The Right to Read - free film screening Wednesday, January 24, 2024

Tuesday, January 23, 2024


Shoreline School District and Shoreline PTA Council are hosting a free screening of the film "The Right to Read" this Wednesday, January 24, 2024 from 6-8pm at the Shoreline Center Theater 18560 1st Ave NE, Shoreline, WA 98155. 

The film shares the stories of an NAACP activist, a teacher, and two American families who are striving to see better reading instruction in American schools. 

The activist featured in the film, Kareem Weaver, believes literacy is one of the greatest civil rights issues of our time. Recent data shows that nearly 40% of Washington 4th graders do not meet the basic reading standards for this grade level. 

Shoreline students fared only slightly better - last year 37% of 4th graders did not meet standard on the Smarter Balanced ELA assessment (from the OSPI report card). 

Many districts in our state, including Shoreline, have been slow to implement curriculums that better align with the science of reading and in the film you'll hear that Mr. Weaver and others are proponents for this to change. 

This is an important opportunity to get informed about best practices in reading instruction, to learn what to ask school leaders about and to become involved in advocating for improved literacy teaching. 

Come watch the film for free and then make sure to stay after for the discussion - we are very lucky to have Mr. Weaver joining us in person for this. You can RSVP to attend here. Limited childcare available for ages 2-12. Register for that here.

On this day in 2001, the Duwamish Tribe received federal recognition, which was taken away from them two days later

On January 19, 2001, the Duwamish Tribe wins federal recognition. 

However, fewer than 48 hours later, the tribe learns that President George W. Bush has suspended a batch of President Clinton's 11th-hour orders, including federal recognition of the Duwamish. 

The Duwamish were the indigenous inhabitants of the Seattle area. They have been seeking recognition since 1979, when U.S. District Judge George Boldt (1903-1984) found that the tribe had not existed continuously as an organized tribe (within the meaning of federal law) from 1855 to the present, and was therefore ineligible for treaty fishing rights.

Dr. Gloria Burgess and the Community Foundation of Snohomish County to be honored at Tribute to Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. on Monday January 15

Dr. Gloria Burgess
Dr. Gloria Burgess and the Community Foundation of Snohomish County, two community icons with long histories of enriching local communities through their work in philanthropy, continuous learning, mentorship, and economic empowerment, have been selected as the 2024 Beloved Community Award recipients by the Lift Every Voice Legacy (LEVL) Board of Directors, it was announced this week.

The awards will be presented by LEVL at the 6th Annual Tribute to Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. – Inspiring a Beloved Community in Song, Spoken Word and Dance program beginning at 6pm on January 15, 2024 at the Edmonds Waterfront Center, 220 Railroad Ave, Edmonds WA 98020.

General admission tickets for the Evening Program are $15 and can be purchased through Eventbrite or at the LEVL website: beloved4all.org

Burgess, who lived in Edmonds for 36 years before her recent out-of-state relocation, is CEO and President of Jazz, Inc. and is recognized as a trusted advisor, consultant, and executive coach locally and worldwide. 

She is known for her grounded approach in intercultural competence, appreciative inquiry, and advocacy on tough issues related to race, reconciliation, reflective thought, and leadership. 

“She has a calming nature but the strength and depth of her knowledge and wisdom has made her a lasting icon of coaching and mentoring to many of us for more than three decades,” said Donnie Y. Griffin, LEVL’s Founder and President, quoting a statement from one of her award nominators.

In addition, along with her husband John, Gloria administers the family foundation providing program support and financial assistance to children and youth with emphasis on leadership, technology, the arts, and cross-cultural citizenship.

“The Community Foundation of Snohomish County (cf-sc) in Everett does not make much of a fuss about promoting its work throughout Snohomish County but its fingerprints can be found on the good works of several non-profit projects in small and large population service areas. This is particularly the case among Black, Indigenous, People of Color (BIPOC) community-based organizations,” commented Griffin.

During the COVID-19 pandemic period, the foundation natured and financially assisted over 70 BIPOC-led nonprofit organizations in Snohomish county as part of a CARES Act co-hart support group. "Many of which would have never survived the harsh economic downturn," Griffin added. 

“The Community Foundation of Snohomish County has made a commitment to advance equity and social justice by transforming itself into a diverse, equitable, and inclusive foundation, “according to its public statement on equity.

