The good season is here (hopefully to stay) and we are going to be hosting a series of wine-tasting events with domestic and international winemakers who will be telling their stories and pouring their wines.
We start this week with Ramon Perera from Celler Pardas, who will be at Sebastiano’s n=Natural Wines pouring five of his wines onThursday 21st from 5-7 pm.
Next are Jim and Jenny of Fossil & Fawn, an Oregon-based natural winery. They will be pouring their wines on Saturday 23rd, from 4 pm to 7 pm.
Tastings are free of charge.
Here’s some info on the winemakers and their stories:
Ramon Parera and Jordi Anan of Celler Pardas have become longtime fixtures of Catalonia’s low-intervention wine scene. In 1996, they discovered an abandoned estate 250m above sea level in the Penedés region of Catalonia. Affected by the Spanish Civil war, the Can Comas estate was made up of 60 hectares of unkempt Mediterranean forest and pasture surrounding a run-down medieval farmhouse. They discovered a gem – an ancient cellar that had survived the dregs of war. The two painstakingly restored the cellar and the building, carefully planting new vineyards and pioneering low-intervention winemaking in their region.
Ramon and Jordi have fought to bring back ancient varieties indigenous to the area like Sumoll, Xarel.lo and Malvasia Sitges. As anyone who’s tasted Celler Pardas wine knows, their efforts have definitely paid off.
Fossil & Fawn started out as a completely reasonable idea in the late summer of 2011. Jenny and Jim began with the notion of making a small amount of wine from their family vineyard as a single-site bottling, simply because no one else had done so before. The plan was to have a nice example to show to potential buyers of the Pinot noir and Pinot gris grown there. Somewhere along the line they figured that for all the effort, they might as well make it an official wine label. Thus, Fossil & Fawn was born proper as a wine label.
Jim and Jenny aren’t too interested in bold manifestos or style declarations – their goal is to make wines they like. They’ve found that the kind of wines they like are executed with a natural approach that allows the vineyard to do the talking. That means instead of buying yeast, they culture it from the vineyard itself, with no other additives or enzymes. It also means as-little-as-necessary sulfur additions and aging all of their wines in barrels, with very little new oak.
The West Seattle Tool Library is open at Youngstown Cultural Arts Center space (east side of main building).
West Seattle Tool Library provides free, community access to a wide variety of tools, training, and sustainable resources. Utilizing a diverse collection of over 1,500 tools, our membership has successfully grown entire community orchards, built mini-greenhouses, and even just mowed their own lawns. From basic tasks to brilliant innovations, the projects accomplished by the West Seattle Tool Library’s 780+ members have made all the tools in the collection proud to be working again.

Artist bio here:
GARRISON COVERDALE
I was an Art student at Washington State University when I got hooked on ceramics.
We used a fairly traditional approach to RAKU including a traditional clay body and a very
inefficient wood-burning kiln that took hours to reach the relatively low temperature for RAKU ware.
Over the years my technique has evolved considerably. Now, my hand-built and wheel thrown work is fired in an electric kiln. I use a clay body that is more porcelain-like instead of the traditional highly grogged RAKU clay. This gives my work a purity of color and a smoothness that I desire. I have formulated a “crackle” glaze similar to Paul Soldner’s well-known recipe, that I use on the body of my pieces. The bright colors that I use as accent are low-fire commercial glazes. Because of the more fragile clay body, my work will not withstand the thermal shock of a traditional RAKU firing. I must take great care during the post-fire and each piece is placed individually in a metal container with the combustible of choice–almost exclusively newspaper.
Recently, I have “Put Paint to Pottery”. Rather than glazed, my bisque-fired spheres are
painted with acrylic paint then waxed, giving me a 360 degree “canvas”.

