Life In The Pacific Northwest
I’ve long been a customer of Edmonds Bookshop. I just read in the Seattle Times that Mary Kay and David Brewster are retiring. As sad as I’ll be to see Mary Kay move along, I’m pleased that long-time assistant manager Michelle Bear will step up and lead.
Hear’s to another 50 years!
We spent the evening down on Edmonds along the waterfront. Here are a few photos.
Friends and neighbors, Edmonds’ own Gothard Sisters released a new song this past week. I highly recommend giving them a listen. It’s a very pleasant and joyful one.
May you have a wonderous week.
The Edmonds Chamber of Commerce is having a terrible year, which pretty much all of their fundraisers cancelled due to Covid 19. And now, predictably, their highly valued Taste of Edmonds needs to be cancelled (King 5 has a good article about this). This puts a huge challenge on the Chamber, which is now struggling to survive this virus.
They haven’t given up, though. Capturing the long-stranding “Edmonds Kind Of Day” catchphrase, they’ve launched “Be An Edmonds Kind Of Hero“, to raise their operating funds. They have a goal of $100,000, and are already almost half-way there (as of August 8)! I believe in supporting them as they put on so many events that I value. The Edmonds Kind Of Fourth, the Christmas Tree Lighting, The Arts Festival…we usually go to every one of their events!
Now it’s time to step up and help. “I just donated to make sure our favorite Edmonds events return in 2021. You should, too! Click here to show your support.”
If you can help, please give what you can.
Today we went and got take-out from one of our favorite local places: Mel and Mia’s (they’re offering takeout and curbside pickup). In the madness of these times, it’s critical to support our local businesses. Especially those that you adore.
Check out the macaroon Rebecca crafted! Isn’t it stunning? One of many reasons why I love these folks.

In my non-ceasing efforts to discover and promote local musicians, here a cover of Pink’s “What About Us?” done by local artist Sydney Day. She’s most active on Facebook. Give her a listen on all her channels. It’s well worth your time.
And here’s her Soundcloud account. It’s been a bit since she’s posted here, but I enjoyed what’s here.
It’s upon us, the end of October and all the Halloween fun for the kids! Here’s my collection of fun, family events for the south Snohomish County region.
Have a fun, safe and delightful Halloween!
Hey Lynnwood & Edmonds area friends, a new local youth theater group, Bigfoot Players, is putting on Midsummer’s Night’s Dream this weekend. I have been helping them form the organization and been privy to all their hard work to bring this to life. I’m proud of all their hard work and passion bringing this together.
This link is for their performance schedule. It’s free in Lynndale park’s amphitheater. Check them out!
