Jennifer Weddermann:

Architect/Metal Artist “Do what you’re passionate about, and you will meet people who care about what you do.”

That’s the advice of Jennifer Weddermann, a Tacoma architect who also designs and fabricates metal art. She founded Weddermann Architecture in 2010 in the aftermath of a major recession. Now her certified woman-owned firm is finding its path through the effects of COVID-19.

Weddermann’s notable buildings include the Tacoma Police Department Headquarters as well as the popular children’s playgrounds at Point Defiance Zoo and Aquarium and The Farm at SillyVille at the Washington State Fair in Puyallup. She has also designed private homes and the large Hanna Heights Apartments project in Tacoma’s theater district.

Her metal art pieces can’t be missed. A major installation at the entry of the Tacoma Children’s Museum is big, colorful and whimsical. A large Point Ruston sign continues the whimsy, embracing a nautical theme.

metal gates designed for the YWCA Pierce County domestic violence shelter. She donated a panel to a Smithsonian exhibit organized to show how beauty impacts healing.

Architectural design can be desk work. That’s not the case with the metal art, which can involve extensive physical labor.

Why metal as a medium? In a furniture design class in graduate school, Weddermann discovered that her limited budget wouldn’t cover the cost of expensive wood.

To create her graduate class project, she took her $10 to a junk yard and loaded a cart with a pile of rolled steel pieces—a lot of pieces.

That experience affected her choice for her future artistic work.

“Steel is cost effective. If I make a mistake, I grind it out,” Weddermann explained. “Steel is strong and fluid with a lot of potential.”

“That pile of metal activated the creative side of my brain,” she said.

In Seattle, look for a giant metal angler fish in the South Park neighborhood. She has also installed a new piece of corporate art in Now the community benefits from her creativity. the Alki neighborhood. vEMILY HAPPY “Now we’re going for more community-related projects that affect the most people in a positive way,” Weddermann said of her COVID-era work.

HOMES FIRST PROVIDING SAFE, HEALTHY, AFFORDABLE HOUSING FOR 30 YEARS The 1980’s are often recognized as the decade of greed. But in the late 80’s a group of people recognized that many social services were vanishing, and the needs of low income citizens weren’t being met. This was especially true of affordable housing.

Founded in 1990 by Billie Heath, Maureen Hill, and Kenturah Brown, Homes First was created to provide safe, healthy and affordable housing to low-income members of our community.

These founders watched as affordable homes in Thurston and Mason County were being bought and flipped to sell or rent for far more than below-averageincome people could afford.

As more of their community members were being priced out of the market, they understood their mission would need to focus on providing the actual affordable housing. So, they began buying pre-existing homes that they would fix up and rent at below market to the lowest income members of our community.

And now, after 30 years, Homes First manages 47 homes including specialty housing through partnerships with other service organizations. Of these 47 homes, 13 are shared homes for adults with disabilities, five are for persons in recovery, three for homeless youth and one shared home provides housing for former Western State Hospital residents.

CEO Trudy Soucoup has led a small, but mighty team for the last nine years all working together to ensure their tenants are treated with dignity and respect. Soucoup has an ever-growing list of goals for Homes First which includes adding solar panels to some of their homes and participating in the Hummingbird Community Solar Project for 2021. A second goal, if the public funds are available, is to purchase two homes every quarter allowing them to transition more people into their program.

How can you help Homes First? Consider donating your home and leave a community legacy. While it is a tax break for the heirs to your estate, it also means your home will live on as Homes First has never sold a home and they never will. vLYNN CASTLE

Artisans Group Designs FOR Habitat for Humanity South Puget Sound Habitat for Humanity approached Artisans Group with a wonderful opportunity to work together on the development of a three acre parcel for affordable homes.

Working closely with this community partner, Artisans Group developed a staggered duplex townhouse design that will provide affordable and high-performance homes for local families. The pragmatic and modern design of these duplex townhouses helps the contractor stretch every dollar in the interest of maximizing performance and efficiency while the staggered entrances and variation in roof lines provide visual interest and a unique neighborhood experience.

With a floor plan that accommodates three bedrooms (or a fourth accessible bedroom on the ground floor), two bathrooms, a roomy kitchen, and an island that serves a large great room, this townhouse is ready to add usability, performance and aesthetic interest to lots, subdivisions and eco-villages.

locally, raises funds locally and builds locally.” Their mission-driven approach provides affordable, healthy and sustainable housing and creates a unique opportunity for people to become homeowners of healthy and sustainable new homes. They are serving those where traditional options have often left them on the outside looking in.

