West Seattle Community Day of Musical Instrument Donations to Music4Life
:
West Seattle Rotary Service Foundation (a tax-exempt org.)
Saturday, August 8, 2025 from 10 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.
Key Bank at Alaska Junction (Corner of California Ave SW & SW Alaska Street in West Seattle)

To receive and acknowledge donations of gently-used musical instruments for repair and refurbishing, to enable students in need to participate in school music programs.

Types of Instruments Needed:
All orchestra and band instruments, as well as guitars. Most needed: trumpets/coronets, clarinets, flutes, and violins.

Music4Life is a local nonprofit organization that puts instruments into the hands of students whose families cannot afford to rent or purchase, making it possible for them to participate in school music programs.

Many people have lovingly used musical instruments in their garages or attics, or in storage. When reminded, they ask themselves “Why am I still carting this instrument around?” Music4Life understands that some people have precious memories of their used musical instruments. We do not want a reluctant giver. We instead want donors who appreciate the unique value of instrumental music in the life and education of a child-and want all children regardless of family need, to experience it. Music4Life partners with preferred, local professional music repair shops for discounted restoration of these instruments. At last year’s event, we received 56 instruments to restore and distribute.

Seattle Parks and Recreation(SPR) invites the community to an update on the Westcrest Park restroom on Saturday, August 8, 2026, from 10 am to 12 pm. This is an opportunity to meet the design team and to learn about the replacement for the south restroom and restoration of the old play area location.

SPR is replacing the south restroom with a prefabricated facility that meets Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements. The SPR team will present the preferred location and design for the new restroom along with restoration options for the old play area footprint left after the former south play area was relocated in 2013. This is an opportunity to provide feedback on the preferred design before announcing the final design in the coming months.

Westcrest Park is located at 9000 8th Ave SW. Our team will be stationed off the south parking lot entrance at 8th Ave SW & SW Barton St for the event.

The Duwamish Valley community is invited to come together for the 19th Annual
Duwamish River Festival, a free, family-friendly celebration of culture, community, and environmental stewardship
on Saturday, August 8, 2026, from 12:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. at Duwamish River People’s Park and Shoreline
Habitat (8700 Dallas Ave S, Seattle, WA 98108).

This year’s festival is especially exciting as the Duwamish River Festival joins together with SoPaSuPa (South
Park Summer Party) and Cultivate South Park to create one unforgettable celebration for the entire Duwamish
Valley. Together, these community partners are bringing neighbors, families, youth, elders, artists, performers, and
local organizations together for an afternoon filled with music, dance, art, food, cultural traditions, storytelling,
environmental learning, and activities for all ages.

The Duwamish River Festival is more than an annual event—it is a celebration of the people who make the
Duwamish Valley strong. The festival honors the river that has shaped the region’s history while recognizing the
community’s ongoing commitment to restoring and protecting this vital waterway for future generations.
“The Duwamish River reminds us that we are all connected,” organizers shared. “As we gather along its shores, we
celebrate the resilience, diversity, and creativity of our communities, as well as the collective action that continues
to improve the health of our neighborhoods and our river.”

Throughout the day, attendees will experience performances representing the rich cultural diversity of the
Duwamish Valley, interactive environmental education, local artists and makers, community resources, youth
activities, and opportunities to connect with organizations working to advance environmental justice, public
health, and neighborhood resilience. The festival creates a welcoming space where people from every culture,
generation, and background can celebrate together, strengthen community connections, and imagine a brighter
future for the Duwamish Valley.

Community members from across the region are encouraged to attend this free event and be part of one of
Seattle’s longest-running celebrations of the Duwamish River and the communities that call its shores home.

Coriolanus
By William Shakespeare
Directed by Linda Lombardi

About the Play
In a deeply divided country, a fierce warrior seeks political office. But being consul requires Coriolanus use the art of compromise and flattery, not the art of war. When his pride and contempt for the people ignites the volatile relationship between the haves and have-nots, Coriolanus joins forces with Aufidius and the Volscian army. Rome’s greatest warrior becomes her greatest threat in Shakespeare’s most political play about pride, power, and identity.

