Reminder: Kira Jane Buxton will be signing her new book noon Sunday at the LFP Farmers Market

Sunday, August 29, 2021

Our first in-person author signing in over 16 months!

Come meet Kira Jane Buxton, the author of Hollow Kingdom and the new novel Feral Creatures, for a special outdoor book signing at the Lake Forest Park Farmers Market!

Stop by our booth on Sunday, August 29, 2021 from 12pm to 2pm. Copies of Feral Creatures will be available for purchase at the market. No registration required.

To celebrate the release of Feral Creatures, we're also thrilled to offer limited-edition, 11x17 art prints with every purchase you make on site! These prints portray a scene from Feral Creatures that takes place at — you guessed it! — our very own Third Place Books (albeit in a post-apocalyptic future). The print, designed by Stephen Crowe, will come signed by the artist and Kira Jane Buxton. While supplies last.

And in case you missed it, our recording of Kira's launch event with Book Riot's Liberty Hardy is now on YouTube. The conversation covers a range of topics, including: climate fiction! anthropomorphism! Cheetohs! and where in the world did Kira get that great shirt?

The Lake Forest Park Farmers Market is located near the south parking lot of the Town Center at Lake Forest Park. See the Third Place Commons website for instructions on how to get there.

Sunday, August 22, 2021

Kira Jane Buxton with Liberty Hardy
in virtual presentation Tuesday
Lynnwood-based author Kira Jane Buxton will release her new novel, FERAL CREATURES, on Tuesday August 24, 2021 in a virtual presentation with Third Place Books.

Virtual book launch

Tuesday, August 24, 2021, 7:00pm, Third Place Books is honored to host local author Kira Jane Buxton for the launch of FERAL CREATURES, the highly anticipated sequel to HOLLOW KINGDOM. 

Kira will be joined in conversation by Liberty Hardy -- prolific reader, senior contributing editor for Book Riot, and host of the popular All the Books! podcast.

Art print
To celebrate, every book-bundled ticket purchased on Eventbrite will come with a limited edition, 11x17 art print (while supplies last) based on a scene from the book. You can see the full design here. hy TPB's graphic designer Stephen Crowe.

In person book signing

After Kira Jane Buxton's virtual launch of Feral Creatures on August 24th, she'll be signing in-person at the Lake Forest Park Farmer's Market on August 29th!

Any remaining prints will be available at Kira's in-person signing on Sunday, August 29th at the Lake Forest Park Farmers Market, 12-2pm.

About the new book

With FERAL CREATURES, Kira continues the adventures of S.T., the foulmouthed crowtagonist, in an even funnier, scarier cautionary tale of humankind’s impact on the fragility of the natural world.

From the wilds of Alaska to the outskirts of Seattle, FERAL CREATURES finds S.T. in an epic battle between the animal kingdom and a new mutant threat, all while protecting Dee, the last human on Earth. 

In this stunning follow-up to HOLLOW KINGDOM, the animal kingdom's "favorite apocalyptic hero" is back with a renewed sense of hope for humanity, ready to take on a world ravaged by a viral pandemic.

When the world last checked-in with its favorite Cheeto addict, the planet had been overrun by flesh-hungry beasts, and nature had started re-claiming her territory from humankind. 

S.T., the intrepid crow, alongside his bloodhound-bestie Dennis, had set about saving pets that had become trapped in their homes after humanity went the way of the dodo. 

That is, until S.T. stumbled upon something so rare—and so precious—that he vowed to do everything in his power to safeguard what could, quite literally, be humanity's last hope for survival.

But in a wild world plagued by prejudiced animals, feather-raising environments, new threats so terrifying they make zombies look like baby bunnies, and a horrendous dearth of cheesy snacks, what's a crow to do? 

Why, wing it on another big-hearted, death-defying adventure, that's what! Joined by a fabulous new cast of animal characters, S.T. faces many new challenges plus his biggest one yet: parenthood.

Crafts Day at the LFP Farmers Market and more coming up from Third Place Commons

Tuesday, July 6, 2021


Mark your calendars and make a plan to head to the Lake Forest Park Farmers Market on Sunday, July 18, 2021 from 10am to 2pm, for Crafts Day at the Market!

