Having chalked up over 24 years of service to North Seattle neighborhoods, the PNA's nationally acclaimed Well Home Program has become a Seattle fixture. Where else can you get expert advice, a tool bank and a lending library of home repair reference materials? Our regular schedule of Wednesday evening classes on sustainable home improvement,  maintenance and landscape topics round out this popular program.

Check out the new water catchment system at the Phinney Neighborhood Center.

If you have questions about the Well Home classes, please call us at (206) 783-2244. For other questions about the Well Home Program, call Michael Broili at (206) 789-4993 or send e-mail to wellhome@phinneycenter.org.

Historic Seattle

The Well Home Program has also developed a collaborative partnership with Historic Seattle. Founded in 1974, Historic Seattle is dedicated to preserving the architectural past for the benefit of the future. As part of the collaboration, PNA members may attend Historic Seattle classes, lectures and some special events at Historic Seattle member discount rates. For more information, check the Historic Seattle website.

Contractors and suppliers who exhibited at the 2008 PNA Home Design & Remodeling Fair are listed here. Many of these businesses have been hired successfully by PNA members, but they are not officially recommended by the Well Home Program.

Hiring a remodeling contractor? We recommend checking references and following the guidelines set forth by the Washington State Department of Labor and Industries. Click here to get a PDF copy of their brochure: www.lni.wa.gov/IPUB/625-084-000.pdf
