Seattle Says Slower Streets Are Safer. Seattle Drivers Didn’t Get the Memo. Schools Wilson’s new Vision Zero order promises safer streets, more cameras and Face Strike Mayor better coordination. But lowering the number on a sign and actually slowing traffic are two very different things. Deadline as Contract Talks Reach M Final Days Staff Report

he first day of school remains uncertain for Seattle Public Schools students as the district and Seattle Education Association enter the final days of contract negotiations. SEA members voted 91% to authorize a strike beginning Sept. 2 if a tentative agreement is not reached. The vote does not make a work stoppage inevitable: if the two sides reach an agreement before the deadline, educators would return and school could begin as scheduled. Negotiations became increasingly contentious over the weekend. SEA said Saturday that SPS walked away from the bargaining table after progress on smaller issues, while major disagreements

Superintendent Ben Shuldiner said the district instead sought assistance from a state mediator after concluding SEA’s latest counterproposal moved the parties farther apart. At issue is considerably more than pay. SEA is seeking enforceable class-size limits that would eventually require additional staffing or reduced enrollment rather than relying solely on extra compensation for oversized classes. The union also wants caseload protections for specialists, protected educator planning time and additional training for paraprofessionals and office professionals. Special education remains a major point of contention. SEA is seeking staffing and scheduling protections as SPS moves toward more inclusive classrooms, including collaboration time for coteachers and safeguards intended to ensure students with disabilities have access to appropriately trained staff. SEA says the district has not moved sufficiently on its special-education proposal. Compensation remains another divide.

SEA, 5

ayor Wilson has issued a new executive order aimed at accelerating Seattle’s Vision Zero efforts, nearly 11 years after the city committed to eliminating traffic deaths and serious injuries by 2030. The order contains a little bit of everything: protected bike lanes, pedestrian head-start signals, better street lighting, intersection improvements, automated traffic cameras, safer city vehicles, an updated Vision Zero Action Plan, a new online dashboard and, because this is Seattle, an interdepartmental team to coordinate it all. Apparently, the missing ingredient in traffic safety may have been more meetings. Sarcasm aside, Seattle has a very real problem. Thirty people were killed and 221 were seriously injured in traffic collisions on Seattle streets in 2025, according to the mayor’s executive order. The order also says 93 percent of pedestrian fatalities occur on arterial streets, and that 80 percent of pedestrian fatalities occur on multilane arterials. Those numbers deserve something more substantial than another campaign telling everyone to please drive nicely. And, to Wilson’s credit, parts of the new order may provide exactly that. SDOT is being directed to accelerate safety upgrades at 19 high-collision locations, add pedestrian head-start signals at 40 intersections, improve visibility at intersections and move forward projects along notoriously dangerous corridors including Aurora Avenue North and Rainier Avenue South. Then there is Seattle’s old favorite: speed. Seattle lowered its default speed limits in 2016, dropping neighborhood streets from 25 to 20 mph and arterials from 30 to 25 mph unless otherwise posted. The logic is simple and scientifically sound: if a vehicle hits someone at a lower speed, the consequences are generally less severe. There is, however, an important step between posting a lower speed limit and getting people to actually drive slower. Seattle drivers may already be familiar with this distinction. Try driving exactly 25 mph down an arterial that still looks and feels perfectly comfortable at 30 or 35. Before long, there is a decent chance someone behind you will begin conducting a detailed inspection of your rear bumper. Then comes the impatient lane change, the burst of acceleration and the triumphant pass — frequently culminating in both vehicles meeting again at the same red light. Congratulations. You won Seattle traffic. It is tempting to dismiss that behavior as simply another driver breaking the law. Legally, that’s exactly what it is. From a traffic-engineering standpoint, however, there is a more interesting question: What happens when the speed a street communicates to drivers doesn’t match the speed printed on the sign? A 2018 peer-reviewed study examining roads in Montana found that drivers complied less with speed limits as the difference grew between the posted limit and the speed engineers would otherwise recommend. Roads posted 5 mph below the engineering recommendation saw safety benefits. But at locations posted 10 mph below the recommended limit, researchers found fewer

That study involved rural Montana roads, not downtown Seattle, so it would be irresponsible to declare that it proves Seattle’s 25 mph limits are making our streets more dangerous. It does demonstrate something considerably less dramatic, but important: Lower is not automatically better simply because the sign says so. Seattle’s own research provides an important counterpoint. A 2024 study published in the Journal of Safety Research found that Seattle’s speed-limit reductions were associated with a statistically significant 17.2 percent reduction in the odds of an injury collision in downtown Seattle, including a 19.9 percent reduction on downtown arterials. Outside downtown, researchers estimated smaller reductions, but those results were not statistically significant.

