This property is owned by Jerry D. and Angelina Burtenshaw. During the late 1950s and early 1960s Jerry learned the restaurant business from his father opening restaurants under a variety of names throughout the PNW. He later became in charge of Alpine-Burtco, an international catering and concessions company. The company is the concessionaire for Safeco Field (Mariners), the Tacoma Dome and the former Kingdome. Jerry and Angelina created the UW School of Medicine Jerry and Angelina Burtenshaw Scholarship to provide financial assistance to medical students. He received the Dean’s Distinguished Leadership Award from WSU, his alma mater, for leadership and financial contributions to the university. The Burtenshaws were victims of a well publicized (Seattle Times 3/22/99) robbery and trial in 1999. The robbery started in the garage of their mansion and the convicted (armed robbery, assault and kidnapping) masked gunmen-assailants were former neighbors and family friends of the Burtenshaws. The mansion is 9,790 sq ft on 0.9 acres with 178 feet of waterfront.
Vassos Demetriou, the architect of this mansion, is a renowned Kirkland based architect. He was the architect for Charles and Karen Lytle’s new Hunts Point mansion. The Lytle’s are former Mercer Island residents and the auction/sale of their $50 million Roanoke Landing mansion for $12 million in 2010 was well publicized (Seattle Mansions blog September 2010).
