We go through Ellensburg, WA a couple of times a year and often stop to admire Dick and Jane’s Spot at 101 North Pearl Street. I’ve not seen a better collection of joyful folk art! Dick and Jane purchased the house in 1978 and began to add folk art (theirs and other artists). Dick passed away in 2008, but Jane continues to live in the house.

Their tag line is “Art for the heart, from the heart, in the heart of Washington”.

Their story can be found here:

Charles D. Lancaster Temple

Built in the 1960s, the Charles D. Lancaster Masonic Temple at 4814 108th Street SW in Lakewood, WA is austere. While I’m sure it is to their advantage to have plenty of parking, the site would aesthetically benefit from some landscaping. The top photo shows the building from the front and the bottom photo shows it from the rear.

I’ve long admired the shiny black tile that fronts the building now occupied by Mr. Mac (1124 Martin Luther King Jr. Way). The space had previously been occupied by Cost Less Wholesale. Per their sign, Mr. Mac features the latest fashions and shoes for men.
