leaving a legacy While having lunch together, a friend and I discussed the legacy we will leave in our community. This conversation sparked a theme for this edition of ShowCase Magazine. In this issue, as always, we flesh out art and culture at its best around the Sound. We also “spotlight” the philanthropic leaders and organizations in our community that are dedicated to leaving a legacy for the future.

We are privileged to congratulate the YWCA of Olympia’s women of achievement. They have made history, and are honored for their charitable work in our region. Speaking of good work, we are delighted to celebrate the momentum of nonprofits and recommend approaches to giving back.

With colder weather and increased time indoors, Puget Sounders look for ideas for redesigning homes. Our design section offers solutions on meeting the vision and needs of the most finicky of home owners.

Of course, our holiday issue would not be complete without “our favorite things” shopping and holiday gift guide. We suggest rare and locally made items for savvy gift giving.

This season, we encourage you to take action. To leave a legacy of compassion by helping those in need. Through local community, civic and leadership organizations or by donating or volunteering your time. After all, ‘tis the season to contribute to our legacy.

Gratefully,

Robin

THE FUTURE OF CATARACT SURGERY IS HERE....

Introducing bladeless computer-guided laser cataract surgery.

This FDA-approved surgery is tailored to every individual eye with exacting precision, unlike any cataract surgery before it. In fact, it goes beyond replacing just your cataract, by managing astigmatism or even replacing the cataract with new vision correcting implants. Thanks to bladeless laser cataract surgery, more people are seeing 20/20 without glasses than ever before.

Bladeless Cataract Surgery. Only at Evergreen Eye Center. For more information, call toll free

community events | zoobilee—the zoo society Zoobilee 2014, Growl, Howl & Roar, was a great success. Over 380 guests came together to support the education and conservation efforts of Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium. Guests bid on silent auction items and met with the featured animals, up close. The crowd sampled appetizers from Art House Cafe, Brix 25, Dirty Oscar’s Annex and Smoke+Cedar Restaurant. Dinner featured cuisine from X Group Restaurants, Catering & Brewery during a robust live auction. The evening’s wild proceedings raised $369,000. This year’s fund-a-need brought in $71,000 to be dedicated to the continued recovery of the Red Wolf species.

2014 women of achievement honored Each year the YWCA of Olympia pays tribute to women who most closely model their lives according to the YWCA’s mission. Professional achievements, personal growth, peer recognition and involvement in the community are all considered. This year’s celebration, the organization’s 20th annual, included a special category dedicated to women who are committed to eliminating racism and promoting racial justice. Nominees were revealed at the Annual Women of Achievement Gala on Nov. 6 at the Red Lion Hotel’s Forest Ballroom. vHEATHER LARSON

THE WOMEN OF ACHIEVEMENT HONOREES Christine (Christy) Peters Peters serves as administration chief for the Thurston County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office. In her 20 years of criminal prosecution, she has helped more than 400 adults and children who were victims of physical and sexual abuse.

Marti Ensign The first woman in her faith to be fully ordained as a Free Methodist minister, Ensign learned firsthand the tension and loneliness a woman experiences in a maledominated field. But that didn’t stop her from going wherever she was needed, including to war-torn African countries to help relief workers with PTSD.

Dr. Rhonda Coats Coats has worked in higher education for more than 30 years and currently serves as vice president of student services at South Puget Sound Community College. She is a constant champion for underrepresented students.

Lynn Grotsky Since 2007, Grotsky has been an essential part of Pizza Klatch, an organization that gives hope to lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer youth in Thurston County. Many of them are often discriminated against, marginalized and disenfranchised.

Dr. Leticia Nieto This nominee wears many hats—as a psychotherapist in private practice, poet, dramatist, anti-oppression trainer, professor at St. Martin’s University and faculty member of the European School of Classical Psychodrama in Mexico. Nieto lives and breathes the YWCA’s mission to empower women and eliminate racism, through education, advocacy, service and leadership opportunities through her work and her personal and community life.

United Way of Thurston County provides an invaluable service to low-income families dealing with the struggles of everyday life. Discovering the key issues that impact families in the area and creating resolutions for those affected is a large part of the work being done by volunteers and board members alike. The mission is clear and community focused: By helping children and their families be successful, the community prospers. Understanding the needs is what drives the organization to deliver the best services.

“We are always evaluating and renewing the focus of our work,” says Executive Director Paul Knox. “United Way plays an important role in many lives and is dedicated to the community we serve and we are excited to continue this work.”

As with all nonprofit organizations, fundraising is critical, and Knox recognizes the importance of establishing local partnerships. “We are more effective if we are not working in isolation,” he says.

