Marlow Harris 18 Mar 2011 | 2:12 am Cindy Saver dropped by my broker’s open house last week and shot a few impromptu photos with her fancy camera and noted my internet efforts online, and I was thrilled with the results. Cindy is a broker with Gerrard Beattie and Knapp on Capitol Hill, and we were neighbors briefly when I lived on Federal and she had a home around the corner on Blaine. Seattle’s such a small town.
