The Magnolia Historical Society provided a taste of its upcoming book about the neighborhood during the ‘50s and ‘60s at its annual meeting on Tuesday. The event teased the upcoming release of “Magnolia: Memories and Milestones,” with readings from the history book by some of its authors.

People showed up for the Magnolia Farmers Market last year, said market manager Molly Burke, and that will pay off this season.
“The neighborhood’s proving to us that they want the market to go longer, later in the season, and I told them it’s data-driven, so go ahead and come out and shop,” Burke said. “Each year the season has gotten better and better, so we’ve pushed the market out another week.”

Downsizing can be hard, especially for a Queen Anne couple that has spent nearly three decades restoring and improving upon their 1902 colonial mansion. As they plan a move to Renton, they’ve put their 10,000-square-foot property on the market with an asking price of $11 million, which is $10.4 million more than what they purchased it for in 1996.
