Volunteers who participated at the Discovery Park 50th anniversary celebration wrapped up the day with a cleanup at West Point Beach. The day celebrated the 50th anniversary of Seattle’s largest park, which encompasses 534 acres in Magnolia overlooking Puget Sound. It features 11.81 miles of walking trails, including the Discovery Park Loop Trail, which was designated a National Recreation Trail in 1975 and runs 2.8 miles through the park. The park is also the home of the United Indians of All Tribes’ Daybreak Star Cultural Center, a lighthouse and a beach. See page 3 for more photos.
Magnolia residents afraid their neighborhood would be split between two City Council districts in the current redistricting process have scored at least a partial victory moving forward.
At a Sept. 27 meeting of the Seattle Redistricting Commission, members voted to amend the draft map previously adopted on Aug. 2.
The Seattle Redistricting Commission, which is in charge of creating new boundaries for Seattle’s City Council districts based on census data, drew the ire of a number of Magnolia business and community leaders and residents this summer after their original
REDISTRICTING COMMISSION PUBLIC FORUM COMING UP
The Seattle Redistricting Commission will host another redistricting public forum from 10 a.m. to noon Saturday in the Bertha Knight Landes Room on the first floor of City Hall (600 Fourth Ave). People can also participate via Zoom, us06web.zoom.us/j/85642302931 (webinar ID 856 4230 2931).
The public is also invited to submit comments on the proposed adjustments and amended draft map until the commission files the final district plan on Nov. 15. To learn more about the redistricting process and upcoming meetings, see the amended map or submit a public comment, go to seattle.gov/redistricting/how-to-participate. To obtain a physical copy of the draft map, contact Logan Drummond at Logan.Drummond@ seattle.gov.
draft map proposed splitting the neighborhood, including Magnolia Village, between council districts 6 and 7.
In turn, the Magnolia Chamber of Commerce, the Magnolia Community Council and numerous residents submitted more than 300 comments protesting the split. Following last week’s vote, however, the neighborhood would no longer be divided between the two districts. Instead, the new map calls for the southeast portion of Magnolia, which previously was
supposed to stay in District 7, to rejoin the rest of Magnolia, along with most of Interbay, in District 6. To ensure the new district boundaries meet the parameters set by the city, the neighborhood of Fremont, which is currently paired with Ballard in District 6, will move to District 7 with Queen Anne.
Other map changes include moving all of Eastlake into District 3, rather than dividing it between two districts, and moving a western portion of First Hill into District 7.
Ann Goos, Magnolia Chamber of
Commerce representative, said the latest decision by the commission, while not perfect, is better than before.
“I think the commission is just doing its due diligence in listening to residents’ concerns and trying to find an equitable solution that met some of the goals for the southern part of the city and responding to the sheer number and array of comments that they’ve received from other neighbors, including Magnolia,” Goos said.
Goos, who had previously advocated for keeping Magnolia and Queen Anne in the same district in part because the two communities have strong ties and more in common, said keeping Magnolia together in the same district with a single council member puts residents in a stronger position to advocate for their neighborhood interests in city government. She also noted that

As well, QACC intends to host its first in-person meeting since the pandemic on Nov. 2 on the Seattle Pacific University campus.

Seattle/King County Clinic offering free eye exams, eyeglasses for those in need Seattle/King County Clinic returns to Seattle Center for a seventh year on Oct. 20-23 with free eye exams and prescription eyeglasses for those who struggle to access or afford eye care.
Led by Seattle Center and Seattle Center Foundation, Seattle/King County Clinic brings together healthcare organizations, civic agencies, nonprofits and private businesses for the event. Licensed healthcare professionals and generalsupport volunteers donate their time and expertise with a goal of helping more than 1,000 people in need during the four-day period.

Organizers open the facility and begin to distribute free admission tickets beginning at 6 a.m. each day at the Fisher Pavilion at Seattle Center, on the corner of Second Avenue North and Thomas Street/ Lenny Wilkens Way.

