This month, I had the pleasure of attending a lecture on the importance of community by Jim Diers, the former Director of Seattle's Department of Neighborhoods and author of Neighbor Power: Building Community the Seattle Way . Jim uses a bottom up approach through neighborhood empowerment and the addition of art to redevelop communities.  Jim was responsible for changing Fremont from a dump into "The Center of the Universe."  He is also credited for redeveloping the Columbia City district, Ballard and Alaska Junction. When the Q&A time came during his lecture, I of course asked the natural question any real estate investor would ask, "What neighbors will be redeveloped next?"  The answer will surprise you.  The Delridge neighborhood as well as Whitecenter was his answer. Email Carrie to get listings in Delridge and Whitecenter.
