Local Shoreline boutique hosts a retro-themed, mid-year maker market featuring live entertainment and an exclusive 20 percent discount on handmade goods.

Attendees will have the unique opportunity to hunt through a curated mid-year studio clearing. Local artists are rotating their inventory to make room for upcoming fall and winter creations, making this the perfect afternoon for treasure hunters who love the thrill of the find, as you never know what hidden gems you might discover. To help rehome these special pieces, artisans are offering a rare 20 percent discount on select items.

Event Highlights Include:

• Exclusive Discounts: 20 percent off beautiful handcrafted items, providing the perfect excuse to cross off holiday gift lists early and stress-free.
• Curated Shopping: A diverse selection of local art, encouraging attendees to support small businesses while finding rare items for loved ones or themselves.
• Live Entertainment and Dining: A vibrant lineup of live performances, local food options, and the signature cozy community energy that Salvation is known for.

Metro Bus shelter in Lake Forest Park honors Octavia Butler

Artwork celebrating the writer Octavia Butler is revealed at a bus shelter at the intersection of Ballinger Way and NE 175th St in Lake Forest Park

By Jeff Switzer, King County Metro

Photos courtesy King County Metro

Revered science fiction and Afrofuturism author Octavia Butler received international accolades and inspired generations of readers worldwide – and continues to be recognized and beloved in the corner of Lake Forest Park she called home.

Fans now can enjoy a new moment of reflection and remembrance at a Metro bus stop mural honoring Butler, at Ballinger Way NE and NE 175th Street and across from the largest bookstore in town (Third Place Books). 

The bus stop artwork joins other recognition worthy of a trip to Lake Forest Park that includes visiting Octavia Butler Avenue and a massive mural inside Third Place Commons.

Linocut artists Eileen Jimenez and Andrea Marcos collaborated with Sam Smith in Metro’s Transit Route Facilities section to develop, create and install the bus stop mural to honor the memory and timeless contributions of Butler.

“It’s a wonderful opportunity to be able to reflect on the work of an artist,” Eileen Jimenez said. “I grew up riding the bus and wish I had been able to see art like this at bus stops!”

“It’s an honor to be a part of this project,” Andrea Marcos said. “The work of Octavia Butler was extremely transformative in my life and because I love public transit, this nexus of those things was particularly meaningful.”

This new mural joins Metro’s sprawling gallery of 1,300 bus shelter murals across King County, showcasing the work of hundreds of artists and honoring leaders throughout the region’s history.

“Octavia Butler’s writing has always inspired me to strive for a better world, and I truly believe in the power of public transit to contribute to that better world,” Sam Smith said. “I am so honored I got to work with these amazing artists to bring Octavia’s legacy to a Metro bus stop in her community.”

About two dozen people turned out for the streetside ceremonial unveiling of the mural, including Lake Forest Park city leaders.

“Celebration of the arts and a local artist is absolutely critical, and Octavia was a real inspiration to so many people in the region, around the world, and our community as well,” Mayor Tom French said. “She really created a broad impact for our community.”

The mural rounds out an emerging Octavia Butler trail that includes Octavia Butler Avenue, a massive mural inside Third Place Commons and now the bus shelter mural, said Lake Forest Park Deputy Mayor Tracy Furutani.

Inspired by both Octavia Butler’s work and the author’s creative process, linocut artists Eileen Jimenez and Andrea Marcos pulled from journals and interviews to create two portraits of Octavia, alongside notes she wrote to herself, printed in her own handwriting. 

We hope her words call us all into telling stories boldly, and just doing the damn thing. So be it! See to it!

Travels with Charlie: Trail Closure in Horizon View Park for Trail Repair

Story & Photos by Gordon Snyder

The trail that connects NE 201st PL into Horizon View Park is CLOSED for trail repairs. Trail closed at NE 201st PL, so head on up the hill along the road to the park.

Closed sign along the main path circling Horizon View Park.

Those tripping hazards have been dug up already. This might be one of the spots for testing the "tree cells beneath the trail”

To follow how this works, visit Horizon View Park and walk around the park.

Cheers,

July recipe from Town & Country Market: Green Goddess Bacon Avocado Burger

Green Goddess Bacon Avocado Burger

Difficulty Level: Easy
Prep Time: 15 Minutes
Cook Time: 15 Minutes
Yield: 4 Servings
Description: Give burger night a fresh twist with this Green Goddess Bacon Avocado Burger. Juicy patties are stacked with crispy bacon, creamy avocado, and herb-packed Green Goddess dressing for a burger that's rich, vibrant, and destined to become a new favorite.

Ingredients:

• 4 burger patties or 1 ½ pounds ground meat (beef, turkey, chicken, fish, or plant-based)
• 4 brioche burger buns, toasted
• T&C Green Goddess dressing
• Sliced Havarti (plain or dill) or white cheddar cheese
• 8 slices cooked crispy bacon
• Sliced avocado
• Butter lettuce
• Thinly sliced cucumber
• Pickled red onion

Preparation:

1. Preheat a grill or cast-iron skillet to medium-high heat. If making your own patties, form ground meat into 4 equal patties, slightly larger than the buns. Season generously with salt and pepper.
2. Cook burgers for 4–5 minutes per side, or until desired doneness. During the last minute of cooking, top each burger with a slice of cheese and allow it to melt.
3. While the burgers are cooked, cook bacon until crisp and set aside.
4. Toast the brioche buns until lightly golden. Spread Green Goddess dressing on the top and bottom buns.
5. Layer the bottom buns with butter lettuce, followed by the cheeseburgers, bacon, avocado, cucumber slices and pickled red onion. Top with the remaining bun halves and serve immediately.

