The Seattle Annual Manual 2019-2020

A New Year and a New ANNUAL MANUAL Welcome to this Year’s Annual Manual Our Seattle Annual Manual gives you neighborhood history, attractions, photos, plus information on your neighborhood. If you are looking to explore other neighborhoods or just refresh your own, give it a read and be sure to let us know if something should be added about our many changing neighborhoods across Seattle.

With all the issues our city and neighborhoods have been facing lately with development, housing and homelessness, we should always take time to remember the many things that make our community an amazing thing to be a part of.

It’s the many “local” neighborhood venues and business stakeholders that also make our neighborhoods great. The “local business community” plays an important part in supporting your community and local schools and nights out where we reconnect with neighbors. Make sure you patronize them regularly throughout the year and ensure they continue to be there year after year as a vital part of your neighborhood in this ever increasing “online world”.

The Seattle Annual Manual 2019-2020

SEATTLE PERSPECTIVES

For this year’s Annual Manual, we asked area residents to answer a series of questions about living in Seattle framed from the perspective of what they might tell or recommend to people who are visiting Seattle, thinking about moving to Seattle or have just moved to the city. The

answers were intended to be light and fun, but informative.

And although 2020 was not a “normal” year, the answers were written as if it were because hopefully, soon, we’ll get to enjoy everything about Seattle again. Answers were edited for clarity.

What is the prettiest scenic view that never fails to impress you in Seattle, and where is this?

years, I have always been able to find something new in the warren of restaurants, artists and shops in a unique and vibrant historic district. Throughout COVID, the grocers have sustained my kitchen, and the market’s capacity for adaptation and reinvention has allowed it to stay open and activate a critical area of downtown. I urge everyone reading this to join me in making the market part of their holiday season. There is something there for everybody.”

— Seattle City Councilmember Andrew Lewis, Uptown

“Kerry Park Viewpoint and Betty Bowen Viewpoint, Queen Anne.”

— Ellen Monrad, Queen Anne “The city from a ferry at sunset, coming or going; West Seattle looking at city; the view from the top of Magnolia bridge to the city and/or Mount Rainer; Discovery Park top of the bluffs out to water toward Bainbridge.”

— Monica Wooton, Magnolia “The lighthouse at Discovery Park.”

— Peter Moe, Seattle Pacific University “Jack Block Park in West Seattle has the best view of downtown Seattle, plus you have the industrial area of the Duwamish River and the shipping piers. Then, to the north, you have Elliott Bay, West Seattle and northern Seattle. It’s a delightful park with trails and a public beach. The views are a little different from different parts of the park.”

— Carol Burton, Magnolia “The scenic view that never fails to impress me is the view of Puget Sound from the Seattle waterfront. I love watching the ferries and ships floating by. Turn around and you can see an unusual view of downtown Seattle. For something more special, the Seattle Great Wheel on Pier 57 provides a spectacular view.”

— Tyler Agafonov, University District “The lighthouse area on the beach of Discovery Park and Elliott Bay Trail.”

— Jason Thibeaux, Magnolia “This has to be Kerry Park — the iconic view overlooking the downtown area, the Puget Sound and Mount Rainier. No matter how often you may visit this site, the view never ceases to be awe inspiring. Seeing it at different times of day, and during different seasons, is another reason to stop by and take a photograph. It will definitely be one you enjoy for years to come.”

— Paula Mueller, Queen Anne “Looking south from Magnolia Bluff, when on the crest of Magnolia Boulevard and “the mountain is out,” it is simply one of the most inspiring views. One gets to take in downtown Seattle glimmering and shimmering, always stunning Puget Sound and the Olympic Mountains majestically rising to the west, and Alki Point and west Seattle round out the most panoramic view. It shows Seattle and our uniquely built and natural environs at their picturesque best.”

— Ann Goos, Magnolia What is your idea of a great day on the town — where would you go/places you’d visit?

“Pike Place Market is the civic jewel of Seattle. Living here for 31

4

“A chartered (or owned) cabin cruiser boat from Fisherman's Terminal to South Lake Union, Kirkland and through the ships' canal to Golden Gardens Park beach.”

— David Moehring, Magnolia “I'd hop a ferry and ride to one of the islands, find a beach and look for whales. We often do this; we head out to Point No Point with a big picnic lunch.”

— Peter Moe, Seattle Pacific University “Pike Place Market: Delaurenti Food & Wine; Daily Dozen Doughnut Co. for the bacon maple or the mixed dozen; Copacabana Restaurant for paella, fresh bread and butter and their salad on the deck overlooking market; Tenzing MoMo for incense matches and other herbal novelties; $10 bouquets and the new market deck views.”

— Monica Wooton, Magnolia What neighborhood would you recommend visiting for really great food, and why?

