Whose Work is That? Page Through the New York Times and Catch a Glimpse of Seattle Stair & Design's Work

It's not often that you open up the pages of the New York Times and out pops gorgeous photos by Stuart Issett of your work. That's just what happened with Seattle Stair & Design whose craftspeople had a hand in those breathtaking stairs at the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.

And the photo with that stool, that practically screams out "modern Northwest aesthetic"?  Indeed, it's one of theirs too.

Read Seattle Stair & Design's blog to learn more. In the meantime, we're toasting to the joys of happy little surprises like this.

March 22 is World Water Day: Watch and Share This Video Please

Think about it, the water in our toilets is cleaner than the drinking water of nearly one billion people.

And on average, women walk 3.7 miles a day for water around the globe.

Watch this video with Matt Damon and Gary White and lend your voice to the cause, being championed by the good people over at Water.org.

Here locally, look for the blue lit arches of the Pacific Science Center in support of World Water Day.

World Water Day started in 1993 by the United Nations. While different groups use it to highlight different impacts of water on this day, Water.org uses the entire week to lift up their mission: sustainable safe water access for the nearly a billion people currently without it. Their goal is to make this a reality in our lifetime.

 

Dr. Richard Baxter Seattle DANCES Winner

Our favorite Renaissance doc proved once again that he’s a remarkable overachiever. Professionally Dr. Baxter is known as one of the leading plastic surgeon’s in the country, pioneering new techniques and technologies.


He’s an artist who sketches regularly, using his art education to inform the aesthetics of his surgery practice to achieve the natural look Northwesterners (and now others) prefer. He’s an anti-aging and beauty expert who travels the globe speaking about his book “Age Gets Better with Wine”, the go-to tome for those interested in the science behind the hype. He’s a foodie who was a finalist in Sunset Magazine’s recipe contest years ago for his turkey molé. And earlier this month Dr. Baxter added Argentinean tango dancer to his resume after winning the coveted Cyber Choice mirror ball trophy in Seattle’s version of “Dancing With The Stars” as a celebrity raising funds for Seattle’s chronically homeless through the annual Seattle Dances event. What’s next? We hesitate to ask; but we’ll be excited to find out.

Read about the event in Patti Payne’s recent article “Executives Dancing Up a Storm” in the Puget Sound Business Journal
