Cups and mugs will be on display and for sale at Dubsea Coffee. It is a “cash and carry” sales event meaning when people purchase their cup (cash or card payment) they can take it home with them right away.

Rat City Studios is a welcoming creative clay studio that provides a supportive environment for makers working independently in clay. This community studio, located in White Center, is home to founder-potter-instructor-author Deb Schwartzkopf. RCS offers monthly studio access to studio artist participants, skill building online clay workshops, and a variety of firing service options. We support artists at many levels through experiential learning and shared experience.

They are vibrant, creative communities that offer everything from beginning pottery classes to firing services for local potters. RCS & RCC bring people together through shared experiences in clay. Here we engage and build community through clay. Explore our community by taking a class or attending an event!

Drug Take-Back Day at Southwest Precinct
Oct 26 @ 10:00 am – 2:00 pm

On Saturday October 26th Seattle Police Department and the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) are hosting the 27th semi-annual event to prevent prescription drug abuse and theft by disposing of potentially dangerous expired, unused, and unwanted drugs.

This Saturday, October 26th, North Precinct and Southwest Precinct will serve as drop-off locations between 10 AM and 2 PM for any unwanted prescription drugs. The service is free and anonymous, no questions asked, visiting our precinct map.

Help make your home and community safer by bringing your unwanted prescriptions to the precincts on Drug Take-Back Day.

In April, Americans turned in 335 tons (over 670,136 pounds) of prescription drugs at more than 4,800 sites operated by the DEA and more than 4,600 of its state and local law enforcement partners. Overall, in its 26 previous Take Back events, DEA and its partners have taken in over 18.5 million pounds—more than 9,200 tons—of pills.

The drug overdose epidemic in the United States is a clear and present public health, public safety, and national security threat. DEA’s National Prescription Drug Take Back Day reflects DEA’s commitment to Americans’ safety and health, encouraging the public to remove unneeded medications from their homes as a measure of preventing medication misuse and opioid addiction from ever starting.

For more information about the disposal of prescription drugs or about the October 26th Take Back Day event, go to the dea.gov/takebackday.

Saturdays have been added for now just thru this wild election season thru October. The time is ticking down only several weeks left.

We are all about getting out the vote. Not so much trying to change any minds, but just getting people to bother to vote. Only about 2/3 did in 2020 & 2022- and that was high!

https://www.postcards4democracy.org

Please help us spread the word- everybody is welcome! Even children and dogs.
We usually have some space inside, but please dress for the weather.
Since the end of July we have grown from being a nice little group of a dozen or so to suddenly upwards of 4 dozen causing us to have to run home and bring extra chairs for overflow crowds, it’s inspirational! The stakes are high this time.

Nightfall Charity Haunt
October 18, 19, 25, 26, 31 & November 1, 2
5:30 pm – 9:30 pm

Nightfall is a dark fantasy walk-through attraction with a deep and expansive story – a high-end, Disney-esque nightmare that is a fun, scary, fun-scary home haunt in West Seattle that raises donations for West Seattle Food Bank and Washington’s National Park Fund. More like a dark ride, Nightfall is filled with more shadowy wonder than intense terror, though there are certainly a few screams to be had along the way. It is family-friendly but may be too intense for some younger guests, so parental discretion is advised. Over nearly a decade, Nightfall has become a Halloween tradition for many in the West Seattle Community.

Check the website for donation requirements, essential guest information, and to discover the Nightlore. Please read and follow ALL PARKING and GUEST GUIDELINES. Nightfall is held at a private residence in West Seattle. Please remember you are a guest and be respectful of the community.

Grief Support Groups – morning @ Nurture Wellbeing Studio 102
Oct 28 @ 9:30 am – 11:00 am

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.

Early morning F3 men’s workout group at Hiawatha
Oct 29 @ 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.

