the 40 plus years Ive lived in Mount Baker, Ive see n major changesthe neighborhood. Mount Baker Community Club too has gone
rough ups and downs and has emerged as the vibrant neighbor-od center it is today. We offer a range of activities for children, resi-nts interested in civic issues and community improvement, andople who want to meet and hang out with neighbors.
e hope you know that you are already a member of the Mountker Community Club. Everyone who lives, works or goes to

Tis is your club. Your participation and support keep it relevantand growing. Consider attending a monthly meeting, joining acommittee, becoming a board member or volunteering at events.And if the Community Club is important to you, please considerdonating to the annual fund or the capital campaign.
I want to share with you why I participate in the Annual GivingFund for the Community Clubhouse: I want a brick and mortar
venue, a real place, where I can gather with my community. I valuehaving a neighborhood spot where we can share ideas. Te MBCCis a convenient and beautiful venue for all kinds of civic, social, andcommunity activity.
Earlier this year aferTe New Yorkermagazine published an ar-ticle describing in terrifying detail what Seattleites will experi-ence when the next big earthquake hits, cries of We need moreinformation quickly spread through our Mount Baker commu-nity. Neighbors posted their concerns on www.NextDoor.comwondering, How do we protect ourselves? and What concretesteps do I need to take? Several online posts urged MBCC tohold a meeting.
We agreed, and one month later the Club hosted a meeting on emer-gency preparedness with the Seattle Office of Emergency Manage-
ment. More than 60 community members attended. In times of trou-ble, there is comfort in numbers. I am grateful that MBCC provided
an outstanding venue on shortnotice and free of charge.
Tis community venue requiresdonations to keep it going: fundsto keep the lights on, to pay forthe part-time staffmembers andthe ability to host free neighbor-hood events. For example, therecent Day in the Park broughtalmost 500 people to our MountBaker playground, and it was100% free!

native of Seattles north end, Craig grew up in Laurelhurst. (I)
ways recognized Mount Baker as one of the most sophisticated
ighborhoods in Seattle.Tis is Olmstead design! Craig exclaimed.
ood design contributes to an extraordinary experience, and in our

ok that as a sign and decided to help organize the next Home Tour.
e 2013 Home Tour coincided with the centennial of the Mount
ker Community Clubhouse. Craig wanted homes that year to re-
ct turn of the century architecture, so he chose only homes builte same year as the Clubhouse. Funny lesson learned, said Craig,
ost hundred year old homes have the same oor plan!
is years Home Tour will include homes built throughout ourighborhoods history, from turn of the century to the 2000s.
k Craig what his ideal tour of Mount Baker homes would be, and
cant stop listing one glorious home afer another. Hes an archi-
ctural history buffand knows many of the neighborhoo ds gems by
art. Craig was actually planning to step down as Co-Chair for the
ome Tour, but got so excited listing offhis dream homes that he
as hooked for another year. Lucky us!
aigs appreciation for good design carries over into his professionnd passion - as owner of Norberry Tile & Plumbing located on the
st Avenue ridge in Mount Baker. Step into Craigs studio and you
ll be blown away by the artistry and beauty Craig displays in his
e work and selection of plumbing xtures. Tere are many truly
nique pieces. No more white tile, says Craig of his efforts to gently
udge customers toward more artistic tile choices. Although if you
ant white tile, he has some stunning choices.

MIND THE GAP: A MOUNT BAKER ART INSTALLATIONBy Noah Jeppson, Owner of JeppsonEGD
RECIPE: MAMAS EASIEST SQUASH SOUPBy Elissa Arnheim, Health Coach, (360) 417-8051
CHECK OUT THE SCENE ON 31STAVENUEBy Julia Janak
KIDS, GET READY TO ROCK!y Erin Bruce
Many Mount Baker residents may be unaware of our neighbor-
hoods rich history. As part of the Seattle Design Festival this past
fall, Mount Baker resident and designer, Noah Jeppson temporarily
transformed the pedestrian overpass (at Martin Luther King Way
South and Rainier Avenue South) into an outdoor gallery of inspi-
rational neighborhood stories.
For two weeks Noahs installation, entitled Mind the Gap,
explored a literal bridge connecting historic Mount Baker to theurban development around the light rail station. Te installation
also addressed equity gaps in accessibility, infrastructure, and cul-
ture that frequently follow transit-oriented development in historic
neighborhoods.
Colorful signage and paint welcomed pedestrians and cyclists
onto the bridge, reinforcing the Olmsted Plan for interconnected
parks and boulevards. Stories included that of Brice Taylor, Afri-
can American/Native American football star from Franklin HighSchool who later became the University of Southern Californiasrst All-American football player in 1925, and rst African-Amer-
ican head coach at any Los Angeles high school. Taylor achieved
all his success despite being an orphan born without a lefhand!
Tis design installation was partially funded by grants frSafe Routes to School and the Seattle Office of Arts an
Neighborhood stories were discovered during the recen
Baker: Great Heights neighborhood identity project.
Its cold and wet out there! Come inside and have a big bowl of
rich, nourishing, delicious squash soup! Rich in vitamins,ber and
healthy fats, this soup is a great choice for anyone making a healthy
shif in their diet, and especially pregnant and nursing mamas to
support babys healthy nerve development. Enjoy!
Ingredients
1 medium butternut (or 2 acorn) squash
2 cups vegetable broth (or 1 bouillon cube with 2 cups water)
1 14-oz can coconut milk
STEP 1: Bake the squash. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Place entire
squash(es) on a shallow baking dish and bake 45-50 minutes, or
until easily pierced by a fork. Carefully cut open squash, discard
seeds (or roast them as a snack) and remove esh. Squa
refrigerated for several days.
STEP 2: Simmer vegetable broth and squash in a soup
puree with an immersion blender.
STEP 3: Add coconut milk and stir.
VARIATIONS: Add fresh or dry thyme, sauted diced o
apple, nutmeg
To make a super-satisfying lunch: throw a handful of
kale, lefover rice or quinoa into the soup. Eat with a side
nut/seed butter on apple slices.
