SUMMER MEALS, 3

City Light plans to install a new underground electrical system while coordinating with Seattle Public Utilities to replace water mains and valves in six intersections, reducing the number of times streets must be excavated. Strong said the failures are tied to direct-buried cable, which is placed directly in the ground and relies on protective sheathing that breaks down over time. “Our underground cable network, particularly our direct-buried cable, is seeing a significant uptick in outages,” Strong said. “Queen Anne is one, of course, where direct-buried cables are failing at a high rate.” City Light has used cable injection and other maintenance programs to extend the life of underground cable where possible. But in some areas, including portions of Queen Anne, those approaches are no longer enough.

Seattle Pride Rally Unites Generations Downtown Laura Marie Rivera

n a beautiful PNW day, downtown Seattle transformed this last Sunday in June into a celebration of community as the Seattle Pride Parade drew large crowds for a grand procession stretching from Westlake Park to Seattle Center. This year’s parade was led by grand marshal Deaunte Damper and centered on the theme “RALLY,” a call for groups and communities to organize, show up, and strengthen collective action.

With the city already buzzing from FIFA excitement, the parade added an extra layer of energy to an already vibrant weekend. Music, cheering crowds, and rainbow flags lined more than a mile of 4th Avenue as thousands of participants made their way through the heart of downtown. SEATTLE PRIDE has long been known for its visibility and celebration. And this year’s parade stood out for something quieter but deeply present throughout the route: the presence of families and multiple generations participating side by side. Families weren’t just watching from the sidelines—they were marching in the parade itself. Groups of all ages moved

together through the streets, from young children experiencing their first Pride to longtime participants who have returned year after year. Elected officials added to the multigenerational presence. King County Executive Girmay Zahilay has been marching this route for years. This year, he marched alongside his father and young daughter. And Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson participated with her own young daughter. Seattle Public Schools made its presence known with one of the parade’s largest—and loudest— contingents, led by School Board Director Jen LaVallee. That sense of continuity was reflected by Tyler Crone, a local advocate and Mother, who said, “We’ve been marching as a

family at Pride for more than a decade. Getting to share this day with so many trailblazers over the years means the world to us!” Her words echoed a broader theme visible throughout the event: Pride as both celebration and tradition, passed across generations. That generational thread appeared in the organizations represented along the route. CCRM Fertility highlighted the beginning of inclusive family journeys, while a senior LGBTQ+ group marched with “Graying Gay-ly” signs. Community groups, civic organizations, and advocacy leaders filled the space between, reflecting every stage of life.

The program continues this year as food costs remain high for many families. It also reflects Mayor Katie Wilson’s focus on food access, affordability, and making Seattle a city where families can raise children and thrive. Mayor Wilson recently announced that free school meals will be available to all Seattle Public Schools students starting this fall. The Summer Meals Program helps bridge the gap when children and teens lose access to the free and reduced-price meals provided during the school year. “When school is out, many families lose access to the meals their children count on during the school year,” said Mayor Katie Wilson. “At a time when groceries and other living expenses are on the rise, the Summer Meals Program helps take pressure off families and makes sure children and teens can get healthy food during the summer. No child in Seattle should go hungry because cafeterias are closed.” Last year, Seattle’s Summer Meals Program served more than 80,000 free meals and snacks to local children and teens. Amid cuts to safety net programs like SNAP, the Seattle Summer Meals Program is a lifeline to local families who can access food without the need for identification or proof of residency. No application or paperwork is required. The Summer Meals Program is made possible with funding from local, state, and federal partners.   “Rising grocery costs, federal cuts, and limited food bank capacity are putting pressure on low-income families like never before,” said Tanya Kim, director of the Seattle Human Services Department.

repeated outages remains years from completion. The utility plans to replace four miles of direct-buried underground cable serving Queen Anne. Phase 1 will replace 2.5

miles of cable and equipment with the greatest number of failures, with construction expected to begin in mid-2027. Phase 2, covering the remaining cable and equipment, is expected to begin before 2030. “We are truly sorry to the Queen Anne community that there has been a significant number of recent outages,” said Andy Strong, Seattle City Light’s officer for engineering and project delivery. “As public servants, this does affect us deeply as we take pride in providing what is an essential service.” Rob Santo, Seattle City Light’s interim general manager and CEO, said nearly 1,500 customers on the southwest side of Queen Anne are served by aging direct-buried cable. He said outages over the past several years, and especially in recent weeks, have affected that system. “We know these outages are frustrating and unpredictable,” Santo said. The work will span about 85 acres and more than 40 blocks.

