The New Format We finally got there! The November issue is in the new format, which saves us the trimming and stapling fee ($200 per month) and the paper is ready earlier which should end late notice of our meetings. The paper is heavier and is costing about $20 more to mail, although part of that is an increase in the number mailed. There was also a slight increase in the layout costs as our layout artist, Kirsten, is learning this new format. Thanks to Kirsten for taking on this project and to Pacific Publishing for their help in the process of changing. Two Holiday Parties We want to clarify something that may have been confusing in the November newsletter. There are two December holiday parties. One is the Leschi Community Council get-together that takes place on December 4th. There will be music; unfortunately, the Garfield Orchestra students will not be with us this year; they have graduated, and we need to wait for the new students to reach the performance stage. We will socialize with wine and goodies for the rest of the evening. The other much bigger event is the Central Area Senior Center’s GALA on Dec. 14th. There is a fee to attend this event, but you enjoy live music, dancing and a full course catered dinner. This is a fundraiser for the Senior Center and there will be an opportunity to bid on selected items. The themed baskets put together by the volunteers are packed with goodies! It Takes a Village It takes many neighbors to contribute in whatever way they can to keep our community vibrant. These are the folks we have heard about recently. Thanks to John Barber and his helper Mark Schergen for their continuing efforts to combat long standing blackberry stands at the Dearborn street-end. This is a tight space and it would be difficult to handle more volunteers due to the slope and restricted nature of the blackberry clump. Thanks to upper Leschi resident Bill Caldwell and his sister who remembered that Halloween was the tenth anniversary of that tragic night when Office Brenton was killed; they did some weeding and raking around the memorial in case the family came by. We learned that tragically the widow of Officer Brenton has died. There was a contingent of police cars and a fire truck that came by that evening to pay their respects. Thanks to Katie Busby who has taken on the Giving Garland project at Leschi School. This year the number of homeless students has risen to 78. The Giving Garland is an opportunity to see that these children have a Christmas this year with gifts and food certificates for their families. The Leschi PTA is accepting both dollars and grocery gift certificates for this project. Thanks to Leschi residents Elisabeth Beaber and Jed Fowler volunteering for the Homework Helpers program at the Douglass-Truth library for the past seven years. They were featured in the Fall edition of The Next Chapter, the Seattle Library’s publication. And thanks to Janice Merrill Brown for picking up the November newsletter at the printer, taking the labeled copies to be mailed to the Bulk Mail Center in Tukwila and then driving Jim Snell around Leschi and Madrona to deliver newsletters to the businesses that accept them. (Sorry to say that Starbucks is no longer accepting the community newspapers; the Leschi News can be found at Leschi Market, Park Postal and Marshall’s Cleaners. Leschi Market displays the newsletter on the meat counter and near the front door in a Plexiglas holder.). And many thanks to John Barber for transporting your editor to meetings! And a hearty thanks to our subscribers who noticed their label and realized it was time to renew; and your donations always help, especially as we enter the giving season. ~Diane Snell

Hello Leschi neighbors, Wow! Do you ask yourself where did this year go? Particularly with holiday music, lights and decorations happening before Thanksgiving. Our program for December is our annual Holiday Party. We, as we write, are waiting for confirmation on our musical program. In the past we have had a string quartet from Garfield’s orchestra... Alas, they graduated. We expect an equally mesmerizing program this year. We will have appetizers, cookies, wine, and non-alcoholic beverages. This is a wonderful opportunity to give a look at your Community Council and ask about engaging with us. We encourage you to come and to become involved. While we cannot promise a trip to Tahiti for your participation, we can offer you an opportunity to make a difference in whatever way you are able in our little corner of Seattle. The season is upon us and most of us will have to dig deep for extra energy. It is also a time to look around, check on neighbors, offer to drive someone somewhere, pick up groceries, and care about our neighbors. Sometimes the loneliest people are the ones who do so much for others and are too humble to ask for themselves. Reach out and ask. The worst that can happen is they can say no. The best is you could really make someone’s day. In 2020 we already have a great line up of programs. You are always welcome to come to our monthly meetings. The location is at the Central Area Senior Center at 500 30th Ave. S., on the first Wednesday of the month at 7:00 p.m. Wishing you a magnificent holiday season. Smile, hug lots, breathe, engage in mindfulness and most of all, laugh ‘til your belly hurts. Warm regards, Janice Merrill Brown President, Leschi Community Council