Lower is not automatically better simply because the sign says so. So no, the evidence does not support ripping down every 25 mph sign and returning Seattle to the Autobahn. But it also doesn’t establish that every street becomes safer simply by making its posted speed lower. That distinction becomes even more important when Seattle moves from changing signs to physically redesigning streets. 15th Avenue W in Interbay offers a useful example closer to home. The corridor feels and functions more like a highway than a neighborhood street, yet Seattle has moved to treat portions of it as a 30 mph zone. That raises a basic question: when a roadway is designed to carry substantial volumes of regional traffic, does simply lowering the posted speed limit make it safer — or does it create the same mismatch between the street’s physical design and the number on the sign? Those changes may slow traffic. They may also improve conditions for pedestrians, cyclists and transit riders. But that does not mean every design decision made in the

name of slowing traffic should be automatically presumed safer. Traffic safety is a system. Changing one part of that system can affect another. A median that protects a pedestrian crossing may have enormous safety value even if it inconveniences drivers. A bus lane may move far more people efficiently while reducing space available to cars. A narrower roadway may reduce dangerous speeds while creating operational challenges elsewhere. Those may be worthwhile tradeoffs. But they are still tradeoffs, and pretending otherwise doesn’t make streets safer. The same principle applies to Wilson’s proposed expansion of automated traffic-safety cameras. Cameras may discourage speeding and may be particularly valuable at locations with persistent dangerous driving. A camera is an enforcement tool, not street design. And street design itself is not automatically good simply because it makes driving slower or more difficult. That is where Seattle’s Vision Zero conversation could use considerably more nuance. The goal should not be to make cars travel as slowly as physically possible. It should not be to make driving inconvenient enough that motorists eventually surrender. And it should not be to measure success by the number of cameras installed, lanes narrowed, medians constructed or plans published. The goal is supposed to be fewer people killed and seriously injured. That means asking whether each intervention actually accomplishes that goal — and whether it creates new hazards while eliminating old ones. Seattle has spent more than a decade pursuing Vision Zero. Wilson’s executive order contains worthwhile ideas, particularly improvements to lighting, pedestrian visibility and known high-collision locations. But after more than a decade, the city should be willing to ask harder questions about what has worked, what hasn’t and what unintended consequences its safety projects may create. A sign saying 25 mph isn’t proof that a street is safe. Neither is a speed camera. And neither is a concrete median. Safety should be measured by what happens on the street, not by how many things Seattle has installed to make the street look safer.

Savvy Senior:

Flu Shots for Seniors: What’s New This Fall

Dear Savvy Senior, I always get my annual flu shot, but I never know whether I’m getting the right one. Can you explain which flu vaccine is best for seniors this fall and whether there are any other recommended vaccines I should get? —Trying to Stay Healthy

I

Dear Trying, f you’re 65 or older, getting your annual flu shot is one of the most important things you can do to protect yourself during flu season. But with new vaccines and changing recommendations, many older adults aren’t sure which shots they need. The good news is that this fall’s advice for seniors is simple: Get an enhanced flu vaccine, and use the opportunity to make sure you are up to date on other important vaccines, including RSV, pneumonia, shingles and, depending on your health situation, COVID-19. BEST FLU SHOT FOR SENIORS

Influenza can be especially dangerous for older adults. As we age, our immune systems don’t respond as well to infection, which is why people 65 and older account for most flu-related hospitalizations and deaths. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends that adults 65 and older receive one of three enhanced flu vaccines instead of a standard-dose shot: Fluzone HighDose, Fluad or Flublok. Each of these vaccines is designed differently, but all produce a stronger immune response in older adults. Studies have not shown that one works better than the others, so there’s no need to wait for a specific brand. The important thing is to get one of these enhanced vaccines when it’s available. Also new for the 2026-27 flu season is Moderna’s mFLUSIVA, the first mRNA flu vaccine authorized in the United States. It is fully approved for adults ages 50 to 64 and has received accelerated approval for those 65 and older, pending additional study results. While mRNA technology could eventually allow flu vaccines to be updated more quickly to match circulating strains, adults 65 and older should continue to follow CDC recommendations and choose one of the three enhanced flu vaccines whenever possible.

