new director, hagerty education program at america's car museum In 1970 Diane Fitzgerald purchased her first car, a not-sopretty Volkswagen Bug, for $600. “I wanted to learn how to drive a stick so I bought it and fixed it up myself,” she says. So began her love affair with all things automotive. Since then, the car enthusiast has owned numerous VW’s and is a collector of micro-cars as well as vintage motorcycles. Couple this enthusiasm with a background in education, marketing and fundraising, and it’s no surprise that Fitzgerald was selected to be the national director of the Hagerty Education Program at LeMay - America’s Car Museum in Tacoma. “I am over the moon excited and honored to take this program to the next level,” says Fitzgerald.

As residents of Chicago, Fitzgerald and her husband were the first members of the ACM board of directors from outside Tacoma. When they joined the board in 2002, they brought with them a passion to help preserve the automotive industry. In 2012 Fitzgerald began serving as national Club Auto director at ACM, responsible for the implementation of events and programs to help increase membership. The Hagerty Education Program awards grants and scholarships to young adults seeking careers in automotive preservation and restoration. To protect the history of the automotive industry, Fitzgerald says, it is critical to train and educate the next generation as well as protect the hobby of car collecting in America. Hagerty, an insurance provider for classic vehicles, partnered with ACM in January 2014 and has since committed $1.75 million to the program. Fitzgerald says that the opportunity to be the national director of a program focused on education means having a direct impact on the next generation of car enthusiasts and hobbyists alike, particularly here in the South Sound. “I think this is going to impact Tacoma in interesting ways that we cannot predict yet,” says Fitzgerald. vANDREA LERUM For additional information: lemaymuseum.org

spotlight | brian pettepiece, photographer Commercial photographer Brian Pettepiece creates images that are intended to promote a person, a place, or a product. He is the owner of Pettepiece Photography and Olydog Studios, both headquartered in Olympia. Just about any image could be considered a commercial photograph, says Pettepiece, but his studio focuses on businesses as it’s primary clients. He says he concentrates on promoting their products and services and “creating those images with an advertising sense” to showcase them in a way that best appeals to their customers. What does he like most about his profession? “In a word: creative freedom. I love the freedom of being able to express myself creatively. For the most part, my clients trust me to create their images using my own skills and experience. “I also enjoy human interaction, the more the better,” he continues. He says that many clients have an art director who already has a vision for the project in mind. “That is great and I welcome it,” he adds, “because I love working with someone who has a vision and helping them to make that vision a reality.” Pettepiece says he’s always been fascinated by the ability to document, or freeze in time, an object or event and to display it in a way that others may not have been able to see, even if they were there. Studying historical photography has always been his passion, he says, from the first daguerreotype in 1839 to early and post-modern documentary motion-picture films. “I love the idea of showing viewers what they weren’t expecting—exposing something that may have been hidden while being in plain sight,” says Pettepiece. “Creating surprise and satisfaction through exhibition has always been my driving force.” vCARLY CALABRESE To view Brian Pettepiece’s work: pettepieceheadshots.com

boathouse 19

Located on Tacoma’s west side at the end of 19th Street, Boathouse 19 offers diners a menu of American classics in a waterfront setting. Sweeping views of Puget Sound are visible from the dining room year-round but are best enjoyed in the warmer months when the deck is open for seating. The atmosphere is casual and the décor kept simple with exposed wood beams and metal hardware. The staff is both knowledgeable and friendly. Conversations fill the air and large flat screens keep patrons up to date on the progress of local sports teams. Playing off its name, Boathouse 19 offers 19 beers on tap including many from local breweries, 19 Washington wines and 19 specialty cocktails.

tastemakers: stina's cellars With a touch of creativity and a passion for enology, Perry Preston and his wife, Penny, founded Stina’s Cellars on a challenge to each other and a chance at exploration. They already had a love for great wines, so all that remained was capturing a moment of fate—thus Stina’s Cellars was born in 1997.

Stina’s Cellars is one of the only winemakers to successfully export wines to China. Its unique blends can be found in over 90 locations throughout Western Washington and online in 16 states. v ERIC C. GOODELL

Located in the heart of Lakewood, Stina’s is open to new friends and patrons in the tradition of a Woodinville Winery tasting room. With large barrel tables and highback stools, or a candlelit table for two, it’s an intimate atmosphere that is both relaxing and comfortable. And it gives Preston the chance to get to know and mingle with his guests. Stina’s offers an outward display of numerous selections, from the latest releases to the award-winning cabernets. The Prestons’ philosophy is that the greatest joy of wine is finding a new one you’ve never tried before. “It’s the unique technique that always keeps it interesting,” says Perry. Producing a wide range of berries and spiced blends, Preston has crafted an award-winning variety that is guaranteed to please the palate.

home community design spring 2015

award-winning modern home design Maria Meconi and Robin Vaughn envisioned a modern home with clean lines and an open concept. They toured several home shows and finally discovered a modern design by the Artisans Group of Olympia. In October 2013, they began the architectural design process with the Artisans Group. As Tessa Smith, owner and architect, recalls, “Maria and Robin were great about sharing their vision. This was going to be a home for a family. It had to truly be functional art and needed to look good messy, covered in little girls’ shoes and teddy bears, and then be a swanky spot to drink a cocktail.” Vaughn agrees, explaining, “We were purposeful in planning the space so that it was functional and livable. We wanted really open space and tall ceilings, but this can sometimes be cold. Due to the lighting and color choices, however, the space is warm and cozy.” The homeowners’ vision became a reality when they moved into the modern 2,900-square-foot home in Boston Harbor, north of Olympia, this past June. In August, the home was featured on the Olympia Master Builders tour. “Nearly 400 people came through the house in two days,” says Vaughn. “It was a little nerve-wracking to say the least. In the end, we won five awards including People’s Choice Best of Show. It was really satisfying knowing so many people enjoyed our home.” vLEAH GROUT

selden's-celebrating 75 years of style in the puget sound This year marks the 75th anniversary for Selden’s Designer Home Furnishings, a staple of the Puget Sound business scene since April 1940. What started as a floor covering business by Syd Selden has evolved into a furniture destination for an array of homeowners and businesses in the region.