Set aside your shopping, your gift-wrapping and your fruitcake production to celebrate with an evening of classical music. Enjoy a glass of wine, some fancy cheeses and perhaps a bite of holiday cookies. December 4 at 7:30pm The Central Area Senior Center, 500 30th Ave. S

November 11, 2019—Attending: Janice Merrill Brown, Janet Oliver, John Barber, Tracy Bier, Diane Snell. Janet: treasury report. Two increases in annual bills: the fee for using the plot of ground where the Brenton Memorial went up from $170 to $176. The cost of renting the postal box at Park Postal went up from $180 per year to $190. Janice: Holiday Party update: she will be contacting the Friends of Garfield Orchestra tomorrow to engage a quartet and she will be buying the food for the event. Diane agreed to contact Yousef for wine and to obtain the state license for serving alcohol. Janice will arrange a coffee date with Randy and Bud to present their Star awards as neither could attend the annual meeting. January program: should we skip, as the 1st is on Wednesday. Diane said we usually don’t meet in January for that reason, but she thinks there is a need for a special meeting which she will discuss when it is her turn. Diane is term-limited and cannot run again so we need to look for a person who would like to be secretary before the annual meeting in May. Trevor: Suggested Tax assessor John Wilson for speaker at general meeting. Diane suggested February when we have no speaker and households will have rec’d that valuation card and may have questions. Agreement. John and Diane: presented their proposal for the Flo Ware event. Due to the length of the meeting, it was not discussed but comments will be requested by email. Katie Busby has approved the draft. John said that Diane Morris was on the Senior Center Board but did not want to go to the meetings. John Barber is willing to take her place, but we don’t know the process. Diane will draft a letter for Janice to sign broaching the subject. John and Mark (neighbor) have been battling a big stand of blackberries at the Dearborn street end. It is on a slope and there is not enough room for more than two workers at a time, so he has not put out the word for more volunteers; they are slowly making progress. Both the Leschi Natural Area and Frink Park are getting more plants and will need volunteer help to plant them. Tracy: There is an uptick in car prowls, and they are not being reported; this is data which the police dept. needs. She would like to have another meeting on Crime Prevention with our community resource person, Joseph Elenbaas. April is an open meeting month. Janice asked about a follow-up on emergency preparedness; June is the next open meeting as May is the annual meeting for elections and Star awards. Diane: She and Tracy have concerns about the proposal for a mural at Jackson and 31st on the big curved retaining wall. Few people know about this in the community and they think that we need to have a public meeting. January is proposed. Janice will contact Dian Ferguson about a good date for that meeting and Diane S will contact the artist. Tracy is willing to distribute flyers in the neighborhood and Mt. Baker should also be invited. Newsletter issues: the new format is saving us the $200 in trimming and stapling fees, but other costs have risen: the postage is about $20 more and Kirsten is charging $50 more as it is taking her longer with the new format. This might resolve itself as she gets more familiar with the new format. The big advantage is that we get the newsletter earlier as it is ready right off the press and should get mailed in time to be in home before the scheduled meeting. Diane needs help picking up paper and going to BMC. Janice offered to do it again and John said he could be back-up. Deadline: Nov. 18 for the December issue. Douglas Barnett, son of Powell Barnett and father of Maisha Barnett died and John Barber did get to the service on Sunday. He spoke of all the talented people there as Douglas Barnett had been a leader in the Black Arts groups. Resources PublicSpace@seattle.gov (contact them when you are wanting info on a project in the public space) PRC@seattle.gov (contact them if you are requesting a meeting on a topic of importance to the community) Flo Ware Event Draft Write to Rev. Manaway to explain the event and invite the children of Tabernacle to participate. Efforts to work through the church’s outreach worker have been unproductive. Try to coordinate time of event with the church letting out. Ask if there is an elderly church member who knew Flor Ware and have that person speak BRIEFLY. Produce flyers which should be posted in this community (small stores, church etc. Girls School). Resume putting a Flo Ware bio in that month’s newsletter, so folks understand the importance of the event. Have a Leschi Community Council presence at the park and warmly welcome guests from the