October 2018

By Patrick Robinson

Let me tell you a brief story about a lovely human. I was contacted by Bonnie Brown a few weeks ago about her daughter, Heidi Williams. She told me Heidi was very ill but they were hoping I would have the time to take some photos of her. Bonnie told me she did not have long to live. She offered to pay me.. “No.. that is not necessary,” I told her. So my wife and I went to see her in her apartment in Burien. A friend answered the door and we entered. I expected to see someone who looked terrible.

Instead Heidi was radiant.

Exceptionally pretty with beautiful eyes and long black hair. I could see her energy was low... but still she had an aura of acceptance, peace, and love about her.

"I'm sorry about my place," she said," I've sold or given away most of my things." But it didn't matter. She was the jewel.

A Design Review Early Design Guidance meeting for a 7-story, 75-unit apartment building with general sales and service is set for the West Seattle Senior Center for Nov. 1. The building is proposed to span from 4508 to 4514 California Ave SW.

Parking for 17 vehicles is proposed. Existing buildings will be demolished.

The project is being developed by Leon Capeloto and has already been through the first design review.

It is being designed by Caron Architecture.
