To help kick off the Fourth of July spirit in Kirkland, King County executive candidate Susan Hutchison will march in the Old Fashioned Downtown parade Saturday.
The continued conservation of almost 150,000 acres of rural land currently under public ownership or development control will be more secure with the passing of an amendment to the King County charter concerning open spaces.
The dominant feature of Seattle’s cityscape, the Space Needle stands out as a beautiful yet slightly quirky structure, mirroring the feel of Seattle itself. Known for its coffee and espresso houses, virtually every neighborhood has its own favorite shops, from the great beverages and art at Caffe Vita in Capitol Hill to Bellino Coffee’s fabulous espresso in Belltown. Visual and performing arts thrive in the downtown area with the Seattle Art Museum as well as performances in mainstream and fringe theaters. Seattle’s mild climate and gentle rains keep the abundant trees and plants throughout the city green and thriving, a lush backdrop for this Pacific gem.
