The Pacific Northwest evokes images of majestic mountain ranges, spectacular waterfalls, lush, evergreen forests, island archipelagos, and abundant lakes and streams. To those of us who call this region home, it is often time to appreciate and take quiet joy in the daily beauty and serenity we enjoy in our everyday lives.

The Pacific Northwest is also referred to as Cascadia, which references the cascades and waterfalls plentiful in the region. The Cascade Mountain Range was so named owing to its position so close to so many falls and river cascades.
The Glant Family first arrived in the Pacific Northwest from Denver in 1897 and it has been our home ever since.

In 1949, Gary’s parents purchased a home in Seattle’s scenic Mt Baker neighborhood and to this day, Gary’s, and his son Adam’s lives have centered around this beautiful area of Seattle, which sits on the shore and ridge along magnificent Lake Washington. In the early 1900’s the Olmsted Brothers, who designed Central Park in New York, were hired to design Seattle’s Parks and Boulevards, as well as the soon to be developed residential Mt Baker Park.

Scenic names for the avenues and boulevards of Mt Baker Park were chosen to reflect the fine views of the Cascade Mountain Range, the proximity to the shores of Lake Washington and the magnificent vistas of Mt Rainier, the tallest mountain in the Cascade Range.

GLANT Autumn 2025 reflects the beauty of this area of Seattle where the Glant family resides.