The best time to get your flu shot is September or October, but it’s not too late if you miss that window. Even a flu shot in November or later can still provide valuable protection. Medicare Part B covers one flu shot each flu season at no cost when it’s given by a Medicare-participating doctor, clinic or pharmacy. OTHER VACCINES

While you’re getting your flu shot, it’s also a good time to review your other vaccinations with your healthcare provider or pharmacist. The CDC recommends a one-time RSV vaccine for everyone age 75 and older, as well as adults ages 50 through 74 who are at increased risk for severe RSV illness. Medicare Part D covers RSV vaccines. Adults age 50 and older who have not received a pneumococcal vaccine should also consider getting protected against serious forms of pneumonia. The preferred options are Prevnar 20 (PCV20) or Capvaxive (PCV21). Most people need only one dose, and Medicare Part B covers these vaccines. If you have not received the Shingrix shingles vaccine, it is another important vaccine to consider. The two-dose vaccine is more than 90 percent effective at preventing shingles and the painful nerve problems that can follow. Medicare Part D covers both doses. COVID-19 recommendations have become more individualized in recent years, but older adults remain at higher risk for serious illness. Talk with your healthcare provider about whether an updated COVID vaccine is appropriate for you. Medicare Part B covers COVID vaccines. VACCINE TIMING

Flu, RSV, COVID-19 and other recommended vaccines can generally be given during the same visit. But if you’re concerned about temporary side effects such as fatigue, muscle aches or a sore arm, ask your healthcare provider or pharmacist about spacing them out. To find pharmacies and other providers offering vaccines near you, visit vaccines.gov. Send your questions or comments to questions@savvysenior.org, or to Savvy Senior, P.O.

Understanding the Aging Journey A series of articles designed to help older adults and their families navigate life’s next chapter. By Renato Alesiani Task Force General Manager – Aegis Living Queen Anne Galer

hallucinations, sleep disturbances, and symptoms similar to Parkinson’s disease, such as stiffness and slowed movements.

CHAPTER 4: UNDERSTANDING DEMENTIA: RECOGNIZING THE SIGNS AND PROTECTING THE PEOPLE WE LOVE

Frontotemporal Dementia (FTD) Frontotemporal dementia primarily affects the frontal and temporal lobes of the brain, which control personality, behavior, language, and decision-making. Unlike Alzheimer’s, memory may remain relatively intact in the early stages, while changes in behavior, social judgment, or speech are often the first noticeable symptoms. With the exception of vascular dementia, which in many cases can be slowed or prevented from worsening through proper management of the underlying vascular disease, and whose symptoms may sometimes improve after treatment or rehabilitation, the other common forms of dementia are progressive, incurable, and ultimately fatal diseases.

lzheimer’s disease—and dementia in general—is one of the most difficult subjects for families to discuss. It is often surrounded by fear, uncertainty, and, in many cases, silence. Accepting that someone we love is changing can be emotionally overwhelming, and it is natural to hope that the signs are simply part of getting older. Many years ago, a respected psychiatrist who cared for several residents in one of the communities I managed shared something that has stayed with me ever since. Speaking about the challenge of helping families accept a diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease, he said, “The first response to Alzheimer’s is often denial.” At the time, I understood his words professionally. Today, I understand them personally. A few years ago, my own mother was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease. Like so many families, ours experienced the uncertainty, the difficult conversations, and the emotional journey that comes with watching someone you love gradually change. That experience gave me an even deeper appreciation for the challenges faced every day by individuals living with dementia and by the families who care for them. I am writing this article to help families better understand Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia, recognize the difference between normal age-related forgetfulness and the warning signs of cognitive decline, and appreciate why early recognition is so important. My hope is that knowledge will replace fear, encourage meaningful conversations, and help families seek support before a crisis occurs. There is a lot if misinformation regarding Dementia. In this article, I will address some common misconception and provide additional information about dementia, Alzheimer’s and other related diseases. First and foremost, it is important to understand that while it affects the older population, Dementia is not a normal part of aging. Also, Dementia is not a disease itself, but an umbrella term for a group of conditions that affect memory, thinking, and the ability to perform everyday activities. Alzheimer’s disease is the most common type of dementia.

