To the editor:

I want to thank you so very much for the article about Ryan’s House. I really appreciate the responses that I have received from the community about this project.

I also want to thank the many community members who are currently supporting this project in one way or another: Tim Hanson and Bob Mock, and Ray Green who have helped with the land and building project thus far, Michael Stadler Photography, Jonathan Sage and Northwest Public Relations for helping with the website and publicity, and to all of those local businesses who have volunteered time and some counter space to sell our bracelets: She Sez, Hairy Barkers, Big Sister, the Chocolate Flower Farm, the Paint Escape, Rumors Salon and Sassy Siren.

Lastly, I would like to make a correction to the July 13 article; the Ryan’s House phone number was a misprint, it is actually 206-356-2405.
