Phinney Farmers Market needs you!
The ninth season of the Phinney Farmers Market opened on Friday, May 29.
This season, shoppers can expect to find
a wide variety of local organic veggies,
the season’s first local berries, Eastern
Washington fruit (think cherries!), wild
salmon, eggs, estate wines, craft brews,
honey from Greenwood hives, artisan
breads, ice cream, ginger beer and hot
to-go foods including Veraci pizza, East
Indian entrees, quesadillas, tamales, fish
tacos and Lebanese street food.
The Phinney Farmers Market is organized by the Neighborhood Farmers
Markets (NFM), a Seattle based nonprofit whose mission is to support local farms, educate the public about
the benefits of buying direct from local
farmers and increase food access to local low-income residents. The NFM has
been organizing and managing farmers
markets in Seattle for the past 22 years,
and currently manage farmers markets
in the U-District, West Seattle, Capitol
Hill, Columbia City, Lake City, Magnolia
and Phinney. In 2006, the NFM procured
grant funding from the Washington State
Department of Agriculture to open the
Phinney Farmers Market. Every season,
they maintain contracts with local farmers and vendors, acquire all the permits
and insurance necessary for operations,
fund and execute marketing and promotion, sponsor weekly entertainment and
special events and provide day-of management.
More than 6,500 farmers markets
have opened nationwide since the mid90s. However, the increasing popularity
of farmers markets is in direct contrast
with their surprisingly high closure rate.
Close to 25 percent of new markets close
after their first year! The Phinney Farmers Market has operated since 2007, but
we are not out of danger when it comes
to losing our market.

President’s Corner
PNA does the work
of connecting us
Walking around the neighborhood
recently, I was talking with a friend
about how lucky we are to live in such
a great place. It’s a privilege, really. The
people are welcoming, the businesses
are friendly and helpful. The arts community is thriving. I’ve also noticed that
I recognize, greet and am greeted by
more and more of the people who live
and work here.
Thinking about it, I was a little
surprised. It’s certainly unique among
the towns and neighborhoods I’ve lived
in. When I arrived back here with my
husband Kerry, it took almost no time
to settle in and start making friends.
Why is that? In a flash of insight, I think
I know!
In most places, engaging with a
Jan Gray

President
new community is work—well, maybe
not work exactly—but a real effort. In
our neighborhood (and I define that
broadly) the PNA welcomes everybody
and does the organizing work to connect us all.
Sure, we provide great classes, preschools, a bustling Senior Center and
the PNA Village to keep us in our homes
as long as we care to stay, but I think
what draws us in and helps us connect
are the events and activities that originate with community member input.
For example, Pride Rainbow Hop,
a family-friendly day of fun and support for LGBTQ family and friends, was
developed by local businesses and is
supported and promoted by the PNA
Business Group. Art Up PhinneyWood,
the Gumshoe 5K, PhinneyWood Summer Streets, the PNA Tool Lending
Library and the King County Seed
Lending Library all came about because
someone dared to dream big and found
the support to make their dream a reality. Programs and activities that are “by
the people, for the people” are what
our community is all about. If you have a
new idea, partnership or program you’d
like to see happen, reach out to the
PNA. You can also help guide the direction of the PNA by taking part in our
planning survey at phinneycenter.org.
And, of course, get connected and take
advantage of your neighbors’ great
ideas by attending an event or activity
this summer!

PhinneyWood Summer Streets
Annual event fills 17 blocks of PhinneyWood with activities
By Bryan Miller, co-owner,
Naked City Brewery
This year’s PhinneyWood Summer
Streets is shaping up to be a happening day! On Saturday, Aug. 8, the ‘hood
will be hopping with two music stages
and over 30 family-friendly activities,
performances and sidewalk sales. Best
of all, it’s free!
The neighborhood street fair will
see Greenwood Avenue from 70th87th shut down to cars and open to
pedestrians, skates and bikes from 125pm. At 70th Street, the South Music
Stage, sponsored by Umpqua Bank,
will host School of Rock-trained musicians alongside a kid-friendly headliner,
The Not-Its! At 87th Street, the North
Music Stage, sponsored by Verity Credit
Union, will host a rock headliner to-beannounced alongside School of Rock
bands. These teenagers shred note-perfect covers and original tunes. Someday,
we’ll be talking about the rock star we
first saw perform at age 12 at PhinneyWood Summer Streets.
In between the rock ‘n’ roll, an eclectic mix of activities for adults and kids
will stretch down Greenwood Avenue—
from a dog agility course hosted by
Mud Bay, to expert skateboard performances from Motion Board Shop, to a
BBQ smoke-off at Martino’s. Adults and
kids alike will enjoy dance performanc-

es from American Dance Institute, live
art at Urban Lights Studio, and youth
and adult divisions for the Greenwood
Street Soccer Tournament. There will
also be a robust Senior Resources Fair.
Kid-friendly activities include bicycle
obstacle courses for all ages in front
of G&O Family Cyclery, face-painting
and creative activities at Illuminations
Learning Studio, art activities at Seattle
ReCreative, book-mark making at the
Greenwood Library, and many more.
Also, check out the shiny red truck at
the Fire Department and all the beauti-
ful pianos spread out in front of A-1.
Adults strolling along Greenwood
might enjoy a craft class at The Knitting Gallery, then a cold craft beer at
the street beer garden near the North
Music Stage. Stop by Valentine’s for a
haircut with a live DJ, peruse the sidewalk sales at Labels and Phinney Books,
and enjoy a bistro lunch outside at Olive
& Grape. Even the Free Masons are
opening their doors for public tours.
At the heart of PhinneyWood Summer Streets is a charitable cause. The
Greenwood Street Soccer Tournament,
now in its fourth year, raised over
$6,000 in a single day last year for the
Innovators Network at Fred Hutchinson
Cancer Research Center. This year’s
goal is to raise $10,000 for cutting-edge
cancer research through player’s fees,
donation stations, a major raffle and $1
from every pint sold in the beer garden.
PhinneyWood Summer Streets is
planned, organized and executed by the
PNA Business Group.
The full Summer Streets activity map
will be available at phinneycenter.org/
summerstreets.

