Kettle Corn, Kathi, and Pirates…Oh My!
Step right up Seattle. Magnolia is once again hosting a Seafair Weekend not to be missed.
The annual Magnolia Summerfest will be held July 29th and July 30th 2011. Magnolia residents put this weekend on their calendar as it is always a charming slice of summer.
Friday July 29th kicks off the event with live music, street food, an art exhibit, and puppet shows for the kids. The grassy area next to the Magnolia Community Center provides ample room for the various bouncy houses that help burn off that insanely addictive kettle Corn.
On Saturday, July 20th, the Magnolia Summerfest weekend continues at 10:30 starting with the children’s parade. This kid’s parade is one of the largest in the city. Break out the cardboard and streamers and turn those trikes into floats! Put your dog in a costume; wear a funny hat, whatever works. But hey, ya gotta throw candy.
After the cameras are put away, families enjoy the main parade. This year the parade is hosted by beloved Seattle newscaster Kathi Goertzen. This classic parade is a mix of high school marching bands, vintage cars, Seattle drill teams, and the Safari Pirates. The pirates are a Seattle Institution and really make the parade memorable. In a nod to the many children in attendance, the quiet zone allows younger ears to avoid the Pirate’s cannons which can be deafening. And, it is really sweet to see a fierce pirate turn soft with the little ones in the quiet zone.
Once the parade is over, mingle with friends over street food, enjoy the art show, or watch a puppet show with the kids.
All in all, a great weekend in Magnolia.

Magnolia View Homes Have Some Of Seattle’s Best Views!
Magnolia is one of the larger neighborhoods in Seattle, although many do not initially think of it that way. This might be because there are lots of little sections of Magnolia – The Magnolia Village is probably the most popular. It is right on and around McGraw Street between the A and B hills if you are heading West before you hit the Magnolia Bluff. To the North is Lands End East of Discovery Park.
Because of Magnolia’s proximity to both the Puget Sound and Downtown Seattle, as well as being South of Ballard, Sunset Hill, and Salmon Bay, there are lots of view homes and many different areas of Magnolia to choose from for these homes. I wanted to focus mainly on Puget Sound and city views. Here are the Magnolia view homes numbers….
Active Magnolia View Homes
As for active Magnolia view homes for sale, there are 41 homes for sale in the MLS right now that have either city or Puget Sound views. These are priced between $269,000 and $6,970,000 with a median price of $1,230,000. The majority of these are priced over a million dollars. The average days on market for this Magnolia real estate is 180 days.

Seattle’s 2011 Green Home Tour
Seattle is anticipating it’s first annual Northwest Eco Building Guild Green Home Tour. See the latest in sustainable housing, techniques, ideas and inspirations. The South Sound chapter had great success with their tour last year, and the Seattle chapter is expected to exceed their success the first time out of the gate.
There will be three clustered areas. The first inNorth Seattle, second on the Eastside of Lake Washington, and the third in South Seattle. The featured properties will all be different, and incorporate different aesthetics and different techniques for achieving a “Green” status.
It’s a great way to see what all this fuss is about if you are just curious, if you are in the market to purchase, or if you are seriously looking for tangable ideas on how to build your own Eco Friendly house. You are bound to meet some of the local leaders in the industry, many of which are members of the Guild.
The tour will be on April 16th and 17th, you may want to attend both days if you want to see all the houses on the tour!
Stay tuned for more information.
I’m here at my Seattle houseboat open house on the glorious Westlake Cove. I open up both Float C and Float D and welcome people who stop by.
 Westlake Cove Dock Many people ask me what living on a floating home is like. I tell them, with skepticism in their eyes, that it’s one of the coolest communities you can possibly find. No, I don’t live on one myself but I do appreciate them. If I had to clock in, I’d say I’m close to full time on a floating home between showings, open houses, and writing about them.
To me, floating homes signify tidiness. Square footage and space are a privilege (which I also like). So to live on a floating home you either:
- Like water, views, boating, kayaking (the obvious)
- Like to live simply
- Like the solitude when you want it or the friendly neighbors when you need it. Happy hour on Float F anyone?
- Like to bike. Many bike commuters since Lake Union is in the heart of north-south, east-west.
- Like creative gardening
- Like to boat to your dinner reservations
- And finally like individuality
Insuring floating homes aren’t tough. There are three reputable companies in Seattle who welcomes floating home insurers.
There are things to know about financing floating homes. Again, using a local resource (we have our favorites) is essential so feel free to contact us to share some of the resources with you. homes@SeattleAfloat.com
We look forward to talking to you!
