Queen Anne residents form group to bring more arts to neighborhood Next event this Friday featuring tap dancers from Fremont school By Jessica Keller
QA&Mag News editor
A group of Queen Anne women have formed an organization aimed at bringing more art
opportunities to the neighborhood. Anna Boynton, Beth Bunnell and Laura Corvi have partnered to form CounterBalance Now, a group that seeks to introduce
more opportunities for Seattle artists of all types to the entire Queen Anne community. “We were just thinking we were all art supporters, and we love some of the things the other neighborhoods have done to bring the arts into their communities at different events,” Boynton said. “We just said, ‘Hey, let’s do that ourselves.’ ”
The first event took place in July when the Boot Boogie Babes, a line-dancing troupe run by Queen Anne resident DeAnna Lee, performed in front of Trader Joe’s and then at the Queen Anne Farmer’s Market. The next event is this week and features tap dancers of all ages

Salvage company finds time capsule at former Queen Anne church site

By Jessica Keller
QA&Mag News editor A Seattle architectural salvage company assigned to remove as much historic architecture from a former German evangelical church in Queen Anne prior to its demolition this summer found an unexpected discovery: a small time capsule from 1906, the year the church was built. Aaron Blanchard, Earthwise Arcitectural Salvage director of operations, said staff was hired to perform a salvage assessment, going through the old church at 165 Valley St., which has since been demolished, looking for as many materials and items that could be salvaged and sold. “We try to find and save as many things that we can sell,” Blanchard said, adding his company usually salvages items from old residences but has been doing more vacant churches, like the one in Queen Anne. “The owner of the company calls it CSI of the building. We just nerd out.” Blanchard said, toward the end of the two-week salvage, his crew was digging around some blackberry bushes and found the cornerstone of the church, which they were excited about, not only because cornerstones are rarely left behind, but because sometimes they hid things like time capsules.