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: 6:30 pm – 8:00 pm at Mama Be Well Healing Studio
Thursdays: 10 am – 11:30 am, same location, starting 6/4/26

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

Organizer Chris was inspired by a group he encountered during an extended stay in Mexico, “a weekly intercambio, or exchange, where Mexicans wishing to learn English and immigrants and tourists wishing to learn Spanish could practice speaking in a casual atmosphere in a cafe.” Upon return, he formed one, and now it meets twice weekly:

We began meeting on Wednesday nights upstairs at Mission Cantina about two months ago. Mission has truly made us feel at home and we regularly have between 5-15 attendees. One of our members started up a Monday night group upstairs at Future Primitive Brewing in White Center that is growing weekly. Other members have stepped up to be admins or to provide graphics.

We are a welcoming group wherever you are on your Spanish journey. Beginners get a chance to practice speaking with others. Intermediate speakers can learn with others. And more fluent speakers have enjoyed the chance to be able to speak Spanish with others. It has been impressive to see the patient good hearted people attending build a real sense of community.

We meet from 6:30-8:30 on Monday nights upstairs at Future Primitive Brewing at 9832 14th Ave SW in White Center. Farm Boy is closed that night, but you can bring in food from any place in White Center. The space is excellent for conversation.

We also meet from 6:30-8:30 on Wednesday nights upstairs at Mission Cantina at 2325 California Ave SW. You order your food or drink at the bar and they will bring it up to you.

If you are interested in joining us, please come! The only structure involved is to try and speak as much Spanish as you can. No RSVP is necessary and it is okay to arrive late if you need to. Gracias a todos!

Mondays: 6:30-10 pm
Open D&D

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

Free Yoga for 12-Step Recovery

Join us for FREE 90-minute Yoga for 12-Step Recovery (Y12SR.com) yoga sessions on Wednesdays from July 15 to August 26, 5-6:30 PM at Inner Alchemy Sanctuary & Studio, located at 3618 SW Alaska Street. IMPORTANT: Doors close at 4:55 PM!

Yoga for 12-Step Recovery is a step-based discussion and yoga practice that is open to anyone dealing with an addictive behavior or affected by the addictive behavior of others. It is open to everyone — all A’s (AA, NA, Al-anon, OA, etc) are welcome as well as people who are simply curious about step recovery. During sessions, we’ll weave together the ancient wisdom of yoga and the practical tools of 12-step programs, recognizing that the ‘”issues live in our tissues.”

The session starts with a 45-minute 12-step-style sharing circle where participants are invited to share on the theme presented or whatever they are experiencing. The circle is followed by a 45-minute gentle yoga session. While the poses are basic—no exotic poses—they may also be challenging as we follow two 12-step phrases: “Easy does it” and “It works if you work it.”
All are invited to monitor their bodies and to pull back when necessary, following the belief that those in recovery can go inward to connect with “the wisdom to know the difference” between challenge and unhealthy pain.

Registration is not necessary. Donations will be happily accepted, but as 12-step programs remind “your presence is more important than your money.” However, participants must arrive by 4:55. There can be no exceptions, unfortunately.

Facilitated by a certified yoga instructor and 12-Step recovery community member.

This summer we are offering registered Rock Climbing programs for $10 per person for one hour rock climbing sessions!

Organizer Chris was inspired by a group he encountered during an extended stay in Mexico, “a weekly intercambio, or exchange, where Mexicans wishing to learn English and immigrants and tourists wishing to learn Spanish could practice speaking in a casual atmosphere in a cafe.” Upon return, he formed one, and now it meets twice weekly:

We began meeting on Wednesday nights upstairs at Mission Cantina about two months ago. Mission has truly made us feel at home and we regularly have between 5-15 attendees. One of our members started up a Monday night group upstairs at Future Primitive Brewing in White Center that is growing weekly. Other members have stepped up to be admins or to provide graphics.