“In 2005, I had the opportunity through a college internship to build a home with South Puget Sound Habitat for Humanity and I’ve been impressed ever since by how forward-thinking the organization truly is in bringing affordable housing to the community. As a firm known for the early adoption of sustainable and energy-efficient Passive House architecture, everyone at Artisans Group has been thrilled to partner with Habitat,” says COO of Artisans Group, Roussa Cassel. vEMILY HAPPY

Possibilities Realized AT PIERCE COLLEGE “Recognition is nice, but being a finalist makes us reflect on our work and what we can do to get better,” says Dr. Michele Johnson, Pierce College Chancellor.

That’s the forwarding-looking approach of the college as it was named one of the ten national finalists for the 2021 $1 million Aspen Prize for Community College Excellence. Finalists were selected from the nation’s 1,000 community colleges after a rigorous process involving more than 30 experts.

Finalists are expected to develop strategies that propel all students to complete college and then to succeed after graduation. In 2019, the Aspen Institute honored Pierce College as a Rising Star for “exceptional levels of improvement.” That $100,000 prize was donated to the college foundation to benefit the three campuses at Fort Steilacoom, Puyallup and Joint Base Lewis McChord.

Pierce College started with goals of access and open doors, the Chancellor said. Then data showed graduation rates lagging behind enrollment. Trustees and the Chancellor vowed to double graduation rates.

“We really know our mission and strive to measure it,” Dr. Johnson said. “We are not afraid to share data. We know we have made progress, but it would be bittersweet if we get a top prize and we haven’t closed the student completion gap.”

A careful study of the numbers revealed that the largest groups of students having difficulty progressing to graduation are single parents and African American males. Others facing challenges include Pell grant students with financial challenges, second language learners and students in the LGBTQ community.

“We had to ask, ‘What’s the lived experience of these students?’ and focus on the whole system to help students have a plan of resources to get to the final place,” Dr. Johnson said. “For us it’s about ‘possibilities realized,’ creating quality educational opportunities for a diverse community of learners to thrive in an evolving world.”

During 2020 the Aspen Institute will send a team of national experts on virtual site visits. A jury will convene in early 2021 to select the winner of the $1 million award. vEMILY HAPPY For Additional Information Pierce College

Celebrating Craft Visionary Lloyd Herman Lloyd Herman, one of the leading authorities on the contemporary craft movement, has won the admiration and respect of art institutions both across the country and internationally. Herman’s experiences have most recently inspired Northwest Designer Craftsmen to produce an exciting new documentary about his life and work promoting various crafts.

It’s easy to see why Herman was selected for the next Living Treasures video documentary. He was instrumental in the opening of the Renwick Gallery, a branch of the Smithsonian American Art Museum, and soon afterwards became the gallery’s first director. The gallery featured unique exhibitions that showcased pieces from a variety of materials and drew in large crowds. Lloyd Herman’s success at the Renwick Galley also brought with it many opportunities for his shows to travel to other countries, making him an instant emissary for American craft to audiences worldwide.

From there, the Renwick Gallery was able to broaden its program into an international venue for craft and design. Lloyd was energized by the challenges that came with establishing a premiere venue for contemporary craft, and from 1972 to 1986 presented over 100 exhibitions to achieve his goal of having contemporary craft join its rightful place among the Smithsonian’s family of museums.

And his career didn’t slow down from there. After his time as director of the Renwick Gallery, he said that he “hit the ground running with about three exhibition proposals that I was unable to do at the Renwick.” Over the next ten years his expertise was in constant demand, from helping the Cartwright Gallery in Vancouver B.C. to become the Canadian Craft Museum in 1990, to becoming the acting senior curator for the planned Museum of Glass in Tacoma in 1998.

The documentary on his life is scheduled to be released just in time for the 50th anniversary of the Smithsonian’s Renwick Gallery, in honor of where this craftsman’s legacy all began! vMARTIN PRESTON

PACIFIC RACEWAYS: CELEBRATING 60 YEARS This year marks 60 years of Pacific Raceways, the iconic motorsports facility in Kent where attendees experience some of the most exciting races in drag and road course, as well as enthusiast club events.

Known for its renowned 10-turn, 2.25-mile course, the track was opened in 1960 by Dan Fiorito, Sr. and is now operated by his grandson, Jason Fiorito. One thing that all drivers and media agreed upon right from the first year was that the track is “gorgeous.” The cozy feeling created by surrounding fir trees, foothills of Mount Rainier looming over the background of Turn 9, and the elevation losses and gains on the back portions create a very special feeling and makes the course as appealing as any in the States.