church. Possible small presentation: John Barber could explain the renovation project of the park and the efforts to recognize the activist part of Flo Ware. Perhaps some children could read her words inscribed in the tiles; I thought if we just had two children each read one inscription, maybe others would pay attention and start reading them. Keep all presentations BRIEF as the day is for kids and they will not have long attention spans. Consider giving a Small Sparks grant to pay for kids’ activities. We now have a reliable face painter and our cotton candy person if we catch her soon enough! We need to know the date early on to write a grant. Enlist local merchants in getting food for event. Try to get some kids’ music from Meter Music School. Katie reviewed the draft and felt it was a good start. She wondered if Odessa Brown has an outreach person as they do a lot for both Leschi and Madrona schools. Katie suggested June 14 as the date for the 2020 event. ~Respectfully submitted by Diane Snell

October 7, 2019—Attending: Janice Merrill Brown, Trevor Lalish-Menagh, Diane Snell Treasury report; will be in Nov. newsletter; Janet in Portugal Items left from September Board meeting: 1. Flo Ware event. Diane suggested that she and John draft an inclusive plan and run it by Katie Busby and then the Board as the two of us have a long history with Flo Ware programs. Board agreed. 2. Ad campaign: Janice suggested that she go after ads to make up the deficit in exchange for her ad free each month. We will work on a solution and bring it back to the Board. November program: Who was Leschi? Presented by Leschi School Janice needs STAR awards for Randy and Buzz who were unable to attend the meeting in May Diane has been working with faculty and parents from Leschi School for the November program. Dec. program: need someone to contact FOGO for Holiday program and someone to do food: Janice agreed to take this on. Newsletter issues; still uncertain about moving to new format. Diane will need help picking up paper and going to Bulk Mail Center as she is still not cleared to drive. Janice can do both. Janice rec’d two messages from concerned Leschi residents about a proposed mural on the big wall at Jackson and 31st St. This first came up at a CANDC meeting where the artists asked for support, but they had no clearance from SDOT. SDOT considered the “owner” of streets, sidewalks and retaining walls like these. Both Diane and Trevor were at this meeting but nothing more has transpired, and it was a surprise that folks were taking vegetation off the wall. SDOT seems to know nothing about it according to one resident. When Leschi wanted to something with the proposed Lake Dell retaining wall, we worked with SDOT and were told that murals were off the table as the upkeep was too demanding. We were given the choice of a molded wall at great cost and a “living” wall of plants that would climb the wall (but not English ivy). We voted and opted for the living wall but in the end, construction of the wall did not allow a planting space in front of it. Nature seems to be taking over with plants creeping over the wall from the back with no LCC involvement. Africatown is holding a candidate forum on Oct. 25 at the Senior Center and has requested that other organizations support them by promoting the event and bringing some refreshments. The Board agreed to that request. Janice has cookies left from our recent forum. Meeting adjourned at 7:15pm. ~Respectfully submitted by Diane Snell

Chuck’s CD Hop Shop on Tuesdays 5–9pm (notoriously subject to change; check the Internet) On busy nights, sometimes a food truck is the answer and there is usually one at Chuck’s Hop Shop on Union. It is a way to sample food from other cultures without driving all over town. One such night, we obtained “bowls” from Seoul Korean Bowl Co. There is always white rice to start with and then you have 4 options: Korean Bulgogi (“fire meat”: Thin slices of marinated beef or pork grilled), Spicy Pork, bbq chicken and Fried Tofu. Then you choose from toppings (you may take all if you wish): Sweet Asian Salad, Sweet Corn, Kimchi Cucumber, Pickled radish, Korean Kimchi, and Caramelized Onion. There are 2 additional toppings for an extra $1.50 each: Soy Egg and Cheese Fall. None of us chose these so I can’t explain them. I had one veggie choice: the tofu and I selected the Sweet Asian Salad and Caramelized Onion for toppings. Husband chose the bbq chicken and Grandson chose the Spicy Pork and all the free toppings. He made the better choice as mine was bland as was the bbq chicken. The bowl is topped with Yum Yum sauce but no spice or heat there either. Tofu is bland and can take a lot of spice which was sadly lacking. We both used hot sauce from the frig to perk it up. Servings are generous; I saved half of mine for lunch the next day. I was a little disappointed as usually everything we get at a food truck is nicely spiced but then, not knowing what we were doing was an issue. Ambiance? One either takes their food into Chuck’s and orders cider or beer or takes it home to eat in the same old ambiance with a dog looking on hungrily. Seoul Korean Bowl Co.

