Click here for the blog about Greenwood Phinney
Phinney Ridge, also known simply as Phinney, is a neighborhood in north central Seattle, Washington, USA. It is named after the ridge which runs north and south, separating Ballard from Green Lake, from approximately N. 45th to N. 85th Street. The ridge, in turn, is named after Guy C. Phinney, lumber mill owner and real estate developer, whose estate was bought by the city and turned into Woodland Park in 1899. Phinney’s estate had included a private menagerie, and the western half of the park became what is now the Woodland Park Zoo.

Click Here For The Blog about Edmonds
Edmonds is the oldest incorporated city in Snohomish County. Logger George Brackett founded Edmonds in 1890, naming the city either for Vermont Sen. George Franklin Edmunds[4] or in association with the nearby Point Edmund, named by Charles Wilkes in 1841 and later changed to Point Edwards.[5] Brackett came to the future site of Edmonds while paddling a canoe north of Seattle, searching for timber. When a gust of wind hit his canoe, Brackett beached in a location later called “Brackett’s Landing”.[6] The town was named Edmonds in 1884, but was not incorporated until 1890 as an official “village fourth class” of Snohomish County. In that same year, Brackett sold 455 acres to the Minneapolis Realty and Investment Company. The town was plotted and a wharf was added along the waterfront. Modest houses and commercial structures sprouted up with a row of shingle mills dominating the cityscape. In 1891, the Great Northern Railroad came through and early settlers and investors grew hopeful that Edmonds would prosper. Unfortunately, the Panic of 1893 created business setbacks and the town owners foreclosed. Brackett reclaimed his town and along with other early settlers continued to develop its infrastructure. By 1900 there was regular passenger ferry service available by the steam-powered “mosquito fleet” of private ferryboats from Edmonds to Seattle.

I am a full time real estate agent working in the Edmonds, Lynnwood, Mountlake Terrace and Shoreline Communities. My passion over the last 25 years, however, has been my involvement with the Masonic community. From involvement with DeMolay to service as Past-Master, I cannot think of anything, outside of my family, that has had a greater impact on my life than the great people I have met and the experiences I have had within the Masonic fraternity. I offer this resource in an attempt to share with others the gifts I have received from the relationship. I fund my passion with your kind real estate referrals which allow me the freedom to participate actively in social & fund-raising events and to provide this resource to our community?