There’s much more than delicious produce at the Phinney Farmers Market.
Farmers Market needs continuing support
Continued From Page 1
Most farmers market close because not
enough people turn out to support them.
But that is not the case at the Phinney
Farmers Market. We have actually seen an
increase in the number of visitors to the
market. In 2014, on average, 1,500 people
visited the market each week; unfortunately, sales per visitor have declined each
year since we’ve been open. Last year, visitors spent 18 percent less than they had
just a few years before, and two farmers
were forced to stop coming because they
just didn’t have enough sales.
To keep our market strong and viable,
we need to reverse this trend. Help us
keep our market this summer and for
many summers to come.
Please show your support for the Phinney Farmers Market in 2015!
• Make the Phinney Farmers Market
a regular Friday night stop. Get your
weekend produce, plan your Saturday
night dinner party, buy a bottle of wine,
a loaf of bread AND a flat of berries.
• Do your best to support the hard working farmers who drive long distances
and make huge sacrifices to be in our
neighborhood and in our lives. Support
local farmers!
• And PLEASE complete the 2015 Phinney
Farmers Market Survey via this link
before June 30: http://ow.ly/NNtvZ.
The Phinney Farmers Market runs Fridays
May 29 through Sept. 25, 3–7 pm, and
features over 30 farms, artisan foods and
prepared food vendors.
Please share your opinion!
Help us out and complete our short customer
survey by June 30 at http://ow.ly/NNtvZ

PNA Auction hits the jackpot!
Thank you to the generous sponsors, donors,
dessert makers, bidders and volunteers who
made this year’s PNA auction a winning success!
Together we raised more than $105,000, including $37,500 in direct donations to support the

outpouring of generosity we are one step closer
to installing our elevator and adding a ramped
entryway, community plaza and accessible restrooms to our Brick Building.

Building for everyone
Campaign for
accessibility is in
full swing!
We are just a stone’s throw away from
being able to fully fund the elevator,
community plaza, ramped entryway and
accessible bathrooms in our Brick Building thanks to supporters like you. We’re
so close we can almost hear the ding of
the elevator as the doors slide open to
carry building guests from floor to floor!
We are excited to announce that BNBuilders has been hired as the contractor for this project. BNBuilders worked
on the capital improvements in the Blue
Building and did an amazing job, and
we’re thrilled to be working with them
again.
We are optimistic about the $750,000
that the Heritage Capital Projects
Fund has allocated for our project,
which is still awaiting final approval in
the state budget. The legislature has
headed into a special session and the
to-do list is weighty. The House and Senate must work out their differences on
the state budget, education spending
and a transportation package. However,
they do seem to agree on support for
the Heritage Capital Projects Fund. We’ll
continue to monitor the activity in Olympia and will keep you informed as the
session moves forward. We are also delighted to announce
that our Viva Las Vegas Auction’s “funda-dream” raised $37,400 to support the
campaign! Because of this outpouring of
generosity we are one step closer to our
goal, but we still need all the help we can
get. You can support the campaign with a
one-time gift, a monthly/quarterly/yearly recurring payment, or a pledge dispersed over one or two years. We happily accept gifts of cash, check, credit card,
mutual fund, stock and life insurance.
If you would like to discuss the campaign
face-to-face and learn more about the
details, contact Development Director
Amy Besunder at amyb@phinneycenter.

The PNA will update the 1918 building with accessibility improvements, while maintaining its national historic status.
Brick Building has always been about meeting changing needs
Thanks to the generous support of
the PNA community, the Brick Building,
long an architectural fixture of neighborhood, is preparing for a new, accessible
makeover. The facility, built in 1918, was
designed from the start to meet the
needs of an ever changing community.
As Seattle’s population surged in the
early twentieth century, so too did the
student population, nearing 39,000 students in 1919. Enrollment soon overwhelmed the original Allen School facility (the Blue Building), and the Brick
Building was constructed as a much
needed expansion.
Though the two facilities were constructed little more than a decade apart,
their designs differ greatly, offering a
glimpse into the period’s changing notions of how academic building design
could facilitate learning. Along with a
switch from wood to “fire-proof” brick,
the new building emphasized efficiency;

