Salish Lodge and Spa is fully cooperating with Public Health to implement recommendations and is facilitating testing for staff to reduce the risk of further transmission. Out of abundance of caution, Salish Lodge and Spa is also temporarily suspended operations and worked with Public Health – Seattle and King County to determine when it was safe to restart operations.

For a smaller gathering, attending the talk of master nature artist and Lake Forest Park resident Tony Angell is a consideration if you find enjoyment in the arts.

Angell’s work is currently on display at the Foster / White Gallery in historic Pioneer Square from now until March 21, 2020. 

Interview with Tony Angell at the Foster/White Gallery in Pioneer Square

Angell spoke at the gallery this past Saturday, but will speak again this Saturday, March 14th from 2:00pm -3:00pm. 

With Foster/White’s high ceilings, vast open spaces, and the ability to either sit in chairs or stand up, there is a comfortable space for everyone at this gallery. 

Tony Angell and his Lake Forest Park Fan Club


After listening to the one hour delightful interview and talk on Saturday, it made me want to know much more about how Angell’s work has been inspired by living in Lake Forest Park.

Watch for that article in the future!

CANCELLED - Destinations: A raucous night of Balkan music, dance, drinks, food, even monsters

Saturday, February 22, 2020

March 6, 2020 - Out of an abundance of caution, this event has been cancelled.



BALKAN NIGHT NORTHWEST
MARCH 7, 2020 - 5pm to Midnight

On March 7, Seattle’s Montlake neighborhood will come alive with Balkan music as musicians, dancers, and community members converge on Saint Demetrios Hall.

Now in its ninth year, Balkan Night Northwest is renowned for bringing world class Balkan artists to the Northwest and for featuring some of the best Balkan musicians from local communities.

This year, the festival’s featured guest will be Yuri Yunakov, a legend of Roma (formerly called Gypsy) music. Yunakov’s known for his impossibly frenetic take on Balkan brass band music (he’s a saxophonist) and Bulgarian-Roma wedding music. Together with members of New York’s Roma community, he’ll bring music so technically complex and dazzlingly virtuosic that few outside of the Roma world can play it.

Balkan Night Northwest will feature three stages spread throughout Saint Demetrios Hall, with all three stages featuring dancing throughout. Lines of dancers spread throughout the hall, and anyone is welcome to join in!

Young kukeri


Traditional food will be offered on two floors of the building, drawing from Greek and Croatian communities. 

You will want to be there are the beginning to see the coming of the kukeri, giant costumed characters from traditional Balkan lore set around Mardi Gras. Participants work tirelessly on their costumes the week before, and enter the building from the street to the buzzing sound of Balkan bagpipes.

Destinations: Space Needle fireworks show may be in jeopardy

Tuesday, December 31, 2019

By Diane Hettrick

Seattle Center always throws a big party for New Year's. Winterfest features an ice rink, and continuous daytime activities. 305 Harrison St, Seattle 98109 (campus map and transportation options)

At 10pm on New Year's Eve they have a big dance party and light show at the International Fountain.

It often rains, but that never stops anyone here.

At midnight a huge pyrotechnic show is planned for the Space Needle. There are parties in the restaurants on the Needle, where people burst into phony hilarity when the camera turns on them.

People on the ground below get cricks in their necks leaning back to see the fireworks - which are pretty impressive on the spot. The fireworks are coordinated with music, except for that one awful year when something misfired and the music was ten minutes ahead - or was it behind? It was cringeworthy.

Sweet Joyce Taylor was one of the newscasters shivering in the cold to cover the event live and she kept trying to think of positive things to say - a lost cause.

When it all goes off well, it can be quite wonderful.

Which brings us to Tuesday night. The Seattle Fire Marshall said that if the wind gusts are 35mph, it's not safe to be blowing things up. Too great a danger of fire.

According to our WeatherWatcher a high wind advisory has been issued. "Southeast winds of 20 to 35mph with gusts to 45mph expected. Winds are expected to be strongest between 9pm and 2am."

The show is only ten minutes long. It's possible that marshall could allow the show.

If it does, and you are there - send us some photos!

Destinations: Leavenworth lighting festival draws huge crowds and five mile back up

Leavenworth lighting festival
Photo by Brian Munoz

There is just one more weekend of the annual Christmas lighting and festivities in Leavenworth. Last weekend we saw large crowds. Saturday’s backups were more than five miles and added more than an hour to travel times from the Big Y Junction (Jct. US 2 and 97) to Leavenworth. 

This Saturday’s event is expected to draw similar crowds.