The closer you get to Lake Washington, the closer you get to heaven. Except when it comes to ice cream. The Leschi Market’s splendid new freezer cabinets (installed after an unfortunate encounter with an SUV in the parking lot which wanted to get “up close and personal”) have a broad selection. But where’s Molly Moon? Up the hill at 34th & Union, the Teslas are lined up around the block outside the world’s only combined laundromat and ice cream parlor. We can “Meet the Moon” in Leschi: Why can’t we lick it too? Molly Moon Ice Cream 1408 34th Ave, 206-324-0753, open 2–10pm daily mollymoon.com ~Our Roving Gourmet Malcolm Harker Looking down on Leschi (but not in a patronizing way)

Happy Thanksgiving Leschi! Leschi Market is your one-stop-shop for the upcoming holiday. Turkey, prime rib, Brussels sprouts, mashed potatoes, pecan pie and of course, wine! Here are six reds, two whites, and two pinks that are in good supply and sure to please the whole family. The Market will be well staffed to help you with all your needs. Don’t forget the cranberries! Red 2016 Château Fortia Châteauneuf-du-Pape Cuvée du Baron ($42) “Rocking aromas and flavors of garrigue, kirsch liqueur, dried flowers, and spice. Deep, medium to full-bodied, elegant and weightless on the palate, it’s the finest example of this cuvée since the 2003. The blend is 55% Grenache, 30% Syrah, and 15% Mourvèdre. Despite the high Syrah part, it just screams Grenache.” ~Jeb Dunnuck, 94-points. 2016 Shulman Estate Betty Lou Red Wine Walla Wally Valley ($40) “This 100% Cabernet possesses all of the traits you have been looking for: poise, balance and elegance. Supple tannins, bright acid, and dark-red fruits with aromas of crushed berries and licorice. Subtle spice and smoke add to the complexity of this energetic ager. Proceeds from each bottle sold will be donated to City of Hope in loving memory of Leschi Market founders Betty Lou and S. Leonard Shulman.” ~Winemaker notes. 2018 Paetra Pinot Noir Eola Amity Hills Oregon ($23) “Our 2018 Paetra Pinot Noir is fresh and elegant with moderate alcohol and a long finish. It is very red-fruited (strawberry, raspberry) and aromatic with notes of rose and hibiscus. The best vintage of 2018 produced a special Pinot Noir of lighter and brighter character with soft tannins.” ~Winemaker notes. 2017 Lydian by Avennia GSM Columbia Valley ($23) First Release. The Lydian GSM is the first of a complete line up of wines that it will be releasing each year of second labels. “Fresh and lively on the palate, with strawberry, red cherry, and hints of savory earth, fresh mint, and lavender. A delicious wine. A blend of 53% Mourvèdre, 26% Syrah and 21% Grenache.” ~Chris Peterson, Winemaker. 2017 Leschi Cellars Pinot Noir Willamette Valley ($20) “Leschi Cellars is proud to introduce Pinot Noir to our stable of wines. This one of a kind Pinot Noir accurately captures the elegance and complexity created by the volcanic soils of Oregon. The blackberry and cherry aromas give way to finely developed tannins, mushroom and earth on the lengthy dry Burgundian finish.” ~Winemaker notes. 2017 Hand Work Red Tempranillo Castilla La Mancha Spain 1L ($13) The Tempranillo checks all the good boxes: It’s organic, biodynamic, low sulfites, vegan and delicious! Juicy red fruit flavors are balanced with medium tannins to give it great structure. The gentle slope is covered in chalky clay and a fine layer of pebbles on the surface that capture and radiate the heat of the sun—a key benefit during the desert nights. White 2018 Ross Andrew Pinot Gris Celilo Vineyard Columbia Valley ($17) “This lively and delicious Pinot Gris comes from one of the greatest vineyards in the PNW (Celilo Vineyard). It’s like stuffing a Bosc pear, lemon zest, white peach, ginger and a few dashes of mineral in the bottle; resulting in fantastic aromatics. The palate is crisp, vibrant and refreshing. Enjoy!” ~Winemaker notes. New vintage. 2018 Lobo Hills Dry Riesling Yakima Valley ($16) “The 2018 Dry Riesling comes from two Yakima Valley vineyards: Lonesome Springs Ranch 65% and Airport Ranch 35%. The wine truly reflects an Alsatian wine with a slight amount of sugar and a well-balanced acidity. The wine smells of white peach, apricot skins and honeysuckle blossoms; its flavors reflect apricot and pineapple.” ~Tony Dollar, Winemaker. Rosé 2018 Bastide Blanche Rosé Bandol ($22) “Continuing its consistent excellence, this Domaine’s 2018 Bandol Rosé looks to be another fine performance. Crushed stone, under-ripe peach and pineapple notes mark the nose, while the medium-bodied palate is creamy and rich, with just enough pepper and licorice-tinged spice on the finish to provide freshness and length.” ~Wine Advocate, 90–92-points. 2018 Tranche Cellars Pink Pape Rosé Yakima Valley ($19) “Pale salmon in color. Delicate aromas of mountain berry, white peach, citrus blossom and honeydew. The wine is bright and focused on the palate, with fresh citrus and stone fruit qualities underscored by a wet stone-like minerality. Driving acidity provides excellent focus and direction, drawing out the palate to a lingering, mouthwatering finish.” ~Winemaker notes.

