š” No fair, no problem: Do the Puyallup from your car
The end of summer also means the end of berry season. Better pick 'em now before it's too late. š„§
What Seattle is talking about
Tim Eyman is the man behind a fake petition to recall Mayor Jenny Durkan. You may have heard of efforts to recall the mayor but that campaign hasn’t actually started collecting signatures. Eyman’s petition has been pulled offline and any signatures collected will not be considered valid as the document itself is not. (Crosscut)
Yes, Seattle has had a confederate monument. And no, it won’t be restored. The memorial in Capitol Hill’s Lake View Cemetery was erected by the United Daughters of the Confederacy in 1926 and toppled over this past fourth of July weekend. (Capitol Hill Seattle Blog)
Sami’s Store in the Central District hopes to be more than just a store but a community resource. The store is working to raise enough money to remain open and add a community kitchen and become a space for meetings as well as local artists. Sami Abera now runs the store which his parents opened 20 years ago after emigrating from Eretria.Ā (South Seattle Emerald)
State fair food to-go. While you can’t do the Puyallup this year you can still get some of the fair’s staple food items like Fisher scones and Krusty pups. Each weekend this month the fair grounds will be open from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. to drive through and get these classic snacks. (The Seattle Times)
Visit Chihuly Garden and Glass for some art AND pizza. The museum has installed a pizza oven in its outdoor art plaza for visitors to enjoy while watching live glass blowing demonstrations. It’s unknown how long the museum will offer slices so get over there now. (Seattle PI)
š We do things differently around here
It’s not a coincidence that our newsletters these days are focused on making sense of the chaos and connecting you with resources and opportunities to help, instead of stoking fear and panic.
Frankly, we do things differently because we pay the bills differently.
Unlike many other publishers, The Evergrey’s business model isn’t all about selling eyeballs to advertisers and trying to be the biggest billboard in town.
We succeed when we build trust ā and when our readers reward that trust by becoming supporting members.It’s a difficult time to spend money. We get that. But if you can invest $8/month ā or $80/year ā to support our work, we promise to keep doing things differently and being a voice you can trust, especially in times like these. š
š§ Yes whey, weāre āgoing greenā
When you hear the word “whey,” what do you think of? Most likely you go to the protein powder to get those muscle gains or as part of the nursery rhyme, “Little Miss Muffet.” Emily Darchuk of Wheyward Spirit is flipping the script and has turned the cheese-making waste byproduct into a brand new unique type of spirit that tastes like a mix of vodka, gin, and sake.
Emily draws on her years of experience as a food scientist and her passion to reduce food waste to bring the beverage industry something new and exciting while helping minimize waste in the dairy industry. Peek behind the scenes with her and sign up to see her atĀ VertueLab’s FUEL 2020Ā panel, Beyond ‘Going Green’: What Else You Can Do to Slow the Climate Crisis. We will dive into the subject of what it really means to go green and share insights into what we’re all doing that has the biggest impact.
