Tomato time: Choosing the right mater I t’s that time. Gardeners are jumping out of their skins to get their gardens started, and recent false summer temperatures just revved people up further. Tomato, basil and even pepper seedlings suddenly began showing up at groceries around town. But what shoppers may not realize is that those plants will languish, or even die, if temperatures sink below 50 degrees at night. So, if you have or want one of those seedlings but are unsure of upcoming temperatures, please keep it on a sunny windowsill or outdoors under a cloche or tent until the time is right. But which type of seedling do you choose? Seattle is not the tomato’s native habitat, and we have a short-but-sweet growing season, so you need to pick well for a good harvest. You see labels mentioning saucers, slicers, heirlooms and hybrids. What the heck does “determinate” mean in a plant? It’s a fast decider? Let’s find out.
Types “Slicer” and “beefsteak” are used interchangeably, although there are slicers with beefsteak in the name. This means a tomato that is prime sandwich or salad material; it is somewhat juicy, with a firm texture, usually at least 4 inches across. “Sauce” or “paste” denotes a meatier mater with fewer seeds

that will cook down easily. “Cherry,” “grape” and the I-feelsillysayingthis-one “Saladette” are salad tomato types of
Heirlooms vs. hybrids Heirlooms are all openpollinated, meaning naturally pollinated and will “come true” or produce the same plant from its seed the next year. They are most often passed along from gardener to gardener, sometimes over 100 years. The usual cutoff for earning heirloom status is when a tomato variety hits 50 years old. There are new open-pollinated tomatoes that have been stabilized through seven generations of growing that will likely be tomorrow’s heirlooms, like “Green Zebra” or “Cherokee Chocolate.” Hybrids have been bred by a gardener or a breeder, by hand pollinating and selection (not
through genetic modification), but they have not been stabilized. If a seed packet or plant tag says “F1,” it’s a hybrid. If you plant that seed, you might get a similar plant, and you might not. I’m not picking sides. There is great flavor to be found in both camps. For me, heirlooms appeal to the history lover in me, and I don’t mind that they sometimes look lumpy. The tomato word for that is “cat-faced.” Sorry, cats. Heirlooms were often not selected for shelf-life because they were saved by gardeners for gardeners. Sometimes they are not very productive, but I’d rather have three homegrown “Anna Russians” than 12 supermarket “Romas.” Tomatoes bred for market usually have thicker skins to withstand travel, sometimes in preference to aroma, texture and that toe-curling flavor that makes me grow tomatoes. Hybrids are usually bred for uniformity, productivity and disease resistance. If you are a chef and want a perfect-looking tomato, or you don’t care about saving seed, or you have had issues with a recurring disease in your soil, choose a hybrid labeled for that resistance.

Retirement keeps Madrona author busy Susan McCormick releases fourth book this month By Jessica Keller
QA & Mag News editor Madrona resident Susan McCormick was just a kid when she wrote her first book. Named “Death in the Cemetery,” McCormick’s first foray into the literary world as an author didn’t lead to publication, but she was chosen to attend a writer’s conference at the time. While McCormick now looks back and laughs at the title of her book, she can’t help but remember how excited she was to attend that writer’s conference. While McCormick grew up to become a doctor rather than a writer, she never forgot her passion for writing and her childhood dreams. She now gets a whole new sense of satisfaction from merging her two passions, writing and the medical field, as a published author. “I loved being a doctor, and I love being a writer,” McCormick said. “It’s like a dream come true.” McCormick no longer writes to gain entry into conferences, although she attends them fre-