Now, after 60 legendary years, the iconic track is getting a few upgrades. Jason Fiorito is excited to share this new part of Pacific Raceways with the public. “We are thrilled to have a thirdgeneration business celebrating 60 years of racing and innovation,” Fiorito says. “This year we will open the Pacific Innovation Center, which will pair motor racing with innovative technology.”

The Pacific Innovation Center, which seeks to highlight “innovation companies and start-ups in the automotive industry,” is part of an expansion project begun in late 2018. These additions include a repaved raceway, 200,000 square feet of mixed space, garages, and upgraded concession facilities, and, along with the Pacific Innovation Center, give fans of the track an exciting change to anticipate on their next visit to the Raceways. Fiorito and his team also encourage fans and the public to share memorabilia that will be assembled and presented as a cumulative history of the track. vMARTINA PRESTON

A Pearl of a Dining Experience – Chelsea Farms Oyster Bar

Chelsea Farms Oyster Bar in Olympia offers its dining patrons a truly special experience — fresh local seafood sustainably farmed at its namesake Chelsea Farms. Owners Shina Wysocki and Kyle Lentz offer their dining patrons an experience that reflects the heart and soul of the family’s shellfish farming legacy.

Upon your visit, expect an authentic casual-chic Pacific Northwest dining experience. This lovely space, with a recently expanded dining room, allows guests a place to celebrate a unique occasion or meet a friend or two for one of the best happy hours and ‘bites’ in the South Sound. General Manager Amilia Forsberg and her team are known for going the extra mile to make guests feel special. “We love that our customers have made us their destination to celebrate their wedding anniversaries, birthdays, and marriage proposals; we love helping to make the occasion memorable.” says Amilia.

A menu to satisfy the landlubber or the most adventuresome diner, ‘Chelsea’ offers a delectable assortment of fresh food from the sea, as well as a few superbly done mainstays. Discover what many Olympians believe to be the best clam chowder, fish and chips, and burgers in town. Be sure to try the delicate and sweet geoduck tartare. Though geoduck is farmed locally and shipped all over the world, it is a delicacy all too difficult to discover on menus in the South Sound.

Be sure to explore Chelsea Farms Oyster Bar and check out the takeout menu which includes dinners and cocktail kits to go! vDANA PETHIA

Condo owners at Point Ruston asked Alinda Morris Interior Design to take on the challenge of designing and installing their dream house in time for them to enjoy the sun in their new home.

“This was such an exciting project,” said Morris. “We are all about creating stylish, eclectic yet clean-line spaces for our clients.”

The project began with several conceptual furniture plan options. Once a finalized layout was created, several design boards with furniture selections and lighting options were offered to the client. Alinda Morris Interior Design provided the condo with furnishings, artwork, window treatments, and updated lighting fixtures. ​ “When working to personalize new construction, we combine styles and periods through a wide variety of items to achieve a curated look,” Morris explained. The design team added small details to the home as well as larger pieces to create a luxurious yet comfortable feel. “We wanted our clients to feel like they are on vacation all the time but we did not want anything in the space to feel formal or precious,” Morris said. ​ The house showcased a simple color palette with accent colors and patterns layered throughout to add interest to various rooms. Morris’s team knew that art, accessories, and interior styling were very important to their clients, so they selected custom artwork focusing on the theme of travel from artists they love. The completed space is cozy, sophisticated, and still great for an energetic family.

“Not only is our home stunning,” the owners said, “the whole process was also completely painless and was done 100% virtually. I could have as much or as little input as I wanted.

When we arrived at our home everything was complete and perfect.”

It’s noteworthy how seamless this project was as all the work on this project “was done 100% remotely,” said Morris. The homeowners actually live in Chicago and desired a second home in the Pacific Northwest.

During these times, it is a relief that clients are still able to partner long distance and enjoy design services and virtual consultations. vJORDAN MCGRAW For Additional Information Alinda Morris Interior Design

The HeART of the Home

CABINETS BY TRIVONNA Cabinets by Trivonna of Olympia pride themselves on a design experience that is uniquely customized to their individual client’s dreams and wishes.

Trivonna brings to life an artful design plan built around their customer’s needs and budget. We’ve all discovered that the ‘heart of the home’ isn’t just for the cook anymore.

“The kitchen has become a gathering place meant for entertaining guests and gathering family alike,” states Trivonna.