This beloved annual tradition took the year off in 2020 due to the pandemic, but the great news is that it’s back with bells on in 2021.

You won’t want to miss this one day only opportunity to shop for jewelry, artwork, fabric arts, handmade cards and gifts, garden art, and more!

And in case you haven’t heard, thanks to updated requirements from the health department, masks are no longer required at the market for vaccinated individuals! 

The health department does still ask all unvaccinated and partially vaccinated folks to wear their masks at the market for your safety and the safety of others. 

But if you’re vaccinated, and feeling ready, you can leave your mask at home when you’re shopping in the beautiful, fresh air setting of the market. (Though masks certainly remain welcome for anyone who prefers to keep it on.)

Also on the agenda this summer is Third Place Commons’ “Summer of Music” including a hybrid of online and in-person programs all celebrating the joy of music.

Coming up on Tuesday, July 13th at 7:30pm, the TPC Movie Club will be discussing the Oscar and Grammy winning 2018 release “A Star Is Born.” Stream it ahead and then join the club to join the conversation on the 13th.

And on Wednesday, July 21st at 5pm, the Commons Community Book Club will be discussing the joyful, quirky, and ultimately uplifting novel “The Music Shop” by Rachel Joyce. The Boston Globe says, “Love, friendship, and especially the healing powers of music all rise together into a triumphant crescendo. . . . This lovely novel is as satisfying and enlightening as the music that suffuses its every page."

This short and sweet gem is a quick read, so there’s still plenty of time to breeze through it and join the conversation. Register here for the Commons Community Book Club.

Stay tuned for more details coming soon on other music themed programs including streaming concerts, a big outdoor concert, and finally the return of indoor music to Third Place Commons. Yippee!


And don’t forget that you can show your support for all this and more when you stop in for dinner at the Lake Forest Bar and Grill for “Third Place Commons Benefit Night” on Wednesday, July 7th from 5-9pm.

Twenty percent of proceeds from the evening will be donated to Third Place Commons and two of its key programs, the LFP Farmers Market and the Market Bucks food assistance program. So rally your friends and family and head out Wednesday night to eat out for a good cause!

Can’t make it to dinner? You can always make a donation online here.

Third Place Commons – a community supported 501(c)3 nonprofit organization – has been building real community in the heart of Lake Forest Park for over 20 years.

Shoreline Farmers Market celebrates 10 years with a joyous opening day

Photo by Steven H. Robinson

It was a perfect day. The weather cooperated, with gray clouds giving way to blue skies. The market was a sea of booths full of fresh produce and flowers.

Pandemic protocols were strictly observed. Every vendor and shopper was masked and staff were very careful to control the number of shoppers in the booths.

The entry line was long due to COVID-19 protocols
Photo by Wayne Pridemore

The lines were long to get in but moved constantly. Waiting shoppers used dots on the ground to keep the family groups and individual shoppers physically separated.

Strawberries are in season - Photo by Wayne Pridemore

People were thrilled to get out of the house after over a year of quarantine and have a fun destination - not to mention the strawberries that are in season right now.

One booth that everyone seemed to be talking about was Egg Song Farms with the adorable helpers behind the table.

The most talk was about "the mushroom guy" i.e. Skagit Gourmet Mushrooms. He sells gourmet mushrooms of different varieties.

The Egg Song workers were not the only cute kids working the market. Seven year old Mercer Lemkin created a chalk advertisement for the market. He attends Parkwood Elementary and his father, Brendan Lemkin, started Shoreline Farmers Market a decade ago.

Strawberries may be seasonal but flowers are available all summer.

A Jam-Packed June coming up with Third Place Commons


With summer nearly here, things are heating up at Third Place Commons with a calendar packed full of great free, Zoom events all month long.

First up, on Saturday, June 12, 2021 at 9:30am is Civic Saturday, a nonpartisan gathering with music, poetry, readings, and small group discussions. While not religious in nature, it is like a faith gathering as it brings friends and strangers together to nurture a spirit of shared purpose. It's a time to connect with others and reflect on what it means to live as a citizen in today's American society.

