The Aquarium’s seasonal Beach Naturalist program helps community members learn about and enjoy our vibrant shorelines. Through the program, local experts on the marine environment—beach naturalists—educate members of the public on how to explore shorelines while keeping animals and their homes safe. They might also tell you what sea stars eat, explain why barnacles stand on their heads, describe how moon snails lay their eggs and so much more.

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

Mondays (except October 14 & November 25): 6:30 pm – 8:00 pm at Mama Be Well Healing Studio

The Seattle Branch of the Royal Scottish Country Dance Society is pleased to announce a new class in West Seattle, demonstrating its ongoing commitment to the promotion of Scotland’s unique dance form in the Seattle metro area.

The class welcomes both families and individuals ages eight and over, regardless of experience. This weekly introduction to joyful jigs, lively reels and elegant strathspeys will take place at Fauntleroy Church on Tuesday evenings from 7:00-9:00 beginning September 9th. The Church, located at 9140 California Avenue SW, has ample parking and is conveniently located on the RapidRide C line and a half mile from the Fauntleroy ferry terminal. Comfortable clothing permitting ease of movement, non-marking shoes and a good sense of humor are the only essentials for the class. An individual’s first class is free. Thereafter per class fees will be $10 and $5 for ages 8-17.

Seattle Branch Chair, EB Van Otterloo, will be one of the class instructors. Of Scottish Country Dancing, Van Otterloo says, “There are so many things to love about this form of dance. It’s social, but you don’t need to bring a partner. It’s good exercise for your body and your mind, and most of all, it is such good fun.”

Blaine Peet, who has taught Scottish Country Dancing around the world, will join Van Otterloo in teaching the new class. “Once you have learned the basics, you can dance with people anywhere across the U.S. and Canada, and around the globe. It’s a great way to make new friends in different cultures, no matter whether you are in Europe, Asia or Australia.”

The Seattle Branch has regular social events and runs classes in the U-District, at the Phinney Neighborhood Center and in Edmonds while also promoting classes in Tacoma, Burien and Mount Vernon, among others. More information is available at rscds-seattle.org/classes

Understanding POTS: A Guide for Patients and Families with Dr. Megan Taylor, ND, FABNG
Thursday, May 21st at 12:30 pm PST
*recording available for those who can’t make it live

Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) is a disorder of the autonomic nervous system (often grouped under an umbrella condition called Dysautonomia) that affects how the body regulates heart rate, blood flow, and energy—especially under stress. The symptoms of POTS can be vague and hard to recognize, often leading to unnecessary delays in the diagnosis and treatment of this condition. Though largely invisible, this condition can be debilitating, leading to patients to limit their activities, avoid social events, reduce work hours, or even take long-term leave from work or school. But there is hope! Patients can experience real and meaningful improvement over time with the right combination of education, lifestyle strategies, and medical care.

Join Dr. Megan Taylor for this upcoming FREE webinar where she will share more about this condition as well as some supportive lifestyle strategies and tools to support it.

The West Seattle Tool Library is open at Youngstown Cultural Arts Center space (east side of main building).

West Seattle Tool Library provides free, community access to a wide variety of tools, training, and sustainable resources. Utilizing a diverse collection of over 1,500 tools, our membership has successfully grown entire community orchards, built mini-greenhouses, and even just mowed their own lawns. From basic tasks to brilliant innovations, the projects accomplished by the West Seattle Tool Library’s 780+ members have made all the tools in the collection proud to be working again.

Join us for a new monthly event at the bookstore! Book Swap will take place every third Thursday of the month and we are pairing this event with $10 wine pours from Darby Winery.

This month’s theme is: New Energy or Luck & Fortune

Here are the guidelines:

Books do not have to be new! Please bring a gently used book in good enough condition to swap with other book lovers.

Book Swap is an evolving event and we hope it grows bigger and bigger every month. The structure might change from month to month but the basics will stay-swap gently used books and you don’t have to talk if you don’t want to. Just show up with your book!

The goal of Book Swap is to meet other book lovers, discover new books, chat about books (if you want to!), enjoy a glass of wine and have fun!

Stop by anytime between 5:30-7!

Come celebrate new lights, tour road improvements on 16th Avenue SW during White Center “Glow Up” event Thursday, May 21:

King County Department of Local Services invites the community to a White Center “Glow Up” event – a chance to celebrate and learn more about several improvements along 16th Avenue SW.

The celebration begins at 7:30 p.m., Thursday, May 21, during the monthly Rat City Art Walk event at the corner of 16th Avenue SW and SW 98th Street near the community kiosk.

