I love beautiful things and thoughtful design. I also live in one of the most expensive cities in the country, and our family lives off a single income so that I can be at home with our kids. Patience and persistence have been the key to finding stylish things on a tight budget.

![[ INNIS ARDEN TOURS ]
Located just North of Seattle, in Shoreline, the Innis Arden neighborhood boasts astounding views of Puget Sound and the Olympic Mountains, but there is also a small, secluded section nestled along Boeing Creek and Hidden Lake that was developed by noted Northwest architect Ralph Anderson.
Patrick and I periodically drive through Innis Arden, and we’re always inspired by this rare pocket of amazing mid century modern homes. After going on the last Docomomo tour of the Hilltop Community, we’ve been holding out hope that Innis Arden would be next. To our delight, the national chapter of Docomomo announced that a tour of the homes along Boeing Creek will be happening on October 8th. From their site:
The homes on 10th Ave Northwest, overlooking Boeing Creek and Hidden Lake, are uncommon, both for their unique architecture and their setting in the environment. Individually, they are fine examples of Modernist Architecture. Collectively, they are a rare example of a Modernist community.Tour meets at the Sinclair House.
$10 per person
The local Docomomo site doesn’t have details posted yet, but I’ll update here when tickets go on sale.