Partnerships with local government and business organizations, called Community Investment Partnerships, have helped United Way of Thurston County grow even more in recent years through grants and additional fundraising. These funds address specific needs like health and nutrition or financial stability.

Volunteers play an integral role in ensuring the success of United Way and the families they help. Programs include after-school reading buddies and the early learning coalition. Volunteers are needed for a variety of tasks such as event coordination, administrative help and general labor for special projects. Larger events such as Day of Caring encourage all members of the community to come together and donate a few hours of their time to help those in need. vANDREA LERUM

a new home for school of the arts Tacoma’s School of the Arts, a small, innovative, public high school in downtown Tacoma, offers a focus on the arts—and an opportunity for students to recognize their connection to each other and the community.

Board voted to buy a three-story building and nearby parking garage at Ninth Street and Broadway in downtown Tacoma.

The purchase price of $7.6 million included $6.2 million for the building and $1.4 million for the garage.

The curriculum includes dance, music, drawing and painting, graphic arts and sculpting, along with integrated math and science courses. Beyond the arts focus, SOTA works in partnership with the Science and Math Institute, or SAMi. The program is designed to prepare students for college, and many of SOTA’s courses look and feel like college courses. Classes are multiage and interdisciplinary. Students take intensive miniterms that dive deep into one subject, such as Caribbean music or modern architecture.

The new location sits across from the historic Pantages Theater and next door to the Rialto, at the previous home of the Music Box Theater, which burned down in 1963. Students will begin occupying the 302 Ninth St. building in the 2015-16 school year. According to Jon Ketler, SOTA founder and co-director, expanding arts programs in the new building will allow more opportunities for students in the community to participate. vLEAH GROUT

Currently, SOTA students attend classes in three buildings downtown and on the University of Washington Tacoma campus. The school will soon be relocated to a spacious new home in the heart of the city’s theater district. The Tacoma School

healthy eating during the holiday season

4 foods you should eat every day

1. Low-fat dairy The calcium and vitamin D that you get from dairy products are critical nutrients. Many women are deficient in calcium, which is important for healthy teeth and bones. And a lack of

vitamin D, also needed for bone health, is common in lowsun climates like Western Washington’s.

Good low-fat dairy options include fat-free or 1 percent milk, low-fat yogurt, part-skim cheese and low-fat cottage cheese 2. Whole grains Whole grains are champions when it comes to adding fiber to your diet. They provide other nutrients you need, like calcium and iron, and are naturally low in fat.

Some whole-grain options include popcorn, 100 percent whole-wheat bread, quinoa, steel cut or rolled oats, brown rice, and buckwheat flour.

3. Lean proteins Protein is important to help you build and repair muscle, feel full and satisfied longer, and keep your blood sugar even.

About 6 ounces total each day is sufficient for most people who are also consuming enough low-fat dairy.

Good choices include boneless, skinless chicken breast, beans, nuts and seeds, and tofu or other vegetarian meat substitutes.

sound glass-newly expanded design showroom For over 30 years Sound Glass has served the Puget Sound area from its Lakewood location. Now with a newly remodeled headquarters of over 23,000 square feet, it provides residential and commercial customers with all of their glass needs.

During the latest remodel, Sound Glass relocated the commercial fabrication portion of the business and expanded its showroom. As owner Warren Willoughby explains, “By combining locations we are better able to serve the needs of our customers. Our design center is a one-stop shop.” design, wellness design & shopping wellness

The redesigned showroom entrance is open and spacious, displaying an array of glass offerings, including glass railings, shower doors, mirrors and the latest glass options. The company’s sales team can assist customers with almost any glass requirement from one showroom.

“Frequently, residents of the South Sound visit us to enhance their homes with repairs and replacement to glass fixtures,” says Willoughby. “Upgrading to the newest energy-efficient windows and doors is common, as is choosing the latest in designer shower doors and glass products for the home.”

Working with Sound Glass, homeowners can choose to purchase directly or to hire the company’s expert installers for a turnkey installation. Providing both quality service and products from trusted manufacturers has always been a core value for Sound Glass. The new, beautiful showroom makes the process of choosing the right products that much easier. vLIZ SCHROEDER For additional information: Sound Glass 5501 75th St W, Tacoma 800.468.9949 soundglass.com Images// lauren triplett

inspired kitchen design

Thinking about reimagining your rooms? Take inspiration from the remodel on this page.

David and Krithika Butler of Silverdale had a dream to create a kitchen with more open space than their existing chopped-up interior. They met with American Dream Design Build and were impressed by the design process and project planning that were offered in detail even before a bid.

The Butlers went ahead and worked with the design team. After a few months, the beautiful results were apparent, seen here in the before and after images of the project. vLEAH GROUT