In wake of investigation into potential fraud in county contracts County Council approves creation of Inspector General office

The King County Council on Tuesday approved legislation that will establish a new Inspector General Division within the Office of Public Complaints.

“This new accountability function is a critical step in strengthening our oversight of county-funded programs.” said King County Councilmember Rod Dembowski, who introduced the legislation.

“While rare, any waste, fraud or abuse of taxpayer funds is unacceptable. We must work to prevent it, and when it occurs, hold people accountable.”

Co-sponsored by Councilmembers Reagan Dunn, Sarah Perry, Pete von Reichbauer, Steffanie Fain and Rhonda Lewis, the legislation builds on last year’s King County Council vote approving a comprehensive reform package to overhaul oversight of taxpayer-funded grants within DCHS. 

That action followed an audit and an ongoing investigation by the Office of the Ombuds, which identified widespread oversight failures and potential fraud in county contracts. 

The approved legislation also advances recommendations from a 2025 joint report by the King County Auditor and Ombuds, which identified significant gaps in financial oversight and reporting systems. 

The legislation follows recent efforts by Council to enhance oversight and accountability of county-funded programs including the establishment of a new internal audit function within the Executive’s Office, added funding for the county ethics program, and new budget restrictions on certain DCHS grant programming.

The Inspector General Division will investigate reports of financial fraud and abuse, with the authority to issue subpoenas and pursue recovery of misspent funds. 

The division will be led by an Inspector General Director appointed to a five-year term and supported by dedicated staff, including investigators and administrative personnel.

To ensure transparency and accountability, the Inspector General Division will be required to issue written findings and recommendations when fraud, waste, or abuse is identified, and to submit an annual report to the County Council and Executive. County agencies would also be required to report suspected misconduct through established channels.

The approved ordinance also establishes a centralized King County Fraud Hotline, overseen by the Inspector General Division, creating a single point of access for reporting suspected fraud and improper conduct. 

The legislation also updates county policies by clearly defining fraud, waste, and abuse, requiring standardized inspection language in county contracts and grants, and aligning King County practices with those used by federal Offices of Inspector General and other jurisdictions nationwide.

“It's our duty to ensure that oversight mechanisms are robust and that taxpayer dollars are used effectively and responsibly,” said Councilmember Jorge Barón.

“Today's legislation furthers those goals and demonstrates the strong support from this Council for transparency and accountability across your regional government.”

The Inspector General Division will work collaboratively with the County Auditor and Ombuds, whose roles remain distinct, focusing on performance oversight and administrative misconduct, respectively.

Funding for creation of the new division was included in a supplemental budget approved by Council two weeks ago.

Vendor applications open for the 2nd Annual Greenhouse Winter Market November 14-15, 2026

It may seem early to be thinking of the holidays just yet, but if you’re a small business creative/maker/retail team, it’s definitely already begun.

Sky Nursery is SO excited to be hosting this new Shoreline Community tradition once again. It was a joy and an honor to be a part of last year's market, where dozens of vendors were able to share unique, handcrafted goods and community members helped gather literal TONS of food and financial support for Hopelink’s vital nonprofit work. 

It was, in a word, galvanizing. This year will hopefully be no different and we look forward to seeing you there, in one way or another. 

Application is here. If you have questions, please hit up Shoreline Farmers Market , they’re doing the incredible work of weaving together vendors, farmers and food trucks.

Lake Forest Bar & Grill is closing its doors after Sunday July 12, 2026

Photo by Bob Cerelli

After 19 years in Town Center, Lake Forest Bar & Grill will be closing its doors.

"Like so many independent restaurants, we’ve faced ongoing financial challenges that we simply can no longer overcome. This is not the ending we hoped for, but it is the reality we now face.

"Our plan is to remain open through Sunday evening. We hope you’ll stop by one last time to enjoy a meal, share a memory, and say goodbye. Every visit this week will help us achieve one very important goal: earning enough to pay our incredible team one final paycheck. They have worked tirelessly to serve this community, and we would love nothing more than to take care of them one last time.

"To our guests, neighbors, friends, and everyone who has supported us over the past 19 years—thank you. You’ve allowed us to be part of birthdays, anniversaries, first dates, family dinners, game days, and countless everyday moments. We will always be grateful for that.

"Please come see us one last time before we close our doors. We’d love the chance to thank you in person."

With sincere gratitude,

USA plays final World Cup game in Seattle

Photo by Mike Remarcke

By Diane Hettrick

The final Seattle World Cup game was played on Tuesday, July 7, 2026 with USA vs Belgium in the Round of 16.

It was exciting that Team USA got to the top 16 and seemed appropriate that they played in Seattle. I had to keep reminding myself that they were a national team and not a Seattle team.

I did wonder if the south end would be conflicted. The Belgium team based itself in King County, practicing in Renton, which apparently had adopted the team.

Mike Remarcke went to Pioneer Square for the game. There were big outdoor screens and thousands of people in the streets, which were turned into pedestrian zones for the occasion.

Photo by Mike Remarcke

He said it was a wonderful experience.

Seattle did an admirable job with the World Cup events and crowds.

The only part that did not go as predicted was that the crowds, inside and outside the stadium, were not there to shop or find somewhere new to eat. Merchants who were expecting and hoping for a boost were disappointed.

Otherwise, Seattle has apparently turned into a soccer town. We'll miss all those lovely people from around the world.

USMNT (that's us) lost the game, in case you didn't hear. But someone loses every game and it didn't seem to change the euphoria as much as everyone leaving town for Vancouver.