Oct 30 @ 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)

Rat City Studios’ 2024 Community Cup Showcase @ Dubsea Coffee
Oct 31 all-day

Rat City Studios is facilitating an exhibition at Dubsea Coffee, in White Center, in October of 2024 – “The Community Cup Showcase.” This year is our 7th year putting on the event! Current and past Rat City Studios members, current and past staff, visiting artists, and (sister-studio) Rain City Clay students are joining in this fun event by adding cups and mugs to the showcase. We want to display the diversity of clay work happening in the Seattle area and showcase the creativity of people working (or who have worked) with RCS & RCC. This exhibition will take place during the whole month of October! This is a yearly event that continues to grow as Dubsea has granted us an October exhibition space for the coming years. Cups and mugs will be on display and for sale at Dubsea Coffee. It is a “cash and carry” sales event meaning when people purchase their cup (cash or card payment) they can take it home with them right away.

Rat City Studios is a welcoming creative clay studio that provides a supportive environment for makers working independently in clay. This community studio, located in White Center, is home to founder-potter-instructor-author Deb Schwartzkopf. RCS offers monthly studio access to studio artist participants, skill building online clay workshops, and a variety of firing service options. We support artists at many levels through experiential learning and shared experience.

Rat City Studios & Rain City Clay are sister studios located in West Seattle and White Center. They are vibrant, creative communities that offer everything from beginning pottery classes to firing services for local potters. RCS & RCC bring people together through shared experiences in clay. Here we engage and build community through clay. Explore our community by taking a class or attending an event!

White Center Halloweentown Block Party
Oct 31 @ 4:00 pm – Nov 1 @ 2:00 am
Halloween party/potluck at The Dragon House On Halloween
Oct 31 @ 5:00 pm

Halloween party/potluck at The Dragon House On Halloween.

Over the last 20 years, Halloween, as a holiday, has gotten bigger and bigger. This year, Halloween is on a Thursday evening, and it seems that there will be HUGE parties on the friday and saturday before, and I don’t really want to compete with those – but I DO want to do something ON Halloween itself and with the art in the yard, my house tends to be a bit of a destination for trick or treaters (we usually get almost 50 of them)! Not to mention it’s listed on a few maps of notable trick or treat locations.

So, I want to host a low-key Halloween party on Halloween itself. If you want to do something more than stay home and ignore the evening, but you also don’t want to be at a crazy go all out party on a Thursday night, this is the the event for you! Don’t want to wear a costume but you still want to be social? Great! Come on over (If you want to wear a costume, please do!) Don’t want to make an extravagant potluck dish? Great, bring something simple… or don’t bring anything. (but naturally, the definition of potluck is that if you don’t bring anything for it, you don’t partake) If you want to bring something yummy to share? Please Do! There will be no shaming anyones choices.

My intentions for the evening is to hang out with everyone that shows up, and to open the door when kids knock, and say Boo! I also plan to offer age appropriate banned books to the kids. (I mean, what is scarier to some adults than a book that might change a kids worldview!)

If the weather is nice, I’ll light the firepit in the front yard and we can hand out candy from there, and if it’s not, I’ll light the fireplace inside.

Over the last 5 or so years somewhere between 10 and 40 folks show up. a nice small intimate crowd perfect for taking turns telling stories in front of the fire. I have a piece of guerilla theater for the kids at the door if you happen to like fake spray on blood and want to terrify some parents… And as usual, if anyone wants a tour of the craziness that is the inside of the house, I’m happy to do that a limited number of times as well. We can hang out until people leave. Nothing stressful. Even if you want to just swing by with kids and knock on the door, I tend to give out good candy. so do that, and maybe even come in and stay for a bit and chat.

I’ll open the doors at 5:00 PM? Hey, it’s low key, so this is more of a come on by any time kind of thing (well, trick or treating is over by 10 so we will close up around then.)

I’m at 5284 44th Ave SW. right on the corner of 44th and Brandon in West Seattle. On that corner, there is the stump that used to be the perch of the 16 foot tall dragon that was carved out of that tree, and what is left there now, is the dragons owner… a naked woman with outstretched arms… The grand entry stairs are about 10 feet north of the female sculpture. If you have any trouble finding the place, just call (206) 932-6622.

