Wallyhood Calendar: Carr, Low Tide, and Om

  • Post author:

Get up! You’re missing your 8:30 AM Saturday monthly meeting with our school board director Sherri Carr! Bethany Community Church – Christian Education Building, 8023 Green Lake Dr.

Saturday also features the warmest weather of the year coupled with one of the first negative low tides during the daytime this year. We walked from Golden Gardens to Carkeek yesterday and saw a beached seal along with other good stuff. Except I think the seal might have been dead. Anyhow, Low Tide!

Low tide

Saturday night there’s the Music + Love = Education benefit concert at the Om Culture Center, 2210 N. Pacific St. The concert will feature Tony Smiley and Yaima. 100% of proceeds go to charity, 90% to Education at Elevation and 10% to earthquake relief. How much more Om can you get than that? Tickets are $10 and the concert starts at 7.

Or, if you prefer the chapel at the Good Shepherd Center for music, there’s the music composer series happening at 8 PM.

Sunday is Mother’s day and apple class, and Wednesday is Internet Class for grandma.

Finally, care about the green in Green Lake? A portion of the Wednesday, May 13th Green Lake Community Council meeting will be a review of toxins and health effects associated with algal scums that form at the edge of Green Lake, by a toxicologist from Seattle/King County Dept of Public Health. Hopefully they shock it with alum again soon, that stuff is magic.

I've lived here since 1998. I spent 13 years at Microsoft as a developer and manager, concurrent with Ballmer's reign. I quit after seeing my third consecutive project cancelled, while my parents needed help, and my wife was getting stressed working at Seattle Public Schools. Since then, I have helped family and community while taking on side projects and volunteer work. I led the renovation of Meridian Playground, helped moderate the South Transfer Station design, helped advance the Green Lake Way road diet, and have guided several transportation and parks projects through neighborhood involvement. I wrote for Wallyhood for a while and was president of the Wallingford Community Council during the great recession, where thankfully, land use was not an issue. I'm an impatient moderate vegetarian who believes in practical win-win solutions.
