Chocolate Beer Week at The Beer Junction
Feb 13 – Feb 23 all-day

Chocolate Beer Week
2/13-2/23 All Day
21+

The Beer Junction

Coming into February we ask ourselves, “what can we do that is the MOST opposite of Dry January?” Enter: Chocolate Beer Week; 10 days of absolute decadence at the hands of confection inspired beers. February 12th-23rd.
Valentine’s Day is a great time to welcome excess back into your life and it just so happens that our festival of overindulgence coincides. So skip the prix fixe, order a pie from one of the many lovely pizza paisanos in the Junction and bring it in to truly stuff yourself. Or at least come by for a night cap after your dinner res!
We’ve got beers inspired by the flavors of Snickers, Fudgesicles, Black Forest Cake, Chocolate Covered Cherries, Peppermint Bark, Mounds Bars, Coconut Creams, Oatmeal Cookies, Vanilla Lattes, Hazelnut Lattes, German Chocolate Cakes and Fluffernutters.

You know you need to indulge a little after this month, why not go all the way? See you soon!

The Good Society’s 5th-anniversary weekend
Feb 14 all-day

It’s been five years since we first opened our doors and shared our beer with you! The world looked a lot different on February 14th, 2020. But with your help, we persevered and made it this far. In those five years we have shared hundreds of thousands of beers, wine, cider, non-alcoholic beverages, pretzels, and pizzas together.

We’ve brewed thousands of barrels of beer across over 250 batches and over 130 recipes. We’ve won 22 medals for our beers including gold medals at the most prestigious and competitive competitions in the world – and we won Small Brewpub of the Year at the Great American Beer Festival. With your help, we’ve given back over $44,000 to our community and we survived a global pandemic.

This weekend we will drop GS5, our fifth anniversary beer. This year took the opportunity to work with a bunch of advanced hop products from Citra, Mosaic, and Simcoe hops. We also added Nectaron and Azacca to the mix for an insanely aromatic and juicy IPA.

But there’s more! We will also have casks of our oatmeal stout infused with chocolate and coconut on the bar at each location beginning Friday until they are gone. We will also have cakes at both locations from our friends Lovely & Dapper including one made with our stout. Saturday in West Seattle we will be doing our Smash After the Mash smash burger pop up from 4-7 PM. Saturday in Queen Anne we will have Anniversary Trivia at 3 PM. And on Sunday in West Seattle, the Westies Run Club will be running at 11:30 AM and Anniversary Trivia at 3 PM.

Live Artist Showcase Night at The Spot West Seattle
Feb 14 @ 7:00 pm – 10:00 pm

Friday – Live Artist Showcase Night at The Spot West Seattle 7 to 10 pm

‘Covenant’ evening performances at ArtsWest
Feb 14 @ 7:30 pm

ArtsWest presents the West Coast Premiere of COVENANT by York Walker, directed by Nicholas Japaul Bernard. The cast features Simone Alene, Deja Culver, Felicia Loud, Donovan Mahannah, and Kaila Towers. COVENANT performs at ArtsWest from February 6 – March 2, 2025. Tickets are available online at artswest.org or by phone at (206) 938.0963.

In this Southern gothic thriller, a struggling guitarist returns to his small Georgia town a blues star and rumors begin swirling that he may have made a deal with the devil to attain his musical genius. Before long, however, it becomes clear he’s not the only one with a secret. A mythic and suspenseful new play that delivers one devilish twist after another, York Walker’s COVENANT explores the power of belief and the thin line between rumor and truth.

This production welcomes back three stand-out theater artists to ArtsWest, including Felicia Loud who portrayed Billie Holiday in the 2018 production of LADY DAY AT EMERSON’S BAR AND GRILL. Loud also wrote and performed in her original show HERE THERE BE DRAGONS: CHASING MY VOICE along with her Black Stax counterpart Jace Ecaj in 2022. Deja Culver returns after starring in CLYDE’S (2024) as Letitia. COVENANT marks Nicholas Japaul Bernard’s directing debut at ArtsWest. Bernard portrayed the titular character in HEDWIG AND THE ANGRY INCH twice in ArtsWest’s 2018 and 2023 productions.

When asked what drew him to directing COVENANT, Nicholas remarked, “I was drawn to this script – by how lush and tight York Walker made it. There’s so much to dig into and so many questions to ask but York kept a vice grip on what he wanted to say, what he didn’t want to say, and what he meant to imply. It’s clear he wrote this script for actors and I love a playwright who takes care of his actors.”

ArtsWest will present COVENANT Thursday through Saturday at 7:30 pm and Saturday through Sunday at 3 pm.