quently. Now, McCormick writes for all types of audiences and genres. “Over the past decade or so, I got serious about writing again,” she said. Her renewed passion has resulted in her fourth book published book, “The Antidote,” released this month by The Wild Rose Press, is a fantasy for middle-schoolers and up, and features a boy, 12-year-old Alex Revelstoke, who can see disease, injury, illness and anything wrong in the body. In “The Antidote,” like the Revelstokes before him, Alex must fight against an ancient evil — the creator of disease. While McCormick’s books are not directly about medicine, each has some element of her background in healthcare included. Her inspiration for “The Antidote” actually came when she volunteered in her son’s middle school science class on a day they were dissecting chicken wings. While the students were excited about the dissection, McCormick said she was struck by how little they knew about anatomy coming into class, compared with other topics, like mythology and author Rick Riordan’s fantasy books incorporating myths and mythology. “I think the human body is something kids aren’t as savvy on as they are with other things,”
McCormick said. While the seed for “The Antidote” was planted in a middle school science class, it actually didn’t blossom until years later, but before the coronavirus pandemic. The book took two years to write, McCormick said, as she was still a practicing gastroenterologist when she began. She retired last year, as did her husband, who is also a doctor, to pursue other goals and interests. “We had a lot of things we wanted to do,” she said. “One of the things I wanted to do was write more.” In addition to “The Antidote,” McCormick has published three other books. She self-published her first book, “Granny Can’t Remember Me,” after her mother was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s to help explain the illness and dementia to children. Her next two books launched her cozy murder mystery series, “The Fog Ladies,” which feature “spunky senior sleuths and an overtired medical intern” who live in an apartment building in San Francisco, which consequently is where McCormick launched her medical career. Her third “Fog Ladies” book is due to come out

How do fish migrate and why? While a lot of fish swim from one region to another to find food or have babies, different fish species migrate in different ways. That’s what I found out from friend Steve Katz, a professor at Washington State University who knows a lot about our planet’s natural resources and has researched fish such as steelhead trout, tuna and seven-gilled sharks in the Pacific Northwest. He said that steelhead trout often navigate through the water with help from a sense of smell. Steelhead trout use their nostrils to pick up on chemicals from rocks that have dissolved in the water. The differences in the scents of the water help them know which river or stream to follow. This is a helpful tool, especially as steelhead trout can swim for long distances over the course of a few years — in some cases, more than 1,300 miles upstream after they swim through the ocean for more than 3,700 miles. Katz reminded me that not all fish migrate. For instance, some of the steelhead trout males will stay behind in the streams when the females and other males head for the ocean. There is some risk in traveling long distances, so it can pay off for some fish to stay home and wait for the females to return. If you think a few thousand miles is a long way to swim, wait until you learn about tuna. Albacore tuna cross the Pacific Ocean twice a year cruising at speeds of 5 to 10 miles per hour. In a lifetime, that might add about 20 to 25 round trips. When it comes to migration, these fish are marathoners. “It’s spectacular,” Katz said. “Tuna are elite swimmers because they’ve got this extra red muscle and machinery that helps them swim