With 50 percent of its staff and 75 percent of its Board of Directors consisting of people of color, it appears the foundation is living up to its equity values internally as they are externally, Griffin noted.

“Dr. Gloria Burgess and the Community Foundation of Snohomish County are excellent role models of our Beloved Community values -- creating communities free of hatred, injustice and poverty,” Griffin said. 

“LEVL is excited to shine a light on their good works,” he continued. 

In addition to the Evening Program, A Beloved Community – Morning Program for children and families will take place from 9:30 to 11:30am also on January 15th at the Edmonds Waterfront Center. 

Admission to the Morning Program is free and will feature local performers in addition to a variety of fun activities specially designed for children and families such as a cooking demonstration for children, art workshops, tap and ballet dance lessons, and children's storytelling.

King County Library System Foundation awarded $800,000 grant from the Mellon Foundation to develop Memory Labs in Makerspace Libraries

Sunday, December 10, 2023

The King County Library System Foundation received an $800,000 grant from the Mellon Foundation, which supports communities through the power of the arts and humanities. 

The funding will be used to house two Memory Labs at the King County Library System (KCLS). 

One Memory Lab will be located in the Bellevue Library Makerspace and the other will be in the Federal Way Library Makerspace.

KCLS will work with community partners during the Memory Lab project to gather, amplify and preserve the stories of patrons who have been impacted by systemic inequities, and language and cultural barriers. 

The five-year project will focus on two key audiences: Asian Americans and their descendants in the Bellevue area who were displaced from their homes and farms during World War II, and immigrants and refugees who now call King County home.

Beginning in 2026, KCLS will record participants’ stories in the sound booths at both Makerspace locations. The collection of stories will be archived on the KCLS website and through StoryCorps, a national nonprofit dedicated to recording, preserving and sharing stories. 

In 2028, KCLS will host two events — one at each Makerspace — to showcase the Memory Lab stories.

“The Mellon Foundation has provided us with an incredible opportunity to honor patrons through storytelling,” stated KCLS Foundation Executive Director Lisa Yamasaki. “We’re excited to help shine a light on the moments and narratives that have shaped our communities.”

To learn more about the Memory Lab project and find out how to participate, contact KCLS-MemoryLab@kcls.org.

Founded in 1942, the King County Library System (KCLS) is one of the busiest public library systems in the country. Supporting the communities of King County (outside the city of Seattle), KCLS has 50 libraries and serves 1.6 million people. 

Locally, King County Libraries are in Richmond Beach, Shoreline, Lake Forest Park, Kenmore, and Bothell.

In 2022, residents checked out 7.9 million digital eBooks and audiobooks through OverDrive, making KCLS the second-highest digital circulating library system in the U.S. 

In 2011, KCLS was named Library of the Year by Gale/Library Journal.

Native American Story Pole stands in Kenmore's Town Square

Thursday, November 9, 2023

Coast Salish carver and artist, Ty Juvinel, unveils the new story pole in Kenmore's Town Square on August 26, 2023.

KENMORE, Wash. – On Saturday August 26, to kick off the City’s 25th Anniversary Celebration, Tulalip artist Ty Juvinel unveiled Kenmore’s newest piece of public art, an indigenous story pole, in Town Square. 

A story pole is a traditional Native American way of telling stories and this pole shows an important legend of the Tulalip people, that of the killer whales. 

Deputy Mayor Melanie O’Cain said of the unveiling, “What a beautiful way to celebrate 25 years of Kenmore as a city while also honoring the First People who have called this area home since time immemorial.”

The story pole depicts the tale of two brothers, ancestors of the Tulalip Tribes who lived long ago at Priest Point. The brothers were seal hunters who went into the ocean to live as orcas, returning to their people only in the Tribe’s most dire circumstance. 

One year when the people had been unable to gather as much food for winter as usual, they were starving by spring when the salmon run began but just when they thought their suffering was over, hordes of seals came and ate up all the salmon. 

In despair, the people called out to their ancestors for help. The brothers heard their pleas and arrived as orcas who hunted the seals and threw their bodies onto the beach, both saving the people from starvation and preserving the salmon runs for generations to come. 

Today the orca is the logo of the Tulalip Tribes and they are greeted by the Tulalip people at sea with the words “Killer whale, killer whale, your ancestors were also my ancestors.”