“Capitol Hill or Ballard. Lots of variety in each.”

— Peter Moe, Seattle Pacific University What are some places/neighborhoods with the best shopping?

“University Village.”

— Monica Wooton, Magnolia “Madison Valley has several very good shops with ample parking available. First to come to mind are three women's clothing shops right near one another: Alice, Jarbo and Sarah Alexandra.

Also, check out Sugarlump for women's and children’s clothes and Fury Women's Consignment. For home décor, there are antique French linens and lovely home decorations at Red Ticking, with more furniture and lovely home-decorating items at Madison Luxe and City People's Garden Store. Hella Happy is the new gift shop that offers mostly locally made items created by artists, focusing on environmentally friendly products and socially conscious producers.

In Madison Valley, we also have two frame shops, Bass Framing Studio and Molly & Jon's FastFrame. Both sell lots of framed art and other home decor items, in addition to their framing services.”

— Sarah Armstrong, Madison Park “Ballard, because of the variety.”

The Seattle Annual Manual 2019-2020

— Peter Moe, Seattle Pacific University What is your favorite day trip to take outside Seattle and why?

“Seattle’s proximity to surrounding islands offers the best day trips.

Depending on whether people want to enjoy the quiet rural areas available on some island or the busier villages with fun shopping and great food, everything is available by a short drive or a ferry ride. And a little longer trip makes the fabulous San Juan islands available.”

— Paula Mueller, Queen Anne “In Snohomish, Maltby Cafe for breakfast and Flower World. On Bainbridge Island, free art museum, Bainbridge Island Museum of Art; the book room and its sessions on the library are great; first Friday art walk; Saturday art activity at Bainbridge Art & Crafts; The Edge Improv, first Saturday of the month; great weekend — lots of great places to stay, eat; great nursery and lunch spot there; MORA Iced Creamery Bainbridge Island; and Town and Country pizza oven pizza! In Redmond, Marymoor Park P-Patch; the Saturday market and the Italian baguette sandwich; Tropea Ristorante Italiano; Molly Moon's Homemade Ice Cream; See's Candies in Redmond Town Center; Value Village.”

— Monica Wooton, Magnolia “We love to go to Lime Kiln State Park to look for whales.”

— Peter Moe, Seattle Pacific University “Bainbridge or one of the many islands across Puget Sound.”

— Jason Thibeaux, Magnolia

Over 15 Years Experience

“Bloedel Reserve on Bainbridge Island has 150 acres of diversely landscaped gardens, forests, meadows and captivating natural wildlife terrains to enjoy in every season. Depending on the pace you are up for, you could take all or part of a day to visit. Extra bonus is the ferry ride to get there, with a walk on and shuttle option that doesn’t require you have a car.”

— Margie Carter, Madison Park What is the best place in Seattle to enjoy the outdoors?

“Discovery Park … so many trails, beaches ... historic lighthouse, cemetery and Fort Historic District, Visitor Center.”

— Monica Wooton, Magnolia “Everywhere.”

— Peter Moe, Seattle Pacific University “We have so many great parks, all with their own special features. I particularly like Carkeek Park; it has so many ecosystems to explore: beach at low tide for beach combing, good variety of intertidal organisms, salmon stream, woods, historic orchard and lots of trails to walk along. Union Bay Natural Area has a big network of trails, water views of the Lake Washington, woods and access to trails at the University of Washington. Walk in the grounds of Center for Urban Horticulture and admire the flowers and landscaping. Then visit Yesler Swamp, built on the site of Yesler’s sawmill on Lake Washington.”

— Carol Burton, Magnolia “One of my favorite things to do with guests when they visit me in Seattle is to take them to the University of Washington campus.

The Seattle Annual Manual 2019-2020

Visiting the iconic Reading Room in the Suzzallo and Allen Libraries is a must. In the spring, the cherry blossom trees in the quad are beautiful. If you are lucky, you might see Mount Rainier from Red Square or Drumheller Fountain.

— Tyler Agafonov, University District “Ella Bailey Park when Mount Rainier is visible.”

— David Moehring, Magnolia “I love going to Seward Park along the southwest side of Lake Washington. It is a little peninsula jutting out toward Mercer Island, with a paved, wide shoreline path popular for strolling, skating and easy biking around the loop. From there you can see some of the mountains as well as boating activities. A lovely outdoor playground for children complements the loop, along with picnic shelters. But the lesser known part of the park is on the upper trails in the stunning old growth forest, home to eagles’ nests and miles of hiking trails.”

— Margie Carter, Madison Park

“A walk along the water.”

— Ellen Monrad, Queen Anne What neighborhoods would you recommend for their nightlife and why?

“Ballard. Lots of great bars and food.”