TOMATO, FROM PAGE 4 Determinate/indeterminate “Determinate” means it grows to a compact height, usually under 5 feet, fruits and stops. Many sauce tomatoes are determinates and tend to be earlier-fruiting than indeterminates. Pick determinates if you are short on space/ time or are interested in one big haul harvest, say to bottle a pantry full of pasta sauce or juice for winter. “Indeterminate” means the plant’s growing time is undetermined until cold temperatures hit. It will keep. On. Growing. Can be 10 feet or more — even if it’s an innocent-looking cherry tomato. Generally, indeterminates are more flavorful because they have longer time to gather up sugars soaking in the sun. I’m all about the flavor, so I found a workaround to have my flavor and sauce too: “Oxheart” tomatoes. Oxhearts are a lesser-known part of the family tree, of which “Cuore di Bue” is the best known. They are usually roughly heart-shaped, sometimes with wispy foliage that barely seems like it could hold a marigold. They are also intensely flavored, indeterminate, great for fresh eating and have the smooth near-seedless texture of a paste tomato. “Anna Russian,” “Purple Russian” and “Taiga” are some favorites. Tomato roulette But back to choosing. First, remember, you live in Seattle, not San Antonio. Our summers are getting hotter, but we still have a comparatively short growing season. The first factor to look at is your risk tolerance. If yours is low, your best bet is to stick with tomatoes with a DTM, or days to maturity, of 60 to 75 days. Feeling lucky? Stretch it to 80 to 85 with the help of season extenders like red plastic mulch, frost cloth and Wall-o-Waters that all boost air or soil temperatures for your plants. Smaller tomatoes typically ripen faster than big, fat bruisers, but check that DTM. Many Seattleites grow only cherries to avoid the
at a steady, fast pace.” A fish that moves much slower is the sevengilled shark. These fish live where the saltwater meets the freshwater, or often where rivers meet the ocean, which we call an estuary. But when it starts raining a lot in the winter, there isn’t enough saltwater in the estuary anymore. They have to head out into the ocean. The sharks travel up and down the coast for anywhere from 100 to 1,000 miles while they wait for the estuary to become saltier, and then they make their journey home for the summer. Katz said that some research has also explored how fish might use Earth’s magnetic
field — which extends from our planet’s interior out into space — or the angle of the sun to know which direction they should be going. But the truth is, scientists are still learning a lot about exactly how fish navigate the waters on their migration. Perhaps you can find a species of fish that lives in your state and learn more about its migration journey. The more species you learn about the more you’ll realize just how many migration stories there are to discover. Sincerely, Dr. Universe
heartbreak of nursing a single 2-pound tomato along all summer just to see it mold on the vine in September, still half-green. Some early medium-sized maters are “Stupice” (pronounced Stoo-peech-ka), “Moskvich” and one I recommend despite its wince-worthy name: “Bloody Butcher.” Call it what you like, but it’s both productive and packed with rich flavor for such an early type. If you want to be almost guaranteed some homegrown slicing tomatoes, you can’t go wrong with these. Next, pick varieties that like it on the cooler side, or at least tolerate it. Choose seeds or plants grown locally, and buy varieties selected or bred in places with cold nights — Russia, Czech Republic, the Ukraine, San Francisco and Oregon. Vaunted heirloom “Black Krim” is named for the Crimean Sea. Of those oxhearts mentioned above, two are Russian heirlooms, and “Taiga” is a new variety by independent breeder Karen Olivier from British Columbia. Short on space? Go with a determinate, a tiny patio tomato like “Tumbling Tom,” or a new dwarf tomato. These are full-sized fruit with heirloom heritage and flavor on compact plants about 3 feet tall. “Tasmanian Chocolate,” “Copperhead” and “Firebird” are some great ones.
Virtual beer tasting on tap in Magnolia
Flavor myth-busting On “acidic” tomatoes: Studies have shown that tomatoes all have comparable acidity. Sweeter tomatoes have more sugar, masking acidity. So, if you say you like a “low acid” tomato, you probably prefer a sweeter one. There are so many combinations of colors in tomatoes, it’s tempting to generalize and say all yellows are mild, purples are smoky and greens are tangy, but those attributes come in all sorts of colors. Craig Lehoullier’s “Epic Tomatoes” cites blind taste tests that show taste is not linked to flesh or skin color. You can plant tomatoes in Seattle through about early June for a successful harvest now that you know how to choose wisely. When in doubt, ask the nursery staff or the grower for advice.

