Twenty-five years later, Seattle remembers
At Seattle Center, a city that once gathered in grief will gather again to honor the lives lost on Sept. 11. Twenty-five years after thousands of Seattle residents carried flowers to the International Fountain in grief, the city will return to Seattle Center this week to remember the lives lost on Sept. 11, 2001. Seattle Center will hold a free 25thanniversary remembrance ceremony at noon Friday, Sept. 11, on the South Fountain Lawn. The gathering will take place just steps from where one of Seattle’s most extraordinary spontaneous memorials unfolded in the days after the terrorist attacks. The attacks happened nearly 3,000 miles away, but their effects were felt immediately. Seattle was still waking up when the first plane struck the World Trade Center’s north tower at 5:46 a.m. Pacific time. By about 6:30 a.m., Seattle police were sending officers to the Space Needle and downtown skyscrapers. At 6:42 a.m., the sun rose over Seattle. Three minutes later, the city activated its Emergency Operations Center. The Space Needle, one of the city’s most recognizable landmarks, was evacuated and closed at about 7 a.m. Its management said there had been no specific threat, but Seattle Center security officers and police guarded the structure, vehicle entrances were blocked and crews swept the building for suspicious packages. Nothing was found. Across the city, uncertainty reshaped an otherwise ordinary Tuesday. Seattle Public Schools remained open, but Columbia Tower, Pacific Science Center, Seattle Art
Museum and numerous businesses and office buildings closed or restricted access. Air traffic stopped at Sea-Tac along with flights nationwide. For some Queen Anne and Magnolia families, the events in New York were intensely personal. In Queen Anne & Magnolia News coverage published in the aftermath of the attacks, Queen Anne resident Joyce Rice
recalled being awakened at 6:30 that morning by her son Andy, who was working in Manhattan about 30 to 40 blocks from the World Trade Center. He told her to “get on the TV.” Andy watched the towers fall before joining the streams of people trying to leave Manhattan. In an email later shared with his mother and this newspaper, he described crowded streets, long lines for pay phones
and a strange sense of connection among strangers who all knew they were experiencing the same catastrophe. Another neighborhood family narrowly escaped a far different connection to the attacks. Lynn and Bob Lucurell, who grew up in Magnolia and maintained a home on Perkins Lane, managed Adjusters International’s New York operation. The company had spent 3½ years in the World Trade Center before moving its office to Midtown Manhattan on Aug. 21, 2001 — just three weeks before the attacks. The Lucurells happened to be traveling in Chicago on Sept. 11. Back in Magnolia, Lynn’s mother, Mildred Dowling, received calls and visits from friends who still believed her daughter and son-in-law worked in the towers. One friend arrived at her home and embraced her, believing she had lost her daughter. The Lucurells soon returned to New York, where their insurance-adjusting work put them close to the enormous losses left behind. Queen Anne residents Jackie and David Brooks had their own frightening wait. Their son, Arthur Brooks, then an economics professor at Syracuse University, had taken a train into New York City that morning. His mother told this newspaper that he encountered the unfolding attacks as he entered Manhattan and eventually paid $1,000 for a

a large American flag onto the field. Players gathered around it, knelt in prayer and observed a moment of silence with the crowd. McLemore eventually took the flag and began carrying it around the bases, with his teammates following. When they reached home plate, McLemore and Cameron lifted it above their heads. That moment—part celebration, part remembrance—now stands in bronze. The actual flag from Sept. 19, 2001 is also preserved, framed and displayed in Legacy Plaza. A wall behind the sculpture holds 116 bats, matching the Mariners’ record-setting win total from 2001. Nearby, 2,269 baseballshaped medallions carry messages personalized by fans. Together, the installations generated more than $300,000 for Mariners programs supporting youth baseball and softball facilities around Washington, according to the club. At Thursday’s dedication, longtime Mariners broadcaster Rick Rizzs served as master of ceremonies, joined by Cameron, McLemore, first responders and other invited guests. Mariners Chairman and Managing Partner John Stanton connected the memorial’s past to the children who will benefit from it. “Many of the players that will play on these fields were not alive during 9/11,” Stanton said. “But they will learn about the values that our nation carries forward.” He continued: “We remember those who were lost. We honor those who served. And we celebrate the team who brought us joy.” Stanton said he hopes everyone who passes the statue will be reminded “not only of the great baseball season, but the resilience of our community and our nation.”

