Qigong and Meditation in Lincoln Park
Saturday, June 25, 9:30 – 11:45.
Lincoln Park, just north of the zipline. (Come in from the very north entrance to the park; park near the gas station at 47th and Fauntleroy).Come play and sit with us in the beautiful outdoors. Please bring a chair and water and come a bit early so you can set up your space be ready to start! We will be doing a combination of qigong, tai chi and meditation throughout the morning. You do not need to register – just show up before 9:30!
Qigong and Tai Chi
Qigong and Tai Chi are ancient Chinese practices that promote balance, well-being, self-awareness, and reduce stress. The morning will incorporate several sessions, so you can experience a range of practices. No experience necessary. Led by Master Viola Brumbaugh, a beloved teacher of Tai Chi and Qigong here in West Seattle (in Lincoln Park this summer), Burien, Capitol Hill, as well as on Zoom. You can learn more about what she offers by visiting the Wise Orchid Taijiquan and Qigong website: www.wise-orchid.com.Meditation
No experience is necessary and enough instruction will be given for people new to meditation to give it a try. For more experienced meditators, incorporating movement into your meditation practice can deepen and integrate your practice into your life. Meditation instruction will be given by Jill Boone, Buddhist Lay Minister, who leads the West Seattle Buddhist Sangha.The morning is offered freely by Viola and Jill, with an opportunity and encouragement to make a donation (cash or check only) in support of Puget Soundkeeper Alliance, a nonprofit that protects and preserves the waters of the Puget Sound.
Covid restrictions – we will follow any current requirements and if there are none, we encourage arriving with a mask on and settling your chair and space with social distancing in mind.
We’ll be tackling Admiral Way hill from Belvidere Park down to Spokane Street. Depending on turnout we can send people west towards the Admiral Junction, across to the viewpoint, and drive folks down the hill to work under the bridge and along Harbor Ave and Avalon Way.
The west side of Admiral hill has no sidewalk or shoulder so we’ll want to practice safety first and foremost along that stretch. The rest of the cleanup area is more leisurely and family friendly.
Vests, gloves, buckets and pickup sticks will be provided. Dress for the weather, the environment on the hillside may include blackberry bushes.
Parking: Park in the neighborhoods at the top of the hill around Belvidere Park where we’ll have our gear set up then you can dig in at the top of the hill, or grab gear and drive yourself down the hill or under the bridge for a broader impact.
Come for as little or as much as you’d like…bring a friend!

