It’s been a year since Kirkland, Washington’s Highlands neighborhood was abuzz with The Extreme Makeover TV program.  It was a great week in which our neighborhood and a  deserving neighbor were spotlighted.  The city of Kirkland, the neighborhood, and the TV show bonded together to provide a new home to the Chapin    family.  It was quite an experience to see the neighborhood participate in such an event.  The entire block, including the neighbor’s yards,  was transformed into a TV set and staging area for building the new home.   It was a massive effort between neighborhood support, community and home building, and Hollywood.  You can follow the Extreme Makeover project from start to finish.
