These people must REALLY like Thanksgiving. I usually save my decorations for Christmas, but it's fun seeing someone really get in the spirit.

Old views of I-90 Floating Bridge

Floating Bridge, originally uploaded by Facing West.

Here's a great old postcard of the I-90 Floating Bridge looking East from Seattle to Bellevue. It was almost a wooded scene in the background, so different than today. It's hard to find these old postcards nowsdays.

But finding your dream home in Seattle has never been easier. You'll want to research loans and home mortgages. Clean up your credit if necessary. Plan on getting home insurance. And research homes using the Home Search on Seattle Dream Homes.

Building with plastic bottles

Building with plastic bottles, originally uploaded by bryanilona.

The U.S. discards 13 million tons of plastic annually — more than 12% of our overall waste — and barely 7% of the plastic we discard is recycled. The biggest proportion of that plastic waste comes in the form of plastic bottles (beverages as well as personal care products, cleansers and the like) and packaging. How about a plastic bottle greenhouse? Or a colorful outdoor wall? That’s what this sewage treatment plant in Scotland tried, to great effect:

I wish I had come across this idea years ago when I was more involved in schools and community art projects.
I have done a lot of strange things with recycling plastic drinks bottles, but why did I never think of building walls?
These were used to screen off a natural sewage treatment area for the Fife Earthship where plants were used , but I also saw a large greenhouse built with these.........which got me thinking...................
The trouble is I don't really drink fizzy pop to get the bottles!

Green Lake photo set by Wonderlane

Local photographer and artist Linda Lane has taken some beautiful photos of Green Lake, really capturing the essence of this urban neighborhood. Green Lake is such an architecturally diverse neighborhood, with small worker cottages from the turn of the century, to Victorian mansions to giant modern homes overlooking the lake, plus some affordable condo's and townhomes. Starting prices are around the $300K range, going all the way up to $1M.