The most common types of Dementia are: Alzheimer’s disease (60–80% of all dementia cases) The most common form of dementia, Alzheimer’s gradually damages brain cells responsible for memory, thinking, and behavior. Early symptoms usually include difficulty remembering recent events, followed by increasing problems with communication, judgment, and daily activities. Vascular Dementia Vascular dementia is caused by reduced blood flow to the brain, often following a stroke or a series of small, sometimes unnoticed strokes. Symptoms may appear suddenly or progress gradually and often include difficulties with planning, decision-making, concentration, and problem-solving. Lewy Body Dementia This type of dementia is caused by abnormal protein deposits, called Lewy bodies, in the brain. People often experience fluctuating alertness, vivid visual

This is a really hard fact to come to term with, so I believe it is very important to distinguish normal aging versus dementia, and to know the difference. Here is a popular side by side comparison: Normal Aging

Possible Dementia

Occasionally forgets names Misplaces keys

Needs reminders

Occasionally makes poor decisions Sometimes forgets why they entered a room

Forgets names of close family members Cannot retrace steps to find them Cannot manage appointments even with reminders Consistently shows poor judgment Gets lost in familiar places

The key difference is that normal aging causes occasional forgetfulness, while dementia interferes with daily life and independence. Here’s a simple example. You go to the grocery store because you need milk. You buy several other items, head home, and then realize you forgot the milk. That’s normal forgetfulness. It can happen to anyone and is often related to aging, stress, being distracted, or simply having too much on your mind. Now imagine you go to the store to buy milk, come home with a bag of groceries, and have no memory of having gone to the store at all. That’s different. Forgetting the milk is one thing; forgetting the entire experience is a warning sign that deserves medical attention and could be an early indication of dementia. The Signs We Often Explain Away Alzheimer’s disease rarely begins with a dramatic event. More often, it starts with small changes that families dismiss as “just getting older.” Maybe Mom asks the same question several times in one afternoon, or Dad gets lost driving to a place he’s known for years. A loved one who always managed the household bills suddenly struggles with simple finances. They may stop participating in hobbies they once loved, have trouble finding the right words, or begin misplacing things without being able to retrace their steps. Sometimes the biggest changes aren’t in memory at all. A normally patient person may become irritable or suspicious, or someone who was always careful may begin making poor decisions or become vulnerable to scams. Any one of these changes may not be cause for concern. But when they become frequent and begin interfering with daily life, it’s time to talk with a physician. Recognizing the signs early can make all the difference in preserving independence, ensuring safety, and helping families plan for the future.

Stay Home, Watch These

I

’m not sure if everyone feels this way, but as much as I love going to the theater to watch new movies, my social battery is sometimes completely exhausted by the time Friday rolls around. My heart wants to spend a few hours in a room full of strangers, but my spirit just wants to be left the hell alone. While scrolling through streaming services is nowhere near as satisfying as hunting for gems on the shelves of a local video store, plenty of great options have still managed to slip under the radar. With that said, if you don’t feel like heading to the theater this weekend, here are a few movies and shows that are well worth your time.

If you want even more variety, here are some more options for your at-home viewing time. “Exit 8:” This psychological mind game follows a man playing a dangerous round of “Spot the Difference” as he tries to escape an endlessly repeating subway corridor. “The Boroughs:” Think “Stranger Things” set in a creepy, idyllic retirement community. With a stellar ensemble cast featuring Alfred Molina, Geena Davis, Alfre Woodard, Clarke Peters, Bill Pullman and the great Denis O’Hare, it’s unmissable. “The Dink”: This surprisingly heartfelt sports comedy about pickleball genuinely made me laugh until I sneezed. “Stuart Fails to Save the Universe”: A new sci-fi comedy series follows the comic book store guy from “The Big Bang Theory.” He finds himself jumping between dimensions with his friends to try and fix an apocalypse brought about by Sheldon and Leonard. That sounds like something I made up, but it’s actually a big-budget series currently airing on HBO.

“Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie:” Based on the Canadian comedy duo’s television series from a few years back, you need zero prior knowledge of Nirvanna the Band (not to be confused with Nirvana, the grunge band) to be blown away by the film’s audacious brilliance. Imagine if “Flight of the Conchords” remade “Back to the Future II,” but with hidden cameras, improvisation, utter fearlessness and a distinctly Canadian politeness. That puts you in the ballpark of this singular, jaw-dropping comedy. As soon as the credits roll, you’ll immediately want to find out how they made it and whether anyone was arrested during the filming. Watch this one with a big room full of friends, if you still have some social battery left in reserve. Now streaming on Hulu and Disney+

APPLE TV

“The Last Stop in Yuma County:” From first-time filmmaker Francis Galluppi comes this sun-drenched Neo-noir revisionist western. The story focuses on a group of stranded travelers who are stuck at a diner and gas station while awaiting a long-overdue fuel truck. As tensions rise between a pair of bank robbers, a kind waitress, an awkward knife salesman, an elderly couple and several other disparate (and desperate) folks, the film becomes a masterclass in escalating intensity. Galluppi is a remarkably assured filmmaker, and the performances are perfectly calibrated -- especially from the always-wonderful Jim Cummings and Jocelin Donahue. Discovering “The Last Stop in Yuma County” feels like the first time you stumbled upon the Coen Brothers’ “Blood Simple” or found Tarantino’s “Reservoir Dogs” by accident. It’s a real treat for

anyone who loves a grimy little crime thriller with a pitch-black sense of humor. Francis Galluppis The Last Stop in Yuma County is now streaming on Paramount Plus

NOEN

By Jared Rasic

Regardless of what you decide to watch or not watch, sometimes we just need to stay home and clear the cobwebs of our poor, exhausted brains. I hope these viewing choices help.

“Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed:” Tatiana Maslany has been one of the most nuanced and fearless actresses since she broke onto the scene playing a dozen or so multifaceted clones in “Orphan Black.” Still, she hasn’t quite exploded into the mainstream stardom she deserves, even after subsequently starring in Marvel’s “She-Hulk” series. I’m hoping “Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed” changes that. Maslany is absolutely incredible once again, conveying every stage of human emotion with an effortlessness that is a wonder to behold. She plays Paula, a divorced fact checker who gets entangled in an online relationship with a grifting camboy. When he blackmails her right before turning up dead, she is pulled into a massive, Hitchcockian conspiracy that unravels her entire life in unpredictable, intense and hilarious ways. Tonally, there is nothing else like this on television. While “Widow’s Bay” is deservedly drawing most of the publicity for new Apple TV programming, “Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed” deserves just as much of that love, too. All 10 episodes of the first season are now streaming on Apple TV

Movie Mayhem Loaded Wedges

Movie Mayhem Ice Cream

rispy potato wedges piled with melty cheese and classic movie-night toppings make an easy snack for a night on the couch. Customize them with your favorite nacho toppings-or just use whatever is already in the fridge.

his no-churn ice cream is built for the person who cannot decide between popcorn, candy and something chocolatey at the concession stand. It is salty, sweet, a little chaotic and very much meant for a midnight movie.

C

INGREDIENTS

• 1 lb. frozen seasoned potato wedges • ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese • ¼ cup cooked bacon pieces • ¼ cup sliced pickled jalapeños • 2 green onions, sliced • ¼ cup sour cream • ¼ cup salsa • Nacho cheese sauce, optional

DIRECTIONS

Cook potato wedges in an air fryer according to package directions, until hot and crispy. Transfer the wedges to an air-fryer-safe pan or arrange them in a pile in the basket. Sprinkle with cheddar and bacon. Air fry at 375°F for 1 to 2 minutes, just until the cheese melts. Top with jalapeños and green onions. Drizzle with sour cream and nacho cheese, if using, and serve with salsa for dipping. Tip: Make it your own with diced tomatoes, leftover taco meat, black olives or your favorite hot sauce.