— Peter Moe, Seattle Pacific University “Belltown has been a staple of my social life, especially after moving to the nearby Uptown neighborhood. A wide variety of bars and restaurants with different vibes is the biggest appeal to me. Starting the evening with a unique cocktail at Navy Strength and culminating with a can of Rainier and pinball at Shorty's is an experience you can only have in Seattle ... well, maybe Portland, too.”

— Seattle City Council Member Andrew Lewis, Uptown What is your favorite hidden gem you have found in Seattle you would recommend?

“Discovery Park: You get it all the beach and the striking feel of Mother Nature at her most fierce on West Point, the forests, fascinating meadows and miles of trails; 500 acres right in the city, yet one feels light years away from an urban environment when deep in one of Discovery Park’s ravines.”

— Ann Goos, Magnolia

“Seattle Men's Chorus Christmas concert; Most P-Patches — pocket park on Perkins Lane; Seattle Shakespeare Theater; Ella Bailey Park; See's Candies — inexpensive and great, love the fruit truffles, and they hand out a free chocolate with every visit; neighborhood history books!”

— Monica Wooton, Magnolia

“Green Lake and walking along the Ship Canal Trail.”

— Ellen Monrad, Queen Anne

“The Magnolia Village is charming — nice little bookstore, excellent French patisserie, too.”

— Peter Moe, Seattle Pacific University

“Discovery Park.”

— Jason Thibeaux, Magnolia “A walk across the Thomas Street bridge, then take a walk or bike ride along the waterfront to the Expedia steps.”

— Deborah Frausto, Queen Anne What are your favorite things to do/places to visit that don’t cost a lot?

“Elliott Bay Marina west end for a picnic overlooking the water and boats and beach and then walking to Smith Cove Park and back; Myrtle Edwards Park walk; Theater "pay what you can days" at Seattle Rep and Taproot; Fishermen's Terminal docks; Ballard Locks for its heron rookery, the visitors center and the summer concerts; Dollar Store on Aurora.”

— Monica Wooton, Magnolia “Walk onto the ferry and ride to Bainbridge or Kingston, get a coffee and a treat, wander around and then ride back.”

— Peter Moe, Seattle Pacific University “Take the bus downtown and walk through Pike Place Market while snacking on free samples and listening to the buskers, watch the flying fish. Then continue down to the waterfront, walk along the front, checking out activity on the sidewalk and piers. Then, if you’re not too tired, walk up to the International District, check out Hing Hay Park and all the stores. Something my grandson enjoyed when he was 10 to 12 was walking up Seattle’s hills using escalators and elevators in buildings. You can go all the way from the waterfront to First Hill with minimal street walking. Try the Seattle Convention Center to Freeway Park and up to Boren.”

— Carol Burton, Magnolia

“MacLean Park sunrises on a clear morning.”

— David Moehring, Magnolia “Nielsen Pastries and Kubota Gardens.”

— Deborah Frausto, Queen Anne “Landover Woods in north Seattle. You have probably passed this park many times and never knew this little gem was there. It’s shady, so great to walk on a summer day. Take the trail to the end, walk into the neighborhood and you end up with a great view of Puget Sound. A longer walk takes you in a circle through neighborhoods and back to Third Avenue.”

— Carol Burton, Magnolia “The historic old water town in Volunteer Park on Capitol Hill is a lesser known gem in the city for those who have mobility to climb the wide, circular stairway that moves up the interior wall a hundred steps or so. Once at the top, you have a 360-degree view of the city in all its glory. Back in the 1980s, when Mount St. Helens erupted, this is where we went to watch the plume. Another great aspect is the display on the upper level of the Olmsted Brothers’ parks designed throughout our city. You can plan your trip to Volunteer Park to also take in the conservatory and newly renovated Asian Art Museum.”

— Margie Carter, Madison Park “Maybe not so hidden, but everyone in Seattle should take a walk in the arboretum in Montlake — period. It is simply one of the most gorgeous arboretums, and some of the newer exhibits and trails are truly awe inspiring.”

— Ann Goos, Magnolia

Fremont Art Walk Takes Visitors On A Journey

By Anna Power

E

very first Friday of the month, the Fremont neighborhood hosts an art walk to showcase local artists and celebrate community.

The Fremont First Friday Art Walk takes place from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. monthly, and art walkers can follow along a map, https://www. fremontfirstfriday.com/ artwalkmap, to participating venues, while also viewing public art as they walk around the neighborhood.

The art walk takes its visitors on a Fremont journey, through main streets and alleyways, where people stumble upon hidden murals showcasing the creativity of the neighborhood even in between gallery stops.