Free community event happening on Saturday, June 25th from 10 am-1 pm hosted by Deanne, Carmen, Ted and team at Movement Mortgage in West Seattle. Shred-it will be onsite and available to shred personal or business documentation, bank statements, and any sensitive paperwork from home or business.
Hosted in the parking lot off the alley at Movement Mortgage which is off California Ave SW and between Charlestown,(3727 California Ave SW).
In also supporting the food bank they are asking for non-perishable food item.
On May 14, 2022, the Delridge Farmers Market reopens in the Delridge neighborhood of Southwest Seattle. The Market launched last summer, and seeks to put fresh, local food produced by Black, Indigenous and People of Color-owned businesses directly into the hands of the neighborhood’s residents.
With a mission to serve the African Diaspora immigrant and refugee community in King County, nonprofit African Community Housing & Development, led by Executive Director Hamdi Abdulle, has heard from the community for years about the need for food access programs in Delridge. The Delridge Farmers Market is designed to provide a wide array of culturally appropriate foods for the immigrant and refugee community in the area. Featuring robust food access programs, the primary goal of the market is to bring local, nutritious food to everyone, especially families for whom fresh produce is a financial struggle. The market also aims to holistically support Black and Brown entrepreneurs who run farms and food-based businesses.
The majority of vendors at the Delridge Farmers Market are Black, Indigenous, or People of Color, and many are immigrants and refugees themselves. With the goal of supporting the development of small businesses in mind, vendors are not charged a stall fee to participate and are provided with resources, equipment, and technical support as they build their capacity to sell at farmers markets. In addition, ACHD seeks to reduce the inherent economic risk of selling at a farmers market while eliminating food waste by purchasing any leftover produce at the end of the market day. That food is then delivered to members of the African Diaspora immigrant and refugee community who are unable to attend the market due to mobility or transportation barriers. “We’ve created a market model that is a win-win-win for customers, vendors, and the community,” says ACHD Associate Director Bilan Aden.
Throughout 2022, a variety of vendors will be returning to the market, including: Afella Jollof Catering (Senegambian cuisine), Chef Jalissa Culinary Co (Southern-inspired baked goods), CityFruit (fruit from Seattle’s urban orchards), Heu’s Blooms & Greens (vibrant locally grown bouquets), Ma & Pops (Caribbean-inspired popsicles), Regeneration Farm (sustainably grown produce from Woodinville), Seola Bee Company (hyper-local honey from West Seattle hives), Small Axe Farm (produce grown by the Black Farmers Collective), Umoja Ni Nguvu (produce grown by Burundian immigrants), and Wakulima (culturally relevant African produce). The market is also seeing incredible growth, adding 10+ additional vendors this year including: Ardour Sisterz Candle Co. (100% coconut soy wax crafted candles and melts as well as traditional African beads and clothing), Haki Farmers Collective (produce and spices grown using traditional methods), Lillie’s Passion (lovingly-crafted sauces, pickles, and jams), Theary’s Flowers & Produce (sustainably grown Cambodian produce), and more!
The Market also hosts on-site connection to resources, offered by ACHD staff in both English and Somali, and provides other community organizations the opportunity to introduce their community services to both vendors and patrons. Organizations like Muslimahs Against Abuse Center and the Delridge Neighborhoods Development Association have already signed up for tabling this year.
Look for the market on the second and fourth Saturday of each month from May – October 2022, 10 am – 2 pm in the courtyard of Hope Academy (9421 18th Ave SW). Everyone is welcome to attend, and robust food access programs are available (including SNAP/EBT, WIC/Senior FMNP checks, SNAP Market Match, and Fresh Bucks). Free bags of produce will also be available on a first-come, first-served basis.
The Delridge Farmers Market is made possible by King Conservation District, Albertsons Foundation, and PCC Community Markets.
Individuals interested in attending or volunteering at the market should visit achdo.org/delridgefarmersmarket. Businesses interested in sponsorship opportunities can contact Rachel Perlot at rachel@achdo.org.

miku, and the gods.
JUN 16 – JUL 03 2022by Julia Izumi
Co-presented by Pork-Filled Productions
Miku wants to be a god. Ephraim wants to be an Olympian. Grandma Seiko wants to remember. And minor god Shara just wants people to include him in the conversation, you know? As they journey from the schoolyard to the river to the underworld and back again, Miku and company will learn what it actually takes to become a god. As funny as it is moving, miku, and the gods. is an epic adventure that braids together friendship, death, memory, time, rhythm – and power beyond what one could ever desire.
Runtime is subject to change: approximately 2 hours and 15 minutes with one 15 minute intermission.
As the delta variant continues to increase and King County enters the high transmission level, it is important to play safe ultimate.