The growth and evolution of the company can best be attributed to one constant: the customers. “We are always listening to our customers’ feedback,” says Jake Cross, general manager and fourth-generation Selden. “We try not to get stuck in our ways by constantly looking ahead to what the customer wants.” Staying family-owned and operated, Cross says, has allowed the company to remain agile to make key merchandise decisions, keeping customers at the forefront. Dazzling showrooms provide no shortage of stylish options ranging from fashion-forward pieces by Four Hands to the extraordinary wood craftsmanship of Stickley furniture. To offer its services to a larger audience, Selden’s has expanded its e-commerce presence. Customers can now shop, customize and order furniture online. Once the order is delivered, the store’s in-home service includes setting up the new item and rearranging existing pieces, plus providing guidance to customers on items that require operational instruction. Selden’s also follows up after a delivery to ensure the experience was “outstanding,” says Cross. Complimentary design services are also available. The talented Selden’s team has experience in high-end custom homes as well as premier apartment communities such as Point Ruston. Designers can assist customers in all aspects of home décor, from paint to fabric and furniture selection, all with no pressure to buy. Showcase Magazine congratulates Selden’s on its achievements and wishes the business many more years of continued success! vANDREA LERUM

take a walk off the beaten path Remember the days of soda shops, vintage cars and a celebrated kind of innocence? If you’re looking for a slice of Americana or just feeling nostalgic, a quaint reminder is tucked in the rustic setting of Off the Beaten Path. A walk down the aisles of the store evokes simpler times wrapped in comfort and friendly faces. With a love of all things from days past and a compassionate sense of neighborly charm, co-owners Joanne Loudin and her mother, Lorna Hill, lead you on a trip down memory lane.

Discover Off the Beaten Path, and you’ll find a place of buried treasures: antique photos, frames and candle holders, plus tools and typewriters. To walk through the store is to discover, and what you soon realize is that everything has a story. From the smallest trinket to the turn-of-the-century rolltop desk, there is history, and the only thing more intriguing is the people behind them. It’s “where yesterday’s memories become today’s treasures,” Loudin says, quoting her mother with a smile that speaks of true devotion for who they are and what the place is about. To learn their story is to find truth and solidarity in the memories, collectibles and those who seek a piece of nostalgia from before our “plugged in” era.

Off the Beaten Path has been part of the community for over 22 years.

Indoors and out, you are surrounded by the majestic beauty and culture of this location. The waterfront hotel captures the rustic natural beauty of the Pacific Northwest, with guest rooms flanking a soaring great room. The history-laden great room offers spectacular waterfront views amid museum-quality works of art. History buffs will delight in the richness of the Suquamish culture. “We love to share our history with visitors,” says Lisa Rodriguez, public relations and media coordinator. She notes that the Suquamish people have lived along the shores of the Kitsap Peninsula for more than 10,000 years. Taking their name from the word for “clear salt water,” Suquamish ancestors thrived by harvesting salmon, clams and other foods from nature. Speaking of food, you’ll want to be sure to take in the fine dining at Cedar Steakhouse. The savory menu includes an array of fresh seafood, pastas, luscious prime rib and steaks prepared to perfection, plus a fine selection of vegetarian entrees.

With a headache and numbness in her face, she called her sister-in-law, who called 911 because Malo herself refused, thinking she would be fine. But she wasn’t fine.

spring skin care-keep skin youthful looking The basis of any good skin care regimen starts with prevention—of wrinkles and sun spots in particular. The best way to get ahead of the signs of aging, say many experts, is to establish an ironclad routine that includes regular use of a good sunscreen and constant hydration every day. “Skin protection is vital and the use of SPF 30 or higher is ideal,” according to Dr. Joseph Shvidler, MD, at the MultiCare MedSpa in Gig Harbor. “Especially with many residents of the Pacific Northwest enjoying an active outdoor lifestyle, skin protection is critical in maintaining a youthful appearance,” he says. Shvidler also emphasizes the importance of avoiding what he calls the three S’s; stress, sun exposure and smoking. Each one has an adverse impact on skin and its appearance. Ideally, an optimal skin care routine should begin in the teenage years and carry on into adulthood. Anyone with acne should treat it right away since the scars become more prominent with age and are often irreversible, says Korrine Claxton, licensed esthetician. “When working on teenage acne, the first thing I talk about is what they eat and drink. You need a healthy diet and water intake. It is crucial and the first step to great skin.” Claxton adds that investing in products that deliver the proper moisture and concentrated nutrients, such as those high in vitamin C, will keep skin looking youthful and aid in preventing signs of aging. Regular facials and exfoliation also contribute to the skin’s appearance by clearing away dead skin cells, aiding in a clear complexion.

When basic skin care is not enough, Shvidler recommends adding chemical peels and additional options, such as Botox injections, gravitational fillers and the use of CO2 lasers to help regain a youthful appearance. vANDREA LERUM For additional skin care tips and information: multicaremedspa.org korrinesfacialandwaxingstudio.com SHOWCASE MAGAZINE
