Join the Club! November book and movie picks for Third Place Commons

Tuesday, November 3, 2020

Third Place Commons has launched two new clubs as part of their TPC At Home programming, giving you the perfect chance to have fun and connect with your Commons Community in these most stressful of times. Whether you’re a movie lover, a book lover, or both, your Commons community awaits.

Join the TPC Movie Club for a fun monthly conversation about a pre-selected film and just talk movies as well. Talk about what you love, what disappointed you, what’s coming soon, and what you’re watching now.

If books are more your thing, talk books with the Commons Community Book Club. Read recent paperback bestsellers, bring your thoughts on the pick of the month, and share what else you’re reading.

On Tuesday, November 10, 2020 the TPC Movie Club will discuss “Parasite,” the Academy Award winning 2020 Best Picture. A dazzling, funny, and always surprising film, this great movie is part satire, part thriller, and part social commentary that will keep you guessing from start to finish.

Rotten Tomatoes gives the film a 99% and declares, “An urgent, brilliantly layered look at timely social themes, 'Parasite' finds writer-director Bong Joon Ho in near-total command of his craft." (Rated R for sexual content, language, and some violence.)

​Where to find it: You can find “Parasite” free on Hulu with subscription, or rent/buy from Xfinity, Amazon, Apple TV, Vudu, and Fandango Now.

REGISTER HERE for the TPC Movie Club, which meets at 7:30pm on the 2nd Tuesday of each month.

Next up, the Commons Community Book Club meets on Wednesday, November 18th to discuss “Daisy Jones and the Six” by Taylor Jenkins Reid.

A New York Times Book Review Editor's Choice, they wrote, “This stylish and propulsive novel, presented in the form of an oral history, explores the ascent of a (fictional) hard-partying, iconic 1970s rock band. It reads like the transcript of a particularly juicy episode of VH1’s ‘Behind the Music.’"

A NYT Bestseller and Reese’s Book Club selection, Daisy Jones and the Six was named one of the "Best Books of the Year" by NPR, The Washington Post, Esquire, Glamour, Good Housekeeping, Marie Claire, Shelf Awareness, BookRiot, and more!​

Where to find it: You'll tear through this quick, fun read, so get your copy today and join the conversation on November 18th at 5pm! You can get it from the library, in person at Third Place Books, or order it online (including the audiobook) here.

REGISTER HERE for the Commons Community Book Club, which meets at 5pm on the third Wednesday of each month.

Also on November 18th, tune in for Pandemic Picks: TV! to get all the binge-worthy fuel you need to get through the long, cold months to come. Register here.

After you register the first time for each club, you’ll receive the link to join the club every month. (No need to register more than once!) So whether you’re quarantining with a houseful and need a break from your 24/7 companions, or staying solo and need a break from yourself, join the book club or movie club (or both) to make new friends and have some fun!

Third Place Commons, a community supported 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, is celebrating its 20th anniversary of building real community in the heart of Lake Forest Park. 

In addition to presenting its largest program, the Lake Forest Park Farmers Market, Third Place Commons now also fosters real community in digital space. To learn more, or to make a gift to support the market and the Commons, visit ThirdPlaceCommons.org.

New clubs just for you! Talk movies and books with Third Place Commons

Wednesday, September 30, 2020


Third Place Commons is excited to announce the start of two new monthly clubs, the TPC Movie Club and the Commons Community Book Club. And you’re invited to join in the fun!

Both clubs will meet in virtual space until it’s once again safe to meet in person, with the TPC Movie Club meeting on the second Tuesday of each month from 7:30-9pm while the Commons Community Book Club meets on the third Wednesday of each month from 5-6:30pm. Get the links to join in on the Third Place Commons online calendar.

The first movie club meeting will take place on Tuesday, October 13 when the group will discuss “If Beale Street Could Talk,” a gorgeous film filled with powerful performances including an Oscar winning turn from Regina King. Beale Street is a heartfelt love story, based on the James Baldwin novel, that movingly explores themes of racial injustice and the power of family devotion.

Rotten Tomatoes gives the film a 95% and says, “’If Beale Street Could Talk’ honors its source material with a beautifully filmed adaptation that finds director Barry Jenkins further strengthening his visual and narrative craft.”

Where to find it: You can find it free on Hulu with subscription, or rent/buy from Amazon, Apple TV, Vudu, Fandango Now, and YouTube.

The first Commons Community Book Club will meet on Wednesday, October 21 with a discussion of the first selection, “The Scent Keeper” by Erica Bauermeister.