On May 14, 2022, the Delridge Farmers Market reopens in the Delridge neighborhood of Southwest Seattle. The Market launched last summer, and seeks to put fresh, local food produced by Black, Indigenous and People of Color-owned businesses directly into the hands of the neighborhood’s residents.
With a mission to serve the African Diaspora immigrant and refugee community in King County, nonprofit African Community Housing & Development, led by Executive Director Hamdi Abdulle, has heard from the community for years about the need for food access programs in Delridge. The Delridge Farmers Market is designed to provide a wide array of culturally appropriate foods for the immigrant and refugee community in the area. Featuring robust food access programs, the primary goal of the market is to bring local, nutritious food to everyone, especially families for whom fresh produce is a financial struggle. The market also aims to holistically support Black and Brown entrepreneurs who run farms and food-based businesses.
The majority of vendors at the Delridge Farmers Market are Black, Indigenous, or People of Color, and many are immigrants and refugees themselves. With the goal of supporting the development of small businesses in mind, vendors are not charged a stall fee to participate and are provided with resources, equipment, and technical support as they build their capacity to sell at farmers markets. In addition, ACHD seeks to reduce the inherent economic risk of selling at a farmers market while eliminating food waste by purchasing any leftover produce at the end of the market day. That food is then delivered to members of the African Diaspora immigrant and refugee community who are unable to attend the market due to mobility or transportation barriers. “We’ve created a market model that is a win-win-win for customers, vendors, and the community,” says ACHD Associate Director Bilan Aden.
Throughout 2022, a variety of vendors will be returning to the market, including: Afella Jollof Catering (Senegambian cuisine), Chef Jalissa Culinary Co (Southern-inspired baked goods), CityFruit (fruit from Seattle’s urban orchards), Heu’s Blooms & Greens (vibrant locally grown bouquets), Ma & Pops (Caribbean-inspired popsicles), Regeneration Farm (sustainably grown produce from Woodinville), Seola Bee Company (hyper-local honey from West Seattle hives), Small Axe Farm (produce grown by the Black Farmers Collective), Umoja Ni Nguvu (produce grown by Burundian immigrants), and Wakulima (culturally relevant African produce). The market is also seeing incredible growth, adding 10+ additional vendors this year including: Ardour Sisterz Candle Co. (100% coconut soy wax crafted candles and melts as well as traditional African beads and clothing), Haki Farmers Collective (produce and spices grown using traditional methods), Lillie’s Passion (lovingly-crafted sauces, pickles, and jams), Theary’s Flowers & Produce (sustainably grown Cambodian produce), and more!
The Market also hosts on-site connection to resources, offered by ACHD staff in both English and Somali, and provides other community organizations the opportunity to introduce their community services to both vendors and patrons. Organizations like Muslimahs Against Abuse Center and the Delridge Neighborhoods Development Association have already signed up for tabling this year.
Look for the market on the second and fourth Saturday of each month from May – October 2022, 10 am – 2 pm in the courtyard of Hope Academy (9421 18th Ave SW). Everyone is welcome to attend, and robust food access programs are available (including SNAP/EBT, WIC/Senior FMNP checks, SNAP Market Match, and Fresh Bucks). Free bags of produce will also be available on a first-come, first-served basis.
The Delridge Farmers Market is made possible by King Conservation District, Albertsons Foundation, and PCC Community Markets.
Individuals interested in attending or volunteering at the market should visit achdo.org/delridgefarmersmarket. Businesses interested in sponsorship opportunities can contact Rachel Perlot at rachel@achdo.org.

Paint the Night Blue Fundraiser
Support the 34th District Democrats!
July 14, 6:00 – 8:00PM
Arthur’s, 2311 California Avenue SW, Admiral JunctionIt’s Time to Paint the Night Blue!
It’s been 2 long years since we have been able to get together to purposefully raise funds to support our important work. Now, we invite you to a Homecoming.
We will gather to raise funds to support the midterm elections. This is a big one folks. After the assault on the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, a number of House Republicans voted to impeach Donald Trump on charges of inciting the violence. Two of those representatives are from Washington state. Both are up for re-election in the midterms later this year. Trump wants them gone and has endorsed Republican challengers in those races. That means the Evergreen State has emerged as a prime target for Trump’s revenge at the ballot box in 2022. We need to be sure that the 34th can afford to do our part in this important election.
Let’s come together to raise a glass for all the positive things that have happened this year. We will have lots of ways for you to contribute. Every little bit helps us get Democrats elected!
All our welcome to attend our fundraising event. While it is important that we raise the funds to do our work; it is a value of our organization that everyone has an opportunity to participate and to feel welcome. We do not turn anyone away from participating. If you are unable to afford a ticket to the event we would love your contribution of time as a volunteer. In order for this event to be a success, we need many volunteers in many roles. If you are interested in volunteering (you will also have time to enjoy the event as well) please reach out to Gina Topp at ginatopp@gmail.com.
More information will be shared as we confirm plans.

The U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary plans to provide tours every Sunday afternoon during the summer season through Labor Day weekend, pending availability of sufficient volunteer staffing.
This year, in order to enhance safety and reduce crowding, the tour team is piloting a new system to manage the number of visitors in the lighthouse, in the tower and on site. No reservations are needed but there will be a sign up sheet at the gate on the day of the tour for visitors to sign up for a tour time slot for that afternoon. They may also be assigned a specific time to go up to the tower’s lantern room.
Visitors age six and up may climb to the lantern room at the top of the tower. All children 12 and under must be accompanied by an adult while on the lighthouse site. Service animals are welcome, but no pets are allowed. For more information about the site and other visitor guidelines, visit: wow.uscgaux.info/content.php?unit=130-02&category=alki-pt-lighthouse
