The people. They are always there when you need them and they love, love, LOVE Maple Leaf. SummerThe views SE from the new Reservoir Park. Chocolate I strongly believe neighborhoods are Seattle's biggest asset. It is fashionable these days to paint neighborhoods as obstructionist, but the facts prove nearly all of Seattle's best ideas and lasting icons developed from the neighborhoods. Hot chocolate.

Howard and his wife Ruth have lived in Maple Leaf, the "1984 Community of the Year," for over 25 years. He is a retired construction geologist in love with sailing and completely enamored with the Pacific Northwest. Having experienced 40 years of working in construction safety all over the world, Howard feels especially well qualified to assist our community with its public safety and emergency preparedness planning.
My favorite Maple Leaf view is from the northwest corner of the reservoir where you can see both Lake Washington and Mt. Rainier, and we get nearly the same view from our front deck.