Nightfall Charity Haunt 2024 @ (see website)

Nightfall Charity Haunt
October 18, 19, 25, 26, 31 & November 1, 2
5:30 pm – 9:30 pm

Nightfall is a dark fantasy walk-through attraction with a deep and expansive story – a high-end, Disney-esque nightmare that is a fun, scary, fun-scary home haunt in West Seattle that raises donations for West Seattle Food Bank and Washington’s National Park Fund. More like a dark ride, Nightfall is filled with more shadowy wonder than intense terror, though there are certainly a few screams to be had along the way. It is family-friendly but may be too intense for some younger guests, so parental discretion is advised. Over nearly a decade, Nightfall has become a Halloween tradition for many in the West Seattle Community.

Check the website for donation requirements, essential guest information, and to discover the Nightlore. Please read and follow ALL PARKING and GUEST GUIDELINES. Nightfall is held at a private residence in West Seattle. Please remember you are a guest and be respectful of the community.

Traumatic Loss Grief Support Group @ Counseling West Seattle
Oct 31 @ 6:30 pm – 8:00 pm

Traumatic Loss Grief Support Group

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.

Thursdays (except October 17 & November 28): 6:30 pm – 8:00 pm at Counseling West Seattle (Traumatic loss only)

$32/session. 4 sessions for $102 (use within 6 weeks). Discounts are available for those who could otherwise not afford to attend.

Nightfall is a dark fantasy walk-through attraction with a deep and expansive story – a high-end, Disney-esque nightmare that is a fun, scary, fun-scary home haunt in West Seattle that raises donations for West Seattle Food Bank and Washington’s National Park Fund. More like a dark ride, Nightfall is filled with more shadowy wonder than intense terror, though there are certainly a few screams to be had along the way. It is family-friendly but may be too intense for some younger guests, so parental discretion is advised. Over nearly a decade, Nightfall has become a Halloween tradition for many in the West Seattle Community.

Check the website for donation requirements, essential guest information, and to discover the Nightlore. Please read and follow ALL PARKING and GUEST GUIDELINES. Nightfall is held at a private residence in West Seattle. Please remember you are a guest and be respectful of the community.

Heart Tending Grief Workshop with Listening to Grief and Daish Wellness and Coaching @ Bohemian Studioss
Nov 2 @ 1:00 pm – 5:00 pm

Heart Tending Grief Workshop with Listening to Grief and Daish Wellness and Coaching

Lean into grief using breathwork, meditation, yoga, art, and writing. Daisha Nilsen of Daish Wellness and Coaching and Tamara Kubacki of Listening to Grief will lead a small group through various movement and creative exercises. Movement and breathwork will help move heavy feelings through the body, and discussion and writing prompts will aid in processing the many different types of grief we all carry. Snacks and tea will be provided.

All grief is welcome. The death of a loved one always brings grief, but we also feel grief over any big change, including divorce or breakups, job loss, the death of a pet, a move to a new city, and other big changes. We can also feel grief for the collective, brought on by war or climate change, and because of ancestral trauma. It’s all welcome here.

When: November 2, 2024
Time: 5:00 PM to 10:30 PM

The Lucy Strong Foundation is holding its 2nd annual Sparkle and Shine Gala. The Foundation was created in honor of Lucy Watters, who fought Leukemia for five years and eventually ran out of treatment options. The Foundation is dedicated to ending pediatric cancer because no family should have to endure what the Watters did. Lucy’s mom, Nicole, started the Foundation to raise awareness and funding for pediatric cancer research. There are still tickets available, and the Foundation would love to pack the room for this important cause. The Foundation is based in West Seattle, and this year, the event is on November 2nd at the Hall at Fauntleroy! We hope to see you there. Here is the link to buy tickets or donate if you can’t attend. Nicole and Family appreciate your support.