wenty-five years later, one of the greatest seasons in baseball history is being remembered with something more important than a win total. Last Thursday, the team unveiled Legacy Plaza at T-Mobile Park, centered around a new bronze statue of Mike Cameron and Mark McLemore holding an American flag aloft. The image captures the closing Laura moments of Marie the Mariners’ Rivera Sept. 19, 2001 game — eight days after the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11 and on the night Seattle clinched the American League West. The 2001 Mariners were extraordinary by almost any measure. They finished the regular season 116–46, tying the majorleague record for wins. Ichiro Suzuki arrived from Japan and won both American League Rookie of the Year and Most Valuable Player. Eight Mariners were selected to the All-Star team, and Seattle dominated its division. But the moment memorialized in bronze was not a home run, a strikeout or even the jubilant celebration one might expect after clinching a division title. Major League Baseball had suspended play for a week after 9/11. Seattle’s first home game after the attacks came Sept. 18 at what was then Safeco Field. The following night, during their game against the Anaheim Angels, players learned that Texas had defeated Oakland, guaranteeing the Mariners the AL West title. After Seattle completed a shutout victory, the celebration took an unexpected turn. Longtime Mariners video coordinator and Marine veteran Carl Hamilton had brought
Mariners broadcaster Rick Rizzs speaks during the Sept. 3 dedication of Legacy Plaza at T-Mobile Park, where a new statue honors the 2001 Mariners and their Sept. 19 post-9/11 flag tribute. Turning a moment into bronze Among those watching the dedication was Lou Cella, the sculptor who transformed the photograph and memories of that September night into the new monument. Cella, an artist with Rotblatt Amrany Fine Art Studio, is already familiar to Mariners fans even if they may not know his name. He has created several of the bronze figures around the ballpark, including statues honoring Dave Niehaus, Ken Griffey Jr., Edgar Martinez and Ichiro Suzuki.
For Cella, each commission begins with research. “Anything baseball, I love to do it,” he said at the dedication, describing the pleasure of “digging into the history of these events.” This project, however, carried a different weight. “This is my first 9/11 monument,” Cella said. “It’s ironic that it combines baseball.

Savvy Senior:
Medicare and Moving: What You Need to Know
By Jim Miller Dear Savvy Senior, I’m planning to move later this year to be closer to my youngest son and his family. I’ve lived in the same state for decades, so I’m a little nervous about how this might affect my Medicare coverage. Will I need to change plans or take any special steps to avoid gaps? —Relocating Rita
G
Dear Rita, reat question. A move like this is exciting, but it’s smart to think ahead about how it could affect your coverage. Whether your Medicare is impacted – and what you’ll need to do – depends on the type of plan you have. Here’s what to expect and steps to take before and after your move. ORIGINAL MEDICARE
If you’re enrolled in original Medicare (Part A and Part B), you’re in the simplest situation. Your coverage will go with you anywhere in the United States, so you won’t need to change your plan when you move. That said, you do need to update your address so you don’t miss important notices like your Medicare Summary Notice or billing statements. The easiest way to do that is online through your “my Social Security” account at ssa.gov/myaccount using the “My Profile” tab. If you don’t already have an account, you can set one up in just a few minutes. Or, you can call Social Security at 800772-1213 and have them update it for you. PART D DRUG COVERAGE
If you have original Medicare along with a stand-alone Part D drug plan, your move may require a change. Drug plans are based on where you live, so you’ll need to contact your current plan to see if it operates in your new state. If it doesn’t, you’ll need to choose a new plan that does. You’re given a special enrollment window to make this switch – starting the month before your move and lasting up to two full months afterward. If you miss that window, you may have to wait until the next
open enrollment period (Oct. 15 to Dec. 7), and you could face a late enrollment penalty if you go without qualifying drug coverage. ADVANTAGE PLANS
Medicare Advantage plans are also locationbased, so a move almost always means you’ll need to take action. Check with your plan to see if it serves your new area. If it doesn’t, you’ll need to enroll in a new Advantage plan or switch to original Medicare. Like Part D, you’ll have a special enrollment period that begins the month before you move and continues for two months after. If you move outside your plan’s service area and don’t pick a new plan, your current plan will eventually disenroll you, and you’ll be placed back into original Medicare. To compare plans available in your new location, visit medicare.gov/plan-compare, which lets you review both Advantage and Part D options side by side. MEDIGAP
If you have original Medicare and a Medigap policy, you generally won’t need to switch plans when you move. These policies are standardized nationwide, meaning a Plan G in one state offers the same basic benefits in another. Still, you should notify your insurer of your new address. And keep in mind that while your coverage stays the same, your premium might change depending on your new ZIP code. One exception to be aware of is Medicare Select, a type of Medigap plan that uses provider networks. If you have one of these (they’re not very common), you may need to switch plans when you relocate. A move doesn’t have to disrupt your Medicare, but it pays to plan ahead. Update your address, and if you have a Part D or Medicare Advantage plan, review your coverage and make any needed changes on time. Send your questions or comments to questions@savvysenior.org, or to Savvy Senior, P.O. Box 5443, Norman, OK 73070.