King County Councilmember Teresa Mosqueda, Department of Local Services Director Leon Richardson, Road Services Director Tricia Davis, and local business and community leaders are expected to make remarks.

After that, the Department of Local Services – the local government for unincorporated White Center – will host a walking tour to highlight several recent investments:

Illuminate White Center: Decorative lights suspended over the sidewalk will brighten 16th Avenue SW from SW Roxbury Street to SW 100th Street, creating a brighter, more welcoming nighttime experience. This community-driven idea was selected and funded through King County’s Participatory Budgeting program (early estimate $100,000).

Pedestrian safety improvements and traffic calming project on 16th Avenue SW, between SW 100th Street and SW 107th Street: We are near completion of a multi-year project to make this busy road safe for everyone, including:
-Creating one lane in each direction with a center turn lane and bicycle lanes in both directions
-Modern ADA curb ramps
-Sidewalk curb extensions 
-Rapid flashing lights and new pedestrian crossing signs at intersections without a traffic signal

Rainbow Sidewalk: The curb cut-outs on both sides of 16th Avenue SW at the sidewalk between SW Roxbury Street and SW 98th Street will be painted in vibrant rainbow colors.

Organizers will also share how the county’s investments in the White Center Business Alliance are helping to boost business engagement, promote the district, support community events, and advocate for the small businesses that make “Rat City” unique.

Weekend starts early with DJs at Revelry Room.

F3, a free national men’s workout group:

We meet at 5:30 am 3 days a week at 3 locations in West Seattle/White Center:

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.

Sacred Birth Prenatal Yoga Series

Mother Matricaria‘s five-week prenatal yoga series offer the opportunity to connect with the person you’re becoming, the life you’re growing, and a community of others embarking on this new threshold together. We’ll work on building strength to support the demands of pregnancy and labor, coming into alignment, and finding greater access to breath. And we’ll cap it off with a dreamy savasana, because pregnancy is basically like running a 40-week marathon.

We believe there is no right way to birth. Our classes are non-dogmatic and are aimed at deepening your connection with yourself while building a coping mindset so you can handle whatever comes your way.

What’s included:
-Five, 90-minute yoga classes with optional time to connect over tea after class
-Weekly check-ins sharing the joys and challenges of pregnancy with others who get it
-Themed classes offering opportunities for reflection, connecting with baby, and connecting with yourself as a parent
-Pregnancy- and birth-specific movements that empower you to find ease, strength, and balance in your body at any stage of pregnancy
-Access to a WhatsApp group to start building your local parenting community beyond class sessions
-Herbal extras for pregnancy and postpartum

Dates: Tuesdays, April 14-May 19 (no class on 4/28) and Tuesdays, May 26-June 23
Location: Sacred Growing Space, 7358 35th Ave SW
Cost: $130

The Seattle Branch of the Royal Scottish Country Dance Society is pleased to announce a new class in West Seattle, demonstrating its ongoing commitment to the promotion of Scotland’s unique dance form in the Seattle metro area.

The class welcomes both families and individuals ages eight and over, regardless of experience. This weekly introduction to joyful jigs, lively reels and elegant strathspeys will take place at Fauntleroy Church on Tuesday evenings from 7:00-9:00 beginning September 9th. The Church, located at 9140 California Avenue SW, has ample parking and is conveniently located on the RapidRide C line and a half mile from the Fauntleroy ferry terminal. Comfortable clothing permitting ease of movement, non-marking shoes and a good sense of humor are the only essentials for the class. An individual’s first class is free. Thereafter per class fees will be $10 and $5 for ages 8-17.

Seattle Branch Chair, EB Van Otterloo, will be one of the class instructors. Of Scottish Country Dancing, Van Otterloo says, “There are so many things to love about this form of dance. It’s social, but you don’t need to bring a partner. It’s good exercise for your body and your mind, and most of all, it is such good fun.”

Blaine Peet, who has taught Scottish Country Dancing around the world, will join Van Otterloo in teaching the new class. “Once you have learned the basics, you can dance with people anywhere across the U.S. and Canada, and around the globe. It’s a great way to make new friends in different cultures, no matter whether you are in Europe, Asia or Australia.”

The Seattle Branch has regular social events and runs classes in the U-District, at the Phinney Neighborhood Center and in Edmonds while also promoting classes in Tacoma, Burien and Mount Vernon, among others. More information is available at rscds-seattle.org/classes
