Many young creators, even students learning book binding. Zines, posters, anything printed.
Also service providers like
open studio
I attended this
talk by
Carletta Carrington Wilson,
Jane Carlin (Board of the Book Club of Washington and Puget Sound Book Artists), Jodee Fenton of
Aubergine Atelier (
chair of Northwest chapter of
Guild of Book Workers), Bonnie Thompson Norman of The Windowpane Press, and
Esther Ervin (a visual artist), ordered by seating in this photo (left to right).
I very much enjoyed the thought that went into each project. After the talk, we were able to flip through the books that they talked about, and ask questions in person. They are all very easy to talk to.
At 2:30pm,
Taha Ebrahimi (author of
Street Trees of Seattle) led a walking tour of the Cherry Hill neighborhood.
By the time I knew about this guided walk, the tickets were sold out.
So, I just went to the starting point and waited.
Not everyone showed up (as usual), so I got to go with the group.
Very much enjoyed her walk. She's loud and clear, very enthusiastic about trees and Seattle history.
She also made a zine of a map of our route!
We stopped at some very large trees (all non-native except for the maple):
Black Locust (fix nitrogen), a male palm tree full of flowers,
Lawson Cypress (thick bark, resistent to fire),
Western Red Cedar (not a cedar, funny looking seeds), Big Leave Maple, English Laurel,
Horse Chestnut (the inside of the flowers turn from yellow to red after being pollinated),
Incense Cedar (look at the young seed cones),
Manna Ash in full bloom across the street from Hugo House,
Golden Weeping Willow,
Some of these are no longer allowed to plant, need permit
Street Trees.
We also walked by the People Wall of the former Black Panther HQ, the restaurant where Martin Luther King ate, and the very first
first Judo Club in US.
Walking back to downtown along Boren Ave. Saw a row of pink flowered horse chestnut trees on University Ave. The inside is also yellow and red. What an amazing detail that I never noticed.