King County Executive Girmay Zahilay and his daughter lead a contingent of about 100 King County employees during the Seattle Pride Parade on Sunday, June 28. Families and multiple generations were a recurring theme throughout this year’s RALLY celebration.

CITY LIGHT, FROM 1 “We’ve reached the end of our options,” Strong said. Jason Devaney, manager of City Light’s underground cable replacement program, said Queen Anne is unusually complicated because of narrow rights-of-way, mature trees, older utilities, existing sewer and communication lines, private structures in the right-of-way and the current electrical system, which must remain energized during construction. The new system is also being designed for future electrical demand. Devaney said City Light is anticipating more EV chargers, conversion from fossil fuels, added electric appliances and neighborhood densification through accessory dwelling units and other development. That long-term planning is one reason City Light officials said an emergency declaration would not necessarily best serve Queen Anne. Strong said emergency work under state rules would push the city toward replacing the system “in kind,” or like for like, rather than building the broader upgrade now being designed. “If we declare an emergency, we lose that ability to plan for the future and we will be back at the community at a later date, increasing that capacity,” Strong said. Officials also said an emergency approach could disrupt coordination with SPU. If water-main replacement could not be timed with City Light’s electrical duct-bank installation, residents could see streets restored after electrical work, then opened again a year or two later for separate water work. Emergency work could also reduce City Light’s ability to plan construction sequencing, notify residents, coordinate traffic impacts and discuss planned outages, potentially creating greater impacts and delaying final cable installation. The project remains subject to public bidding. Devaney said selecting a contractor generally takes three to four months, followed by another one to two months before work begins. Residents pressed officials on what can be done before construction begins, raising concerns about future

winters, especially for older residents or those whose homes depend on electricity for heat, garage access or other essential needs. City Light did not offer a formal interim mitigation program during the meeting. When residents asked about hotel stays, generator costs or other measures during future outages, officials pointed to existing resources, including the city’s claims process. Marcus Jackson, a City Light customer-care representative, said the utility has not historically reimbursed customers for generators. “We haven’t reimbursed for, like, generators and stuff like that in the past,” Jackson said. He added that any incentives or rebates would need internal discussion and may not be something the city could entertain. The claims process offers residents a way to seek reimbursement if they believe the city is at fault for loss, injury or damage. But it does not guarantee payment and does not prevent outages from occurring. City Light’s project page lists outage resources, including enrollment in the life-support equipment program, generator safety information and the city’s claims process. It does not describe a temporary backuppower program, generator subsidy, customer credit or other interim reliability measure while residents wait. City Light officials said they will continue monitoring outage data and emergency thresholds, including life-safety impacts, critical customers, outage frequency and outage duration. For now, the utility says it is trying to expedite design, permitting and preparation for bidding while preserving the broader system upgrade. When construction begins, residents should expect temporary parking and traffic restrictions, roadway closures, trenching, driveway access limitations during work hours and planned power outages. City Light says affected residents will be notified in advance. The utility says the project is intended to improve reliability and reduce unplanned outages in Queen Anne. But the meeting made clear that the solution will not arrive quickly.

PRIDE, FROM 1 Sports also played a prominent role in this year’s parade, underscoring how LGBTQ+ inclusion has expanded into new cultural spaces. Seattle’s new Professional Women’s Hockey League team, the Seattle Torrent, also joined as grand marshals. Mascots including the Seahawks’ Blitz and Sammy the Sounders, and Seattle Reign players joined in the celebration, alongside Seattle Sports Commissioner Jen Barnes of Rough & Tumble, the women’s sports bar helping build a growing local sports community. For hours, the parade moved through downtown as spectators lined sidewalks several rows deep, many staying throughout the afternoon. Children collected candy, beads, bubbles, stickers, and books from the library, while longtime attendees reflected on how Pride has evolved into a broader community celebration. By the time the final groups reached Seattle Center, the message of the day was clear: Pride in Seattle is not only a celebration of identity, but a gathering place where families of all kinds—and all generations—can share the same streets, the same joy, and the same sense of belonging. As Emily Carmichael, another Mom and advocate, remarked, “I love marching in the parade with my kids, and seeing all the kids and families as spectators. Pride models love, joy, and inclusion. And in these dark times, what could be more important than that?” The monthlong festivities continued throughout the afternoon and evening as a reminder that Pride in Seattle is not confined to a single day or even month—but passed forward, generation to generation, on the same streets where it was celebrated.