On Saturday and Sunday, traffic lights and crosswalk lights (known as HAWK lights) will be shut off in Leavenworth beginning at 1pm (so they don’t interfere with the light display). Flaggers will help guide traffic both nights.

If you need to take US 2 this weekend, be prepared for winter driving conditions, check traffic and pass information with the WSDOT app or WSDOT travel alerts, pack water and snacks for traveling, and stay attentive while driving so that everyone can safely reach their destination.

Destinations: Sea-Meow: Seattle Cat Convention Oct 26-27

Wednesday, October 16, 2019

Attention all feline enthusiasts — the time is meow for Seattle's first-ever cat convention!

Up to 5,000 attendees are expected next weekend at Sea-Meow Convention, a weekend-long celebration of all things cat that is sure to leave kitty lovers feline fine.

In addition to announcing what is anticipated to be the Pacific Northwest's largest cat convention, Sea-Meow Convention has also named Seattle Humane as its official charity beneficiary, with $5 of each ticket sale going to the region's largest animal shelter, which finds families for about 4,500 homeless cats each year.

This specatular event will be held from 10am to 5pm on both Saturday, October 26 and Sunday, October 27, 2019 at the Seattle Center Exhibition Hall 301 Mercer St, Seattle, WA 98109.

General admission tickets range between $15 for children's admission to $40 for a two-day adult pass, and they can be purchased at www.seameowcon.com.

Attendees who make the trek to the mecca of cat people can expect a furbulous festival that includes such purrfections as:
  • a cat meowing contest,
  • more than 80 cat-themed vendors,
  • workshops on such subjects as clicker training for cats,
  • a cat cafe,
  • introductions to adoptable cats,
  • yoga with cats,
  • panels on such topics as how to make your cat famous on Instagram,
  • cat cosplay,
  • and such venerable feline celebrities as Instagram star BenBen CatCat and music icon Moshow the Cat Rapper.

"Sea-Meow Con will have it all," said Andrew Hsieh, one of the convention's co-founders. "Cat fashion, cat art, cat music, celebrity cats, workshops, seminars, experts from rescues and charities — they'll all be under one roof."

Hsieh pounced on the cat scene in 2015 when he opened Seattle's first cat cafe, Seattle Meowtropolitan, and he said it seemed a logical next step to create the region's biggest cat-lover pawty. (Seattle Meowtropolitan is a co-producer of the convention, along with the Meowtropolitan Foundation.)"

"It's about time we have a cat convention in Seattle," Hsieh said.

Seattle Humane officials agree.

"We here at the shelter count ourselves among the most enthusiastic of cat enthusiasts, and we're incredibly excited to participate in an event that celebrates this particular community," said Lisa Drake, Chief Operations Officer at Seattle Humane.

Other participating animal welfare organizations include Regional Animal Services of King County, Shoreline's Seattle Area Feline Rescue, Canopy Cat Rescue, Feral Cat Project, and the Feral Cat Sanctuary, and many others.

More information about the convention and to stay tuned for more exciting scheduling announcements, here.

SEA-MEOW CONVENTION'S MISSION:

"Our mission is rooted in helping cats by bringing together all of the cat people under one roof and supporting feline organizations around the United States in meaningful ways. We aim to connect our community, educate, spread feline awareness, inspire people to participate in the animal welfare community, and, of course, get a bunch of cats adopted!"

The Puyallup parade

Photos by Steven H. Robinson

You may know about the Western Washington Fair in Puyallup - but did you know that it starts with a parade down the main street in the town of Puyallup?


Steve Robinson was there with his camera to capture some of the highlights. The parade led up to the gates of the fair and inside (after a bag check and purchase of a ticket!)


The Grand Marshal is wearing a plaid shirt and sitting on a bale of hay in the back of a pick up truck.



The fair continues until September 22, 2019. But for now, enjoy the parade!



Looks like a fire vehicle - just different horsepower



Donkey - horse mix? Beautiful animal.
The little buggy looks like it should be carrying the town doctor.


Fire department - wonder what vintage this beauty is.

Destinations: Whale watching from Anacortes

Monday, July 1, 2019



Text and photos by Wayne Pridemore

Wayne and Lucy Pridemore say they have driven by the Island Adventure whale watching office in Anacortes dozens of times.

Part of an orca pod

We decided it was time to give it a try and play the tourist.


Other boats were out on the water

The day was perfect, no wind and no waves, so it was easier to spot the whales from the large catamaran Island Explorer. The boat is almost new and very comfortable. 


Minke baleen whale

The first whale sighting was a Minke baleen whale. 


More orcas from the pod

We were treated throughout the four hour cruise to several sightings of Orca pods.




We both enjoyed the experience.