Starting on North 36th Street, people will find Outsider Comics, a boutique that “brings together a community of individuals (women, minorities, LGBTQ groups) who

identify with geek culture, but have traditionally been underserved by comic shops,” according to its website.

Next, walkers follow steps downstairs where the Down Under Gallery greets them with a yard where an artist reception is sometimes held and beautiful pieces up on entering.

Adrian Laney is a photography artist and owner of Down Under Gallery.

Laney is from Australia and moved to Seattle seven years ago. The Down Under Gallery was given its name in part because it is located down under in a basement and because of his Australian origins, Laney said.

Rick Carter is a mixed media artist who is featured at the Down Under Gallery and has been a part of the artist reception.

“What I shared is pen and ink, acrylic paintings,

painted cloth and quilting, etched stones and glass,” Carter said.

Fremont just walking around the neighborhood, Laney said.

After visiting Outsider Comics and Down Under Gallery, the art walk takes people to the heart of downtown Fremont, where they will find the rest of the participating venues, such as Portage Bay Goods.

“You get to see more of the neighborhood,” he said. “Other art walks are basically going from one gallery to another, so you see art, but you’re not seeing the actual place.”

Lauren Rathburn runs Portage Bay Goods, which focuses on vivid colors and imagery in the art on display.

Some of the art featured has been mixed-media, digital art, pop-up art and abstract art, Rathburn said.

Regulars often come every week of the art walk, building a community between the artists and consumers, Rathburn said.

“One thing I like about Fremont is how different all the places in this neighborhood are, and everybody really has dialed in their aesthetic and niche,” Rathburn said. “… If you go to Art Walk, you’re going to find so many different kinds of art.”

With about 18 different venues showcasing their art pieces mixed in the neighborhood, people have many options to find something that suits them.

“The Fremont Art Walk is different from a lot of other art walks in Seattle because we don’t have a lot of galleries in Fremont, but we do have different shops, bars and restaurants that display art,” Laney said.

People can walk around and look at interesting pieces, drink some wine or beer, buy some art and grab something to eat and watch a live music show at Nectar, making it a whole evening of the Fremont experience, Laney said.

People can see about 95 pieces of public art in

Each venue also holds an artist reception, where attendees get to meet the artists, look at the artwork up close, and talk to the artists about their work, making it a more personal experience and establishing a sense of community between artist and consumers, Laney said.

The Fremont Art Walk has also played an important part in artists’ careers, Laney said.

“A lot of young artists get their break by the art walk in Fremont … Eli Wolff for instance, a very famous artist, started by doing drawings at one of our restaurants here in Fremont,” Laney said.

Uplifting local art is primary to the Fremont Art Walk.

“We really just want to support local, and we’re all local-owned businesses,” Rathburn said.

Carter also values how the Fremont Art Walk brings people from different communities together.

“There are so many different and diverse arts and cultures in Fremont. That’s what it brings together,” Carter said.

Step back in time in the Seattle

By Erica Browne Grivas

C alled one of the finest examples of a Japanese-style stroll garden outside Japan, the University of Washington’s Seattle Japanese Garden offers an urban sanctuary of natural beauty that shifts with every season.

Visitors can stroll gardens modeled after those first developed in the 16th and 17th centuries and journey through diverse settings, a world of landscapes within one garden. A walk through the Seattle Japanese Garden might include the Rhododendron Glen, Wisteria Arbor, moon-viewing platform, a pond, meadow and a teahouse, all within 3.5 acres nestled within the Washington Park Arboretum UW Botanic Gardens near Madison Park.

The year 2020 marked a special milestone for the garden: its 60th anniversary, or “kanreki.” In Japan, kanreki symbolizes re-birth and re-entry into childhood. While celebrations were virtual, the website is awash with well-wishes and tributes like this haiku: 22

“As the pond warms, hungry koi flash their colors, turning adults into children.” – Bill McGee, SJG Steering Committee Ray Larson, curator of living collections for the UW Botanic Gardens, said the large expanses of water in the pond and harbor help create a peaceful atmosphere.

“I’d say, more than many gardens, it’s very tranquil and soothing,” he said.

In 1959, Japanese designers Juki Iida and Kiyoshi Inoshita, appointed to the project by the Japanese government, designed the garden based on principles of “shi zen sa” –naturalness –and “sono mama no susumu sugata,” or noticing the way natural elements age and spread over time. Iida married the style with the local site by blending native Northwest plants with traditional Japanese plants and including hand-selected boulders from the Cascades, installing the garden in just four months. The Seattle Japanese Garden is one of Iida’s only

surviving gardens worldwide.

Japanese-style gardens are exacting and require specialized pruning and meticulous upkeep, which is why, unlike other parts of the Arboretum UW Botanic Gardens, SJG charges an admission fee and only allows service dogs on the grounds. It’s closed from Mid-November through March, which allows the largely volunteer staff to tackle winter pruning, shaping the plants, raking the paths and plucking fall leaves from moss with tweezers.

