Hi all,

Well, it's been 6 months since the last update, and things are finally
working themselves out. The Torah Day School has taken possession of
the school, and is finalizing leases with a handful of us to rent
classrooms in what will soon be called the Cultural Corner. In one
classroom will be the Seattle Poetry Lab, ReelYouth and Muse Indigo.
In another classroom will be visual artist Molly Scott. There's still
one classroom available as follows:
700 square feet
$600/month, utilities included (except for wi-fi - we'll be installing
our own and splitting it among the Cultural Corner residents)
Option of a one-year or three-year lease
I believe "early bird" renters get one month free this first year

If you're interested, please contact the property manager, Adam Simon:
206.686.6362 phone
206.755.6345 cell
asi…@realassetsps.com

The Rainier Valley Historical Society is considering storage space in
the building, and Adam says they're hoping the Farmers Market will
come onto the property for next year's market. AlleCat Acres was on
the original RFP to create P-patches with the gardens there, but I've
not been in contact with them. There's been some communication gaps
while things are in transition, but hopefully everything will smooth
out after the Jewish holidays. Those of us renting plan on moving in
on October 1st.

We collectively hope to create a community arts gathering space, and
will put out a calendar of events once we move in and get settled.

Thanks to everyone who's been on this ride for the past five years.
Your input and the discussions we've had have been really valuable in
terms of seeing what's important to the neighborhood. What we've ended
up with is a mixture, and that seems like as good a solution as we
could have for now.

Sincerely and optimistically

Seed Swap?

I save seeds from some of my annual plants. I'm sure others do too. How about a seed swap meeting some time in winter? Would be fun to see what others are growing, share tips and tricks, and save money on seeds.

The volunteer community musical group, The Orchestra of Flight, is starting rehearsals for our 2010/2011 concert seasons. Our first rehearsal will be Monday, Sept 13th from 7:30PM to 9:30PM at Zion Preparatory Academy, 4730 32nd Ave South, Seattle, WA

We are currently in need of string players. No audition required for musicians able to play at high school level or better.

The orchestra has been performing in the Puget Sound area since 1983. We perform at many area retirement and nursing homes providing live orchestral music entertainment to residents that might not be able to experience it otherwise.

Please contact for more information or visit our website at http://www.flightorchestra.org

I had a wheel and a seat stolen. Someone tried to break my U-lock last week. I know of another person who had their bike stolen.

Sorry I have not seen a Trek that matches the description.

An easy solution would be to have security cameras at the station. I would hope sound Transit would include this in their new plan. Maybe someone from ST can respond on this post.

I used to think this was the place for blackberries, but I take it back. It's too overgrown, and the season has been too dry.

But wade along the shore on the east side of Seward park, and it's berry heaven. I know the Parks Dept has worked hard to replace the exotic blackberries with native plants, but the berries are back in force. They've got all the water & sun they need, and they're easy to get to.

Woops- This site doesn't tell you when you have a response I guess….
and I just saw this now… wish I had made the Friday group!

The main thing will be connecting with other southeasters.. do you know of anyone?

Thanks and hope to meet soon Susan!

E-mail Mayor McGinn about S Seattle violence and his pitiful proposal for better lighting and more police in Rainier Beach "in the next FEW YEARS"
His address is vog.elttaes|nnigcm.ekim#vog.elttaes|nnigcm.ekim.
Rainier Beach, specifically Rainier Avenue S & S Henderson, has been the site of violence over the past month including shootings of and by children, beatings, and a man set on fire.
Please take a moment to email Mayor McGinn at vog.elttaes|nnigcm.ekim#vog.elttaes|nnigcm.ekim about safety in South Seattle and the need for a more prompt and intensive response.

Sorry to hear about your bike. I've often noticed it because it's so similar to the old Trek MTB I ride. Please do report it to ST at 206-398-5268.

I'm sorry about that. We've read about this before, and I keep hearing about ripped-off parts (seats, lights, and other components). I ride to Link all through the winter, but I rarely leave my bike at the station. Mine is a beloved beater. I'd hate to lose it, but I'm thinking no one else would give it a second look!

SoundTransit recently announced they'll be installing 7 new bicycle lockers this year and 46 next year at the station (heard via Seattle Transit Blog). I think locker rental costs $50 annually. I've never used the lockers before.

in discussion CC living / safety » bike security at columbia city light rail station?

I was disappointed today to find that my bike, which I've regularly been leaving parked at the Columbia City Light Rail station while I am at work, was stolen from there today. I left it parked there until almost 10:00 p.m. (later than usual) and when I went to retrieve it, it was gone. It was locked with a Kryptonite U-Lock.

Two questions:
1) Have many other people had bikes stolen here?
2) Have you seen a very large Trek mountain bike (grey with red trim)?
