Daily Find
In late January 2000, Pacific Northwest magazine profiled
lifelong Georgetown resident Jon Dove, that year's grand-prize winner
of the Arboretum Foundation's Pacific Northwest Garden contest. The
garden of his towering 1905 home was resplendent with lush foliage,
prolific roses and an onion-dome-shaped privet. Now Dove and more than 20 of his neighbors are busily sprucing up their gardens for the 13th annual Georgetown Art and Garden Walk, which takes place Sunday, July 13.

Five years ago, Renee Pound looked all over Seattle for a place to build her glass-art studio. She tried the usual haunts, including Belltown, then six months into the search came upon Ballard.
"I walked by this little garage with a handwritten for-lease note on the door, and I knew that was it," she recalls. "It was called Larry's Auto, and we still get their mail!"
On the corner of Northwest Market Street and Leary Avenue Northwest, the business is now Art by Fire, with a gallery in front and giant ovens in back for blowing glass.

The Olympic West Arttrek is not your ordinary art walk. No strolling from studio to studio. No sipping wine with artsy types in ritzy galleries. No mere three-hour investment of time.
This is a tour that requires driving, planning and, to do it all, at least a couple of days.
The self-guided tour was created in 1993 to lead visitors to arts, crafts, antiques, shops and gifts, from Kalaloch to Neah Bay to Lake Crescent, a distance of about 150 miles.
