Sponsored by The Danforth

Owing its name to a style of anchor used to secure ships in harbor, The Danforth is a 16-story apartment tower on top of Seattle’s newest Whole Foods Market. Opening in July 2018, with pre-leasing starting in May, The Danforth sits at the apex of three distinct neighborhoods, anchoring the intersection of Broadway and Madison – connecting Capitol Hill, First Hill and Seattle University. 

The Danforth Experience Contest

The Danforth is giving you a chance to get in early by entering to win one of four unforgettable experiences – a getaway to Willows Inn on Lummi Island, a private party at the Frye Art Museum, a private screening at the Northwest Film Forum, or custom whiskey blending with OOLA Distillery – and more!

The contest is designed to introduce prospective tenants to some of the iconic cultural organizations and local businesses that make The Danforth’s neighborhood such a great place to live. For every entrant, The Danforth will donate $1 (up to $10,000) to one of three local non-profits that help make the neighborhood vibrant, including Artist Trust, Seattle Humane and the Country Doctors. Each non-profit will receive a minimum of $2,500.  Contest entrants can vote for the non-profit of their choice. The leading vote-getter will receive an additional $2,500. Find more information and enter the contest here.

With a wealth of amenities, including a rooftop greenhouse and community garden, a fully-stocked demonstration kitchen, fitness studio and communal spaces throughout, The Danforth invites interaction and relaxation.

Can Alaska Kelp Help Washington Crops Beat the Heat?

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

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

The Seattle project presents an out-of-the-box model, where investors are also residents, and the design focuses on longevity and tenant retention—not profit.

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…
