KIRKLAND — On a warm summer morning, the views from this second-floor condominium have to be some of the nicest in the region. One can see for miles around Lake Washington, all the way to downtown Seattle, the Space Needle peeking out in the distance.
On fall Saturdays, though, the best views tend to be isolated indoors. Here, in one corner of Carol James’ convivial home, college football still carries special significance.
There are two lounging chairs and a small sofa facing two television sets. If the action is good enough, Carol will roll in a third TV set from a bedroom, all tuned to a different game.