Building’s new ramped entryway.
classrooms were laid out in an orderly,
linear fashion, allowing for greater ventilation, access to natural light, and ease
of use.
In an interesting historical corollary,
the design of the building was influenced
by WWI. Seattle’s industrial growth dur-
ing the period attracted scores of workers and their families to the area, necessitating the construction of several
new school facilities, including the Brick
Building. At the same time, there was a
premium put on building materials for
the war effort, and as a result the Brick
Building was constructed with a minimum of architectural ornamentation.
Enrollment in the Allen School peaked
in 1932-33, when 758 students attended
classes on the property. After decades of
declining enrollment, the Seattle School
District closed the Allen School in 1981.
The PNA soon leased the property as a
community facility, and purchased the
site in 2009. Hopefully 2015 will be the
year the Brick Building becomes fully
accessible, creating a welcoming space
that allows people of all ages and ability
to gather and share their lives, ideas and
experiences.
Giving to non-profits in your will creates a lasting legacy
When it comes to leaving a gift in
your will, typically your first priority will
be family and friends. However, many
people also leave gifts to nonprofit organizations – known as legacies – in their
wills.
Legacies are an essential source of income for most nonprofits. They are the
gifts that preserve community resources
and services for future generations.
Studies show that more than a third
of people who support nonprofits say
they will leave a gift in their will after
family and friends have been provided
for. Unfortunately, just seven percent of
people actually get around to doing it.
Planned gifts can be game-changing
for a nonprofit. They can be used to sustain programs or facilities, add capacity,
establish endowments, or launch major
new initiatives. For example, almost ten
years ago, a former program participant
left a bequest that continues to provide
for outings for seniors to this day!

More than a hot meal
Keeping humanity legal in our local community
By Patrick Dunn
Ever thought you could get arrested
for feeding the homeless? In just the last year alone, 33 U.S. cities have enacted bans on publicly giving out free food, often suggesting that
the bans are simply a more humane
way of making homelessness less appealing. No, this isn’t a satirical headline
from The Onion, and luckily for our PhinneyWood community, Seattle isn’t one
of these misguided municipalities. While there are certainly issues
around homelessness in Seattle that
desperately need to be addressed, it’s
also reassuring to look around our local
community and recognize a few of the
PNA partnerships that are continuing to
blossom and help support our neighbors
in need.
PNA’s efforts on this front are centered around the award-winning Hot
Meal Program, which has been operating in one form or another for over 30
years, providing around 20,000 free
meal to our community each year.
More than just a nice bit of grub, the
Hot Meals Program frequently partners
with Neighborcare Health to offer diners basic health services such as blood
pressure checks and nutrition counseling. It also helps guide those same diners toward area food banks, shelters and
other services.
Collaboration between food banks –
including the Ballard Food Bank, Volunteers of America Food Bank and Phinney
Ridge Food Bank – helps to ensure that
these independently run operations are
able to team up to address occasional
supply issues, whether of shortage or
abundance. This cooperation means
that clients are able to receive the full
benefits of both the warmth of a freshly
cooked hot meal and the convenience of
more durable food supplies.
But perhaps the most pressing need
for our homeless population is the basic
necessity of shelter. As our city struggles
with this issue, many local churches
have valiantly come forward to fill that
need. PNA is proud to work with such
local churches as St. John United Lutheran, St. John’s Catholic, and Emmanuel
Bible Church, who all offer shelter services. While the churches host the shelter services, PNA coordinates volunteers
to supply the guests with food.
Through these collaborations and the
efforts of hundreds of volunteers, our
local community seems a very long way
from declaring homelessness a crime; in
fact, it seems we’re actually headed in
just the opposite direction. As our community continues to grow and prosper,
our many neighborhood programs ensure that our most vulnerable neighbors
will benefit from neighborly generosity.
We figure that is likely a far more suitable definition of humanity.
If you’re interested in volunteering
with the Hot Meal Program or the delivery of supplies to area shelters, contact
LeAnne Chow at [email protected] or visit PNA’s volunteer portal at
phinneycenter.org/volunteer.
The ties that bind
A connected community creates quality of life in the city
By Darcy Noonan
“To be rooted is perhaps the most important and least recognized need of the
human soul.” -Simone Weil. I came across the question recently,
“Are cities good for you?” With the U.N.
reporting that more than half of the
world’s population are now living in urban centers, it’s a question being asked
by policy makers around the globe. Industrialization, homelessness, rising
crime rates: the nightly news would lead
one to believe that cities are all headed
for the Gotham depicted in the Batman
movies, when the truth is that living in a
city is really, really good for you. City living puts us in close proximity
to a wide range of people, and the relationships we form with our neighbors
greatly influence personal and societal
health. In any urban setting you’ll find
both “weak ties,” the passing acquaintances with friends of friends, people at
the gym, or people at work, and “strong
ties,” the bonds we form with close family and friends. While “weak ties” can
help us generate a network of information and resources, they can leave us
feeling lonely and disconnected: the Seattle Freeze, anyone?
On the other hand, “strong ties”
sustain and strengthen us. In fact, on
average, those who have “strong ties,”
or people who can bring meals, loan
money, or offer emotional support, increase their survival advantage by two
years. Those without such connections
are faced with the same health risks as
a pack a day cigarette habit. None of us
can go it alone. Creating roots, and strong ties,
means becoming one of the characters in the story of the neighborhood where we find ourselves. When
asked in a study, one out of three people, from Millennials to Gen-Xers to
Boomers, said they valued creating public spaces with flexible uses like classes
and pop-up shops. Such spaces, like the
PNA, encourage us to make the ties with
our neighbors and communities that in
turn support our own social and emotional health.
Sixty percent of American city dwellers see themselves living in urban areas long term. This means that for better
or worse, your neighbors are probably
staying. What kind of ties will you create with them? I choose to be part of the
PNA because living in a city and being
part of a strong, connected community
is good for me. Darcy Noonan is the cafe manager of
the Port & Anchor, a community living
room on 50th. She can often been seen
running late for yoga. The Review • Summer 2015 • Page 7