Destinations: Two Pride Parades in Seattle this weekend

June is designated as Pride Month because the Pride movement started with the Stonewall riots in Greenwich Village, New York in June of 1969. (Wikipedia article)

The biggest local events are this weekend, at the end of the month, with a festival on Capitol Hill and a parade in downtown Seattle.


Pride flag at Shoreline City Hall

Capitol Hill PrideFest begins at noon on Saturday, June 29, 2019 with events lasting until 9pm.

The biggest festival day on Capitol Hill all year long! Return to the place where Pride was held for decades, now a 5-block festival with food, vendors, 5 stages of entertainment, and the most diverse crowd you’ll see all year long. Best of all, it’s free.

500 E Pike, Seattle. Drive to the University Stadium light rail station and go to the Capitol Hill station and you'll be right in the middle of the festivities. Don't even think about driving. Capitol Hill is one of Seattle's most congested neighborhoods, even without 50,000 partygoers!

The 45th annual Seattle Pride Parade begins at 11am Sunday, June 30, 2019 and will go along 4th Avenue from Westlake Park to the Seattle Center. The parade is approximately four hours long.

Light rail is your best bet to get to this downtown Seattle event. There is a Westlake station that will put you right at the starting point of the parade.

Rob Oxford: If Not Today, To Maui

Thursday, May 9, 2019

Hawaiian Green Sea Turtles warming themselves in the sun
at Ho’okipa beach

Text and photos by Rob Oxford


“I just flew in (from Hawaii)…”, but unlike radio personality Robert Q. Lewis (who famously coined the phrase),…“my arms aren’t tired”. I am, however, ready to go back and at the time of this writing, it’s only been a week.

This is my second trip to the island of Maui and neither trip would have been possible without the expertise, planning, and generosity of my in-laws. They’ve made Maui a regular destination for the last several years and going with someone who knows the “lay of the land” certainly has its advantages.

As a kid in Texas, our Spring Break destination was always Mexico. Usually Cabo, Cozumel, Puerta Vallarta, Cancun or Matamoros, just across the border from Brownsville, TX. I’ve been everywhere south of the border and I’ve always had a great time. But now, after having experienced the splendor of the 50th State, I see no reason to go anywhere else in search of paradise.

Luau at the Grand Wailea


Our first trip to the island as a family was three years ago and over before we knew it.

Sunset at Lahaina

We tried to do everything, spending more time in our rental car than we probably should have, but there’s just so much to see. Beautiful picturesque beaches, palm trees and lush green hills where sugarcane and pineapple once grew in abundance.

Now, if you’re expecting a history lesson, you’ve clicked on the wrong link. I’ll leave that for the locals who grew up on the island.

Some will have a different perspective on tourism and the growth and development of Maui, but the fact of the matter is “if you leave it as you found it,” none should have a problem with your visiting.

Yes, Hawaii can be expensive. But if you know how to budget, it can also be the trip of a lifetime.

A common first stop for island visitors is the Costco in Kahului. If you’re staying in a B and B or Condominium, stocking up on breakfast, lunch and snack items is essential and will save you money for dinner out at any number of fabulous restaurants.

Because most everything is shipped to the island, items most of us take for granted can be extremely expensive. Running across the street to the little market in Kihei (where we stay) because you ran out of milk, can set you back $8.00 for a half gallon.

Parking lot security at Costco

The Costco is also where you’ll find great deals on beach towels, snorkeling gear (which if you indeed purchase, you’ll need to remember must be carried back with you on the plane) and discounts on everything from luaus to Whale Watching tours. Also, they have the best parking lot security on the island.

Once you have arrived at your home away from home and unpack, the pool or beach is most often your first destination. Make sure you pack your swimsuit last, so it’s easy to find.

After a few days of soaking up the sun and if you have access to a vehicle, you may want to take a drive and head “upcountry” on the Hana Highway.

Just before you reach Ho’okipa Beach you’ll find the famous Mama’s Fish House. Although one of the more expensive restaurants on the island, the food, service and views are why this particular destination is recognized world-wide.

At Ho’okipa itself, you’ll find dozens of Hawaiian Green Sea Turtles warming themselves in the sun and some of the best waves on the Maui coastline.

Kevin Cabrera and Ehukai Awo
Lifeguards at Ho’okipa

A mecca for surfers of all ages since the 1930’s, you’ll also find Kevin Cabrera and Ehukai Awo, two of “Maui’s finest,” constantly on alert for surfers in distress.

A little further up 36 (Hana Highway), the quaint little hamlet of Paia has several interesting shops and is home to Charley’s.