We are a welcoming group wherever you are on your Spanish journey. Beginners get a chance to practice speaking with others. Intermediate speakers can learn with others. And more fluent speakers have enjoyed the chance to be able to speak Spanish with others. It has been impressive to see the patient good hearted people attending build a real sense of community.

We meet from 6:30-8:30 on Monday nights upstairs at Future Primitive Brewing at 9832 14th Ave SW in White Center. Farm Boy is closed that night, but you can bring in food from any place in White Center. The space is excellent for conversation.

We also meet from 6:30-8:30 on Wednesday nights upstairs at Mission Cantina at 2325 California Ave SW. You order your food or drink at the bar and they will bring it up to you.

If you are interested in joining us, please come! The only structure involved is to try and speak as much Spanish as you can. No RSVP is necessary and it is okay to arrive late if you need to. Gracias a todos!

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.

New Land: Southeast Asian Refugees Finding Home in Washington
Thurs, Aug 13th
6-7 pm
Zoom (register HERE)

In 1975, Washington Governor Dan Evans watched in “stunned disbelief ” as the evening news broadcast desperate scenes in Saigon. CIA employees and South Vietnamese civilians were clamoring to board US helicopters as communist troops closed in on the capital. When California balked at resettling refugees, Governor Evans opened Washington’s door— wide. Since then, tens of thousands of Southeast Asians have made Washington home. They have raised families, worked hard, started businesses and enriched their communities in countless ways, weaving their cultures into the fabric of the Evergreen State. Based on new oral histories, New Land features compelling stories of courage, hope and resilience. First generation refugees and their descendants recount their experiences in the eventful half-century since those first arrivals.

Edward Echtle Jr, oral historian for Legacy Washington since 2023, was raised in Washington. He received a master’s degree in history from Western Washington University, with an emphasis on Pacific Northwest labor and immigration. Echtle previously worked as a freelance historical researcher and writer. Past projects include oral histories of Alaska salmon cannery union reformers, exhibit work with the Wing Luke Museum in Seattle, historical reports and interpretive displays for public agencies, and serving as Executive Director of the Bigelow House Museum in Olympia. Echtle is also a contributing author at Historylink.org and has produced historic context reports for environmental litigation, architectural surveys, and archaeological investigations.

Admiral District History Walking Tour

3rd Saturdays June-Sept, 10:00-12:00 pm (July tour moved to Sat, 7/25/26)

45th Ave SW and Seattle Street

The Duwamish Peninsula has been home to Coast Salish peoples at least as far back as the retreat of the last glacier 14,00 years ago. Despite the arrival of the colonial landing party, AKA the Denny Party, on Alki in 1851, the peninsula saw only scattered settlements in subsequent decades. In the late 19th century, European American settlers platted what is now the Admiral District.

Learn about the people who have lived along Duwamish head and Admiral district, attempts to erase Coast Salish people from residing here, and the annexation of “West Seattle” to the larger city in 1907. Stops include the Admiral Viewpoint Story Pole, Hainsworth House, the Benbow Room, West Seattle Library, the Admiral Theater, West Seattle High School, and the Sixth Church of Christ (home to the Washington Black Legacy Institute and the Seattle Griot Project).

End your tour with the Washington Black Legacy Institute and learn about their work preserving Seattle’s Black History.

The tour begins at Belvedere Park at the corner of 37th Ave and Admiral Way. Please consider parking in the neighborhood as parking at Belvedere Park is limited. Your tour ends at the Sanctuary at Admiral, known as the Sixth Church of Christ, which is about a ½ mile from your starting point.

Tours are offered every 3rd Saturday at 10:00 am and run until 12:00 pm. They include one and a half miles of walking and involve some elevation and disrupted walking paths.

To learn more and register for a walking tour, please visit: loghousemuseum.org
