Falken Christopher Forshaw

Falken added to my life in many ways of sharing. We often visited in the Everett Libary's NW Room where i worked. Conversations ranged from architecture=, nature, meditation, life in general and an incredible sharing of music (all kinds) He definitely was an encourager.

It was an honor to work with Falken, who was a charter member of the Snohomish County Historic Preservation Commission which I was privileged to staff through my position as Snohomish County's Sr. Planner for Historic Preservation. His calm and reasoned approach to various ideas and controversies, and his wonderful sense of humor often defused even the most tense discussions and helped the commission reach consensus as we all worked to preserve the precious cultural heritage of our community.

A memory... Falken was driving three of us to our TM meditation group in NW Portland. With his ever-artistic eye, he directed us to this cloud formation that I captured. Yep, dem´s some special ships camouflaged in the clouds. Thanks, Falcon, for noticing. We had a pretty good chuckle. And always just enough fun. Carry on.

I remember Fallken very fondly,he was a daily visitor to the hospital for coffee and great conversation. He and Susan were a daily welcome visitor.There were days Harper and Avalon would come as well . Watching them grow leaves great memories. Sorry to hear of Falkens passing and send my condolences to his family. Rest well

We have many fond memories of Falken and Susan when they lived in Everett. They held a Valentines festival in their house, moving furniture to accommodate handmade treasures from local artists. I participated several years and it was a special place. I remember Susan and Falken making homemade pasta and of course many other artistic gifts. I always had such interesting conversations with Falken when we talked. Sure missed them both as neighbors when they moved to Portland. RIP Falken.
