Because, as it turns out, one of the homes used to be my owned by my husband Michael’s family!

Featured in last Sunday’s Pacific Magazine, this cool Mount Baker home was always called “the tile house” (I thought they were joking, but now I get it – scroll through the fascinating photos in the magazine). This December 7 I plan to finally get inside the house and see it for myself. From what they tell me, the house has some wonderful additional features the article doesn’t mention.

The Mount Baker Home Tour takes place every two years, and is sponsored by the Mount Baker Community Club. Tickets are available through Brown Paper Tickets, and the 6 homes on tour are open from 10 to 4 on Saturday, December 7. There are shuttle vans cruising through the neighborhood, so you don’t have to drive and park/drive and park/drive and park…unless you want to.

And just to bring things full circle, from some of the homes on the tour you’ll be able to see Lake Washington, where we row (and train for the Head of the Charles Regatta – see “Where Have I Been Part 2”!

If you can’t make it over to Mount Baker, keep your eyes open for other fascinating tours throughout NEXT year: The Green Home tour, Seattle Modern Home, and the classic (exteriors only) tours of Queen Anne.