Behind the Curtain: An Unexpected Blessing at an Assisted-Living Community in Seattle By Robert Radford, Ph.D.
F
or the second consecutive year, my son Mark accompanied me to New York to write an article for Earshot Jazz about how local high school jazz ensembles performed in the Essentially Ellington competition at Jazz at Lincoln Center. On May 1, 2026, while climbing a flight of stairs on our way to dinner at Ci Siamo, I tripped and fell. The result was seven broken ribs, an ambulance ride, and several days in the ICU at Bellevue Hospital. At the time, I saw only misfortune. Looking back, I recognize that the accident also opened the door to an unexpected education. As soon as I was well enough to think beyond the pain, I urged my physicians to discharge me so I could return home to Seattle and continue my recovery. The accident upended our itinerary and thrust Mark into the role of primary caregiver. He postponed business commitments in Portland and accompanied me back to Seattle. When we arrived at Sea-Tac Airport, Mark continued home to Portland. Our friend John Greig met me at baggage claim, helped with my luggage, and drove me first to my condominium to drop off my luggage, and then to urgent care at Kaiser Permanente. My longtime friend Sue Graves served as my advocate at Kaiser Urgent Care and arranged a respite stay at an assisted-living community. Rob and Rachel Hankins soon joined the effort. Together, Mark, John, Sue, Rob, and Rachel formed what I came to call the “Radford Caregiver Brigade.” For years, I had driven past the assistedliving community several times a week while visiting my former neighborhood. It had never occurred to me, even at 96, that I might one day become a resident, if only
temporarily. Life has a way of placing us in classrooms we never expected to enter. Although my accident introduced me to the assisted-living community, I soon realized that I had been given a rare opportunity: to experience senior living from the inside. Most of us see only the exterior of such communities. We rarely witness the daily acts of patience, professionalism, kindness, and compassion that sustain them. During my 32-day stay, I saw activities thoughtfully designed to engage residents physically, mentally, socially, and emotionally. Exercise programs, discussions, games, celebrations, and music created moments of connection and joy. One afternoon, a former first violinist with the Seattle Symphony performed for the residents. For nearly an hour, beautiful music filled the room. Residents who moments earlier had appeared withdrawn or asleep began to respond. Fingers moved gently with the rhythm. Feet tapped softly. Faces relaxed, and smiles emerged. The music seemed to reach places deeper than memory and beyond words. What happened around the music was equally moving. Residents received medication quietly and professionally. Those needing assistance were helped with grace and dignity. Staff members moved through the room with remarkable skill, meeting each person’s needs while preserving independence whenever possible. The care was neither intrusive nor mechanical. It was deeply human. Another evening offered a different kind of lesson. I arrived at the dining room after it had closed and asked whether I might still be served. A staff member consulted the chef, who graciously prepared a delicious meal for another late-arriving resident and me.
REMEMBRANCE, FROM 1
emotional exhaustion can create tension and distance. These realities deserve honest acknowledgment. So does the importance of gratitude. A sincere thank-you, a note of appreciation, or simple recognition of another person’s effort can restore energy and strengthen relationships. No caregiver should feel invisible. Those who provide care need encouragement just as surely as those who receive it. My recovery gave me a brief but revealing glimpse into these realities. The members of my “Radford Caregiver Brigade,” along with many others, contributed their time, energy, patience, and compassion. They reminded me that caregiving is not merely an act of service. It is often an act of sacrifice. Communication, cooperation, and appreciation made our collective effort possible. Unlike many residents, I entered the community expecting that, with continued healing, I would eventually return home. That temporary status gave me an unusual vantage point: I was part resident, part student, and part observer. I arrived injured and left healthier. I also left wiser. I saw dignity preserved, loneliness eased, and joy created. I watched skilled professionals transform routine responsibilities into acts of compassion. Most of all, I came to understand that senior-living communities are not merely places where people reside. At their best, they are places where people continue to live. For 32 days, I was given the privilege of looking behind the curtain. What I found was not simply a system of care, but a community built through countless acts of compassion. For that unexpected lesson—and unexpected blessing—I remain profoundly grateful.
