Joy Huber 1942- 2021)
Joy Huber, a child of Seattle, and longtime creator of community, grace, and joy in Eastlake, passed away peacefully at home, with love and family present, on June 16, 2021. The 79th anniversary of her birth date was Wednesday, July 7, and so on that day at Golden Gardens Park her husband, David Talbert Huber; four daughters (Kirsten, Rosemary, Ruth and Diana); and six grandchildren (from oldest, Kyle, Hayley, Braden, Benjamin, Athena and Leonardo) and many friends who also were touched by Joy, celebrated her life and mourned her passing.
In this 1993 photo (taken at the Eastlake P-Patch, 2900 Fairview Avenue E.) Joy Huber poses with one of the “walking fish”,
emblem of an effort (still continuing) to improve pedestrian access to and along Eastlake’s shorelines.
Daniel M. Streissguth, 1924-2020
Daniel Streissguth, grew up in Monroe, Washington, served in World War II, and traveled the world. Seattle became his home, where he contributed greatly to life at the University of Washington and to his home neighborhood of North Capitol Hill. An architecture graduate of UW and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, he served for 39 years on the faculty of the University of Washington Architecture program, including eight years as its chair. Streissguth designed or co-designed more than 70 projects including Gould Hall where the architecture program is headquartered; and the building and grounds of Wells Medina Nursery. He also designed several modernist homes, including his own on North Capitol Hill where Daniel and his wife Anne (and with their son Ben as he grew up) jointly designed, built, and maintained the nearby Streissguth Gardens (now a City of Seattle park, but still maintained by volunteers) and co-authored the 2009 book, In Love with a Hillside Garden. The modest Seattle Times obituary (click here) was written by Daniel himself. Tributes from his memorial service are collected on the Streissguth Gardens web site. Other tributes include two by the modernist architecture association Docomomo US/WEWA (click here and here) and two by the UW College of Agriculture (click here and here).
