Wine, nibbles and art! We're throwing a party tonight!

As the self-styled "resident green agent" of High Point and West Seattle, and as a long-time blogger here, there and including Green Spaces Real Estate.com, I have opened a small operations center for my GreenWorks Realty business,on Harbor Avenue. My spiffy and eco-fashionable office has taken up residency in Suite 104 of the ActivSpace building (on the Alki Trail at 3400 Harbor Ave SW).



We are throwing a "cocktail party" via a Facebook event page to show off the new office, which has been taken from a blank-slate "white wall & concrete floor" space to a showcase of small-space usage of green building materials. Steve has put a ton of work in to space planning, painting, and moving along with some other people (as orchestrated by me). It's been painted using Devine low VOC paint (Hosta and Macadamia), has salvaged bamboo flooring, and the custom-built furniture is made of wheatboard.










The cocktail/grand opening party is running in conjunction with Thursday evening's art walk from 6-9 pm. I am featuring two different artists - Michael Eric Dennett, a talented potter I took a wheel throwing class from a few years ago,




and Delores Johnston Peck, aka Lella Rae of Lella Rae Designs, a West Seattle jewelry artist.

We also will be collecting food donations for the West Seattle Food Bank as this is a major effort of this month's art walk.

Steve and I plan to share some of Rockridge Orchards' berry wines from our private stash, along with cheese from Mt. Townsend Creamery and other organic nibbles. If you stop by to say "hi" you may even find you stay for awhile. It is a very "zen" place!

Note: This is a dog-friendly event, as this is also the daytime hangout of Sophia, the Italian greyhound featured on the Spring issue of Seattle's
CityDog Magazine (based in West Seattle). Sophia may or may not be in attendance, depending on weather (since she is very clothing-dependant in the winter!)
