Kirkland Home Tour- “Now & Then”
When you think of Kirkland, many of us think of the Water Front, the luscious green parks, the shops. But most of all, what comes to mind is its community. Like all great ideas, this came from one of our communities most giving and passionate longtime members, Sue Contreras.
“Wouldn’t it be great if Kirkland had a home tour AND raise money for a great cause?”
Sue,

no stranger to volunteer work. She has been an active member of the culture and community here for close to 40 years. Using her resources, Sue reached out to the community. Long time Kirkland City Council member, Toby Nixon suggested to feature some “green built homes” as well as historical homes. Lynette Freiberg Weber is THE Kirkland Heritage Commissioner and Brenda Nunes started the “Sustainability September” movement in Kirkland.
“I’m definitely in good company” says Sue. So how did Sue choose the homes for the 7 property Tour on September 17th, 2016??

“THEN” Homes. (Marsh Mansion, Smith Log Home, Altig Property, Khory Home)
“I love that we have been able to save historic homes and applaud the people who have so lovingly cared for them. The 'then' homes on the tour are just wonderful to see.... from a log home on the lake, to the Marsh mansion, to a home for one of Peter Kirk's associates to a completely refurbished log home that was moved from its previous Market St. location. “
“NOW” Homes (Juanita Farm House Cottages, Arête, DWELL Built”
“For the 'now' homes...it intrigued me that the new wave is to build sustainable green built properties. The properties we have chosen are remarkable. Arête, in the former Crab Cracker restaurant location, has the platinum LEED certification, and the Dwell home and the Farmhouse Cottages at Juanita are brand new and 5-star green built. “
It’s now wonder that Sue choose the Kirkland Performing Arts Center and the Kirkland Heritage society as the beneficiaries of the “Kirkland Home Tour- Now & Then”. These organizations are near and dear to many of us here in Kirkland. Sue has been involved with the KPC before it was built and sits on their advisory board. And The Kirkland Heritage Society is another non-profit close to her heart.
“A group of us were able to restore the historic Captain Anderson Ferry clock a few years ago and I feel the importance of trying to preserve parts of our city's history for future generations.”
She told me this story, to Sue, it was simple. She noticed the clock was broken. Why not find a way to fix it? And she did.