After a long gestation, the transformation of the old Burke Museum is like a chrysalis suddenly bursting forth into a dazzling architectural creation. This venerable 140-year-old institution, a source of inspiration to those who knew it, struggled to achieve its goals in a series of three inadequate structures where only a fraction of its holdings could be displayed. Despite the constraints, the luminaries of Burke Museum, especially Bill Holm and his successor, Robin Wright, along with many native collaborators, made enormous contributions to the study of the indigenous peoples of the Northwest, recording history, analyzing art and disseminating knowledge. At the same time paleontologists revealed the region’s prehistory. More school children visited the Burke than any other museum in Seattle. The New Burke’s Grand Atrium welcomes visitors with a mastodon, Baird’s Beaked Whale skeleton, Credit : Mark Stone, courtesy Burke Museum of Natural History & Culture Under the dynamic leadership of the director, Judith Stein, a building committee worked for ten years to realize a vision for the museum’s future. They aimed to carry on the Burke’s mission of research, preservation and education more effectively in a purpose-built environment designed for public participation. They avoided the trap of hiring a superstar architect from far away to produce a provocative form. Instead, they commissioned an award-winning local architect Tom Kundig, who listened to them and responded by creating a simple, economical volume with a flexible interior. The result is a world class museum that brings its collection to life and offers vivid interpretations. While the traditional museum displays and identifies objects, the new Burke is a place in which ideas, principles and connections lead the way. Large wall signs demonstrate the Burke’s philosophy: “Culture is living. From the time we are born to the time we pass we live our lives together connected to one another through community and culture.” “Life is linked. Every living thing plays a role to keep the ecosystem working smoothly.” “Traditions teach and ignite.” “We are responsible for our earth.” “Honor, learn, inspire, create.” The Burke has always been a research institute, dedicated to the study of paleontology, archaeology, biology and the culture of our region. The expert staff worked in back rooms and basements, unseen by the public. But, in the new museum, everything is turned inside-out: labs and studios are open to view, interspersed with fascinating displays. Around giant skeletons flying overhead or works of Coast Salish art, we can watch paleontologists cleaning stone off fossils or fabric specialists restoring ancient weaving. Children get a closer look at canoes and other watercraft in the new Culture is Living gallery. Image courtesy Dennis Wise, courtesy Burke Museum of Natural History & Culture Demonstrating its deep commitment to the complex and urgent issue of native artifact restitution, such as stolen house posts and totem poles, a wall-sign boldly declares, “The Burke acknowledges the violent legacies of colonialism.” Among recent actions the museum returned artifacts to the Muckleshoot tribe as well as to Peru in 2014. Contemporary art plays a key role. Most prominently, RYAN! Feddersen (Okanagen and Lakes) created the subtle Synedoche, “a cascade of transforming glyphs drawn from motifs in the Burke collection and the world at large” on a vast wall beside the staircase that rises through three stories. Unlike conventional museums with a series of distinct rooms, each focusing on a category of exhibits, space in the Burke flows from one section to another. In fact, it is possible to see the entire length of the interior from the first-floor entry. A sense of transparency permeates the building. This allows thematic and visual intersections. Connecting inside and outside, the skeletons of a mammoth, giant sloth and saber-tooth tiger rear up against the background of trees. A few showcases are placed against walls in the conventional manner, but we can look through most of them to enticing sights beyond. The Off the Rez Café, already renowned for its amazing food trucks, serves mouth-watering snacks and meals based on Indian traditions. In fine weather, it opens through an ingenious kinetic wall to outdoor seating in the plaza on the south side. The new Burke Museum revitalizes the north-east corner of the campus where its forerunner lurked behind trees. Its rectilinear form exposing a black steel frame on the ground level is clad on the upper floors with sustainable scotch pine that will weather to a natural silvery color. A few tall, irregularly placed openings at the upper level supply daylight and views out. The landscaping by Shannon Nichol features a camas prairie on the west side of the museum that will evoke the wild prairies that once covered much of the state. When it blooms purple in the spring it will offer a beautiful sight. 80,000 plants of sixty species native to Washington will complete the transformation of the site into a spectacular entrance to the campus, directly aligned with University district light rail station. The plaza will serve as a place for celebrations as well as parking. Indeed, it was the venue for a series of thrilling opening events from October 9th to 14th. The Burke Museum 4300 15th Ave NE, Seattle, WA 98105, 206-543-7907 Open daily 10am–5pm, First Thursdays 10am–8pm.