T

INGREDIENTS

For the ice cream base • 2 cups heavy whipping cream • 1 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract • 3 cups freshly popped buttered popcorn • ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt For the mix-ins • ½ cup caramel corn, lightly crushed • ⅓ cup chocolate-covered peanut candies • ⅓ cup chopped chocolate-covered caramels • ¼ cup mini chocolate chips • ¼ cup salted caramel sauce, plus more for serving • 2 tablespoons hot fudge sauce, optional

DIRECTIONS

Place the buttered popcorn in a bowl and pour the heavy cream over it. Press the popcorn down so it is mostly submerged. Let it steep for 20 to 30 minutes, then strain the cream through a fine mesh strainer, pressing gently to capture the popcorn flavor. Discard the soggy popcorn. Chill the popcorn-infused cream for at least 30 minutes. Once cold, whip the cream in a large bowl until soft peaks form. In a separate bowl, stir together the sweetened condensed milk, vanilla and sea salt. Fold in the whipped popcorn cream until smooth and fluffy. Spoon one-third of the mixture into a loaf pan. Drizzle with caramel sauce and a little hot fudge, then sprinkle with caramel corn,

chocolate peanut candies, chopped chocolate caramels and chocolate chips. Repeat the layers, ending with a final drizzle and a few pieces of candy and caramel corn on top. Cover and freeze for at least six hours, or overnight, until firm. Let the ice cream sit at room temperature for 5 to 10 minutes before scooping. Serve in bowls or cones with extra caramel sauce and a handful of popcorn on top. Tip: For the best texture, add the caramel corn mostly as a topping or in the upper layers. Popcorn inside ice cream softens over time, but caramel corn holds its crunch a little longer.

WHY IT WORKS

The steeped popcorn cream gives the ice cream a buttery theater flavor without leaving chewy popcorn pieces throughout the base. Caramel brings the classic concessionstand sweetness, while chocolate-covered peanuts and candy pieces add the “I bought too many snacks before the trailers” energy.

Occidental Fine Arts Center: A Home for Beautiful Things

I

n a Pioneer Square building, century-old machines come back to life while a new generation of painters works above— each part of a larger idea about craftsmanship, beauty and what art can give to a city. Walk into the Occidental Fine Arts Center and you may hear it before you see it: Laura music comMarie ing from a Rivera machine with nobody at the keys, housed in a carved wooden cabinet built more than a century ago. It is part of Beautiful Things, a collection of hundreds of objects dating roughly from 1850 to 1950: automata that move, music machines that still play, stereoscopes that turn photographs three-dimensional, and objects designed to be as beautiful as they were functional. “Some people call them antiques,” founder Andrew Conru said, “but that word makes you picture a roped-off room and somebody telling you not to touch anything. These were the hottest technology of their day, and they were built to be gorgeous on purpose.” That combination—technical skill, usefulness and beauty—runs throughout the threestory Occidental Fine Arts Center. The first floor is a gallery and gathering space, available for exhibitions, arts groups and community programming. The second houses Beautiful Things, a collection of technology from days gone by. On the third, seven accomplished artists are finishing a year spent making new work. One of Conru’s favorite introductions to Beautiful Things is a stereoscope. “Do you want to see a 3D VR headset from 125 years ago?” he asks. Look through it and a flat photograph suddenly has depth. The comparison makes the past feel surprisingly current. People a century ago were fascinated by technology, entertainment and novelty too. They wanted to be amazed. Beautiful Things is designed to let visitors experience that sense of discovery. Staff demonstrate machines and explain how they work, while short videos allow some objects to tell their own histories in the first person. The result feels less like a room preserving dead technology than one waking it back up. It also makes a quiet argument about craftsmanship. Many of these machines were engineered to perform a job, but they were also made from beautiful materials, ornamented and designed to last. More than a century later, some still do exactly what their makers intended. Then go upstairs where there are beautiful things still being made. The third floor is dedicated to fellows in the Seattle Prize, the Conru Art Foundation’s artist residency program. Seven painters were chosen for the inaugural class through an international open call. The artists arrived already highly skilled and trained, but at a point in their careers when a year devoted to making ambitious work could substantially expand what was possible.