A New York Times Bestseller and Reese’s Book Club selection, Kirkus Reviews describes the novel this way: “Told in a lyrical, haunting prose, the story provides fascinating information about the ways in which different fragrances can impact human behavior and the struggles of finding one's own identity. An artfully crafted coming-of-age story that will take the reader on an exquisite olfactory adventure."

This first selection is a quick read, so you’ve got plenty of time to read it and be ready to chat on 10/21. Learn more and order your copy here.

These selections and the future direction of each club have been directly informed by community input. In late August, Third Place Commons launched a survey to gauge the interests of potential participants and find out what kinds of club content would best meet the needs of the community. The survey received strong response and provided great insights into what folks most wanted from their book and movie clubs.


Here’s a quick look at some of what respondents said they wanted.

Commons Community Book Club

For those interested in a book club, current and recent bestsellers were by far the most popular category of books, with mysteries and award-winning literature also popular selections. So that’s what the club will focus on – critically acclaimed bestsellers from the past few years, with occasional mysteries and older gems mixed in.

While respondents said they like reading paperbacks and hardcovers equally, more than half would prefer to buy paperbacks. Therefore, most of the club’s selections will be books that are already out in paperback, though many folks also said they’d be getting their selections from the library or in audio or digital format.

TPC Movie Club

Movie club responses were equally enlightening. Nearly half of respondents said that “all movies” were their preferred category, with “award winners and critically acclaimed films” coming in a close second and strong interest as well in “oldies, but goodies” from the 80s, 90s, and 00s.

Four out of five people indicated they watch movies on Netflix and Amazon, but even more said they were happy to pay to rent movies (or go to the movies when the time comes) if it’s not available for free on their streaming service of choice. So selections will be made that are widely available to everyone, either free or to rent, rather than films only available to subscribers of a single service.

Folks were not overly concerned with seeing only new movies (especially since there aren’t many of those right now). As a result, selections will run the gamut, focusing mainly on critically acclaimed films of the past 5 years, with occasional widely available new releases and dips back further in time for well-loved favorites.

There was also a fair amount of interest in clubs focused on specific topics like classics, black voices and stories, LGBTQ+ cinema, and independent art house movies. So additional special focus clubs may roll out in the future. (Interested in leading a group in one of these areas? Email programs@thirdplacecommons.org)

New Shoreline Community College online class - Director Series: Light and Shadow: The Films of Josef von Sternberg

Saturday, September 26, 2020

Josef von Sternberg and
Marlene Dietrich


Travel back to Classic Hollywood with facilitator George Watt as you explore the films of Josef von Sternberg! 

Revered and reviled in his own time, Sternberg is notable for a series of films in which he directed Marlene Dietrich and is renowned for his lighting, mise en scene, staging, and costume design.

Sternberg's surviving silent films are remarkable examples of the silent art form, and his gangster film during this period launched the gangster film cycle of the following decade.

Students will view six of Josef von Sternberg's films throughout the class and learn how to evaluate, analyze, and synthesize each film. 

Additionally, students will discuss how the various elements of each film - lighting, camera work, composition, sound, costume, etc. - work together to create meaning and examine cultural influences, including race, ethnicity and gender roles.

Film titles are available on the Internet, via YouTube, or from streaming services, such as Amazon Prime. Some titles are available on DVD from public libraries, from rental services such as Netflix, or may be purchased on DVD or Blu-ray.

Fee: $149
Dates: September 30th - November 4th (Wednesdays)
Time: 6-8 pm
Location: Online via Zoom

Click here to register today! Questions? Please email continuing-ed@shoreline.edu.

Two Shorecrest students, deeply moved by the plight of the citizens of Beirut, Lebanon after the massive chemical explosion in their city, have created a local fundraiser to help.

Teja Raichur and Laila Rabaa, juniors at Shorecrest, have scheduled a drive-in screening of the popular movie The Princess Bride.

They are currently working with a non-profit organization called Preemptive Love. Preemptive Love works in various parts of the Middle East to provide food, shelter, education, medicare, and other emergency needs, particularly in places significantly affected by war. 

After the devastating explosion in Beirut, Preemptive Love responded immediately and is currently on-site providing food and shelter to thousands of blast victims.

With the help of generous sponsors and several individuals in our community, we are able to cover the costs of this event and donate all funds raised from the movie tickets directly to Preemptive Love to feed families in Beirut.

