The 30-acre section of the park used to be filled with more than 60 military homes owned by the Navy before it was purchased for $13 million by the City of Seattle in 2010, according to Friends of Discovery Park president Philip Vogelzang.

  • Get More Bang for Your Buck With These Spring Home Improvements

    (StatePoint) The warmer weather means it’s time to start thinking about home improvement projects.

  • Is My Frozen Shrub Dead?

    After an extraordinarily cold winter in Western Washington, many garden owners will want to know what to do about the damage to many of our not-completely-hardy shrubs. With many of our broadleaf evergreens, it’s common for their leaves to turn brown or black and eventually fall off. The plants themselves are probably still alive. To check, use a hand-pruner blade to peel back a little bit of the “skin” to see if the cambium layer just beneath is alive (green) and not dead (brown). If alive, it’ll probably flush out with a new set of leaves. So, don’t panic if your shrub looks dead. Wait and see.

  • On those chilly Seattle mornings, heated floors are worth the hype

    On those chilly Seattle mornings, heated floors are worth the hype

    If you’ve ever felt the warmth of a heated floor on a cold, rainy Seattle day, then you know it makes a big difference in your comfort level. There are few people who wouldn’t appreciate the added warmth in their home during cooler months, especially when they learn that heated floors are relatively energy-efficient.