The invitation was straightforward and ambitious: come to Seattle and make the most ambitious work of your career so far— work created with serious technical skill, intended for the public good, and capable of speaking to a broad audience. Each fellow received a salary, a place to live, dedicated studio space, and a year to paint. The inaugural fellows are completing their residencies now, with a new cohort coming to Seattle in October. Painter Jackson Wrede, originally from Chicago, moved to Seattle with his wife just one month after they married. “The building itself is like a dream scenario for an artist,” Wrede said. “It is a beautiful, inspiring place to wake up and go paint.” The historic Pioneer Square building retains its original brick and character, but the studios have been updated with modern amenities and skylights providing the natural light painters need. Each artist has dedicated working space, alongside shared areas that encourage conversation. For Wrede, that community may be as important as the physical studio. “The best part about the space is that there are six other talented artists always there, providing feedback,” he said. There is also a natural connection between what is happening on the second and third floors. Downstairs are objects from an era of craftsmanship, intentional design and beauty. Upstairs are painters working in classical realism—a tradition requiring demanding technical skills in drawing, composition, light, form and narrative—but creating work for a contemporary audience. Wrede sees that connection in Conru’s broader philosophy. “Andrew lives his values of beauty, truth and love,” Wrede said. “His mission is to shine a light on that—to use painting to restore the values that he thinks society could use in this era of digital isolation.” When the first Seattle Prize fellows arrived, Wrede recalled, the second f loor was still being developed. Then the Beautiful Things collection was installed and opened alongside a midyear exhibition of the fellows’ work. “It’s a cool exhibition to see two things at once,” he said. That may also be the best way to understand the building itself. The first floor invites people to gather around art. The second brings remarkable objects from the past back to life. The third gives contemporary artists the time and space to make what may become the beautiful things of the future.

AGING JOURNEY, FROM 3

SEA, FROM 1

The safety of your loved one, and of everyone around them, must always come first. In my experience, I have seen many families recognize the signs of dementia but avoid difficult conversations to prevent conflict. One of the most common examples is allowing a loved one to continue to live alone, or to continue driving when it is no longer safe. I understand how painful it is to take away someone’s independence, but the consequences of waiting can be devastating. These conversations are never easy, but protecting your loved one is one of the greatest acts of love you can show.

SPS says its current proposal guarantees increases of 2.6%, 3.6% and 2.6% over three years - approximately 8.8% compounded - without furlough days. SEA is seeking additional increases beyond state-funded cost-of-living adjustments, with particular emphasis on improving wages for lower-paid paraprofessionals and office professionals. The union has also proposed district contributions toward employees’ out-of-pocket health-care costs and additional paid training days. Both sides maintain they want students in classrooms. SEA says its bargaining team remains prepared to negotiate and that a strike can be avoided with a tentative agreement. Shuldiner has said SPS is willing to meet with a mediator “morning, noon, and night” but must reach a contract the financially strained district can sustain. Grades 1–12 are scheduled to begin Wednesday, Sept. 2, with preschool and kindergarten beginning Sept. 8. Seattle’s last educator strike, in 2022, delayed the beginning of school by five days. As of Monday morning, no tentative agreement had been announced - leaving families waiting to learn whether Wednesday will bring the first day of school or the first day of a strike.

What Should You Do If You Suspect a Loved One Has Dementia? Act early, and don’t wait for the symptoms to become impossible to ignore. While there is currently no cure for most forms of dementia, early diagnosis, proper medical care, and family support can make a tremendous difference in quality of life. Start by seeking medical advice to obtain an accurate diagnosis. Today, there are medications that may help slow the progression of some forms of dementia, and they are generally most effective when starting early. An early diagnosis also gives you time to make important decisions, protect the safety of your loved ones and those around them, and explore the care and support options available before a crisis occurs. Remember, dementia does not only affect the person living with the disease, it affects the entire family. While you cannot change the diagnosis, you can change the journey. Knowledge, preparation, and timely action can preserve dignity, improve quality of life, and give your loved one the best possible care for as long as possible. The earlier you act, the more choices you have. And when it comes to dementia, preserving safety, dignity, and quality of life is one of the greatest gifts you can give someone you love.

Washington State Fair September 4-27

WASHINGTON STATE FAIR

One of Washington’s biggest annual traditions returns with carnival rides, midway games, livestock barns, competitions, shopping and an impressive amount of food served on sticks. Wander through animal exhibits, watch 4-H and agricultural competitions, browse hobby and craft displays or head for the midway for thrill rides and classic carnival attractions. Rodeo, major concerts and other grandstand entertainment add to the packed daily schedule, while longtime favorites such as scones make the fair as much about eating as entertainment. The fair is closed Tuesdays and Wednesday, Sept. 9.
