Pioneer Park Youth Club (PPYC) - Grand Reopening of the Lakeview Teacher’s Cottage!

July 15, 2022

We made history! Out of fire and smoke came inspiration, determination and generosity. Thank you, Mercer Island community, for making it happen.

Please join us for a Mayoral Ribbon-Cutting celebration in the front yard of the restored historic Teacher’s Cottage at 8635 SE 68th Street, Mercer Island on Wednesday, July 20, 2022, 4:30pm - 6pm. Our celebration will include VIP addresses, the unveiling of historical markings, and an opportunity to tour the renovated cottage.

Refreshments will be provided. We will also be offering tours of the Mercer Island Saddle Club stables and the newly placed donor recognition plaques.

Not to late to contribute to this historic cause! Carrots for Cottage ($100+up) level donors are invited to feed treats and visit select horses. Lakeview Schoolhouse donors ($500+up) are invited on a rare group tour of the historic schoolhouse building after the ceremonies.

Your generous donations will go towards paying down the $40,000 loan taken to finish restoring this piece of local history. Thank you!

SZ unequivocally supports the right to safe & legal abortions

July 1, 2022

It’s been a week since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, the landmark case that had guaranteed the right to an abortion since 1973. This is an unprecedented attack on women’s rights and reproductive freedom. Every person who can become pregnant deserves reproductive autonomy. Our firm unequivocally supports the right to safe and legal abortions.

We are actively listening to advocacy groups working towards protecting these rights and pledging sustained contributions to organizations that provide reproductive healthcare. Because the Supreme Court’s ruling disproportionately harms Black, Brown, and other people impacted by systemic inequities, SZ is supporting groups that serve vulnerable communities. We respect the personal choice of each sovereign individual, and believe that abortion access should be a fundamental right, regardless of race, gender, identity, economic status, or location.

The Court’s hostile ruling makes it clear that other freedoms are at risk. There is too much at stake for silence or inaction. We urge you to use your voice, resources and vote to stand against oppression in all its forms.

SZ Build Series - Episode 1: Excavation & Groundwork

May 12, 2022

As a Design | Build team, SZ Build offers the unique advantage of leading projects from inception to completion. We thought it would be fun to share in this gratifying process, as we launch our SZ Build Video Series. Through these construction vignettes, we’ll give you a sneak peak into the sequencing and technical prowess of our rockstar subcontractors, as our designs come to life!

Our first episode features the groundbreaking of a new Detached Accessory Dwelling Unit (DADU) on Mercer Island. You’ll see our team move dirt to allow for on-site stormwater detention, retain the sloped site and prepare wet soils for new concrete footings and foundation walls. We build for the beauty, durability and longevity of our homes.
