Dreamy Bedrooms with Even Dreamier Views
Getting out of bed is hard enough. Imagine if you had one of these majestic views
Long ago, in a far away land called Ohio, I had a friend (OK, fine, boyfriend) whose parents had a house along the Ohio River. The home rested on a portion of the river that was so serene, so escape-like that I just couldn’t wait to pack an overnight bag, drive the 20 or so minutes it took to get there and play cards and drink beer on the wraparound deck and then build a beach fire once it got dark. Sleeping was even better (sorry, Kyle’s parents) since the bedroom had windows that overlooked the water and I adored waking up to the sounds of barges floating along.
While that house was certainly a far cry from the vista-blessed beauties from Porch.com that you see below, nothing beats a room with a view.

Can Alaska Kelp Help Washington Crops Beat the Heat?
A Ketchikan company is working with WSU researchers to see whether its kelp-based biostimulant can help grapes and berries withstand environmental stress.
From the floatplane, reddish-brown kelp traces the edges of the small islands between Ketchikan and Prince of Wales Island like brushstrokes on the surface of the water. Up close, on a rare 70-degree July day in Alaska, the kelp is glossy and beautiful, though the wind coming off the water makes it nearly impossible to…
PlantCon Is Coming for Seattle’s Windowsills
The nation’s largest gathering for houseplant lovers makes its Pacific Northwest debut this August with 200 booths, hands-on workshops, and a DJ.
My house is full of plants, enough that I’ve lost count. Houseplants have the same suspicious math as tattoos: One is rarely the final number. I propagate cuttings in jars of water, regularly rearrange corners of the house in pursuit of better light, and like to imagine the entire collection is improving the air. That…

Better Together: This Take on Co-Housing Emphasizes Quality and Community

Growing up in rural Detroit, Chad Dale spent many after-school and weekend hours playing with neighborhood kids in an open lot near his house. It’s an experience he always hoped his children would have someday, but by the time he became a father in Seattle, land was at a premium: either already developed or prohibitively…