This production welcomes back three stand-out theater artists to ArtsWest, including Felicia Loud who portrayed Billie Holiday in the 2018 production of LADY DAY AT EMERSON’S BAR AND GRILL. Loud also wrote and performed in her original show HERE THERE BE DRAGONS: CHASING MY VOICE along with her Black Stax counterpart Jace Ecaj in 2022. Deja Culver returns after starring in CLYDE’S (2024) as Letitia. COVENANT marks Nicholas Japaul Bernard’s directing debut at ArtsWest. Bernard portrayed the titular character in HEDWIG AND THE ANGRY INCH twice in ArtsWest’s 2018 and 2023 productions.

When asked what drew him to directing COVENANT, Nicholas remarked, “I was drawn to this script – by how lush and tight York Walker made it. There’s so much to dig into and so many questions to ask but York kept a vice grip on what he wanted to say, what he didn’t want to say, and what he meant to imply. It’s clear he wrote this script for actors and I love a playwright who takes care of his actors.”

ArtsWest will present COVENANT Thursday through Saturday at 7:30 pm and Saturday through Sunday at 3 pm.

Listening to Grief Peer Support Groups @ Mama Be Well Healing Studio
Feb 17 @ 6:30 pm – 8:00 pm

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.

Mondays (except October 14 & November 25): 9:30 am-11:00 am at Nurture Wellbeing Studio 102

Early morning F3 men’s workout group at Hiawatha
Feb 18 @ 5:30 am

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.

Healing Through Creativity: a 14-Week Journey Through The Artist’s Way @ online
Feb 19 @ 6:00 pm – 8:00 pm

Healing Through Creativity: a 14-Week Journey Through The Artist’s Way
Wednesdays, 6:00 – 8:00 pm on 10/23, 10/30, 11/6, 11/13, 11/20, 12/6, 12/13, 1/8, 1/15, 1/22, 1/29, 2/5, 2/12, 2/19
Where: Online

Are you ready to rediscover your creative spark and reconnect with what truly brings you joy? Join an intimate group of five for a transformative 14-week journey through the book The Artist’s Way, by Julia Cameron. This small, supportive space is designed for healers, wanderers, and creatives who seek to recover their sense of creativity, process fear, and move forward with renewed passion. It’s perfect for those seeking a blend of professional emotional support, structured creative practices, and soulful community. In this group, you’ll develop a daily journaling practice to deepen self-awareness, create a weekly self-care practice that nurtures your inner child, learn how to move through the fear of failure in a safe, structured environment, be seen, heard, and supported as you navigate the messiness of transformation, and connect with others in a gentle, healing space that encourages your authentic self to shine. Each group meeting will start with a grounding and breathing practice to help you feel more centered. Then everyone will have time to share their answers to the weekly prompts and process personal experiences of practicing and implementing the exercises from The Artist’s Way. There will also be time to share any feelings, memories, creative output, and/or synchronicities that arose during the week. All group members will be a witness to each others’ creative expressions and personal experiences, holding space for each other respectfully and compassionately. The group will end with a guided meditation and relaxation practice to help you transition out of the group. By the end of this 14-week journey, you’ll have cultivated a mindset of openness and feel empowered to embrace new possibilities with confidence and clarity.

Cost: $60/meeting ($840 for all 14 meetings)

‘Covenant’ evening performances at ArtsWest
Feb 20 @ 7:30 pm

ArtsWest presents the West Coast Premiere of COVENANT by York Walker, directed by Nicholas Japaul Bernard. The cast features Simone Alene, Deja Culver, Felicia Loud, Donovan Mahannah, and Kaila Towers. COVENANT performs at ArtsWest from February 6 – March 2, 2025. Tickets are available online at artswest.org or by phone at (206) 938.0963.

In this Southern gothic thriller, a struggling guitarist returns to his small Georgia town a blues star and rumors begin swirling that he may have made a deal with the devil to attain his musical genius. Before long, however, it becomes clear he’s not the only one with a secret. A mythic and suspenseful new play that delivers one devilish twist after another, York Walker’s COVENANT explores the power of belief and the thin line between rumor and truth.

This production welcomes back three stand-out theater artists to ArtsWest, including Felicia Loud who portrayed Billie Holiday in the 2018 production of LADY DAY AT EMERSON’S BAR AND GRILL. Loud also wrote and performed in her original show HERE THERE BE DRAGONS: CHASING MY VOICE along with her Black Stax counterpart Jace Ecaj in 2022. Deja Culver returns after starring in CLYDE’S (2024) as Letitia. COVENANT marks Nicholas Japaul Bernard’s directing debut at ArtsWest. Bernard portrayed the titular character in HEDWIG AND THE ANGRY INCH twice in ArtsWest’s 2018 and 2023 productions.