This is our main Easter service this year. The service begins with a bonfire outside of the building (on the gravel near the main entrance ramp), reminiscent of the bonfire around which Peter denied Jesus and the bonfire on the beach on which he was later restored by Jesus’s grace. Then, light from that fire makes its way on a large candle into the darkened church building that will soon come alight as we celebrate that “while it was still dark,” Mary Magdalene discovered Jesus had risen from the dead and defeated even death, securing for us resurrection hope in each of our own darkest nights.Sunday Sunrise Service

This is our main Easter service this year. The service begins with a bonfire outside of the building (on the gravel near the main entrance ramp), reminiscent of the bonfire around which Peter denied Jesus and the bonfire on the beach on which he was later restored by Jesus’s grace. Then, light from that fire makes its way on a large candle into the darkened church building that will soon come alight as we celebrate that “while it was still dark,” Mary Magdalene discovered Jesus had risen from the dead and defeated even death, securing for us resurrection hope in each of our own darkest nights.Sunday Sunrise Service

The good season is here (hopefully to stay) and we are going to be hosting a series of wine-tasting events with domestic and international winemakers who will be telling their stories and pouring their wines.
We start this week with Ramon Perera from Celler Pardas, who will be at Sebastiano’s Natural Wines pouring five of his wines onThursday 21st from 5-7 pm.
Next are Jim and Jenny of Fossil & Fawn, an Oregon-based natural winery. They will be pouring their wines on Saturday 23rd, from 4 pm to 7 pm.
Tastings are free of charge.
Here’s some info on the winemakers and their stories:
Ramon Parera and Jordi Anan of Celler Pardas have become longtime fixtures of Catalonia’s low-intervention wine scene. In 1996, they discovered an abandoned estate 250m above sea level in the Penedés region of Catalonia. Affected by the Spanish Civil war, the Can Comas estate was made up of 60 hectares of unkempt Mediterranean forest and pasture surrounding a run-down medieval farmhouse. They discovered a gem – an ancient cellar that had survived the dregs of war. The two painstakingly restored the cellar and the building, carefully planting new vineyards and pioneering low-intervention winemaking in their region.
Ramon and Jordi have fought to bring back ancient varieties indigenous to the area like Sumoll, Xarel.lo and Malvasia Sitges. As anyone who’s tasted Celler Pardas wine knows, their efforts have definitely paid off.
Fossil & Fawn started out as a completely reasonable idea in the late summer of 2011. Jenny and Jim began with the notion of making a small amount of wine from their family vineyard as a single-site bottling, simply because no one else had done so before. The plan was to have a nice example to show to potential buyers of the Pinot noir and Pinot gris grown there. Somewhere along the line they figured that for all the effort, they might as well make it an official wine label. Thus, Fossil & Fawn was born proper as a wine label.
Jim and Jenny aren’t too interested in bold manifestos or style declarations – their goal is to make wines they like. They’ve found that the kind of wines they like are executed with a natural approach that allows the vineyard to do the talking. That means instead of buying yeast, they culture it from the vineyard itself, with no other additives or enzymes. It also means as-little-as-necessary sulfur additions and aging all of their wines in barrels, with very little new oak.
Wip & Sip: A Paint & Sip event
Date: Saturday, March 23rd, 2024Time: 06:00 PM – 09:00 PM
A paint & sip event led by local artist Christopher Coleman. The ticket price includes all painting materials a take-home canvas, (2) beverage tickets, and snacks. Ages 21+

Saturday All-ages Open Mic 7 to 10 pm
The alternative rock band The Flying Waves has an upcoming concert at Skylark next March 23rd. We will be playing with Crash Site and Drama Club. Our band is ready to ignite the stage!
About The Flying Waves
The Flying Waves is an alternative indie pop band hailing from the vibrant music scene of Seattle. Drawing inspiration from the Britpop movement and iconic British bands of the 1960s, their sound is a delightful blend of nostalgia and modern indie vibes.
EP: “Rainbow”
The Flying Waves’ debut EP, “Rainbow” (September 2023), captures the essence of their musical journey. With dreamy melodies, catchy hooks, and introspective lyrics, the EP invites listeners into their sonic universe. Tracks like “Rainbow” or “It’s True” evoke emotions that linger long after the music fades.

