This is a great place on the north side of capital hill. It is a 50 acre park with a long winding bike path and hiking trails. Highly recommend checking it out.

This park is about 3/4 of a mile from my apartment. It is a seattle park for mountain bikers - and there is a palm tree in the center! Very cool place

Coop bicycle repair shop. For a one time $35 fee, you can come in anytime during normal business hours and use their tools to work on your bike. They also have discounted classes for learning how to repair your bikes; (basic maintenance, Bearing Maintenance, and Wheel building).
But you can't clean your bike there if you come back from a muddy trail ride :(

Went mountain biking with cormier this weekend in the capital forest outside of olympia, wa. It was a really great place, with tons of single track (and horse poop). I would recommend going a little bit later in the summer when it isn't quite as wet.
There is probably 40+ miles of trails out here.

Just scheduled a bike fit with Erik Moen. He's pretty famous in the seattle area for his work with pro cyclist and comes highly recommended. Hopefully this will fix the root cause of my bum knee.

This is a very interesting loan product from BECU and has the potential of being one of the best 1st time mortgages for buyers that qualify.
It is called the "Helper" (HLPR) loan. Basically, it's aimed at 1st time buyers buying their first home, but it should also be useful for people who have already sold their homes and are looking for another.
There are income restrictions, credit restrictions and other guidelines, but this particular HLPR product (there are several others, see BECU's site) purports to have an ARM rate that is about 1% lower than the "going" rate. Based on my experience, their fees are also lower than most of the major banks.
This type of loan is great for someone that is looking at short-term ownership of a property. I spoke with several industry pros and they all believe that BECU is probably not making any money - perhaps even losing money - on this loan, but may be using it to bring borrowers into other BECU products that may be profitable.
BECU has had a reputation of being difficult to work with in the past and very slow to respond. It seems that now, though, they've cleaned up their act. They've got 24-hour mortgage reps and a lot of the process has been stream-lined and placed online. This loan is not for everyone, though, and it may not apply to every purchase. In particular, borrowers may have difficulty obtaining loans on new or conversion condos that are not FNMA approved. I spoke with several BECU reps and their answers were all over the board about this.