SUMMER MEALS, FROM 1 “When schools close for the summer, the Summer Meals Program fills the gap and ensures no child in Seattle goes without. We are grateful to the partner community organizations, as well as United Way of King County and Seattle Parks and Recreation, for their collaboration to help us serve as many children and families as possible.” Meal sites include public parks and playgrounds, community centers, and local nonprofits. By partnering with the Seattle Parks and Recreation, the Summer Meals Program is able to provide food at locations that are accessible to all and conveniently

located across the city, with an emphasis on under-resourced neighborhoods. To celebrate the return of the Summer Meals Program, families and individuals are invited to the Summer Meals Celebration on Friday, July 17, from 11 AM to 2 PM at Highland Park Playground (1100 SW Cloverdale St., Seattle, WA, 98106). The event will include free food, a bouncy house, and other kid-friendly activities. This year’s Summer Meals Program runs June 24 through Aug. 21, 2026. For more information on the program, including meal schedules and location sites, please visit seattle.gov/ Summer-Food.

Savvy Senior: What to do When Medical Bills Pile Up

By Jim Miller Dear Savvy Senior, I’m 63 and recently had a hospital stay that left me with bills I can’t afford to pay. I had Affordable Care Act health insurance, but after my premiums went up in January, I had to drop my coverage. Now I’m overwhelmed by medical bills. What can I do? —Struggling Patient Dear Struggling, You’re definitely not alone. Medical debt is very common. About 1 in 12 Americans are dealing with it, and many had insurance when the bills started piling up. The good news is there are ways to reduce what you owe and make it more manageable. Here are some steps that can help.

CHECK YOUR BILLS

Medical billing errors are more common than you might think, so start by taking a close look at every bill and explanation of benefits you receive. Watch for duplicate charges, services you did not receive or prices that seem off. If something does not look right, call your provider’s billing office and ask for an itemized bill. Do not be shy about asking questions. Even small mistakes can add up.

ASK ABOUT HELP

Most hospitals, especially nonprofit ones, are required to offer financial assistance programs, often called charity care. Depending on your income, you may qualify to have part or even all of your bill forgiven. Call the hospital billing office and ask specifically about financial assistance. You can also visit DollarFor.org, a nonprofit that helps patients apply for charity care programs at no cost.

NEGOTIATE COSTS

If you do not qualify for assistance, you still have options. Many hospitals and doctors are willing to work with patients, especially if you reach out early. Ask if they can lower the bill or offer a discount if you can pay

something upfront. You can also request a no interest payment plan to spread the cost out over time. If this feels overwhelming, a medical billing advocate can help. The Alliance of Professional Health Advocates, at aphadvocates.org, can connect you with professionals who review bills and negotiate on your behalf.

FIND PROGRAMS

Since you recently lost coverage, it is also worth checking whether you qualify for Medicaid, especially if your income has dropped. You can apply through Healthcare.gov or your state Medicaid office. Another helpful tool is BenefitsCheckUp.org, from the National Council on Aging, which can point you to programs that help lower health care and prescription costs.

GET SUPPORT

You do not have to handle this on your own. There are several trusted organizations that offer free or low-cost help. The Patient Advocate Foundation (patientadvocate.org) provides case

management services and can help you find financial assistance. The National Foundation for Credit Counseling (nfcc.org) offers nonprofit credit counseling and guidance on managing debt. You can also visit NeedyMeds.org to locate programs that can help lower the cost of prescriptions and other medical expenses. The most important thing is to act sooner rather than later. Ignoring medical bills can lead to collections and added stress, but many providers are willing to work with you if you reach out. Start by reviewing your bills, then explore assistance programs and payment options. With some persistence, you can often lower what you owe and set up a plan that fits your budget. Medical debt is common, even among people who had insurance, but it is often negotiable, and there are real resources available to help you through it. Send your questions or comments to questions@savvysenior. org, or to Savvy Senior, P.O. Box 5443, Norman, OK 73070.

