Ed. note – Here’s the latest from contributor Sarah Heath. Sarah, a real estate broker with Matrix Real Estate, writes about North Seattle life on her personal blog, North Seattle Sarah. Every Saturday, Sarah brings us her musings on life in Green Lake. Wednesday marked my 50th day as a Green Lake resident (as opposed to a Phinney Ridge resident, which is soooo far away). Here’s what I’ve learned and discovered so far. No two days on the Green Lake Loop are ever the same.
