School of Oom Yung Doe Now Open

The School of Oom Yung Doe is now open at 8543 15th Ave NW in a storefront formerly occupied by The Tweetery.

From their website: “Different from typical martial arts, sports or exercise Oom Yung Doe does not just develop one aspect of a persons condition, but all areas of strength, flexibility, coordination, speed, control, and agility internally and externally, lower, mid and upper body.  It is common to see many athletes retire at a young age because of the damage athletics has done to their bodies.  Through Oom Yung Doe an individual can continue to progress and maintain their condition through their seventies and beyond.”

They have other locations in Bellevue, Kirkland, Redmond and Wallingford.

Murals of Crown Hill

Upon moving to Crown Hill in 2002, I noticed many blank walls on buildings, often tagged with graffiti, painted out graffiti, re-tagged, re-painted out, etc. What is it about a blank wall that encourages vandals to leave their marks? Our major streets, 15th Ave NW, Holman Road, and NW 85th Street appeared quite tired, even dreary. As new businesses have moved in, old businesses and new alike have taken to spiffing up their storefronts with bright colors, and … murals. Most recently the Value Village relocated a couple of doors south on 15th, and engaged the services of Seattle muralist, Ryan “Henry” Ward. Henry’s murals drew much attention in the press (MyBallard article, and even some television and radio coverage). It has certainly sparked lots of discussions among neighbors and passerby (as I snapped photos early on a Saturday morning, 6 people volunteered their opinions, four very positive, one negative, one shrug).
