Mioposto is looking forward to Pride Month and celebrating LGBTQIA+ friends, family, and community.
Throughout June, the restaurant is serving up The Sylvia River-ita as their annual Pride cocktail, with 50% of proceeds going to Lambert House, an incredible organization that provides a vital safe haven for LGBTQIA+ youth in Seattle year-round.
Last year, Mioposto raised over $1,500 and they hope to raise even more this June. This year’s drink is The Sylvia River-ita, a bold, mango-jalapeño margarita with a Tajín rim, named in honor of Sylvia Rivera, a radical trans and gay rights activist, community organizer, and a key figure of the Stonewall riots of 1969.
“We were determined that evening that we were going to be a liberated, free community… I will struggle ‘til the day I die and my community will seek the rights that are justly ours.” – Sylvia Rivera
Located in the Capitol Hill neighborhood, Lambert House is a critical resource to safeguard and uplift LGBTQIA+ youth.
Stop by any Mioposto location in Mount Baker, Ravenna, Admiral, or Mercer Island this June to enjoy a Sylvia River-ita and support LGBTQIA+ youth with every sip.

Medicare Health Insurance is a challenge: it’s so confusing – so much information – the way it works, the options available, what to consider, what steps to take – how on earth are you going to decide which is the best plan for you?

Event Details
What: South Seattle College Mural Celebration Party , Celebrating the Inaugural Mural and Unveiling We Carry the Light, We Carry the Sky
When: 12-2pm, Thursday, June 5, 2025
Where: Robert Smith Building Courtyard, South Seattle College,
6000 16th Ave SW, Seattle, WA 98106.
Parking is free, and we suggest using the South Parking lots for close access to the Robert Smith Building Courtyard (RSB on the campus map).Additional information about the project is provided below:
Who is Toka Valu?
Toka Valu is an Indigenous Pacific Islander Artist. His artistic influences are culturally rooted and informed by his cultural upbringing in Tonga and cultivated by the Coast Salish Lands, he now calls home in the Pacific NW. Toka’s practice integrates both his Tongan cultural upbringing and his transformative experience in the Pacific Northwest to establish a unique and bold artistry. As a multifaceted creative, his work aims to illuminate the unseen connections in our relationships and the resulting dynamics of these ties. Using a variety of applications, Toka’s work is contemporary in its interpretation and grounded in traditional Pasifika and Tongan aesthetic.About the design:
Toka spent time at South Seattle College in various ways, attending the art gallery and combing through documentation of events and artwork produced by the 270 students, staff, and faculty who attended the workshops/art activations in the gallery in Winter quarter. He reflected on those stories and collaborated with Sasha taqʷšəblu LaPointe (Upper Skagit and Nooksack) to develop a design that incorporates creation stories, the Land that South Seattle College is built on and occupies, and the yəhaw̓ story. The design centers community care, community collaboration, and the importance of carrying knowledge into our lives.Toka describes the story of the mural:
“Across two campus walls, a procession of human figures and animal allies run side by side, each carrying a torch not just of flame, but of purpose and hope. Graduates, workers, elders, and professionals of different vocations move alongside otter, cougar, bear, fox, frog, coyote, squirrel, big horn ram, and deer. Some carry tools, others carry memory and clarity of purpose. Each of them bears light.Behind them rise the hills of West Seattle where the South Seattle College is situated and skies of the Duwamish lands, echoing inspirations of formline and Pasifika carvings as a tribute to the original stewards of this region. The sky columns, marked with ancestral faces, remind us that we do not move forward alone.
We Carry the Light, We Carry the Sky honors the invisible labor, the intergenerational knowledge, and the boundless potential cultivated on this campus. It is a celebration of those who push upward and onward together lifting not only themselves, but the very communities that propped them up.”
About the project
The layout and painting of the mural, We Carry the Light, We Carry the Sky, was led by full time faculty and artist Scott Mexcal. Twice a week, Scott facilitated a class built around the layout and execution of the mural, during which students learned how to use AR goggles to draft the outlines, to painting at a large scale, to finishing with final details. Outside of class hours, Scott led a number of community paint days, during which South Seattle College community and neighbors and artists from our surrounding communities were invited to join in the realization of this mural and community space.An opportunity to support future mural projects

According to that postcard received by a reader, Seattle Parks plans an “open house” about West Seattle’s new off-leash area – aka “dog park” – Thursday, June 5. That’ll be the first public Q&A opportunity since the department tabled about it at the West Seattle Farmers’ Market in February. The off-leash area is planned for what’s currently a parking-overflow area south of the West Seattle Stadium parking lot, and that’s where the open-house event on June 5 will be, 4-6 pm. The postcard promises they’ll have new schematic designs to show at the event. The new off-leash area is expected to be built next year.

