My Ballard-born daughter is 17 years old but until tonight I hadn't removed the latch for her baby gate that was attached to the doorframe at the bottom of the stairs. I don't think that I've even noticed it for at least 15 years even though it has been inches from my hand each and every time I opened my front door to the world.

More than five years ago, Liu helped conceptualize her family's business, the popular bubble tea hangout spot Oasis.

Her comments about Bergen Place though have me a little baffled.
I know there are many people who do not like the sculptures in Bergen Place. There is a history about them, which I am not going into detail about now.