Juvinel, a member of the Tulalip Tribes, is a Coast Salish carver and artist, a cultural preservationist, activist, and storyteller. He has previously created artwork for the Seattle Children's Museum, the University of Washington Burke Museum, the Seattle Library, the Tulalip Hibulb Museum, the Edmonds Historical Museum, the City of Edmonds, the City of Olympia, and the Museum of History and Industry. 

He got his artistic start young with drawing and graffiti, making his first paddle around age 11 upon discovering Coast Salish art and carving. He became a graphic designer for the Tulalip Tribes as an Apprentice Carver and has written and illustrated two children’s books, How Mouse Moved the Mountain and How Puppy Got Long Ears.  View more of his work here

Special thanks go out to Suzanne Greathouse of the Kenmore Heritage Society, who said, “I’m so happy the city commissioned this incredible indigenous art and it will now be displayed here permanently for everyone to enjoy.” 

This could not have happened without her efforts and support to make this story pole a reality.

The City of Kenmore is situated upon the ancestral lands of the Coast Salish Peoples so it is with the deepest respect that the City dedicates this indigenous artwork in a beloved public space where it can be viewed and enjoyed by all.

The story pole unveiling was part of the City’s 25th Anniversary Celebration which also featured a traditional hoop dance, a form of sharing culture and celebrating unity that embraces Native American culture, performed by Michael Goedel. 

Over 1,000 attendees braved the heat for the opportunity to enjoy cultural booths, local vendors selling goods at the Hangar, complimentary cake and ice cream, and an array of food trucks and entertainment. 

Live music provided a party atmosphere to the day and the Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility (DEIA) Advisory Committee organized DEIA-themed literary and artistic activities and giveaways that delighted the event attendees.

A room full of colorful activities and swirling dancers - Dia de los Muertos in Shoreline

Tuesday, November 7, 2023

ShoreLake Arts and the City of Shoreline celebrated Dia de los Muertos at the Spartan Gym on Thursday, November 2, 2023.


The traditional Ofrenda with remembrances of relatives who have passed on was displayed against a wall.


Half of the Spartan Gym was filled with long tables covered in bright paper. And every table had a colorful craft project just waiting to be glued or assembled.


Volunteers worked with children, who were giddy with delight.

Adults were welcome to try the craft of their choice - this table had the makings of paper flowers.


The colorful projects were irresistible


A face painting station offered personal decorations to attendees and a food truck had dinner selections.

And then the dancers came in.

Swirling skirts, joyful music, bright colors. They were a party unto themselves.


The youngest dancers and the junior troupe were delightful to watch.



Music, colorful dresses, dance performances. It was a delightful party atmosphere.

Rainbow City Performing Arts announces hiring of first Executive Director: Damien Hall

Monday, October 30, 2023

Damien Hall, Executive Director
Rainbow City Performing Arts
SEATTLE, WA – After twenty-five years as a volunteer-operated association, The Rainbow City Performing Arts (RCPA) has a cause for celebration: hiring Damien Hall as RCPA’s first Executive Director.

In RCPA’s organizational structure, the Executive Director position sits right below the Board and has the responsibility as the head of all Staff. 

Damien manages the Staff, many of whom are volunteers, while also focusing the Board on decisions about policies, fundraising, and budget. RCPA’s Executive Director position is still part-time, due to financial constraints.

Damien’s 10 years of volunteerism with the organization include holding the roles of Director of Operations, Director of Membership, Librarian, Percussion Section Leader, and President.

From 2022-2023, Damien was operating as the President and sole authority for both operational and artistic decisions, and the return from the pandemic shutdown created an opportunity to rebuild and evolve the organization with a central vision. 

To name just a few, he: 
  • Doubled pre-pandemic revenue in his first year of leadership;
  • Welcomed 150+ members per quarter across seven different performing ensembles;
  • Focused DEIAB in policymaking by creating a Director of DEI role on the board; and
  • Established a Pride week performance event to support partner nonprofits and musicians in partnership with Seattle Center.
Rainbow City Performing Arts is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing education and performance opportunities for LGBTQIA+ individuals and allies in the Seattle area. 

RCPA's diverse ensembles and chamber groups actively participate in community events and pride festivals throughout the year as well as producing their own events to uplift LGBTQIA+ people. 

The organization's mission is to foster diversity, inclusion, and artistic expression, creating a welcoming space for musicians and performers from all walks of life.
