I haven’t found them yet, but the smell around my desk is… I don’t want to go into it, I just know they’re there, OK?
The president of the architectural firm hired to design a multi-use building on the site of City People’s Garden Store says he wants to be “a better neighbor” to the residents and business owners of Madison Valley.
Mayor Ed Murray hosted Livability Night Out last week, starting a conversation with residents, businesses, developers and city department heads concerning the Housing Affordability and Livability Agenda (HALA) for the city.
Here in Seattle, we want everything now. While that might not have always been the case, this constantly expanding metropolis now dictates we be in a constant state of impatience.
