A Sunset Hill local has decided to run a triathlon (26 miles running, 26 miles biking and 1 mile swimming) in honor of her friend and to raise money for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. She recently set up a blog where you can learn more about her training and donate to the cause:

Professional Photography for Your Listing
Do you have a truely remarkable home? I’ve found one of the best ways to bring out the special charactoristics of a home is by bringing in a professional photographer. My favorate photographer to use is Wendy Baker Photography. She does amazing work!
To see some of the work that she can do bringing out architectural details, check out her architecture gallery. Or check out some photos from a listing I recently sold in Sunset Hill.
Are you interested in having a professional photographer of this caliber on your side when you list your home? I offer this service to all my remarkable homes!
Community Calendar
I’ve recently added a Ballard Community Calendar to my website. I created this calendar out of frustration with missing many events in Ballard that I was just not well publicized. I would really like to have all the interesting Ballard events in one place. Hence, I decided to build the calendar! It can be found here:

Would you be interested in adding to and/or updating this calendar? Email me and I’ll set you up with a login and password so that you can update the calendar. Or, if you prefer, just email me the event and I’ll post it on the calendar!
Where did I get the events that are currently listed?
I populatd the calendar with events that I culled from the websites listed below. Are you aware of another website that I should check periodically to see if it has been updated? Leave a comment and I’ll check that site as well!

Slightly more technical
I chose to use WebCalendar for a variety of reasons. Some of the reasons include:
- The calendar database is compatible with the database I’m running for this blog (as a matter of fact, they are actually running off the same database!
- It is open source software.
- It appears to be getting frequent updates and has a development community that appears to be quite active. in practical terms this means I can go to forums like this one on SourceForge and get my questions answered
- It has the ability to separate events out by categories and users. This is nice if we ever decide to have mulitple types of users, then users can easily filter to the events that interest us most!
If you have any interest and/or ideas about how to add to the Ballard Community Calendar, then please leave comments or contact me.
March Sunset Hill Real Estate Newsletter
For people interested in the Sunset Hill market, I’ve just posted the March edition of my newsletter here:
March 2005 Newsletter. Note that this file is quite large (about 1 Mb), so if you have a dial-up connection, it will work best if you “right-click” on the link and use the “save link as” feature to save it directly to your hard-drive.
In addition to listing the sale prices for various homes within the neighborhood, I always try to give some good tips and/or advice on the local real estate market. If you would like to receive a hard-copy of my monthly newsletter (or simply an email notification when a new version is available for downloading), just let me know by emailing me.
