About Belva's List

We've spent many hours on the internet over the last few years, trying to plan family trips to places such as San Francisco, Vancouver BC, and Victoria BC. Our goal was to plan a general itinerary of places to go and things to do that fit our family's time, interest, and budget.

Much to our dismay, we were unable to gain a clear idea of what these cities had to offer. In some cases the information was very general, totally lacking any cohesive or comprehensive overview. Many times the web-sites were linked to a single subject or were actually difficult to read. Some had "go to" links that didn't "go to" anything. Some were extremely colorful, with lots of pictures flashing by on the monitor of places we wanted to know more about, but could not figure out how to access that information.

When we tried to search the Seattle area for this wonderful, magical, and comprehensive list, much to our surprise, we were once again quite frustrated. So,

I said to the Bearded One, "Hey there Bearded One, let's see if we can build a web-site so easy, even we could find things on it!"

We have lived in the Seattle area for over twenty years and thought we had a pretty good grip on what was happening in and around our fair city. Well, you guessed it... We were sadly ignorant of much that our diverse area has to offer. We are here to tell you, "Ignorance is definitely not bliss."

Belva's List is our concerted effort to create a web-site so easy to navigate and understand that even the Bearded One can use it to put together an itinerary -- not to say he ever would.

We are pro-support for our locally owned businesses whenever possible. We are also pro Green and Clean, please leave nothing behind but foot-prints and smiles.

We'll be looking for you,

Belva & The Bearded One
