A new way to see Seattle
David Williams
giving QA natural history virtual presentation
By Jessica Keller QA&Mag News editor
Although he has lived in Seattle most of his life, self-styled urban naturalist and author David B. Williams is always spotting new things incorporated in Seattle's urban landscape and architecture on his regular walks through the city.
Williams, a former national park ranger, outdoor instructor, and museum educator, said he sees the world through a geologic and natural history lens and enjoys seeing how people have either incorporated natural history in their architecture or landscapes or adapted around it. He then shares his findings with other residents through tours or presentations.
"To me, it's about connections and engaging and building a relationship with the world I live in," Williams said.
Residents are invited to hear about his explorations of Queen Anne during his newest presentation, “The Street-Smart Naturalist of Queen Anne Hill: Observe Natural History Outside Your Front Door," from 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. Thursday to wrap up the Queen Anne Historical Society's

People looking walking by Seattle Church of Christ at Eighth Avenue and West Halladay Street in Queen Anne will see a squirrel and bird carved into the border of the roof. Urban naturalist and author will be giving a virtual presentation about unique features in Queen Anne and Seattle during the Queen Anne Historical Society's meeting Thursday evening.
observance of its 50th anniversary. From retaining walls made of old trolley tracks, to 105 millionyear-old invertebrate shell fossils included in the facade of a building at West McGraw Street and Queen Anne Avenue North, Williams said he has come across many interesting intersections of
human activity and the natural world just walking around the neighborhoods.
"I'm always out walking, so for me, it's a great way to explore and just notice curious aspects that people walk by every day that they may not notice or think about," Williams said.
For example, Williams said, not very many people know that the roof of the Queen Anne Library is made of slate millions of years old and mined from New York and brought to Seattle.
"To me, it's just sort of an

interesting story that you've got a multi-million-year-old rock on top of the library," Williams said. "I'm just always interested in these curious little phenomenons."
During his presentation Thursday, Williams said he hopes to give people a new perspective or appreciation of Queen Anne and the city they call home.
"In the world we live in, certainly over the last 18 months or so, many of us have sort of been forced to stay close to home and do things in their neighborhoods, and my hope is for people to be able to do that and have a moment enjoying engaging exploration of their neighborhood," Williams said.
He said his virtual presentation will last about 40 minutes, with time for questions afterward. Register to attend the Zoom at https://qahistory.org/event/queen-anne-geologichistory-with-david-b-williams/, or go to the Queen Anne Historical Society's Facebook page, https:// www.facebook.com/QueenAnneHistoricalSociety.
While Williams has included many of his observations in his books through the years, his most
recent publication, "Homewaters," is about Puget Sound and not only considers the body of water, it also focuses on how the Sound plays a prominent part of human history and the development of this area.
By telling stories of the past in his books, Williams said his goal is to always help people understand the present and make more informed decisions about the future.

Why do leaves fall in the autumn?
You’re right, each year during the fall, we often see a lot of trees dropping their leaves. To find out exactly what happens when leaves fall, I talked to my friend Henry Adams, a researcher at Washington State University.
Adams is very curious about the lives of trees and how they can survive harsh conditions. He reminded me that all year long trees make their own chemicals that help control how they grow.
It turns out there are two main chemicals that play a part in whether the leaves stay on the tree or fall to the ground.
The chemical that helps a tree keep its leaves is called auxin. Meanwhile, a chemical called ethylene helps flowers open, fruit ripen and leaves fall.
“There are these two chemicals, and they are sort of fighting it out throughout the year,” Adams said.
In summer, the tree makes a lot of auxin. But when fall comes around, the tree starts making less auxin and more ethylene at the place on the plant where the stem attaches to the leaf. Scientists call this the abscission zone.
When there is too much ethylene in the tree, the building blocks that make up the leaf will start to die. The leaves detach from the tree and fall to the ground — with help from gravity and the wind, of course.
I started to wonder why we see these kinds of changes in chemicals. Adams said one thing we know is that plants can respond to different kinds of signals from the environment. Some of these signals include the amount of daylight, temperature and overall climate where the plant lives.

and will change the narrative in this city by coming together, uniting around our shared values, and doing the work to move Seattle forward,” Harrell posted on his Twitter feed last week. “I can’t wait to get to started.”
In the other highly contested race of great interest to voters, Ann Davison defeated Nicole Thomas-Kennedy in the city attorney race to replace City Attorney Pete Holmes, who was defeated in the primary election.
As of Friday, Republican Davison's victory was all but secured, with her picking up 125,437 votes to Thomas-Kennedy's 112,862 and 17,835 ballots remaining to count.
In the City Council races, incumbent Teresa Mosqueda held off a challenge by Kenneth Wilson in the at-large Position 8 race.
In the at-large Council Position 9 race to replace González, Sara Nelson, co-owner of Fremont Brewing and adviser to former City Councilmember Rob Conlin, defeated lawyer and non-profit administrator Nikkita Oliver.
In the local District 4 School Board race, Vivian Song Maritz easily defeated Queen Anne resident Laura Marie Rivera.
In October, Maritz said a top priority for her on the School Board would be to ensure the district has financial plans and biggest concern is ensuring the district has a financial plan and commitments in place to support its goals and that money is spent with the most impact.
She also wants to ensure that, if the district has to make cuts to its
When the days get shorter and colder as they do during fall in the Northern Hemisphere, that’s a signal to the plant to stop making the leaf-attaching chemical, auxin.
It’s actually a good thing the tree doesn’t want to keep its leaves, though. Big flat leaves are a problem if they freeze and die, Adams said. Plants put a lot of important stuff called nutrients, which is kind of like their food source, into their leaves. These nutrients include things like magnesium and nitrogen that help the trees grow.
“Those nutrients are hard to come by. It’s really valuable, and the plant would rather keep that stuff around,” Adams said.
Instead of continuing to make leaves that would otherwise just die during a frost, the trees store up some nutrients from their leaves in other parts of the tree before the winter. Then they drop their leaves. For some trees, it’s better just to have bare branches during the cold seasons. It will help them survive.
As fallen leaves break down, or decompose, they can also provide some nutrients to the soil and play a part in helping a new generation of trees to grow. That means more new tree leaves to watch bud in the spring and more leaves to jump in when fall comes around again.
Sincerely,
Dr. Universe
budget because of enrollment decreases, those cuts are made with careful consideration.
“My hope is that we prioritize funding so that the last things that are cut are the things that directly impact the classroom,” Maritz said in October.
Seattle Public Schools District 4 encompasses Queen Anne, Magnolia and part of Ballard.
In the general election, Seattle residents may vote in every School Board race, regardless of the district in which they reside.
In the race for District 5, which includes the Central District, Capitol Hill, Leschi and Madrona, Michelle Sarju defeated opponent Dan Harder. Sarju will take over for outgoing board member Zachary DeWolf, who chose not to run for reelection.
Lastly, incumbent Brandon K. Hersey secured his reelection bid in the District 7 race, easily defeating challenger Genesis Williamson.
Of the 1,400,321 registered voters in King County, officials had counted 568,291 ballots as of Nov. 5, with an estimated 36,000 ballots left to count.