Navigating the myriad of decisions on textiles and design options can be daunting. Trivonna has created a design studio offering a nurturing environment that helps clients realize their best kitchen design.

Many of us have already discovered our kitchens to be the center of the home in more ways than one. Often our kitchen plays host not only to baking and cooking, but to child and adult art, science and sewing projects, and even Dad’s auto repair, fishing and tackle shop.

Whatever your kitchen design dream, creating a work of art and functional space built for you and your family is what Cabinets

by Trivonna does beautifully. Be sure to visit their creative space and showroom in Olympia and realize your dream kitchen fulfilled soon. vDANA PETHIA For Additional Information Cabinets by Trivonna

PUT THE RIGHT FOOT FORWARD WITH DR. BURGHARDT “For hiking trips, wear proper boots with support, pack moleskin and bandages and consider taking an extra pair of boots,” Dr. Burghardt said. “For casual wear, sandals are fine, but be sure they have an arch support.”

Another tip for foot care is proper hygiene, he said. Toenails should be cut straight across. The clinic does a lot of diabetic foot care, he added. “Those with diabetes who have bad circulation don’t have good feeling in their feet and can injure themselves caring for their feet,” Dr. Burghardt said. “We treat patients for sores and wound care.”

Another area of concern is peripheral artery disease, which is caused by narrowed and hardened arteries that can reduce blood flow to the foot and ankle, he explained. People who smoke, are diabetic, have high blood pressure or high cholesterol may be at higher risk and need professional care.

Yearning to get outdoors for a short hike? Slip on the flip-flops and head out, right?

Wrong, says Dr. Thomas Burghardt, who is an expert in foot and ankle care. He recommends “proper shoes for the environment you’re in.”

In May, Dr. Burghardt came to Foot and Ankle Surgical Associates (FASA) at 1901 South Union Avenue from almost two decades at the Tumwater clinic. He is a board-certified physician and surgeon specializing in foot and ankle reconstructive surgery and diabetic foot care.

Other patients need help for plantar fasciitis, which is inflammation of a thick band of tissue that connects the heel bone to the toes and causes pain near the heel.

“A lot of foot pain comes from tight Achilles tendons,” Dr. Burghardt said. He cautioned ‘weekend warriors’ to be sure to stretch before they run and to start slowly with low mileage workouts and low impact running.

Dr. Burghardt, a resident of Tacoma, says he is excited about a shorter commute and a chance to “meet new patients, work with a new team of colleagues and serve the Tacoma area.” vEMILY HAPPY

Common foot problems include bunions, plantar fasciitis, peripheral artery disease and foot-related complications from diabetes. In addition, nice weather invites sprained ankles from sports activities such as basketball and hiking.

Exercise Your Green Thumb All Year Long As the days begin to get shorter and the drizzly days that accompany the Pacific Northwest autumn season begin to set in, it is important to find ways to stay active and keep your spirits high.

Gardening creates a sense of purpose and is a very rewarding activity because it allows people to experience success, build confidence, and connect with their physical environment. It’s very satisfying for seniors with dementia to nurture plants and it’s an activity that people feel naturally connected to.

Transitioning your gardens and raised beds from summer to fall is a great way to keep enjoying the outdoors and keep up your gardening all year long.

Many vegetables thrive in colder months and are also a great way to spruce up your cooking! A few greens that you can enjoy in the fall are spinach, lettuce, and kale. Don’t forget your favorite root crops such as carrots, beets, onions and radishes.

The beginning of autumn is also an optimal time to begin harvesting herbs like rosemary, basil and sage, which actually develop their strongest flavor before blooming. You can snip them early in the morning and store them somewhere dry. What could

be better on a cold afternoon than a warm bowl of soup garnished with fresh herbs from your garden?

If your passion for gardening is fueled by flowers, there are some beautiful annuals that can make your garden come alive with fall color as well. Some good fall annuals include pansies, verbena, and mums, which are great for borders, mass plantings, and containers.

The two most important steps you can take to help make sure your garden and planters are ready for the colder months ahead are: 1. Add some mulch Mulching late in the season can block weeds, keep in moisture, and insulate the soil. Mulch also prolongs the growing season, which will allow your garden to prosper. Another tip to remember is that leaves are a great substitute for mulch and can offer the same benefits. They add nutrients and soil as they breakdown.

2. Clean up and prune It is important to trim and check spent plants for pests and diseases. If you do not see any sign of mildew or fungus on existing plants, you can even bury them and let them continue to act as mulch. vANGELA BYRGE SHOWCASE MAGAZINE