The Seattle Annual Manual 2019-2020

The azaleas, iris and wisteria rule in spring, but it is the maples’ explosion of color in October and November that earns a yearly pilgrimage for many Seattlites.

“It’s one of the best places in the urban Northwest for fall color, which can be elusive here,” Larson said.

Larson recommends the long view over the garden from the north looking south over the ponds to appreciate the layered composition of the design.

Being connected to a world-class botanic garden, this Japanese-style garden is particularly diverse in terms of plant types. Like many gardeners, Larson declines to pick a favorite

plant since it tends to be the last one he noticed. Nonetheless, he says the Paperbark maple is quite lovely, and he appreciates the “kapow” of the gingkos’ gold fall color against the maples and conifers.

Reminders of the garden’s cultural origins are ever present.

“The garden is architecture as a representation of the natural world,” Larson said. “It’s as much about art and culture, as gardening.”

In October, honoring the garden’s 60th anniversary, a gingko biloba tree seedling grown from a tree that survived the atomic bombing of

Hiroshima, Japan, was planted.

The garden, with Seattle Parks and Recreation and the Washington Arboretum Foundation, hosts educational programs and special events, including Japanese gardening workshops, moon-viewing parties and cultural celebrations.

Although they were temporarily suspended because of COVID-19 restrictions, visitors can enjoy a centuries-old tea ceremony based on Chado, or “The Way of Tea,” at the teahouse for an additional fee ($10 adults, $7 youth). Visitors are asked to avoid bare feet, jeans, rings and personal fragrances.

Creativity on tap in Seattle’s craft beer scene

By Erica Browne Grivas

Photo courtesy Reuben’s Brews Only 8 years old, Reuben’s Brews in Ballard, has won more than 275 medals for its beers as of 2020.

In 2019, Seattle had 91 breweries, according to the Washington Brewers Commission, so whether someone likes their IPA clear or hazy, there’s a nearby tap for them.

“The density of breweries in Seattle is remarkable,” said Kendall Jones, who has chronicled the industry for over a decade on his Washington Beer Blog, washingtonbeerblog.com. “If you look at the number of breweries within the city limits, there are just not a lot of places like it in the world.

Jones said, when he began the blog in 2008, Washington had roughly 100 breweries in the state. In 2019, Washington had 430 – a growth of approximately 400 percent.

Many – 16 actually – are in Ballard, in what is now called the Ballard Brewery District. Thanks to a mix of industrial and commercial real estate, space for tanks and taprooms is more affordable in Ballard than, say, Capitol Hill. Reuben’s Brews has two taprooms there, but only one is currently open.

“I don’t think there’s a neighborhood on earth that enjoys a greater density of breweries per square block than Ballard,” Jones said, noting that, coincidentally, one of the county’s pioneering craft breweries, Redhook, began in Ballard back in 1981.

Ingrid Bartels, of Georgetown Brewery, georgetownbeer.com, said breweries frequently specialize, so despite their large number in Seattle, the specialization keeps the competition dispersed.

A side effect of all this expansion is the democratization of craft beer.

“Craft beer has definitely hit the mainstream, at least in this city,” Bartels said. “Anyone can enjoy really good beer in this town. You go to any grocery store, and it’s amazing how many craft beers there are.”

Bottom Left Photo courtesy Fremont Brewing Company An employee at Fremont Brewing Company gives the thumbs up in front of barrels containing beers that are carefully selected before being presented to the public

Bartels said, rather than diversify, Georgetown does a few beers very well, including “Manny’s Pale Ale,” its iconic pale ale named for co-founder Manuel Chao. As a result, people can find Manny’s in more than 900 Seattle pubs and restaurants, according to Georgetown’s website.

big leagues: to Costco. After Reuben’s younger brother Warren arrived, the company debuted Warren's Pub Cider in 2019.

Bring the dog, the children or some friends and order grub from food trucks and get a pack of tasters; on

Bartels describes Manny’s as “hoppy for a pale ale, but flavorful and malty.” Today, beer geeks might look for more exciting beers, but when it debuted, it was a “gateway” beer that delighted palates trained on blander

“macro-lagers,” Bartels said.

Not to be outshone, Georgetown's Bodhizafa India Pale Ale and Johnny Utah Pale Ale won gold medals in their categories at the national Great American Beer Festival in Denver, Colorado. Georgetown’s annual promotional release of Bob’s Brown Ale has raised more than $1 million for Ronald McDonald House Charities in 14 years. In a regular year, Georgetown’s tasting room offers tours, seasonal brews and to-go growlers.