Meet Village
member Ann
Rodgers and her
feathered friends
Village member Ann Rodgers treasures her walks around
Green Lake. So when she came
to the point where she knew it
would be best to no longer walk
alone, she turned to Village volunteers for help. You’ve probably seen her on the cover of our
brochure, walking with volunteer
Kelly Maddox. Appreciating the
depth and beauty of life is part
of rich aging, and part of what
the Village seeks to nurture and
encourage. Ann shared with us
this photo of birds lighting on her
hand to feed. On this day, she was
doing an impromptu “bird walk”
with volunteer/member Laurel
Walden, who took the photo.
“It’s a real thrill,” Ann said, “to
have them just come so close this
way.” Life, well lived, with the
companionship of Village members and volunteers – and a few
small friends.

Growing recognition
Summer in the Village…with a lot going on!
By Marguerite Langlois
On April 26, 85 people came together
to celebrate the third anniversary of the
Village. It felt like “homecoming:” the
buzz of friendly conversation, newcomers warmly welcomed, delicious food
and hearty applause as Janice Dilworth,
Director, and Terry Cook, Board President, shared statistics and information
about our accomplishments and growth.
Some of the highlights, pointed toward
our future, included the following.
Fall prevention class: The first session
of “A Matter of Balance” class concluded
in April, and the second is in process.
Response has been so positive that we
are going to repeat the classes next year
as well. Students commented enthusiastically on the new ideas, practical approaches and confidence building they
experienced in the class.
The Village on TV! Did you catch us
on KCTS 9’s “In Close” program on April
30? The Village was featured as part of
a segment on various aspects of aging
today, and was great exposure for the
program! If you missed it, you can see
the program online – and share it with
others – on the KCTS website at: kcts9.
org/programs/in-close/life-culture/ittakes-village.
UC Berkeley selects us: We were selected to be one of 25 villages studied by
UC Berkeley’s Center for the Advanced
Study of Aging Services. The study will
gather evidence about how Villages can
help older adults live well in their own
homes. We’ll benefit from getting guidance on our policies and programs, and
we can also use the study’s data when
applying for funding. The study is just
beginning, but already we are hearing
repeatedly about our wonderful volunteers and the experience of aging in
community and not feeling alone. The
study will eventually be extended to all
Villages nationwide.

you age? Concerned about a loved one
staying at home? Want to volunteer
in a growing, dynamic community?

Digging deep for homeless youth
Volunteers create abundant garden with help of PNA Tool Library
By Alex Gramps
“What were those long green
things?” the young woman asked. “They
were really good!” Volunteer Fred Miller
looked around the garden at Labateyah
Residential Transitional Youth Home,
and pulled a snow pea off a nearby vine.
The young woman was delighted; she
had never seen or tasted a snow pea
before. For many of the young people
living at Labateyah, the organic garden
that surrounds the home is the first time
they’ve seen fresh food growing where
they lived.
Seattle’s Labateyah Youth Home is a
25-bed transitional housing project for
homeless young people ages 18-23. The
word “labateyah” means “the transformer” in the Lushootseed language,
an apt name for a facility that helps residents move from homelessness towards
self-sufficiency. The home is run by the
United Indians of All Tribes Foundation,
which is headquartered at the Daybreak
Star Indian Cultural Center. Youth at Labateyah work with case managers and
must complete at least 30 hours per
week of combined work, school and
chores.
In late 2013, Fred decided to convert Labateyah’s lawn into a vegetable
garden. He and a group of volunteers
broke ground using tools from the PNA
Tool Library. Fred runs the garden on a
tiny budget; he says he’d hate to spend
money on a tool he’d only use once or
twice. Whenever he’s working on a new
project, Fred turns to the PNA to borrow
tools that would otherwise cost the program a lot of money.
Fred describes himself as “a garden
nut and a community nut.” His vision
for the garden is to give the youth at
Labateyah a closer connection to their
food, opportunities to dig in the dirt,
and a way to feel more connected to the
community around them. Helping him
achieve this vision are two interns from
other youth shelters in the region, who
receive career counseling when they
aren’t working in the garden.
Residents are welcome in the garden anytime and can work or not work
as they please. Fred is glad gardening is
not a chore; even though it means more
work for him and his crew, he thinks it’s
re
t He
Star
.

h
t Rig

important to keep the garden fun for
the youth.
The garden produces about 1,000
pounds of vegetables per year, and most
go straight into the Labateyah kitchen
for the residents’ meals. Whatever they
can’t use is donated to food banks,
which are often low on fresh produce.
Fred is always looking for volunteer
gardeners. He and his interns are in the
garden most Mondays, Wednesdays
and Saturdays from 1-5 pm. If you’d like
to volunteer, you can email Fred at [email protected] or message him on
Facebook—search “Labateyah Garden.”
The PNA Tool Lending Library, located
in the Phinney Center’s Brick Building,
shares thousands of tools with our neighbors to help them do that job right! PNA
members may borrow tools for a modest
suggested weekly tool maintenance fee. Reduced tool fees are available for lowincome households. Visit phinneycenter.