Dust off your reusable totes and mark your calendars: the Delridge Farmers Market is back with more vendors, an array of culturally rich foods, handcrafted goods, and community-driven initiatives. Kicking off its 2025 season on Saturday, May 17, this beloved community hub will run every Saturday from 10 AM to 2 PM until the end of October at 9421 18th Ave SW.
Hosted by African Community Housing & Development (ACHD), the Delridge Farmers Market is a celebration of culture, community, and culinary creativity. As one of Seattle’s most culturally diverse markets, it offers a platform where local entrepreneurs with global perspectives share foods and goods that reflect the rich tapestry of our city’s diversity.
What’s Fresh This Season?
Expect a blend of global flavors and handmade crafts at the Delridge Farmers Market — from Afella Jollof’s authentic Senegambian dishes like jollof rice and goat dibi to Queen Sugar Baking Company’s irresistible Southern comfort treats. This season, the market proudly welcomes two new regenerative farms to its roster: Coyote Run Farms of Woodinville and Bahati Farm of Kent, expanding access to fresh, locally grown produce.But the Delridge Farmers Market is about more than just good food and handmade goods — it’s a hub for holistic community care. Each market serves as a one-stop shop for health and wellness needs, offering free services for the public like acupuncture, massage, or vaccinations, along with essential basic needs like diapers and dental hygiene kits to support neighbors’ well-being. Here, shopping local isn’t just a transaction — it’s a way to uplift the entire community.
Food Access for All
The Delridge Farmers Market is dedicated to making fresh, culturally relevant food accessible to the community. To support this mission, the market offers unlimited SNAP-EBT Market Match, Fresh Bucks, and WIC and Senior FMNP benefits. In addition, every youth under 18 receives a free $5 ACHD Youth Bucks voucher, helping them build healthy spending habits from an early age.The Delridge Farmers Market proudly sources local produce from its farmer vendors to distribute free of charge, giving away more than 50 bags of high-quality vegetables at each market. To further support farmers and reduce food waste, the market also purchases unsold produce at the end of the day, ensuring guaranteed sales for vendors. This produce is then donated to local community organizations or brought back to ACHD’s offices to be shared with clients in need.
More Than a Market
Beyond the stalls, the Delridge Farmers Market pulses with life — serving as a hub where community connections thrive. Organizations like Pongo Poetry Project and Art is Not a Privilege set up alongside vendors, offering engaging youth activities and facilitating deeper connections at each market day. Nonprofits collaborate to share program information, highlight local initiatives, and provide engaging activities that foster a sense of belonging. The market is more than a place to shop — it’s where stories are shared, friendships are formed, and the community truly comes alive.

Reiki Sound Bath
Friday June 7, 7-8 pm
$40Join Inner Alchemy founder, sound healer, and shamanic reiki master Maari Falsetto and reiki master Stacey Doyne for a beautiful experience.
A Reiki sound bath is a deeply soothing experience where healing energy and sound waves gently guide you into a state of balance and inner calm. As Reiki flows through the practitioner’s hands, supporting your body’s natural ability to heal, the vibrations of crystal bowls, chimes, or gongs wash over you—clearing tension, quieting the mind, and restoring harmony. It’s like a soul-level exhale—nourishing, spacious, and profoundly peaceful.
No need to travel far, all our events are hosted right in the heart of West Seattle at our Sanctuary and Studio located at 3618 SW Alaska Street.

Admiral Church presents The Idolatry of Whiteness
“Whiteness is not a racial category, it’s a political one.” – David Billings
Six consecutive Sundays beginning May 4th, Noon-1:15 PM at 4320 SW Hill St
Register at www.admiral.churchThe United States of America was both designed to be a place where we collectively recognize that “all [humans] are created equal”, and a place where that equality was originally limited only to White men in ownership caste. As the United States has expanded its definition of human, Whiteness has continued to be an issue, one our society has yet to fully grapple with. In this 6 week course, we will read from great 20th- and 21st-century thinkers about how they have come to understand the power of Whiteness and what can be done to dismantle it in the name of “liberty and justice for all.”
Suggested $20 donation covers printed material and honarium for our guest lecturer and presenter, Black American history scholar AJ Musewe

Grief Support Groups
Grief groups are brave and safe spaces where bereaved people can share their stories and speak their loved one’s name without fear of getting advice, platitudes, or being shut out, no matter how long it’s been since their loved one’s passing. Every participant has dedicated time to speak about whatever they’d like, without judgment or interruption. Talking about our deceased loved ones in a supportive environment helps us remember them fully and helps us learn to carry the weight of their loss a little more gently.
These are ongoing, drop-in groups, but space is limited. Because of the sensitive nature of traumatic loss, the Thursday group is open only for those who are traumatic loss survivors. Learn more and register at listeningtogrief.com/groups. Contact Tamara at tamara@listeningtogrief.com with questions.

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.

-Replace the underlying soil with lightweight concrete
-Repave the road with stronger concreteThese improvements will:
-Reduce repair costs for SW Barton St
-Lower bus maintenance costs
-Make driving smootherDuring repaving, bus routes and layover zones will change. We’ll work with Metro to find the best new locations for bus stops and the layover area.

Meaningful Movie West Seattle: Screening of 13th
Date: Thursday, June 12th.
Location: Westside Unitarian Universalist Congregation
7141 California Avenue SW, Seattle
6:45 – Doors open (no access to the building and parking lot prior to 6:30)
Cost: Free with donations.The filmmaker Ava DuVernay’s documentary “13th” explores the intersection of race, justice, and mass incarceration in the United States. The Thirteenth Amendment, which abolished slavery in 1865, included an exception allowing slavery for individuals convicted of crimes. The film highlights how this clause has been exploited to perpetuate a form of legalized slavery within America’s prison system.
The film begins with the idea that 25 percent of the people in the world who are incarcerated are incarcerated in the U.S. Although the U.S. has just 5% of the world’s population. “13th” charts the explosive growth in America’s prison population; in 1970, there were about 200,000 prisoners; today, the prison population is more than 2 million. The documentary touches on chattel slavery; D. W. Griffith’s film “The Birth of a Nation”; Emmett Till; the civil rights movement; the Civil Rights Act of 1964; Richard M. Nixon; and Ronald Reagan’s declaration of the war on drugs and much more.