If prescription eyeglasses are ordered, they will be distributed in early December.
Community members visited Discovery Park in Magnolia and participated in a range of activities Saturday to help celebrate the park’s 50th anniversary. The day’s activities included tours, hikes, speeches by city officials and tribal dignitaries, a picnic lunch, games, historical presentations and a cleanup at West Point beach. All the programs and activities were centered
around the goal to raise awareness of the park’s history; the park’s ties to the native indigenous peoples and their heritage; the benefits and ideals of public parks; educating the public about the park’s foliage, wildlife and special features and increasing environmental awareness; and fostering community stewardship to maintain and preserve the park. Saturday also began the pilot of a junior ranger program for children to explore and learn more about Discovery Park.
Beginning in early fall, pumpkins begin to arrive at farmers markets, supermarkets, nurseries and fall harvest festivals. Pumpkins are versatile in that they make colorful fall home decorations, but also can be utilized in all sorts of recipes. In fact, pumpkins are a type of winter squash.
While some people might be quick to think that the larger the pumpkin, the better it is for baking up delicious treats, that’s actually not the case. According to the gardening resource Gardener’s Path, although most pumpkin cultivars are edible, the big pumpkins carved into jack-

o-lanterns for Halloween tend to be pretty bland, watery and stringy. They’ve been hybridized to produce a large Halloweenfriendly shape, not for flavor.
Those traits are not ideal for a delicious pumpkin pie or pumpkin chocolate chip oatmeal cookies.
The best pumpkins for purees used in recipes are those that were specially cultivated for cooking. When shopping for pumpkins for your next recipe (if you’re opting for fresh, rather than canned puree), select one of the following:
• Cinderella
• Baby Bear
• Early Sweet Sugar Pie
• Dickinson
• Jarrahdale
• Galeux d’Elsines
• Orange Smoothie
• Small Sugar, among others
Once you’ve selected your perfect cooking pumpkins, it’s time to whip up a pumpkin pie. Enjoy this recipe, courtesy of McCormick, which can be served anytime from Halloween through Christmas.
Classic Pumpkin Pie Serves 8
• Pastry for 9-inch pie crust
• 2 eggs, well beaten
• ½ cup firmly packed brown
sugar
• 2 teaspoons McCormick Pumpkin Pie Spice
• 1 tablespoon flour
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 1 can (15 ounces) pumpkin (or equivalent in fresh puree)

On a warm evening in early September, a friend came over to watch a movie. What we really wanted was to indulge in the popcorn I would drench in enough butter to make a luscious breather from real life. It is so good to get a breather from real life. She and I have been friends for ages — despite a few bumps in the road during the Trump administration. So, when she suggested that I stop resisting and finally watch the KOMO News Documentary “Seattle is Dying,” I couldn’t decide whether to object or pour myself a tumbler of gin and give in.

my way closer to the side of KOMO on the issues of homelessness and addiction. Yet, that edging felt more like barreling as the documentary continued.
My first thought was that I was relieved I’d left Belltown. Right up until the day we moved, I thought I was doing a pretty good job of coping because the thought of upheaving my whole life makes me a little crazy.
I know. You saw it ages ago. Everyone saw it ages ago. But me? I didn’t want to watch it. I got fretful just thinking about watching it. When it first came out in 2019, I was living in my own little dying neighborhood, already fearful about walking anywhere at night. By 2021, even in daylight, so much about Belltown was dangerously scary. So, when she first suggested we watch the documentary back in the summer of 2020, I suggested that we reschedule to a day when I hadn’t seen anyone shooting up in my building’s entry stairwell. She wanted to watch it anyway. I suggested an episode of “Call the Midwife.”
But to have a friend, we must be one. So, well, fine, I agreed to watch. And I thought I’d react to the documentary in the same way I’ve come to view cable news — that we are not being told the truth; that singing to our own choir is not trustworthy reporting, it is mostly for entertainment purposes, and it is divisive.
The thing was, I was riveted.
Generally, I back away even from the words “right” and “left,” let alone the idea of edging
But lately I’m trying to give more thought to accepting exactly how things are and moving on if something or someone causes me pain, forgiving the perpetrator, as well as myself, along the way. I am even trying to forgive Seattle’s City Council for — well, you know — all of it.
I might be holding on to a little grudge, however. It’s so hard to forgive stubborn incompetence, and too many of our council members are appallingly lacking in leadership skills.
But I’m not going to give up on Seattle. I didn’t give up on New York in the early ’90s or after 9/11. And today, I feel safer when I return to Manhattan than I do on the downtown streets of Seattle.
Last time I visited, I thanked a mounted policeman for his efforts. And when he asked me where I lived now and I told him, he said, “Oh, I’d never work in that city. People love us here.” That may or may not be true, but as he tipped his hat to the couple walking by, I was relieved by how the people in Washington Square Park clearly seemed to welcome his presence.
In Seattle’s downtown, the decline might be quieter than a plane destroying a city’s two largest towers, but before COVID it was loud.
A good day in our inner city