In the Time Travel Through Greenwood workshop, students from The
Greater Seattle Bureau of Fearless Ideas visted the PNA to learn shocking
secrets of Greenwood’s past and see some historical characters.
Imagination unleashed
Creating connections through writing
By Jennie Shortridge
Early in March, 15 third- to fifth-graders from Greenwood’s Bureau of Fearless Ideas (BFI) (formerly known as 826
Seattle) tromped the halls of the Phinney Center, on a walking tour of the historic neighborhood photos that dot its
walls. Then they settled into a classroom
to write their own creative time travel
stories back in time, and in many cases,
forward to the future.
As a long time 826 and now BFI volunteer, I was their tour guide. A writer myself, history has always fascinated me,
so I jumped at the chance to teach this
workshop, especially when I found out
we’d get to do our “research” at PNA.
True, most of the students veered directly from 1859 to the future of robots
and rockets, but they were also fascinated by the images of children like them
40, 50, 100 years earlier, looking much
the same but using horse-drawn wagons
or trolleys for transportation, wearing
“old school” clothes and experiencing a
very different Greenwood.
It’s this kind of awakening to the
world and its history that jumpstarts
the imagination. If this is how far we’ve
come, what might be next? And when
it’s kids’ imaginations, you can imagine
the possibilities. Thanks to the people at
Microsoft’s new app, Sway, you can actually see and hear how it all went down
online at ow.ly/MITie.
This is BFI’s 10th year of inspiring kids
to write, and my 10th year volunteering
there. I was lucky to become involved
when my husband and I first moved to
Seattle. Over the years a lot has happened. I’ve had five novels published,
discovered a wonderful writing community, and co-founded (with author Garth
Stein) another nonprofit that is also
closely aligned with PNA. Seattle7Writers is a collective of over 70 area authors
who are dedicated to raising money and
awareness for literacy in our community, and to creating connections between
readers and writers, independent booksellers and libraries.
Each November, Seattle7Writers
holds its annual Holiday Bookfest at the
Bestselling author Jennie Shortridge
is a long-time BFI volunteer and workshop teacher. She loves writing with
other writers of all ages
Phinney Center. With 20 to 30 authors in
attendance, chatting and signing books,
plus author readings, entertainment
and author-baked goodies, it’s become
one of our favorite ways to connect
with the hundreds of readers who stop
by. We could have picked any location,
but the richly hued wooden halls of this
old school and its history captured our
imagination.
Each year, a local independent bookseller works with us, and donates a percentage of the proceeds to both PNA
and BFI, a win for all. Carol Santoros
sold books until shuttering Santoros
Books, and now Secret Garden Books
has stepped in to fill her very large and
knowledgeable shoes.
One community center, many connections! Long live PNA, BFI and Seattle7Writers, all keeping our reading and
writing community strong now and into
the future.
And that’s a future we can all look forward to.
Jennie Shortridge is the bestselling author of five novels, including Love Water
Memory and When She Flew.

