Jean Darsie, one of the founders of the Ballard Community Taskforce on Homelessness and Hunger (BCTHH) and longtime advocate for people experiencing homelessness, passed away recently on August 27, 2022, after an illness. Jean was a member of the LIHI's Whittier Heights Tiny House Village Community Advisory Council.
Said Sally Kinney of BCTHH, "Jean's list of accomplishments and areas of advocacy is long. Suffice it to say that she loved Ballard, the City of Seattle, the State of Washington, our country, and the whole universe of humans, animals, and plants, and did everything in her considerable power to make life better for everyone and everything in that universe. She is a huge loss."
LIHI Executive Director Sharon Lee said, “Jean Darsie was a huge supporter of LIHI’s Ballard Urban Rest Stop, Cheryl Chow Court, tiny house villages, and permanent housing solutions. She was exemplary in her advocacy to end homelessness and spoke truth to power. It is with great sadness to receive news of her passing. It is with great joy that we can all honor Jean’s legacy and her tremendous awe inspiring dedication.”
I really enjoyed this post because it focuses on simple upgrades that anyone can apply. Home décor doesn’t always require big changes, and your suggestions prove that beautifully. Adding a decorative shelf to my living room helped me display a few favorite items without cluttering the area. Your explanation about choosing the right placement made a big difference for me. I appreciate how easy your guides are to understand. Excited for more of your helpful content!
Found some surprisingly good local news from Poltava here.
Jean Darsie’s legacy is truly inspiring—her passion and tireless work for the Ballard community and beyond left a mark that won’t be forgotten. People like her remind me that, just like in Sprunki Retake, every small action can build toward something powerful and meaningful. Honoring her by continuing the work she cared about feels like the best tribute.
Her loss is deeply felt, but her influence will Golf Hit surely inspire more action.
Reading about Jean Darsie’s legacy really hit me. Advocates like her leave behind a kind of impact that’s felt far beyond headlines — real change, real lives touched. It made me think about the people who’ve stepped in when I needed support. I once had a tough medical situation where I felt completely lost, and getting help from an Attorney specializing in healthcare honestly shifted everything for me. They listened, they acted, and I finally felt like someone had my back when it mattered most.
