This link should be a widgit called “Help with my Rent”

If Widgit is not working try this link: Direct Link to Chip In Project

Have been reading some really good articles by John Micheal Greer lately. Have enjoyed many of his books and only recently have I stumbled on to his weekly blog. Take a look at it. It is a far more reasoned opinion as to what our future holds than I have seen in quite a while.

It goes along with some of my steampunk leanings. Needing to create stronger communities and to learn skills.

6605 13th Avenue South
Seattle, WA 98108

Interestingly Google Maps will not place this address correctly. Use the “A” marker as reference, zoom in, then use “Satellite” and you will be able to find it on the map.

To get there from Seattle:

From Airport Way South take 12th Ave S or 13th Ave S to S Bailey Street then drive in a southerly direction on S Ellis Avenue.

Going south on Ellis Avenue make a left onto S Warsaw Street. There is a closed gate in front of you, so go into the parking lot on your left. Follow the parking lot east to the back end where you will find a driveway back to the Steamplant. Park on the East side and either enter through the door on the east wall or there should be barn double doors open on the South end of the building. The south end of the building is storage for a number of different vehicles, the actual machinery of the Steamplant is on the north end of the building, so walk past these to get to the machinery.

They run classes for Steam Licenses on a regular basis at the Steamplant, but I am unable to find the official site for this.

Since I am new to blogging I have no idea where I will be going with this. For now it is me experimenting with a multiple of options available to me. So sit back as I step up on my soapbox and shout out at the world. Hopefully something I say will be relevant or entertaining to you.