Only 8 years old, Reuben’s Brews in Ballard, www.reubensbrews.com, has come out swinging, offering 170 beers in 2019. With more than 275 medals as of October 2020, it is now the mostawarded brewery in Washington, Matt Lutton, marketing manager, said.

Reuben’s, named for founding couple Adam and Grace Robbings’ first son, Reuben, designs from the “glass backward.” It launches an average of two new beers a week in taprooms, in what Lutton calls a “farm system” of releases.

For instance, the “Hazylicous Pog” guava-passionfruit vibe was a breakout hit. It jumped from a one-barrel tasting to a 15-barrel release, and then to the

Photo courtesy Fremont Brewing Company Before being presented to the public, beers from Fremont Brewing Company are trialed by an inhouse sensory committee that has been trained to tease out hidden flavors and scents.

“Thank You Thursdays” $1 from any purchase goes to local non-profits.

Fremont Brewing Company's Community Engagement Manager Zan McColloch-Lussier said Fremont’s obsession with quality sets it apart from other breweries. Its website, www.fremontbrewing.com, lists five pages of awards. New beers are trialed by an in-house sensory committee that has gone through six weeks of training to tease out hidden flavors and scents.

Hazy IPAs, known for their juicy texture and fruit-forward flavor, are the latest thing, McColloch-Lussier said, and Fremont offers no less than 23 in its “Head Full of Dynomite” series.

Fremont Brewing’s large childrenand dog-friendly beer garden lends a summer party atmosphere where visitors can order food from several local restaurants. Workspace hours, with free WiFi, are from noon to 3 p.m.

The Black Heron tasting room rolls out experimental mixed-fermentation beers, crafted from local hops, grains and seasonal fruit. Some of these are called “sours.”

“I love sour beers. If you enjoy tart flavors, they’re fantastic to try,” McColloch-Lussier said, adding people might taste bubblegum, banana or clove coming through the phenols.

People interested in touring some of these breweries can jump in with two straws by signing up for the Washington Beer Lovers’ App and 25

Gathering To Celebrate An Photo by Anna Power The Shadow Wall at Jimi Hendrix Park in Seattle’s Central District is just one of many tributes to the iconic late guitarist, who was born and raised in Seattle. The park serves as a gathering place, while honoring Hendrix’s legacy.

L ocated in Seattle’s Central District, Jimi Hendrix Park honors the late Seattle native’s legacy and greets visitors with art, nature and a sense of community.

While Hendrix died at the age of 27 in 1970, he became one of the most renowned electric guitarists of his era.

“Inspired by the music and legacy of Jimi Hendrix, the park, named in his honor, will beautify Seattle, motivate youth and others to achieve in music and art, and strengthen the cultural pulse of the Emerald City, Jimi Hendrix’s hometown,” according to the Jimi Hendrix Park Foundation’s website.

His sister, Janie Hendrix, who helps manage Hendrix’s legacy and music through Experience Hendrix, said her brother’s spirit lives on through the park.

“Jimi’s large signature at the park entrance serves as a personal welcome from Jimi,” she said.

Jimi Hendrix grew up going to school blocks away from the park, 2400 S. Massachusetts St., which 26

“In many ways, erecting a park in his honor, surrounded by the community he loved, is like Jimi coming home,” Janie

“The harmony, peace and love that Jimi had for his hometown and his music was a driving force behind the design that is intended as a welcoming place of respite as much

“Jimi was a person of color in an industry that didn't see many people who looked like him within the rock genre. Certainly, he had ties to blues, but he was a trailblazer who cleared a path with his guitar and his music into other areas. He was the definition of diversity.”

The park space was developed by The Friends of Jimi Hendrix Park, a group of Seattle residents, with input from local community members, according to the Jimi Hendrix Park

as it is meant to encourage community gatherings,” Janie Hendrix said.

This community space is the spirit that drove the development of Jimi Hendrix Park, she said.

The park also serves as a space for inspiration and racial justice. It also uses Jimi Hendrix’s legacy to

motivate young minds to feel empowered, Janie Hendrix said.

When designing the park, Friends of Jimi Hendrix focused on incorporating Hendrix’s art and legacy, Janie Hendrix said.

“The walkway bearing the Little Wing & Angel lyrics reflects the chronological journey he took, musically and in life,” She said. “The Shadow Wave Wall, which is somewhat of a crown jewel of the park, was designed to reflect Jimi’s music — free flowing and enormous.”

The greenery and butterfly sanctuary featured in the park allude to Jimi Hendrix’s love for the planet, she said.

“It all comes back to the artistry of the incredible human being the park is

The park often features a variety of gatherings to bring residents together.