LEGACY, FROM 1 Battery Park City, near the World Trade Center site. The Manhattan garden had been heavily damaged by dust and debris from the attacks and had also served as part of the rescue and recovery operation. Seattle’s compost was incorporated into its garden plots, creating a physical link between the two cities. Another portion remained at Seattle Center. In 2002, the September 11 Memorial Garden was created on the west side of Fisher Pavilion using compost from the flowers left at the International Fountain. Tulips were originally planted there; over time they disappeared and were replaced by ornamental grasses and flowering perennials. The garden remains today, marked by boulders bearing inscriptions and a dedication to those killed in the attacks in New York, Washington, D.C., and Pennsylvania. Former Seattle Mayor Paul Schell later remembered the extraordinary uncertainty facing city leaders that morning. In a retrospective published by this newspaper, Schell recalled heading to the Emergency Operations Center as officials closed the airport, communicated with the military and worried not only about another possible attack but about how fear might affect Seattle’s Sikh and Muslim communities. In the days afterward, Schell joined members of those communities at the Seattle Center memorial — another image of the role the Center had taken on as the city moved from fear toward mourning. A quarter-century later, much of Seattle Center has changed. Buildings have opened and closed. The landscape surrounding the International Fountain has evolved. A generation of Seattle residents has grown up with no firsthand memory of Sept. 11 at all. But the memorial garden remains. And on Friday, 25 years to the day after the attacks, Seattle residents will once again gather beside the fountain — returning to the same place where, in the days after Sept. 11, 2001, tens of thousands of strangers came carrying flowers.

limousine ride back to Syracuse when ordinary transportation became difficult to find. In Seattle’s schools, administrators tried to preserve normalcy while helping children comprehend something few adults could yet understand. Seattle Public Schools kept classes and extracurricular activities on their regular schedules and communicated with police and emergencymanagement officials throughout the day. At McClure Middle School, the response continued later that week. Students and staff wore silver ribbons in memory of victims and rescuers. A “Messages of Hope” mural was created in the lunchroom, and classroom televisions carried the National Day of Remembrance ceremony on Sept. 14. The school also invited ideas from students, families and community members about ways to help. At Bayview Manor on Queen Anne, entrances and garages were initially locked down as a precaution. Residents later held a vigil in the chapel and organized donations to relief organizations. But Seattle Center ultimately became the neighborhood’s most visible expression of grief. Officials initially planned a three-hour memorial at the International Fountain for Saturday, Sept. 15. People did not wait. They began arriving with flowers the day before. The memorial continued through a closing ceremony on Sept. 18. More than 75,000 people came to Seattle Center, leaving more than 900,000 flowers along with cards, drawings, photographs and letters. Firefighters who participated in the planned ceremony returned to find their trucks covered in flowers. The memorial did not simply disappear when the flowers faded. Hundreds of volunteers helped remove ribbons, rubber bands, cards and other material from the blooms. Gardeners at Magnolia’s Interbay P-Patch helped chop and mix the flowers into several tons of compost. Part of that compost traveled across the country to Liberty Community Garden in
While the chef was at our table, he noticed a resident standing near the exit with her dog. Realizing that she needed assistance, he quietly offered to walk the dog himself—no fanfare and no complaint. He simply saw a need and met it with a smile. That small act told me more about the character of the community than any brochure could. Service, flexibility, compassion, and respect were not merely promises. I saw staff members practice those values in the ordinary moments of daily life. My stay also deepened my appreciation for caregivers. Whether a caregiver is a spouse, adult child, relative, friend, or professional, the role often begins with love and devotion. Yet caregiving can be physically exhausting, emotionally draining, financially costly, and socially isolating. Few people are fully prepared to become responsible for another person’s needs around the clock. A caregiver may become scheduler, cook, chauffeur, nurse, pharmacist, advocate, financial manager, and companion. Sleep is interrupted. Plans are postponed. Social lives contract. Over time, even the most devoted caregiver can become fatigued. Communication presents another challenge. Caregiving is less like a sprint than a relay race in which the baton must continually pass from one person to another. Family members, friends, neighbors, and professionals must communicate clearly if care is to be coordinated. Without that communication, tasks may be duplicated or forgotten, misunderstandings arise, and frustrations accumulate. These pressures can strain relationships among people who genuinely care for one another. Differences of opinion, unequal workloads, financial concerns, and
Mark McLemore, sculptor Lou Cella, and Mike Cameron pose beside the new Legacy Plaza statue commemorating the players’ Sept. 19, 2001 flag salute at T-Mobile Park. It’s a different kind of celebration — a remembrance, a tribute.” The sculpture rewards a closer look. Details specific to the players and the original photograph remain visible in bronze, from McLemore’s stirrups and batting gloves to Cameron’s untucked jersey. For Cameron, even that shirt carries a story. He has explained that he would untuck his jersey
after the final out as a tribute to his father, who returned from factory work with his shirttail out when the workday was finished. Cella attended the ceremony with his wife and a representative from the studio. And despite creating work for teams around the country, he left little doubt about where his loyalties fell last week. “I love the people in Seattle,” he said. “Even
though I work for other teams, I am rooting for the Mariners!” Legacy Plaza now gives fans a place to remember the numbers that made 2001 historic — especially those 116 wins. But the statue at its center preserves something statistics cannot: a night when a remarkable baseball team understood that the moment belonged to something much bigger than baseball.

