Crane has not left Seattle

		I don't have time to explore and discover untrodden things these days from my base in Mercer Island. A few weeks ago, discovered Toppenish murals, a remarkable community effort to produce historic murals. Thanks to folks at Crafted for letting me have the whole basement to frolic and dine, walkin.

More local: The coval house of Mercer Island developed over a 100 years and recently demolished. "As research scientists, both Barbara and Myer possessed a native comfort with uncertainty, change and experimentation, and this proved to be a fertile environment for the artists and designers they engaged." Stunning woodwork.