“There are concerts, official city events, civic gatherings, such as in

reaction to the Black Lives Matter movement, cultural activities, the Roots celebration and even private functions,” Janie Hendrix said.

up, visitors can gain insight to who he was, while feeling connected to his spirit.

“Jimi stood for racial equality and justice,” Janie Hendrix said. “The park provides a place for the community to come

NAAM mission is to educate and enjoy Photo courtesy NAAM The purpose of the Northwest African American Museum, which offers many different displays from Black artists and shares different positive messages such as this one about beauty, is to educate but also celebrate the history, arts and culture of the Black community.

N

o classes were in session, but people were already lined up at 8 a.m. outside Northwest African American Museum’s Impact Public School, recently.

Patrice Bell saw some of the same faces as last week and lots of new ones. Bell, external affairs officer for the Northwest African American Musuem, was giving out books centering on Black and brown characters for prekindergarten through high school readers from the museum’s “Knowledge is Power” program.

There are no rules people can take one for themselves, their child, their neighbor.

“People take as many as they need,” Bell said.

The museum started the 28

By Erica Browne Grivas program in the summer of 2020, and it was an instant hit with the community and donors.

“My goodness it’s heartwarming,” Bell said.

“It’s one of my favorite programs. It’s really nice to have people come back and share that their kids loved seeing brown faces in the stories.”

Education and community support make up a lot of the programming at NAAM, from a youthmentoring program called “Interrupting Privilege,” and “Youth Curators,” in which students create an exhibit shown for a year to panel discussions. They also have celebrations of Martin Luther King Day and Grandparent’s Day and a “Black Santa” holiday photo shoot.

“Our mission is, in

short, to educate, but really to make sure people understand, appreciate and enjoy the history, arts and culture of Black people in the Northwest,” Bell said.

The award-winning museum, 2300 S. Massachusetts St., founded in 2012 in the former Colman School building in the Central District, overlooks Jimi Hendrix Park, named because the iconic guitarist grew up in the community. Because it is located on one floor, NAAM has little storage for permanent galleries, so its focus is on visiting exhibits to spotlight artists of color, like 2019’s “Iconic Black Women”, by Seattle’s Hiawatha D. It makes space, however, for its most popular item: Hendrix’s trademark fedora, right off the lobby.

This small museum was a long time coming.

Conceived in 1981, it took numerous task forces, committees, leagues and a sit-in to make the museum a reality. In 1985, protesters occupied the slated-fordemolition Colman School building, lasting for eight years, and then political in-fighting delayed the opening until 2012. The resulting compromise was the museum takes up the first floor, and low-cost apartments are on the upper floor.

In late 2017, LaNesha DeBardelaben joined as executive director, telling the Seattle Times her plan for NAAM was “enhancement, engagement and expansion,” and since then, Bell said, sales, volunteerism and rentals have gone way up.

The Seattle Annual Manual 2019-2020

She says revenue from “Black Santa” doubled from 2018 to 2019, and 2020’s Martin Luther King Day celebration was the best yet, with 206 volunteers and 3,500 visitors.

“Our rentals have been ridiculous,” Bell said. “We rent out for weddings, birthdays, company trainings. It’s a beautiful space, and people love to be surrounded by black art.

“Our executive director has built up a great team, and we have seen a huge growth in our programs, always making sure we are inclusive,” Bell added.

Photo courtesy NAAM The idea for the Northwest African American Museum in Seattle developed in 1981 but did not become reality until 2012. It is at the site of the former Colman School building.

In 2019, the museum racked up three honors: joining the Standards and Excellence Program of the Smithsonian’s National Museum of African American History, being named a finalist for the National Medal for Museum Service Award, the highest award for museum community service, and the Exhibition of the Year Award by the Association of King County Historical Organizations.

NAAM’s next goal?

Accreditation from the American Alliance of Museums.

“Only about 3 percent of museums in the U.S. are accredited,” Bell said.

“So that will help us stand apart, holding to certain standards.”

For all ages, of all backgrounds, NAAM offers visitors an enriching experience, Bell said.

Seattle offers places to worship for all

By Anna Power No matter a person’s faith, Seattle has a place for them to practice and find community. There are many different places of worship throughout the city. Below are six places of worship for a glimpse of the variety of religious practices Seattle has to offer.

Idris Mosque

Idris Mosque is located at 1420 N.E. Northgate Way in North Seattle.

The Muslim house of worship holds five daily prayer services throughout each day, Sister Azizeh Farajallah said.

They often open up their space to other members of Seattle’s faith community for events, such as “cup of tea,” which takes place four times a year.

“Cup of Tea is an event where people from different faiths come to talk about Islam and fight Islamophobia, simply by serving tea and having meaningful conversation with our neighbors who come to our mosque during these times,” event organizer Elyaa Hammad said.