This is our main Easter service this year. The service begins with a bonfire outside of the building (on the gravel near the main entrance ramp), reminiscent of the bonfire around which Peter denied Jesus and the bonfire on the beach on which he was later restored by Jesus’s grace. Then, light from that fire makes its way on a large candle into the darkened church building that will soon come alight as we celebrate that “while it was still dark,” Mary Magdalene discovered Jesus had risen from the dead and defeated even death, securing for us resurrection hope in each of our own darkest nights.Sunday Sunrise Service

F3, a free national men’s workout group:
We have a local workout location that meets at Hiawatha park on Tuesday mornings at 5:30 am sharp. The group has been around for a few years, so many folks that are up early might have come across us before doing burpees or pushups and counting out loud. We’d love to extend the invite to men of any fitness level – we work out as a group and don’t leave anyone behind, come as you are and hopefully leave a bit better.
The workout is 45 minutes long and then we all get coffee at West Seattle Grounds. You don’t need to bring anything special, just wear comfortable athletic clothes appropriate for the weather and some sneakers. Some work or gardening gloves can be helpful if you have a pair. Just don’t be late or the whole group is doing penalty burpees.
Our church will be reopening PlaySpace going forward. We have not been open since everything shut down with Covid. Essentially we are inviting Moms, Dads, caregivers to come on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9 am-12 pm to bring their little ones, and to have a place to play and connect with others in the cold and rainy seasons. Its free to anyone and everyone. Just hoping the space can be a gift to the neighborhood. One change for now is we will be opening the sanctuary up as the play area as we are still trying to rebuild and repair things from the fire last spring.

Then, light from that fire makes its way on a large candle into the darkened church building that will soon come alight as we celebrate that “while it was still dark,” Mary Magdalene discovered Jesus had risen from the dead and defeated even death, securing for us resurrection hope in each of our own darkest nights.Sunday Sunrise Service

Next HPAC Meeting Wed., March 27, Zoom drop-in from 7-8 pm
With spring starting to roll in in earnest, HPAC has a light meeting agenda this week. We won’t have any speakers or presentations, just a Zoom “Open House” for folks to drop in and say “Hi”, maybe bring up concerns or things to share. You’ll find the meeting link below. (We have an upcoming in-person meeting with Councilperson Saka shortly, and will be happy to bring up what we hear from you with him.)
We also have a couple of opportunities to announce:
First of note, the HUB located in South Delridge is looking for neighborhood residents to volunteer at the site – on the Salvation Army property at 16th SW & SW Henderson.
Email HPAChair and we’ll pass you along to the HUB organizers. If you don’t know about the neighborhood HUB project, check here for more information. Basically, it is a pre-planned site to gather with communication protocols in place to assist in the event of a large earthquake or other infrastructure disruption. Once you have been oriented and been to a practice session or two, it requires little volunteer time, plus you can gain useful knowledge to protect your home and family in the event of a disaster.
We are also interested in connecting with anyone who worked on the Delridge Triangle Park planning, which happened in 2017-18, or lives near the site at 18th SW & SW Delridge. Seattle Parks Department is looking to improve open space opportunities for South Delridge and wants to hear from you in support of expanding this open space for the area.
Meanwhile your HPAC eBoard is working hard on issues to bring up at future meetings – watch for updates on the Stay Healthy Street(s) in our area, planning for bicycle improvements on Highland Park Way, and future updates from Metro on the 125/128 line service improvements. We hope to be in-person for our April meeting, until then we’ll see you online:
HPAC Coalition is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting.

This is our main Easter service this year. The service begins with a bonfire outside of the building (on the gravel near the main entrance ramp), reminiscent of the bonfire around which Peter denied Jesus and the bonfire on the beach on which he was later restored by Jesus’s grace. Then, light from that fire makes its way on a large candle into the darkened church building that will soon come alight as we celebrate that “while it was still dark,” Mary Magdalene discovered Jesus had risen from the dead and defeated even death, securing for us resurrection hope in each of our own darkest nights.Sunday Sunrise Service