The Season of Giving
I
HARVESTING GRATITUDE
Some plants, like determinate ‘San Marzano’ tomatoes, have a time limit. They give all their fruit away in one bound of largesse, and need to be harvested, enjoyed, or canned right away before they spoil. Other plants encourage generosity. Dahlias or zinnias, produce more flowers the more you cut them. If you’ve ever been given a surprise bouquet, you know the fizzy feeling it brings. Giving a bouquet, to a neighbor, friend, or your dentist’s assistant, delivers its own fizz. They don’t need to be fancy. You can use jam jars, soda cans and more as vases. Leave in the shade with a note or not, and your gift is loaded. The Growing Kindness project, which began in Washington, teaches people to grow dahlias
with the promise they will share the bouquets somehow. Some plants just produce so darn much bounty (looking at you, cucumbers and zucchinis), they force your hand. Coming at a rapid clip, you couldn’t possibly use them unless you ate nothing but zoodles, zucchini wraps, and zucchini bread. You hear a lot of tales of people leaving zucchinis in open cars in summer -called “zucchini bandits.” At the Phinney Ridge farmer’s market, they sometimes have midsummer “zucchini races” where overgrown zucchinis are sculpted, given wheels, and made into sturdy race cars. I was gifted such a zucchini last year (with permission, not installed guerilla-style in my car), that was the size of a toddler. I didn’t know whether to dress it up or try to cook it. Last year I also didn’t have to buy cucumbers for two weeks because a fellow was giving them away in a box via Buy Nothing online. His must have been an earlier variety than mine. Once my own cucumbers came in, and it was gazpacho and raita for days – and I was the one giving them away.
SEEDS OF TOMORROW
I ended up with Andre’s Cherry Fizz because the poppy seeds were gifted to him by a fellow P-Patcher, and he passed them to me. When he needs more, I have seeds to share. You can save seeds from plants that are not hybrids – seeds from those won’t come “true.” You want the plants to be fully mature and ripe. Typically, that’s when the seed wants to fall naturally, but each varies. It’s worth researching that and the harvesting tips for your plant. Tomato seeds, for example benefit from a simple fermenting process in a jar of water. Seed packets make a great stocking stuffer in December. Just sayin’.
ERICA GRIVAS
have several plants whose official names, for one reason or another, are lost. To me, however, they will always be “Andre’s Cherry Fizz Poppy”, “Paula’s Sweet Pea Mix,” and “Joan’s Crazy 7-foot Rudbeckia lacinata”. The fragrant heirloom ‘Rose de Rescht’ in my block’s traffic circle is indelibly associated Erica with Anne, Browne the neighbor Grivas who donated a cutting. The Get plants and the Growing people are as intertwined as a flat of scarlet runner beans left to long together. Yet each is richer for meeting and being influenced by the other. This is the magic of fall; it’s a giving season. Autumn is a time of immense abundance in the garden – as we see the literal fruits of the heat of June and July start to come in, not to mention the watering and pruning of the gardener.
Likewise late summer is a great time to divide many perennials. Usually, the best time is after flowering, and if you can hold them in the shade in pots until September when the rains come, they’ll love being planted in cooler weather. Many perennials require dividing to thrive. Some that are great for dividing now (if finished flowering) are bearded irises and Siberian irises (Iris germanica and Iris siberica, respectively), heuchera (Heuchera), daylilies (Hemerocallis), bee balm (Monarda) and yarrow (Achillea).
BEYOND THE HARVEST
Canning, freezing and dehydrating are obvious ways to preserve edible bounty of the garden, letting the taste of summer linger into winter. There are also other ways the
garden can live beyond the growing season. Preserve this year’s garden beauty with dried or pressed flowers that can be used in art, crafts, and arrangements, whether permanent or ephemeral, like making a floral crown for your grandchild, or a fascinator for yourself. Consider pounding the flowers into fabric to glam up organic clothing – a mordant is usually required for longevity. Try a cyanotype kit, sometimes called “sun printing” – it can be done on paper or fabric – like making a patch of your favorite flowers for your favorite overalls. Or, draw, paint or photograph the garden and let it live on in art you can relish for years to come or simply relax in the moment of doing.
