Kirkland Highlands Real Estate Buzz

The Kirkland Performance Center was hopping on Sunday night the 18th.  People came to support Hopelink and the Chapin family at a presentation of  the Extreme Makeover show of the Chapin residence.  As many Kirklanders know, The Chapins received a new home in October courtesy of  Extreme Makeover Home Edition and many local contractors, such as Doyle Construction.  The construction of the home was a huge community effort that continued with Sunday’s “performance” of the TV show. 

 Volunteers, contractors, and members of the cast of Extreme Makeover worked around the clock in rainy weather during the 8 day build.  The sign above shows  just a few of the many contractors that contributed their time, money, and services.

 The Kirkland Performance Center sold over 300 tickets, netting about $422 in cash donations and a total of 6 crates of food for Hopelink.  Over on Rain City Guide, Ardell wrote a piece about Sunday’s performance.

The Chapin family utilitzed some of Hopelink’s services in the past when they were a bit more down on their luck.  They have been great to always remember Hopelink and this was a fine way to do it!

 If you check out my previous blog postings on The Extreme Makeover home, you can follow the experience from beginning to end.  Photos have been posted which show the original home, the teardown, and the construction.  It was an exciting project and a neighborhood/city bonding experience.
