your Wikli-fix: sogged in

This time of year, the Wikli is of two minds — to nestle down and shut out the cold and damp, or to simply embrace whatever our great outdoors choose to throw our way. The chill is tempered by a wealth of cozy spaces and warm, friendly faces. Join us.

annual "tree" lighting Saturday night

Come celebrate our updated holiday tradition in Columbia City. So we lost our lighted tree last year, but we haven't lost our tradition. Please join us for our annual lighting ceremony this Saturday, December 4th at 6pm at the intersection of Rainier Ave S and S Ferdinand St.

It's a wonderful event for the kids with caroling, cocoa and our magical Father Christmas.

new neighborhood apartment proposals

Tuesday December 14th at 6:30pm, the Department of Planning and Development will hold a public meeting to gather comments and provide feedback about two separate projects in our neighborhood. The meetings are at Northwest African American Museum, 2400 S Massachusetts St, Studio 1.

The first project is at 3701 S Hudson St, a 136-unit apartment building located at the NW corner of the St Gobain site, behind the Columbia Motors building. The design firm is Runberg Architecture Group and the developer is Harbor Properties. This will be this project's second meeting, and this might be the last chance for neighbors and the Design Review Board to weigh in. That session starts at 6:30pm.

The second is for 4484 Martin Luther King Jr Way S, to the north of the Rainier Vista Boys and Girls Club. It's a 52-unit apartment building intended to house low-income residents. SMR Architects is the designer, and Mercy Housing is the developer. This is the first meeting for this project — it was originally scheduled for 11/22, but it got snowed out. The second session starts at 8pm.

snowball skirmish in Columbia Park

On our first snow day, Columbia Citizens pulled together an impromptu neighborhood snowball celebration on our town green. We had a blast, and we attracted a bunch of news reporters who somehow managed to avoid the crossfire.

Thanks to Danny Gawlowski of the Times.

Open for happy hour and dinner Tuesday through Saturday and brunch on the weekends, St. Dames is the brainchild of bar/restaurant and food service veterans Sarah Murphy and Amy Weems.

Winter Solstice Celebration needs you

Calling all those interested in helping plan a 3rd annual Columbia City Solstice Celebration!

There are rumblings of interest in another solstice party. This year we don't have the financial and coordination support from SEEDArts, so if this is going to happen we'll need to get some helping hands to make it work.

A few pieces are in place: we've got two possible locations (the new Cultural Corner or the Southside Commons), I'm willing to put on another lantern-making workshop, and Dan's ready to make a labyrinth again. We've got the poetry stylings of Paul Nelson and his SPLAB compadres, and I'm working on rounding up some singers.