2015: Our 23rd year of car show fever.
And no way it’s cooling down anytime soon.
So drink lots of fluids. Get plenty of rest.
See you at the Greenwood Car Show.
Stylish 1931 Stutz Boattail Speedster
brings Great Race history to
the Greenwood Car Show
By Gary Haarsager
The Great Race is an unusual sort of
beast. For one thing, the maximum speed
is 50 mph. (Where’s the racing part?)
For another, the racing teams compete
for a week or more on public highways
across the United States; no race tracks.
For Doug LeMay, of the LeMay Family
Collection Foundation, the 2006 Great
Race was “a really fun road trip and a
once-in-a-lifetime experience.”
Except that Doug and friend, John Kehl,
raced the year before in another car from the
LeMay collection, a 1957 Rambler Custom.
was a 1974 Dodge ClubCab Adventurer.
“This time,” Doug said, “going bigger
was definitely better with more people —
and even more fun than before.”
The 2006 Great Race began June 24th
in Philadelphia, PA and finished 15 days
later in San Rafael, CA. Each race day, the
driver and navigator would study a 20-to36-page booklet of detailed instructions to
follow for that day’s leg of the race. The
duo would then drive to their starting
position; that was determined by drawing
a number the day before.
More classic vehicles on display from
friends of the LeMay Family Collection
Ask Nancy LeMay about LeMay volunteers
and you’ll hear lots of kudos about all they
do to help make the LeMay Family Collection
a real gem in the Pacific Northwest.
Three LeMay volunteers will have their
pride and joys on display at the car show
along with the 1931 Stutz DV32. Stop by for
a chat; every classic ride does tell a story.
John Knudson also had his hand in getting
this 1966 Ford Mustang Coupe running for his
then teenage daughter some 25 years ago.
A few years later, Mike Thompson, a
friend of John’s and a LeMay volunteer,
bought it to be his daughter’s daily driver.
More was done to the car. Eventually,
Mike’s daughter moved on to something
else, and the Mustang came back to him.
The car had seen better days; decades
of wear and tear will do that. For reasons
sentimental to the two families, restoration
was started by Mike in 2014. Paint, chrome,
interior, wheels and tires were done. And
the original six-cylinder engine was replaced
with a Ford 302-cid V-8, 220+ bhp.
There’s more on the Mustang to-do list.
But isn’t that the way it is with classic rides?
1940 Chevrolet 1/2-Ton Pickup
Owner: John Knudson; Ballard, WA
A few of the LeMay team at the 2006
Great Race. (L to R): Glen Hastings,
John Kehl, Kitty Hammer, Doug LeMay.
Nonetheless, the 2005 race was so cool,
the car guys wanted to do it again and share
their twice-in-a-lifetime adventure with others.
The car to race? A rare 1931 Stutz DV32
with a 156 bhp, DOCH 32-valve in-line 8 engine
designed by Fred Duesenberg. Another feature
— the dual spare tires mounted in the side
fender wells — came in handy when the
LeMay team faced three flats during the race.
The Great Race has been running every
year in the summertime since 1982. Lasting
a week or more, it involves scores of
antique, vintage and collector vehicles all
competing in a controlled-speed road rally.
It tests the ability of a driver/navigator
team to follow precise course instructions
and the vehicle’s capability to power through
a sometimes grueling cross-country trip.
In 2006, Doug organized a race team of
ten LeMay volunteers who would be spread
out across the country. They would spell off
one another as drivers, navigators or support
crew staffing the team’s service truck, which
The 1931 Stutz DV32 Boattail
Speedster, bought by the late
Harold LeMay in 1995, was the first
Stutz to compete in the Great Race.
Another angle to this race was that
navigational devices, cell phones and
watches weren’t allowed; the team only had
a Great Race-calibrated speedometer and
a stop watch. Add in various issues with the
Stutz Boattail, such as brake failure and a
failed electric fuel pump, and the LeMay crew
had quite the adventure, to say the least.
When asked if he would do the Great
Race a third time, Doug LeMay said “It
was an awesome experience. But I’m not
sure it could be any more memorable
than it was in 2006. But you never know.”
Look for the 1931 Stutz DV32 as well as
the 1940 Chevy Truck, 1966 Mustang Coupe
and 1967 Mustang Coupe along Greenwood
Avenue North and North 76th Street.
In 2012, LeMay volunteer John Knudson
found this 1940 Chevy pickup tucked away
in a garage in Spokane. The body was in
perfect condition with no rust and some
restoration had been done. But the engine
wasn’t running.
No problem. John bought the truck and,
with his grandson’s help, trailered it more
than 280 miles to Seattle. He rebuilt it
completely, including brakes, steering and
wiring. John also tried out four engines
before settling on one he liked, a GMC
heavy-duty 253-cid straight-six. Today it’s
John’s daily driver, and he’s loving it.
A 2012 video about the Greenwood
Car Show includes an interview with John.
See it at GreenwoodCarShow.com.
1967 Ford Mustang Coupe
Owner: Todd Perrault; Kirkland, WA
This 1967 Ford Mustang Coupe is kind
of a “celebrity”: It has appeared on cable TV’s
History channel show, Counting Cars, in a
2014 episode titled “Mustang Memories.”
The classic ride has been in the Jeannine
Ryan family since day one, from grandmother
to daughter Karen Perrault to the grandson
and LeMay volunteer, Todd Perrault.
Count’s Kustoms of Las Vegas transformed
the daily driver into a one-of-a-kind street
machine with a BluePrint Engines 331
stroker, 375 bhp and 390 foot-pounds of
torque. Inside and out, it’s something else.
Or, as Jeannine Ryan commented on
the Counting Cars episode, “This is not
grandma’s old car anymore.”

Patios & Decks
Hecho
of PhinneyWood
By Jeff Cornejo
My birthday was on a Monday this
year; it was a dreary May afternoon and
I had to work, but I took a page from
Gandhi’s book and decided to become
the sunshine I wished to see in Seattle.
I embarked on a tour of PhinneyWood’s
patios and decks, determined to find a
place with great drinks, a place I could
revisit once the sun was back in full
force. Whether people watching alone
or passing the time with a group of
friends, PhinneyWood has the right patio or deck for you.
The Park Pub (#21)
With one of my favorite people watching
patios on the Ridge, The Park Pub gets
great happy hour sunlight, and their
seasonal cocktail menu always hits the
spot. Lindsey the bartender gave me
a sneak peek of their summer menu,
whipping me up a cilantro-jalapeño
margarita, a spicy twist on a summer
classic made with fresh squeezed juice
and homemade sour mix. I then had a
“James’ Awakening” served straight up
with an orange peel - a less dry take on
a Manhattan. A little known fact about
this neighborhood spot: Mac and Jack’s
African Amber was originally brewed for
the Park Pub in 1993.
El Chupacabra (#15)
Serving fresh, homemade Mexican food
on the Ridge for 10 years, the deck at
El Chupacabra is perfect for a round of
drinks (or two) with friends—try the nofrills Mint Julep, one of the best I’ve had
in years. What’s great about this place is
that the deck stays warm long after the
sun has dipped behind the Ridge’s edge.
It’s best to get here early though, as the
patio fills up quickly and the margaritas
will make you want to linger.
Hecho (#10)
The back patio at Hecho is beautiful,
balancing old-world Mexican and contemporary aesthetics; it feels like you’re
at a romantic getaway amidst a fresh
herb garden encircled by fairy lights. Everything is handmade on site-even the
bar was mostly built by hand! Hecho is a
perfect spot for a date, and though the
bartender made me a stellar margarita,
I later found out that the sangria is the
main attraction, and you can order it by
the liter.
Naked City Brewery & Tap House (#3)
When I got to the Walrus Beer Garden
at Naked City, I ran into Don Webb, one
of the owners, taking a break with Lead
Brewer Isaac Hatter. With 24 taps in
house, and an additional 13 built specifically for The Walrus Beer Garden, I
found myself in beer bliss surrounded
by vibrant art and good company. You
can spend hours at Naked City without
realizing it. The food is delicious and
their list of events and engagements
are impressive. If I’m not already there
with a group of friends, I know I’ll end
up making new ones-it’s just that kind
of a place.

homemade sour mix for a cilantro-jalapeño margarita.

