New food truck park opening in Ballard
Food trucks have become more and more popular in Seattle over the past few years. Now Ballard is opening a food truck park. It is a piece of property that has been a vacant lot that is being transformed into Ballard Bites and Brews. It hopes to be open by April and will add more interesting food as well as local favorites. This location plans to have four food trucks that will rotate in and out keeping variety available. This food truck park plans to have bathrooms and ample seating which is somewhat unheard of at food pods in other Seattle neighborhoods. Keep an eye out on the corner of 15th Ave NW and NW 50th St.

Concrete countertops
Concrete countertops are a newer trend in many kitchens. It is a product that is fairly flexible in the respect that you can choose the color, and also have it fitted in custom areas easily.
There are even newer products now that let you recoat your Formica countertops with a thin layer of concrete to achieve concrete tops (this is definite the thriftier way about it).
Concrete counters are pretty solid and are not to susceptible to staining.

Is it a good idea to loan your kids money to buy a home?
With the housing market being so hot especially in places like Seattle the younger generation is finding it harder and harder to buy a home.
Some home buyers use their saving or 401k's to get into a home but the younger guys out there don't always have this option available to them. They need to be more clever about their down payment and sometimes turn to family to help them. Whether it is a loan or a gift there are different ways to go about giving them the money.