Famous for welcoming many notable musicians to its stage, Charley’s is also where Willie Nelson has breakfast…”eggs over with a side of bacon” when he is staying at his place on the island.

Charley’s is also known to have hosted some pretty interesting celebrity card games in the past.

Paia is also where Pat Simmons Jr. (son of Doobie Brothers co-founder Pat Simmons Sr.) grew up and where he is raising his family.

I was fortunate to hear Pat perform during my recent trip and credit him with explaining to me what it means to “live aloha”.


Pat Simmons, Jr. and son Malu

To reach the artist village of Makawao and somewhere, the well-hidden vacation home of Oprah Winfrey, you’ll need to take Baldwin Ave. or Hwy 390 out of Paia.

There, local artist Sherri Reeve, with her colorful creations, has caught the eye of another island resident, Steven Tyler of Aerosmith.

Famous for his fashion statement, Steven can occasionally be seen wearing some of Sherri’s brightly colored shirts and scarves.

Another must see is Haleakala National Park. 10,000 feet above sea level, the crater is famous for its breathtaking views, especially at sunrise.

Although the drive is manageable on your own, there are several companies that offer tours complete with hotel pickup, drop off and breakfast at the famous Kula Lodge. For the more adventurous, cycling down the mountain is also an option provided by several tour companies.

Snorkeling with Triggerfish

Before deciding to take the “Road To Hana,” one must understand that most of the stories are true.

The road is narrow and winding, and those who travel it daily have very little patience for the “Malihini” or tourist, wanting to soak up every single nuance of the upcountry.

Most of these people are NOT on vacation and after a long day at work, simply want to get home to their families.

That of course is understandable, but the “Road” offers a view into Hawaiian life not seen from the beach towns of Kihei or Lahaina.

The roadside stands of fresh fruit and flowers, the Bamboo Forest or the Seven Sacred Pools must all be seen to be believed.

Now let’s get down to the nitty gritty. Because you are up at 5:30am and still on Pacific Time, pop into the Cinnamon Roll Place on S. Kihei Road… they know me quite well, I can assure you. Later on, its Cones on Kihei.

If these delectable waffle cones and the hand-dipped ice cream are good enough for Alice Cooper or Clint Eastwood, they’re good enough for you.

1967 Shoreline High School
graduate Captain Don Burns

It would be extremely difficult to pick a favorite adventure during our recent trip, but at the very top would certainly be snorkeling with the crew of the Seafire.

Owned and operated by 1967 Shoreline High School graduate Don Burns, the trip out to Molokini Crater is incredible and extremely affordable. Equipment, snacks and knowledgeable narration is provided by a staff who absolutely love what they do and it clearly shows.

So, if you’re a fan of sea creatures, this is a must! Dolphin, White-tip Shark, Moray Eel, Humpback Whale, Green Hawaiian Turtles and every color of tropical fish you can imagine only inches from your mask.

Not to be overlooked is a day trip to Lahaina. With its rich history including the Banyan Tree, the Lighthouse (originally built in 1866), Bubba Gump Shrimp, Margaritaville, Kimo’s, the various outlet and jewelry stores that line Front Street, (Mick) Fleetwood’s Restaurant and the accompanying Morrison Hotel Gallery, Lahaina’s unique charm makes it a desired destination for people from all over the world.

Finally, if you’re wanting to really experience “Hawaii” and the true feeling of Ohana (family), there are any number of luaus happening nightly that will provide an abbreviated but informative look into the Polynesian culture. You can’t beat good food, the hula and a mai tai at sunset.

I truly hope that very soon you’ll get the opportunity to visit Hawaii. When you do just remember to “leave it as you found it”

Destinations: Cherry trees are in bloom at the University of Washington

Tuesday, April 2, 2019

 

Photos by Wayne Pridemore

It's the annual blooming of the cherry trees at the University of Washington. The trees are located in the Quad - the courtyard within a rectangular arrangement of gothic style buildings on upper campus.



The Quad itself is very picturesque with geometric pathways criss-crossing the area between the buildings. When the cherry trees are in bloom, it's a photo opportunity waiting to happen. Others are content to sit and enjoy the day.

The trees were moved to the Quad in 1963 and are over 60 years old. The trunks show their age.



Wayne Pridemore was there on what could have been Family Day. The pathways are full of strollers and young families.


Young men take photos of young women with a backdrop of blossoms.


Professional photographers take advantage of the perfect setting.



Moms show their babies the beautiful flowers



And kids and dogs just enjoy the walk.

And the sun, being cooperative for once, shines down on them all.

The north entrance to the University of Washington is at 17th NE and NE 45th St, Seattle 98105.