When asked what drew him to directing COVENANT, Nicholas remarked, “I was drawn to this script – by how lush and tight York Walker made it. There’s so much to dig into and so many questions to ask but York kept a vice grip on what he wanted to say, what he didn’t want to say, and what he meant to imply. It’s clear he wrote this script for actors and I love a playwright who takes care of his actors.”

ArtsWest will present COVENANT Thursday through Saturday at 7:30 pm and Saturday through Sunday at 3 pm.

West Seattle off-leash area info @ Farmers Market
Feb 23 @ 10:00 am – 2:00 pm

Seattle Parks and Recreation (SPR) invites community to participate in the development of two new off-leash areas (OLAs) at West Seattle Stadium and Othello Playground. Please join us for one of the community engagement events: either on February 20 or 23 to learn more about the development of new off-leash areas.

On Feb. 20 the Othello Playground OLA Open House at Othello UW Commons, 4200 S. Othello St., Suite 117 in Studio A/B from 4 to 7 p.m.
On Feb 23 the West Seattle Stadium OLA Open House at the West Seattle Farmer’s Market from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Come find our booth at the Farmer’s Market.
SPR’s project team and design consultant will be available to answer questions, present concept design options, and gather valuable community feedback. The feedback collected will help shape the final design of these new OLAs.

The West Seattle Stadium OLA will transform the current unpaved overflow parking lot into a dedicated off-leash area, and the Othello Playground OLA will be located in the southwest corner of the park. Both sites will include fencing, seating for pet owners, and an environmentally friendly stormwater bioretention area with thoughtful plantings.

The Seattle Park District Cycle 2 provides funding for the construction of two new OLAs and the design of a 3rd. As mandated by the funding, one of these OLAs will be constructed in West Seattle and the other OLA can be constructed in any other neighborhood of the city. The third site (funded for design only) may be anywhere in the city, though construction funds will need to be secured first. Seattle Park District Cycle 2 provides funding for these projects along with funding to ensure Seattle’s nearly 500 parks, playfields, and community centers remain welcoming places for recreation, learning, and healthy communities.

‘Covenant’ matinees at ArtsWest
Feb 23 @ 3:00 pm

ArtsWest presents the West Coast Premiere of COVENANT by York Walker, directed by Nicholas Japaul Bernard. The cast features Simone Alene, Deja Culver, Felicia Loud, Donovan Mahannah, and Kaila Towers. COVENANT performs at ArtsWest from February 6 – March 2, 2025. Tickets are available online at artswest.org or by phone at (206) 938.0963.

In this Southern gothic thriller, a struggling guitarist returns to his small Georgia town a blues star and rumors begin swirling that he may have made a deal with the devil to attain his musical genius. Before long, however, it becomes clear he’s not the only one with a secret. A mythic and suspenseful new play that delivers one devilish twist after another, York Walker’s COVENANT explores the power of belief and the thin line between rumor and truth.

This production welcomes back three stand-out theater artists to ArtsWest, including Felicia Loud who portrayed Billie Holiday in the 2018 production of LADY DAY AT EMERSON’S BAR AND GRILL. Loud also wrote and performed in her original show HERE THERE BE DRAGONS: CHASING MY VOICE along with her Black Stax counterpart Jace Ecaj in 2022. Deja Culver returns after starring in CLYDE’S (2024) as Letitia. COVENANT marks Nicholas Japaul Bernard’s directing debut at ArtsWest. Bernard portrayed the titular character in HEDWIG AND THE ANGRY INCH twice in ArtsWest’s 2018 and 2023 productions.

When asked what drew him to directing COVENANT, Nicholas remarked, “I was drawn to this script – by how lush and tight York Walker made it. There’s so much to dig into and so many questions to ask but York kept a vice grip on what he wanted to say, what he didn’t want to say, and what he meant to imply. It’s clear he wrote this script for actors and I love a playwright who takes care of his actors.”

ArtsWest will present COVENANT Thursday through Saturday at 7:30 pm and Saturday through Sunday at 3 pm.

Listening to Grief Peer Support Groups @ Mama Be Well Healing Studio
Feb 24 @ 6:30 pm – 8:00 pm

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.

Mondays (except October 14 & November 25): 9:30 am-11:00 am at Nurture Wellbeing Studio 102

Early morning F3 men’s workout group at Hiawatha
Feb 25 @ 5:30 am

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.