Don't Rain On My Parade
By Vicki Hoyt, Parade Director
I can’t wait for this year’s Annual Greenwood Seafair
Parade. Emmy Award winning MJ McDermott, Channel
13’s morning Meteorologist, will be joining us as our
Grand Marshal; so obviously our theme has to be “Don’t
Rain on My Parade”.
With MJ's community service minded personality and
previous theatre experience, I was surprised when she MJ McDermott
told me this would be her first parade as a Grand Marshal. 2015 Parade Grand Marshal
We are thrilled that she has chosen the 65th Annual
Greenwood Seafair Parade as her first.
Our generous group of sponsors has returned again to provide you with our fun-filled
entertaining tradition. Please support their businesses and let them know how much fun
your family had at the parade.
Special thanks to Fred Meyer for returning as our Presenting Sponsor! Without their
leadership we could not produce our parade each year to such a high standard. Thanks
to Ann Woodward for serving as the Director of Development this year working with the
sponsors!
There is a terrific team of volunteers who put this event together for you. Thanks go to
Ruthie MacDonald, who co-chaired the parade for 17 years and continues to be essential
in several areas of parade production, Linda Teachout tallies the points for the trophies;
Dave Liatos and Shane Topal coordinate, set up and take down the grandstand, Peter
Nolte takes care of the sound system and Linda Pike is our judges’ assistant. There are so
many more that help with the parade but are too numerous to name. You all deserve a
special thank you for your dedication to the parade and our community.
The Seafair Parade Marshals have been assisting our community for over 50 years in
the production of this event and have generously signed on to be a Bronze sponsor for the
parade this year. Thank you for all you do to support this event. And of course we could
not do any of this without the support and sanctioning of Seafair.
Have a great evening at the parade this year.
Happy summer

A-1 Piano
In the neighborhood since 1958, A-1
Piano is quickly becoming a community
hub, thanks to Bret and Sunny Mulholland,
Shane Oliver, and their staff. Improving the
atmosphere of their shop, updating their
operations and acquiring an exclusive
Baldwin Piano franchise, Bret and Sunny
have their sights on giving back to the
community.
Before Bret’s return to the family
business in 2010, everything was still done
by hand, there were no computers, and
the business was slowing down. “It needed
love,” said Sunny, who started with little
changes; like removing the antique clowns
that used to haunt the windows, along
with the ceramic dogs that lined their
showroom, “I was interested in seeing a
family business succeed,” she told me.
A-1 Piano Sales & Rentals, Inc. is
pleased to be back as a Platinum Sponsor
for this year’s Greenwood Seafair Parade,
Don’t Rain on My Parade!
A-1 Piano goes ape for Greenwood parade
Plans are underway to showcase the

they’ll have another award winning float

doesn’t
hap-pen by accident, chance

because like-minded people
care enough about it to create

and arts organizations and
countless volunteers that make
so many wonderful community
events possible, including the

Remembering Hydroplane History
Participating
in
the
Greenwood Seafair Parade
as a sponsor is more than
just good ol’ fun. It’s one
of the many ways PEMCO
and its employees celebrate
their local roots and history
as a company that’s proud
to be part of the Northwest
community.
Employees have long
enjoyed walking in the
Greenwood Seafair Parade,
watching the Blue Angels perform, and
attending signature Seafair events like the
Pirates’ Landing at Alki. The company has
another historic Seafair tie, too: Famous
hydroplanes that appeared in Seafair races
in the 50s and 60s were once housed in
what later became one of PEMCO’s storage
buildings. Communications Manager Jon
Osterberg recently confirmed that some
of the sport’s most-revered boats were
based in those buildings before PEMCO
bought it.
The storage building, built in 1953,
originally housed the offices of M.
Lamont “Monte” Bean, president and
chairman of Pay’n Save Corporation.
Bean sponsored the Miss Pay’n Save,
which won the 1959 Apple Cup on Lake
Chelan. Miss Pay’n Save was bought
by Milo and Glen Stoen of Seattle and
renamed Miss Seattle Too, and it won
the 1960 Diamond Cup on Lake Coeur
d’Alene. Sadly, Seattle Too is better
Hawaii Kai at PEMCO shop
known for disintegrating into a thousand
pieces during the 1962 Gold Cup on Lake
Washington.
Seattle Too’s carcass was salvaged
and brought to the Minor Avenue building
where the Stoen brothers’ replacement
hull was built. The Miss Exide was
completed in June 1963. Like previous
building tenants, the hydro barely
squeezed through the roll-up door when
it was pulled outside, and the thunderous
Rolls-Merlin engine rattled windows.
The building was also home to the
Hawaii Kai III, Edgar Kaiser’s national
champion and Gold Cup winner. In late
November 1957, driver Jack Regas broke
the world straightaway record in the Kai,
averaging 187.627 mph over a measured
mile on Lake Washington.