Other ways the mosque connects with the community is through its homeless outreach, an annual barbeque, a weekend school for children and a weekly women’s circle.

“We have a women’s 30

circle every Friday night where women gather in a room together and discuss a topic from Islam or just vent and talk about issues that we’re facing,” Farajallah said.

Through these practices, Idris Mosque provides a strong sense of connection and support for all who wish to be a part of their community.

Farajallah said the mosque welcomes newcomers.

“We are always open for anybody who would like to join our community,” she said.

For more information, go to https://www.idrismosque. com/.

Dai Bai Zan Cho Bo Zen Ji

Dai Bai Zan Cho Bo Zen Ji is a Buddhist temple located at 1733 S. Horton St. in North Beacon Hill, according to its website site, choboji.org/.

The temple holds daily meditation services, Reverend Sendo Anne Howells said.

“After Saturday morning meditation, we have a council meeting where people speak about what comes up during meditation,” Howells said.

Services take place in the temple’s Japanesestyle seated meditation

room with wooden floors, cushions, calligraphy scrolls on walls and flowers on the altar to generate a peaceful, calm and powerful atmosphere, Howells said.

There is a garden right outside for people to visit and walk through.

“We have an intro to Zen class on Thursdays to introduce people to ritual.

Everyone is welcome,” Howells said.

The community practices a Zen form of Buddhism, where people can come once a week or every day to be a part of the small and intimate community, Howells said.

“We also host a BIPOC sitting group on Sunday morning, 9 to 10 a.m. in an effort to be more inclusive and extend outreach,” Howells said.

Mount Zion Baptist Church

In a city that is only 6.8 percent Black or African American, according to Seattle.gov, finding community is important, yet difficult. One church is built on providing a religious community for African Americans in Seattle.

Mount Zion Baptist Church is located at 1634 19th Ave. in the Central District, according to its website, mountzion.net.

“In 1890, one year after

Washington became a state and thirty-eight years after Seattle was established as a city, a small group of African Americans held prayer services in their homes.

These prayer services became the Mount Zion Baptist Church,” according to the site.

The church is now known as home to the largest African American congregation in Washington state, according to the site.

Regular service times include Sunday Worship at 7:30 a.m. and 10:45 a.m., Evening Pray at 7 p.m.

Wednesdays, along with Sunday School classes and Children’s Church, according to the site.

Mount Zion also has mentorship programs and community service outreach.

Saint James Cathedral

Saint James Cathedral is a Catholic church located at 804 Ninth Ave. in the First Hill neighborhood, according to the website, www.stjames-cathedral.org.

The church offers daily Mass, along with six masses throughout the weekend, Father Michael Ryan said.

These frequent services, along with outreach programs, help bring the community together, he said.

“We run a kitchen where

The Seattle Annual Manual 2019-2020

we feed typically 115 to 200 people six days a week,” Ryan said. “We run an overnight homeless shelter eight months of the year.

We also have an immigrant assistance program, where we help people who arrive in the country to learn the language and to help them with citizenship issues.”

Saint James Cathedral is a 120-year-old Renaissancestyle building filled with stained glass, Ryan said.

“We have a reputation of being so warm and welcoming, and a strong community with a solid presence in the larger community,” he said. “It’s just a great place to worship and a great place to serve.”

Temple De Hirsch Sinai Temple De Hirsch Sinai is a Reform Jewish congregation with two locations: one at 1511 E.

Pike St. near the Central District and another at 3850 156th Ave. S.E. in Bellevue, according to its website, https://templedehirschsinai. org/.

“The most important thing about our congregation, particularly what distinguishes it from other communities, is our size of the depth and breadth of the we offer. We are a part of the Reform Jewish movement, which is the most modernist, egalitarian inclusive movement,” Senior Rabbi Daniel Weiner said.

The temple holds worship services Friday nights and Saturday mornings for Sabbath. It also offers religious school, Hebrew training, and social action opportunities, Weiner said.

“We extend ourselves

to be welcoming and supportive of interfaith families, non-nuclear families and diversity in our current society,” Weiner said.

Emerald City Metropolitan Community Church Many people come to Seattle for its strong Queer - community, including in their religious spaces.

Emerald City Metropolitan Community Church based in Queer inclusive theology was developed for LGBTQ+ community members to practice their faith openly in a safe space.

ECMCC is located at 1415 N.E. 43rd St. in University District, according to the website, www.mccseattle. org/.

“The Universal Fellowship of Metropolitan Community Churches was founded in 1968 by Reverend Troy Perry, specifically to minister to the needs of the LGBTQ+ community at a time when other Christian denominations were not open and affirming,” according to the website.

“The LGBTQ+ community has an ongoing need to approach God without shame or second-class status.”
