An Animator's Seattle Cottage Is Sun-Filled and Charming -- House Tour

Name: Joe Gast and Willow the Weimaraner Location: Leschi -- Seattle, Washington Size: 1,690 square feet Years lived in: 25 years, owned My 1908 Leschi cottage was a victim of several ill-conceived remodels and plenty of deferred maintenance. A transplant from Ohio, with an Ohioan's modest budget, I purchased the house because it was in my price range and it was located on a magical stairway, steps above Lake Washington.
