Yes, change can be hard, but sometimes change can be positive. I believe that the closure of City People’s and sale of the property on East Madison presents an opportunity for positive changes for those living in or driving through Madison Valley.
There’s a charming, airy feeling inside Cafe Flora, 2901 E. Madison, with all the vast windows, planters full of greenery, and fresh, floral smells you associate with a garden store.
At any time of the day, we may happen upon an animal in distress. Whether you pass injured wildlife on the road, see a dog in a hot car or an injured kitty on the street, it is our responsibility to respond in this animal’s time of need. Luckily, with just a little information and a few supplies, it is easy to respond to animal emergencies no matter where or when you encounter them.
If a close friend or family member is getting married it’s an honor to be asked to join the wedding party. However, if your budget is tight because you’re saving up for a financial goal, paying off bills or have had a recent financial reversal like the loss of a job, you might need to do some thinking before you say yes.
In an open letter that went out to subscribers of the store’s e-newsletter June 16, Jose Gonzales and Alison Greene asked for the community’s help finding a new home for City People’s.
Madison Park, like other cities nationwide, enjoyed a safer environment in the 1950s and ‘60s. Everyone left their doors and cars unlocked, there was no “fear of missing out” or “FoMO” as they say now. It was all good enough! There were a few exceptions.
The benefit of the Arboretum Loop Trail is questionable in my opinion, since some 137 trees are being removed for its construction. Maybe the trail should have been half the width, and wound around the trees?
On Friday, June 3, KUOW, Real Change and the Seattle Public Library hosted a community discussion about the "Jungle" at the Microsoft Auditorium in the library’s Central branch.
At a future point in time, your parents will struggle with tasks that were once easy. The likely sphere where you’ll first intercede: The business transactions of daily living – crunching numbers, balancing check books, managing investments, and paying bills.

Seattle Public Schools is celebrating longtime Garfield High School coach Greg Brashear’s induction into the Washington Interscholastic Activities (WIAA) Hall of Fame. Officially inducted in 2015, the WIAA held their induction ceremony for Coach Brashear in May.
Before giving your support to Sound Transit 3, the $50 billion plan to expand light rail (and add $400-$500 to the average annual property tax), we ask you to closely review the arguments of those urging a no vote on this measure.
When Sheila Fitzgerald, lifelong resident of Madison Park, went hiking in northern Portugal some years back, along one of the many trails that lead to the shrine of Santiago de Compostel, she made a discovery that was gustatory rather than spiritual: The fine olive oil produced at a small grove of olive trees along her path.
The experience of being a new mom can be both fulfilling and challenging. In the latter category, hormone changes, fluid retention and the sudden addition of new physical demands such as lifting and carrying the newborn often lead to a painful condition known as “baby wrist.” Changing diapers, breastfeeding and lifting the child can all become nearly impossible due to pain and weakness related to this condition.
The flare-up about the sale of City People’s and the effort to stop the construction of a building with a PCC market reminds me of a similar effort in Madison Park several years ago. The city wanted to remove the fence at North Beach (Swing Park) which is on 43rd Avenue East, just north of East Madison.