Your ticket secures your car a spot at the movie. The screening will begin around 7:15pm and you may come as early as 6:00pm. You only need to purchase one ticket per car!

Tickets here.

Please come out to have a fun night out with your friends and family and learn more about our cause!

Experimental Theatre / Production class to create fictional documentary about life in the time of pandemic

Sunday, September 6, 2020


Shoreline Community College's Experimental Theatre/Production is a class (Drama 234, 207, and/or 208) where we will be creating a fictional documentary based on our experiences (real or imagined) occurring during the time of the Covid pandemic.

It is not just limited to experiences dealing with the pandemic itself, but also any of the historical events taking place — demonstrations for Black Lives Matter, police reform, etc.

The material used can be originally written monologues or scenes, that would be developed, rehearsed and performed by student actors. 

These pieces would be filmed and edited into a documentary. The class would be made up of actors, writers, and those who want to work on the technical end of a production. Bryar Golden will be directing and producing.

Registration open for new class: The African American Experience Through Film

Photo by Denise Jans on unsplash


American films are a powerful medium for producing a collective understanding about our country's past, present, and ever-changing values.

Often though, they create a vision of America that fails to capture an honest portrayal of non-white life. 

This online class will examine the counter-narratives of Black filmmakers in the hopes of better understanding how cinema serves as an expression of humanity, and more importantly, a better understanding of the humanity within the African-American community.

Join filmmaker and educator Ben Abel-Bey as you explore fictional narratives, documentaries, and television episodes across multiple themes and genres. 

While some film theory will be discussed, this course is ultimately an examination of American history, society, and culture through the work of filmmakers of color. Films discussed will include Do the Right Thing, The Hate U Give, and more.

Short clips of films and television episodes will be screened and discussed in class, but students are expected to view films outside of class each week as well. Please note that some movie rental fees may apply in addition to the cost of the course.

Fee: $179
Dates: September 28th - November 16th (Mondays)
Time: 6-8 pm
Location: Online via Zoom

Click here to view the full details for this course and register today!

Student Video Action: Free People From ICE Detention

Saturday, August 1, 2020

From Maria Solano Arauz
WA State Student Activist Coordinator 
Amnesty International USA 

The Amnesty International chapter at Shorewood High School is currently planning a video action aimed at Governor Inslee.

The video will consist of a Shorewood student’s poem and a collection of photos of Washingtonians with their families and families from other key states.

We are collaborating with other chapters in other states but the idea was from Shorewood and all the video efforts are being led by the Shorewood chapter.  

The video is meant to highlight the importance of families belonging together - and that no families should be separated by detention. 

In addition, individuals detained in Washington should be released to join their families and communities in the U.S.

As we continue to enjoy summer, we must remember that immigrants and asylum-seekers are being denied their freedom; they should be free and safe, not locked up in danger.

We know that our community partners only strengthen our work, and we would love for you to be involved. We would like to invite you to participate in our action, specifically to share a photo of you with your family.

We have set up a Dropbox where you can upload photos directly. Our goal is to reach 50 photos by August 12; please share this action with family and friends!

Contact maria.sol.wa@gmail.com with any questions or concerns.

Shoreline Isolation and Recovery Center soon to be deconstructed but commemorated in documentary

Thursday, July 2, 2020

On Sunday they were starting to remove the trailers
Photo by Gidget Terpstra

The Shoreline Assessment Centers/ Recovery Center (AC/RC) saw 49 guests in April and May, and has since ceased patient operations and will soon be deconstructed.

Its former 144 guest capacity is no longer counted within the total King county AC/RC capacity of 445 guests.

The AC/RC are congregate care facilities that provide supervised care to symptomatic or COVID-positive adults who cannot quarantine or recover in their own home, or do not have a home.

People who stay at an AC/RC may be unable to isolate from high-risk individuals in their home or they may be experiencing homelessness. These spaces help support hospital capacity by providing a place of care for more acute patients.

The main difference between an AC/RC and an I/Q site is that a group of people can stay in one AC/RC, whereas I/Q sites are intended for one person at a time in a room. AC/RCs are intended for clusters of people who have been exposed or are experiencing symptoms or are COVID-positive in the event of a surge.


A local filmmaker documented the Shoreline AC/RC.

"Laila Kazmi of Kazbar Media said "I decided to make the documentary because I felt it was a compelling example of how a county responded to help those in the community most in need. 
"In a short time, public, private, and nonprofit organizations came together to built this structure and provide free healthcare for patients who were either homeless or otherwise without access to healthcare."