Imagine being judged by your actions on the worst day of your life. Imagine being 18 years old and receiving a sentence of life in prison without parole.
This is the story of Eugene Youngblood, a facilitator with Renton-based not-for-profit organization the Freedom Project. After 29-and-a-half years, Youngblood was released from prison when the Washington clemency and pardons board found that Youngblood’s personal transformation and the work he did to support other prisoners was extraordinary.
Youngblood and his wife, Karla, visited the Episcopal Church of the Ascension in Magnolia on Sept. 25 for a program called “What Does Justice Look Like,” one in a series hosted by the Healing & Justice Ministry of the church, led by The Rev. Heather Wenrick.
Youngblood described having been a child of an incarcerated mother, his struggle to find family through membership in a gang at age 11, and his passion for building meaningful relationships and education. With a life sentence, Youngblood was unable to complete his education, but through borrowing books and becoming a teacher’s assistant in GED- and college-level courses, he learned nonetheless and is an inspiration for others.
Audience members at “What Does Justice Look Like” were visibly moved
when Youngblood told how he had felt as an adolescent that his life wasn’t worth anything. He described how in prison certain individuals helped him to learn his self-value, including a woman who brought him a dictionary when he had a year of solitary confinement.
In his work with the Freedom Project, Youngblood helps young people understand their personal value, with a philosophy of affirmation over information — affirming a youth’s life and presence first and showing care and concern consistently.
When Youngblood entered prison over 30 years ago, technology didn’t include the Internet, apps or social media. He was just 18. Like a modernday Rip Van Winkle, upon release Youngblood saw himself clearly in the mirror for the first time — with wrinkles and graying hair — in almost 30 years. He has had to ask for help with things such as how to cut and paste in Microsoft Word and being told “my 5-year-old can do that,” thus continually needing to explain the gap and re-live that worst day of his life.
A happier part of Youngblood’s story is that his girlfriend at 18, Karla, was there for him when he was released decades later; they are now married.
“I not only have gotten a chance to have a second chance at life, but I’ve also gotten a second chance at love,” Youngblood said.
“What Does Justice Look Like” builds on programming many of the church’s parishioners experienced
through Sacred Ground, a series in which small groups are invited to walk through chapters of America’s history of race and racism, through film and readings, while weaving in the threads of family story, economic class and political and regional identity.
Sacred Ground is part of Becoming Beloved Community, the Episcopal church’s long-term commitment to racial healing, reconciliation and justice in our personal lives, our ministries and our society.

