The neighbors (including this writer) werea little suspicious, but he soon introduced himselfto us all, and became good friends with the neighborhooddog, Jamie (recently passed). Kennedy,his wife Kate Darling and his business, Blind MosesWoodworking, are now fixtures in Astoria, and planto stay.The custom homebuilder has beenat his trade for 30years, performingevery craft requiredin the constructionof a custom home,from cabinet makingto foundation.Its hands-on, andthe finest materials.Renovationis his groove too,and many folks inthe region havehad the pleasureof working with Tim Kennedy and appreciating histop-level craftsmanship, his calm demeanor andcool aesthete.No stranger to camping, Kennedy had what headmitted was a fantastic childhood. Summers werespent foraging in Birch Bay, camping at DeceptionPass, and working on strawberry farms on VashonIsland, near Seattle. Camping out while on buildingprojects “is just part of the fun.”When asked the perennial question, “Whydid you move to Astoria?” Kennedy answers, “Itfelt like home.” He gave the same answer whenexplaining why he moved to Fairbanks, Alaska aftera short stint in trade school after graduating highA striking new hand-built homeat 736 Grand.

He movedto Portland in 1989,but confided thatalthough Portlandis a great city,“It never felt likehome.” While there,he often took projectsthat had himsetting up camp inManzanita, LincolnCity and other citiesalong the coast. Sowhile these projectstook him away from his family, they introduced himto the Oregon coast, and he liked what he saw.Growing up on Puget Sound, Kennedy is anavid boater, and you can find him in the waterhere often with his kayak. He even paddled with afriend from Alaska to Russia one summer, on anadventure that could easily be a feature movie.He was arrested upon entering Russia for missingpaperwork, and had to plead with the authorities tobe released. It all ended up OK, but was a lessonin bureaucracy. He and Darling have also been toRussia the more conventional way.Blind Moses Woodworking (named after a pastdog of Kennedy’s) has been involved in manycontinued on page 14july11 hipfishmonthly.com12