Civic Saturday is a national initiative – these gatherings are happening all over the United States in communities large and small. This gathering is led by Erika Olson, who received her training from Citizen University in February 2021. Register here for Civic Saturday.


Next up, on June 16th at 7pm, you won’t want to miss “Let It Not Happen Again: Lessons of the Japanese American Exclusion.”

Presenter Clarence Moriwaki will share the story of Bainbridge Island — the origin point of the Japanese American exclusion, a national strategy that led to more than 120,000 Japanese American men, women, and children forcibly removed and incarcerated during World War II.

Recent events in our country have reminded us how important it is to learn from the past. Moriwaki’s talk will examine both the history and its contemporary parallels to offer a lens through which to evaluate and respond to current events. Register here for “Let It Not Happen Again: Lessons of the Japanese American Exclusion"

Also coming up, parts two and three of Third Place Commons’ Going Green Series. On Saturday, June 19th at 11am, get environmentally friendly gardening tips at Green Gardening with Master Gardener Julie Yasny. Register here.

And last but certainly not least, on Wednesday, June 30th at 7pm, Republic Services Recycling Coordinator Natalie Caulkins returns for “Keep the Cycle Turning: How to be a Savvy Recycler.” Caulkins will dispel myths and common misconceptions about what can and can’t be recycled and why, delve into the important concept of wish-cycling, and field all your burning questions about both recycling and composting. Register here.

You can also join in with the many ongoing programs from Third Place Commons. The TPC Movie Club (register here) meets next on Tuesday, June 8th at 7:30pm when the group will discuss the critically acclaimed, feel-good indie “Hearts Beat Loud.” This fun and fresh gem is free to stream for Hulu subscribers or can be readily rented from most popular streaming services.

Then the Commons Community Book Club (register here) meets on Wednesday, June 16th at 5pm to discuss the #1 bestseller The Giver of Stars by Jojo Moyes, the perfect book for any book lover.

And of course, don’t forget to drop in to the Lake Forest Park Farmers Market every Sunday, 10am to 2pm, to connect with your community safely and in person while shopping for farm fresh and locally produced goodies galore.

Go Green with Third Place Commons starting Wednesday, May 26

Monday, May 24, 2021


Third Place Commons invites you to join in a vital ongoing conversation with “Going Green: A Three-Part Series.”

Throughout the series of free Zoom programs, presenters will explore and guide conversation around several topics of great interest that emerged during the recent Lake Forest Park Community Town Hall on Building Climate Resiliency.

The series begins this Wednesday, May 26, 2021 at 7pm with Heating Up: The Ethics of Climate Change presented by Brian G. Henning.

During the program, Henning will explore how our moral beliefs have led us to the brink of climate crisis and pose the question, “What if we could tell ourselves a new story about climate change — and, in doing so, alter our relationship to our planet?”

Henning is a professor of Philosophy and Environmental Studies at Gonzaga University and has earned a PhD in philosophy. He has served as the inaugural faculty fellow for sustainability for three years, is the chair of the Environmental Studies department, and has delivered nearly 100 community presentations to general and academic audiences.


Register here for “Heating Up: The Ethics of Climate Change.”

Next up in the Going Green series, “Green Gardening with Master Gardener Julie Yasny,” where Yasny will both share tips for environmentally friendly gardening and field your questions. 

The Green Gardening session takes place on Saturday, June 19th at 11am and you can register here.

Finally, on Wednesday, June 30th at 7pm, Republic Services Recycling Coordinator Natalie Caulkins returns for “Keep the Cycle Going: How to be a Savvy Recycler.

Caulkins presented during the town hall and also hosted a breakout room during the group conversations, and both sessions were packed with folks eager to learn more about recycling properly. 

What can and can’t be recycled and why? Does it actually matter if your recyclables are “empty, clean, and dry”? Are you guilty of “wish-cycling” and what impact does that have?

Register here to “Keep the Cycle Going.”

And, while you’re busy thinking and living green, don’t forget to drop by the Lake Forest Park Farmers Market to shop for fresh, local, minimally processed, and organic produce, meat, fish, eggs, and much, more. 

Eating local and farm to table is a great way eat clean and reduce the carbon footprint of your food.
