Weekly Update
June 26, 2018
Greetings!

Ever have those weeks where it's clear who won the popularity contest? This week the winner is Thursday. So cancel your regularly scheduled programming and pick up some heavy lifting, some information gathering, or some issue digging, and join the club. In the unfortunate event that you can't be everywhere at once, send a friend or two. And if you like them especially well, send them to an event with food. (Hint - that's all of them.) I sure hope the people who are planning the meeting where I'll be are reading this. We got your Minimum Wage conversation (with coffee and danish), we got your Immigrant Heritage Walking Tour (with Thai food), we got your Rush Line Station Area Planning (with something out of this world - right, Rush Line?) and we got your Hand Made Bratwurst (including vegan) $3 Community Dinner. Choose any day to make it great this week... as long as it's Thursday.











Rush Line: To the East Side, Not Just Through

June 28th 6-8pm: We'll be meeting with neighbors and businesses and the Transit Savvy at Arlington Rec to talk station design. Can we get the bricks and mortar to go to grade at Arcade where we can build a business community or must they stay down at Phalen? Can the station go into Seeger Square or need it be stowed under the bridge? We want a station that makes the East Side proud. Paris will be there with you! Contact me if you want to come along!
June 28th 2-3pm Hear from Seattle Business owners about how their Minimum Wage efforts have played out. This panel is open to your questions about how this approach can work but due to space we especially want to invite business owners.

June 28th 4-8:30 Led by Dr. Peter Rachleff, attend a 90 minute walking tour on Payne Avenue to learn about immigrants in our neighborhood who settled here from the 19th century to the present.

Hosted by East Side Freedom Library with Special Guests from Green Card Voices. (image copyright Green Card Voices)
