Feng Shui by Plan

Monday, February 8th, 2010

For more than 3,000 years, humans have relied on the art and science of Feng Shui to balance the energies—or Chi—in our living spaces. And now, at Westcott Homes’, we too have employed the principles of Feng Shui to design the homes and neighborhood of Langley Meadows in Renton and Mountain Ridge in Monroe.

Look at some of the top Feng Shui properties of these new homes, and learn more about Feng Shui here.

The Beacon

  • Good definition of the door (The Mouth of Chi) with the pillars on either side.
  • The family room, dining room and kitchen have a good connection to each other
  • The interior stairs are well placed.
  • The foyer is open and welcoming and allows Chi to flow easily and harmoniously
  • Bedrooms #2 & #3 provide great spots for proper bed placement.

The Leschi

  • The Master Bedroom allows for good bed placement.
  • The hallways on the 2nd floor are well laid out and serve to guide Chi optimally to all bedrooms and areas.
  • The rest of the bedrooms – bedrooms #2, #3 and #4 all provide for good bed placement which translates to health and wealth.

The Montlake

  • The excellent kitchen translates into strong finances and good relations between male and female energy (yin/yang) .
  • The stairs are in good position. Energy is not flowing out the door but stays contained in the home.
  • The owner’s suite is well laid out. The bed can be placed with a strong wall of support behind it instead of windows behind.

The Ravenna

  • This home has a good placement for the Owner’s Suite in relation to the rest of the home because it is in the Partnership and Marriage area of the home and is conducive to creating and enhancing strong partnerships and marriages.
  • The bed can be placed using correct Feng Shui (wall behind, window to the side).

Currently, Renton is home to over 82,000 people, making it the 11th largest city in Washington and the 5th largest in King County.

History of Renton

The City of Renton started as a coal mining town in 1873 when the Renton Coal Company, backed by Captain William Renton, organized.

Finally, on September 6, 1901, the town was incorporated, and Dr. Abijah Ives Beach, a physician who provided care for the coal miners, took over as the first mayor.

During World War II, Boeing selected Renton for a plant that would produce B-29s for the military. The new plant brought thousands seeking employment and the city grew to become what it is today.