Where to Go When Fireworks Come With a Cover Charge Seattle’s Fourth of July tradition is still free, technically, which is the most Seattle way a thing can become more complicated.

as Works Park, the city’s classic fireworks perch, is still free. Please do not write an angry letter yet. But free now comes with a ticket, a capacity limit, an entry cutoff and the creeping feeling that America’s birthday has been transferred to Eventbrite. The Lake Union fireworks are still the main character. Gas Works is still the postcard. You just need to plan ahead, which is unfortunate because planning ahead is not traditionally how anyone ends up on a hill with a blanket, one warm seltzer and no sunscreen. So where should people go when Gas Works is full, confusing or simply too much of a commitment? Start with Lake Union Park, the official “same show, fewer hillbased survival skills” option. It sits on the South Lake Union side of the celebration, with free public admission, paid reserved seating if you prefer your patriotism with a receipt, and a flatter layout for anyone who does not want to

descend Gas Works after dark like they are escaping a nature documentary. The fireworks are expected around 10:15 p.m. Bhy Kracke Park is the sleeper pick because it looks toward Lake Union, downtown and Capitol Hill. Kerry Park has the iconic skyline view, which means it will also have half of Instagram and a photog blocking the sidewalk with an oversized tripod “rig”. Magnolia’s Ella Bailey Park offers a strong city view and familyfriendly grass, though it is more of a skyline-and-vibes option than an official fireworks venue. Go early and pack out your trash. If you want to pay to avoid the ground entirely, Sky View Observatory in Columbia Tower is selling tickets for a Fourth of July party high above downtown Seattle. This is the luxury panic room version of fireworks viewing: cocktails, food packages, elevator confidence and the possibility that clouds will arrive to remind everyone that even money cannot defeat Pacific Northwest weather.

Willing to leave Seattle? Good. Growth is possible. Bellevue Family 4th is the polished Eastside answer, with Downtown Park festivities beginning at 5 p.m. and fireworks at 10:05 p.m. Bellevue is what happens when a city looks at chaos and says, “What if this had a traffic advisory?” Kent’s Fourth of July Splash at Lake Meridian Park is free, with live music, food trucks and fireworks at 10 p.m. It also comes with a transportation plan so specific it clearly has trauma behind it. Park gates and free shuttles start at 3 p.m. There is no loading or unloading at Lake Meridian Park this year. No stopping. No dropoffs. Kent has heard your plan, and Kent has rejected it in advance. Then there is Puyallup’s Red, White and Kaboom at the Washington State Fair Event Center. Yes, it is far. But it is also at the fairgrounds, meaning this is not somebody’s cousin with a folding table and a Bluetooth speaker. The July 3 (yes, really,

July 3) event includes live music, a beer garden, food trucks, a car show, kids’ activities, a 5K and a professional fireworks display at 10 p.m. It is the “go big, go early, and maybe don’t fight Seattle traffic on the Fourth” option. All of these choices share one important feature: they are not your driveway. Consumer fireworks are illegal in Seattle. Not frowned upon. Not “complicated.” Illegal. The Seattle Fire Department reported 51 fireworks-related fires in 2024, and Harborview treated 55 fireworksinjury patients that year. Those numbers are the difference between “festive neighborhood tradition” and “why is there a fire engine outside Trevor’s house again?”

Doing your own fireworks in Seattle is a terrible idea for the same reason juggling steak knives in a dry Christmas tree lot is a terrible idea. It is illegal, loud, dangerous, bad for pets, bad for veterans, bad for roofs, bad for fingers and bad for everyone who would prefer July 5th not begin with sweeping cardboard tubes out of the gutter. So choose Lake Union Park. Choose a Queen Anne overlook. Choose Bellevue, Kent or Puyallup a day early. Choose the sky palace downtown if you want to watch freedom with a cocktail and a weather disclaimer. Just do not choose Trevor and his driveway fireworks show. Trevor has had enough chances.

The Hot Dogs Can Be Questionable. The Driving Can’t.

Staff Report

here is a very specific moment after the Lake Union fireworks when everyone remembers they all arrived in cars. The sky goes dark. The kids are tired. Someone’s dad has a lawn chair over one shoulder, a blanket under his arm, a sleepy child holding two of his fingers and one tiny shoe in his pocket that may or may not belong to his family. Half the crowd is trying to find the same parking lot exit. The other half is insisting they know a “better way out,” which in Seattle usually means a hill, a blocked street and someone saying, “No, I think this connects to Westlake.” The Fourth of July is one of Seattle’s biggest nights out. That means more pedestrians, more parked cars, more bikes, more scooters and more drivers trying to leave Lake Union, Seattle Center, Queen Anne, South Lake Union and nearby neighborhoods at the exact same time. It should also go without saying, but apparently it does not: the highway is not a fireworks viewing area. Do not stop on I-5, SR 99, Aurora, ramps, shoulders, exits, overpasses or bridges to watch the show. Do not throw on the hazards

