What a green building project looks like here

Fremont is Seattle's 'Center of the Universe' — the 1990s arts-colony reinvention of a 1910s-1930s working-class riverside neighborhood.

Because the Lake Washington Ship Canal forms Fremont's south boundary, canal-adjacent lots fall in the 100-year floodplain with base-flood-elevation compliance.

Fremont's Craftsman bungalow stock (1905-1930) has original Douglas fir framing that needs sistering on any major structural remodel.

Seattle Energy Code performance-path, Seattle City Light rebates, all-electric conversions, heat pumps — one of the tightest energy codes in the US. In Fremont specifically, craftsman bungalow (1905-1930) stock means green building scope is shaped by the neighborhood's dominant construction typology.

Origin

Who is Baily?

Baily is named after Francis Baily — an English stockbroker who retired at 51, became an astronomer, and in 1836 described something on the edge of a solar eclipse that nobody had properly articulated before: a string of bright beads of sunlight breaking through the valleys along the moon’s rim.

He wasn’t the first to see them. Edmond Halley saw them in 1715 and barely noticed. Baily’s contribution was clarity — describing exactly what was happening, in plain language, so vividly that the whole field of astronomy paid attention. The phenomenon is still called Baily’s beads.

That’s what we wanted our AI to do. Every inbound call and text has signal in it — a homeowner’s real question, a timeline, a budget, a hesitation that means “yes but.” Baily listens to every one, 24/7, and finds the beads of light.

Baily was a businessman before he was a scientist. That’s our vibe too.