Volunteer Spotlight
Some people slow down when they
hit their nineties, but that’s not the case
with three of our amazing Hot Meal
Volunteers. Janet Recher, Anna Falck
and Ida Hamilton have been helping
our neighbors in need at the Hot Meal
Program, hosted at St John United Lutheran Church, for a combined total of
about 60 years. They’re consistently serving 150-200
meals each Wednesday and they don’t
seem to have much intention of putting
down the serving forks anytime soon. In fact, if you’re ever volunteered at a
Wednesday meal, you’ll likely find it
hard to keep up with them. We’re proud to place these nonagenarians high among the ranks of our
Super Volunteers. Thank you Janet,
Anna and Ida for all your wonderful
years of service and for being such inspiring members of the PNA family! Grow food for the hungry! Join the

“I liked eating the chives,” says Whittier Kids gardender Annabelle Higgins.
Hands-on learning
Whittier Kids garden a teaching opportunity
By Forrest Perrine
“Chive breath!” That’s what teacher
Joanie Taylor had to say about the kids
after they came in from gardening a
couple weeks ago. The afternoon was
full of the warm promise of spring and
we jumped on the opportunity to plant
the flowers and vegetables we had been
growing in the classroom from seed-gardening season had finally come!
The garden at Whittier Kids began as
something to give our outside courtyard
area some pizazz, but it quickly evolved
into a hands-on learning center, giving
digging in the dirt a purpose! Gardening
is not only fun and exciting for the kids,
but it also allows them the opportunity
to develop new skills like responsibility
and cooperation.
On that sunny day, we headed outside to pull old grass out of the dirt and
sow our seedlings-kale, snap peas, carrots, broccoli, radishes and a blend of
flowers both edible and decorative. As
snack time was good and gone and dinner yet to come, we passed the time by
munching on handfuls of chives, a WK
fan favorite. True to first-of-the-year
garden projects, this one stretched past
class time, the kids intrigued by the dirt
and its endless messy possibilities.
The very next day, the clouds rolled in
and dumped four inches of hail on the
delicate shoots, effectively obliterating
the new garden. This weather taught
our students a new lesson—resilience—
and we kept our chins up and set out
the next day to plant anew. Since then
we’ve been weeding, watering when the
weather doesn’t do it for us, and adding
other improvements like a white wire
fence and a ring of sunflowers that runs
the length of the courtyard.
The garden has become a meaningful exercise for our students in the importance of working together towards a
common goal. Beyond educating them
about the natural life cycle of plants and
the nutritional aspects of the vegetables
we’ve planted, our kids can take ownership of this little natural space and learn
to be good caretakers of the land.
This week, the garden taught us yet
another lesson: the dirty work is never
done! Just when we thought our digging
was finished, three flats of teacher appreciation plants arrived downstairs, so
expect to see some new colorful members of the jungle as you dodge errant
soccer balls coming down the ramp.

Artist Profile:
Tim Suchsland shares his approach
Tim Suchsland is one of the local artists featured in the Phinney Center Gallery this summer. We asked him some
questions about how he creates his art
and the ideas that influence it.
Fukushima’s Revenge by Tim Suchsland
Upcoming Gallery shows
June 17 - July 31
This summer, take a journey through the art of Tim Suchsland and Mia Yoshihara-Bradshaw. Much of Tim’s art focuses on the impact of travel and the importance
place and history play in our ideas, views and memories. Mia’s work utilizes a unique
self-taught paper cutting technique combining aspects of traditional Japanese Kiri-e,
silhouettes and mixed-media collage. Meet the artists at the opening reception on
Friday, June 19, 7-9 pm.
August 6-28
Come see the work of local artists Nalani Askov, Paul Dermanis, Kim Hood and Deborah Kirsner at the Phinney Center Gallery in August. These artists visit themes of
travel and exploration through their works in photography, watercolor and gouache
paintings. Meet the artists at the Opening Reception on Friday, Aug. 14, , 7-9 pm.
What is your process for creating art?
With every painting there’s a lot of
thought that goes into the concept and
idea. I tend to ruminate and mull over
ideas for a while before I act on any
painting. Often I do a bit of research on
the idea, whether that’s reading up on it
or traveling to the site and taking photos. I usually just do one shot at a painting. If it doesn’t come out right the first
time I discard it (sometimes I retry). Within the last year or so most of my
works have had a collage element to
them, where I start with the background
and paint an abstract pattern with watercolor. I then draw the outline of the
object on the back of this paper and use
an X-Acto knife to cut out the outline
(this “background” piece will actually be
the top layer once everything is assembled). I line up a different piece of paper
behind the opening of the cut piece/
outline and paint the actual image with
watercolor on this back paper. I glue the
two pieces together and then use black
sumi ink and a stylus to draw the details
of the image on the back piece. I think
the collage and sumi ink elements give
my works a bit of a 3D element and also
print-like quality.
What are the biggest influences on
your art?
Travel is number one, but also history and culture play big roles. Also I
try to use a little humor once in a while,
though my fiancée would probably say
I’m the only one who gets my jokes. Are there artists who have strongly impacted your work?
My art tends to have an illustrative
quality to it, and cartoons (“X-Men,”
“Doug,” “Pokémon”... You name it and I
probably watched it as a kid) and comic
strips had a big influence on me growing up. I’ve always been a big fan of Bill
Watterson the creator of “Calvin and
Hobbes” and Charles Schultz of “Peanuts.” Not only are they clever reads
but their artistic style seems to resonate
with me.
What is your next big project?
One of my next big projects that I’m
planning is to create an illustrated children’s book on resilience. I think my illustrative style (and my day job as a
school counselor) would resonate well
with this. I am starting to do research
on the project and gathering ideas for a
story and illustrations.