and pretend that makes it fine. Highways are for driving, not patriotic sightseeing with a side of emergency response. Anyone drinking, using cannabis or taking medication that affects reaction time, judgment or coordination should not drive. That includes the person who “only had a couple,” the person who “knows these streets,” and the person who insists they drive better when they are relaxed. No, they most certainly do not. Hosts can help by offering food, water and nonalcoholic drinks, and by helping guests plan rides before the night gets late. Be the person who says, “You are not driving,” even if it makes the room briefly awkward. A little awkward is better than a crash, a DUI or someone explaining why they thought the shoulder of I-5 was a scenic overlook. Sober drivers still need to slow down, watch for people crossing outside the usual places, put the phone away and leave extra room. Nobody wins a prize for getting out of South Lake Union first. The Fourth of July should end with tired kids, leftover snacks and smoke-scented sweatshirts. Buckle up, be patient and let the holiday end the way it should: with everyone home safe and nobody treating a freeway ramp like front-row seating.

Prepare Your Yard for Evening Entertaining

ven when the sun goes down, the opportunity to entertain outdoors is still possible. Transforming a backyard into an evening oasis does not necessarily require major renovations, but it should involve adjusting the atmosphere to facilitate comfort and visibility. The following tips can help hosts optimize outdoor spaces for nighttime events.

LAYERED LIGHTING

Lighting is the main priority when hosting at night. Lighting establishes ambiance and creates safety in the space. Hosts should avoid floodlights which can be too harsh and create a clinical feeling. Instead, melding different lighting options together can set the scene. String lights provide a warm, even glow that can outline the perimeter and “ceiling” of an outdoor room. Low-voltage LEDs or solar lights can make walkways more visible and call attention to changes in elevation. Accent lighting, such as small spotlights uplighting trees or architectural features, will create depth and keep the yard from feeling like an abyss beyond the patio or deck.

CREATE FOCAL POINTS

Individuals will gather around various focal points in the yard. These established zones will encourage conversation and other activities. A fire pit is a natural magnet for outdoor events. Arrange seating around the fire pit to keep conversation flowing. An outdoor bar also is a great place for people to gather,

whether it’s stocked with alcoholic or non-alcoholic drinks. Mark off an area where people can mingle and dance. Set up an outdoor speaker in this area.

OUTDOOR COMFORT

Contending with bugs and weather is a natural side effect of spending time outdoors, particularly in the evening. Citronella candles can keep mosquitoes and gnats at bay. A simple electric floor fan also can be effective against mosquitoes, which are weak fliers that can’t fly against the breeze. A fire pit, propane patio heater and a basket of blankets can help tame the chills if the temperature drops. Keeping pop-up canopies at the ready will help if rain starts to fall.

OUTDOOR PLAY

Whether a homeowner has a small patio or sprawling acreage, these games can make outdoor entertaining spaces more fun. · Cornhole: A reigning champion of “toss” games, cornhole has legions of fans. Hard core players may want to invest in regulation-sized solid wood seats and weather-resistant professional bags. · Pickleball: Portable pickleball nets allow for quick pop-up courts on grass or driveways. · Supersized games: Large versions of popular indoor games like Connect 4® and Jenga® enable play to be more handson and physical. · Active play: The rise of digital active play systems has moved outdoors. Systems like Nex,

for example, employ motion sensors to turn a backyard into a live-action video game. This bridges the gap for tech-savvy kids and adults who want to spend more time outdoors. · Virtual reality: In a similar vein, players can take VR gear outdoors and enjoy the same rush of virtual play while outside in the fresh air. · Modular playgrounds: All About Play says recent industry reports indicate the North American outdoor play structure market is expected to reach $850 million by 2033. Families are prioritizing one-stop play environments that include modular set-ups. Instead of single-use equipment, families are looking for systems that combine trampolines, adjustable basketball hoops and climbing frames, among other options.

ACCESSIBILITY TO FOOD AND DRINK

Beyond the bar, having selfservice stations in various spots enables guests to grab food or drink as needed instead of having to trek indoors. Make sure these spots are well-lit. Space drinks away from the food to prevent traffic jams. Invest in some covered containers that will keep food safe from ants or flying insects and trays to easily transport glassware and other items back into the house. A yard can be a magical place to entertain at night when hosts take a few extra steps to ready the space.