Literally, booming. When everything old was torn down so that everything new could be built, when the Amazon campus was going up and up, and the newly constructed condos, and the skyscrapers we called by name quicker than I would have thought — Insignia, Spire, The Emerald — technology wealth was new to the city and so was I. My husband and I moved into a building on Fifth and Vine. Longtime residents still called it the Denny Regrade. It’s hard to believe that in 2007, CNN named Belltown the best place to live in the Seattle metro area, calling it “a walkable neighborhood with everything you need.” As I remember it, “everything” mostly meant happy hours. And, let me just say, there were great happy hours in Belltown.
But, honestly, I was ready for a change even before COVID made living in Belltown intolerable. For me, anyway. My friend Stephanie still lives there. She loves Seattle and regrets its decline as much as I do.
“I’m not going to leave,” she said. “This is my home, and I’m going to see this through.”
I worry about her, though, because every time we talk, she shares another horror story — the addict who left blood and feces all over the walls of her workplace bathroom; the man who threatened her with a knife on Fourth Avenue; and the shootings, the constant shootings.
But a part of me is glad that she is staying. For one thing, I’m hoping the good people who stay will balance out the ruthless fentanyl dealers. And for another, Seattle can’t keep on this way. That last string of shootings — was it six fatalities in one night? — has got to be Seattle hitting bottom. Right?
But some of Stephanie’s stories still highlight the best of our city. This is when her tone moves from frustration to that of affection, as though she can’t help but speak fondly of a city that the media declares is “dying.” And when I walk down Alaskan Way and see a flowing stream of people enchanted by the view that is sort of the whole point of living downtown, I remember how taken I was the first time I saw Puget Sound, and I find a new sense of hope in their smiles, which counts as a good day in our inner city nowadays.

Magnolia would also be better positioned to advocate with Ballard on shared interests and concerns, such as replacement, transportation and other growth in the Ballard/Interbay Industrial District and shared ties with the maritime industry and the Ship Canal.
“Ballard reflects the city that they once were. It once was an independent city, and it still has those flavors of that independence and a very unique and happening, vibrant community,” Goos said. “And, to me, what’s exciting is things like the new marine innovation center that is going to be built on the Magnolia side, but what a benefit that will be on the Ballard side.”
Also, the ties between the business districts in Queen Anne and Magnolia appear to be solid, with Vixen, a longtime Magnolia business, opening a boutique in Queen Anne, and Unravel, a spa in Magnolia, planning to do the same thing, Goos said.
Goos also thinks the City Council will benefit from the map amendment.
“I feel like the council itself is going to be nice and balanced, and, in the end, I think it’s going to be easier for whoever the council member is for both districts,” she said. “It will be easier on them that they’re not literally trying to represent
the same neighborhood twice. I think it’s easier for the council, as well.”
Paula Mueller, executive chairperson of the Queen Anne Community Council, said she doesn’t think Magnolia moving into a different district will affect the partnerships and relationships the two neighborhoods have built in recent years, nor will it keep neighborhood coalitions from collaborating on issues of mutual interest.
“It may mean that we would talk with two City Council representatives on a single issue, but maybe that’s a good thing that we would have two people listening to joint interests,” she said.
Jazmine Smith, a member of the Queen Anne Community Council who was also working with Redistricting Justice Seattle, said she doesn’t oppose the amended district map or keeping neighborhoods together, but a delicate balance is required.
Throughout the process, RJS has advocated for creating districts that allow communities that have typically been disenfranchised and unheard in city government in the past, such as BIPOC communities and renters, to stay together and not be split among different districts.
Smith said she doesn’t think the latest map amendment necessarily negate the strides RJS has made to strengthen minority communities, “as long as it doesn’t
come at the expense of splitting another community that has been historically disenfranchised.”
She also doesn’t think redistricting will require changing how neighborhoods work together.
“We have historically had a really strong relationship (between Queen Anne and Magnolia), but also there is a renewed interest in building relationships with community councils across the city,” Smith said, adding the coming changes could be good for everyone involved. “I think that there are lots of different overlays in the different neighborhoods and across district lines. I think it brings the opportunity to work together as a city as opposed to specific enclaves with specific demographics.”
Even though the redistricting commission has adjusted the council district boundaries, it won’t submit a final plan until Nov. 15. Until that time, people are invited to submit comments on the proposed adjustments and the amended draft plan. As well, the Seattle Redistricting Commission will host another public forum from 10 a.m. to noon Saturday in the Bertha Knight Landes Room on the first floor of City Hall (600 Fourth Ave). People can also participate via Zoom: us06web.zoom.us/j/85642302931 (webinar ID 856 4230 2931).
An amended map approved by the Seattle Redistricting Commission shows Magnolia would remain in one council district, as opposed to two, but it would no longer be in District 7. Instead, the neighborhood would be placed in District 6 with Ballard. Fremont, previously in District 6, would move to District 7 with Queen Anne under the new plans.