There will be no proration of taxes, rents or other income or liabilities, except that the purchaser will pay, at or before closing, his pro rata share of any real estate taxes that have been paid by the Secretary to the date of the foreclosure sale. When making their bids, all bidders except the Secretary must submit a deposit totaling $44,862.06 [10% of the Secretary’s bid] in the form of a certified check or cashier’s check made out to the Secretary of HUD. A deposit need not accompany each oral bid. If the successful bid is oral, a deposit of $44,862.04 must be presented before the bidding is closed. The deposit is nonrefundable. The remainder of the purchase price must be delivered within 30 days of the sale or at such other time as the Secretary may determine for good cause shown, time being of the essence. This amount, like the bid deposits, must be delivered in the form of a certified or cashier’s check. If the Secretary is the highest bidder, he need not pay the bid amount in cash. The successful bidder will pay all conveying fees, all real estate and other taxes that are due on or after the delivery date of the remainder of the payment and all other costs associated with the transfer of title. At the conclusion of the sale, the deposits of the unsuccessful bidders will be returned to them. The Secretary may grant an extension of time within which to deliver the remainder of the payment. All extensions will be for a 15-day increments for a fee of $500.00, paid in advance. The extension fee will be in the form of a certified or cashier’s check made payable to the Secretary of HUD. If the high bidder closes the sale prior to the expiration of any extension period, the unused portion of the extension fee shall be applied toward the amount due. If the high bidder is unable to close the sale within the required period, or within any extensions of time granted by the Secretary, the high bidder may be required to forfeit the cash deposit or, at the election of the foreclosure commissioner after consultation with the HUD representative, will be liable to HUD for any costs incurred as a result of such failure. The commissioner may, at the direction of the HUD representative, offer the property to the second highest bidder for an amount equal to the highest price offered by that bidder. There is no right of redemption, or right of possession based upon a right of redemption, in the mortgagor or others subsequent to a foreclosure completed pursuant to the Act. Therefore, the Foreclosure Commissioner will issue a Deed to the purchaser(s) upon receipt of the entire purchase price in accordance with the terms of the sale as provided herein. HUD does not guarantee that the property will be vacant. The scheduled foreclosure sale shall be cancelled or adjourned if it is established, by documented written application of the mortgagor to the Foreclosure Commissioner not less than 3 days before the date of sale, or otherwise, that the default or defaults upon which the foreclosure is based did not exist at the time of service of this notice of default and foreclosure sale, or all amounts due under the mortgage agreement are tendered to the Foreclosure Commissioner, in the form of a certified or cashier’s check payable to the Secretary of HUD, before public auction of the property is completed.

AUTHOR, FROM PAGE 4 this October. She is also working on a thriller, which will be set in Leschi, as well as her fourth Fog Ladies book. McCormick said she has not ruled out writing another children’s book or dipping into other genres, but she will always return to her original series because she is attached to the characters she has created and loves the cozy mystery genre. “I love my Fog Ladies, so they have to continue on,” she said. While other authors develop their own style and process for writing books, McCormick starts out with a loose outline when writing but leaves a lot undeveloped. She said she doesn’t like to plot out too much of the story arc ahead of time because she likes to see where her imagination and creativity take her. Her favorite part of the process is writing the first draft, McCormick said, when she takes that kernel of an idea and puts it on to paper. “You sit there and write, and magical things just get created,” she said. “Because of all that spontaneity, all that magic, all that fun, I love that first draft.” In the second and following drafts, using her editor’s suggestions as a guide, McCormick takes a critical look at her
writing, making additions or tightening up the text, tying up loose ends and “giving up all your favorite words.” “So while I love the first draft, and I could write a first draft all day long, all those other drafts are painfully tedious but necessary,” McCormick said. When she is not writing, McCormick is active in the world of authors, expanding her knowledge by attending writing conferences, and participating in a podcast with other authors locally. “The more you know how other people do it, the more you see ways to do it your-
self,” she said. McCormick said that is a good practice for all writers, including those who are just starting out. The best advice she has to offer young or new authors in the making is to just carve out the time and sit down and write. Starting each session with a smile and a positive attitude, even on challenging days, is also key. Before she retired and the coronavirus pandemic, McCormick said she would wake up early before her family, and write. To this day, when she gets stuck she clears her head by going for a run. She also takes inspiration wherever and whenever it comes to her, even in the
middle of the night. Frequently her ideas are not fully developed when they come to her, and can percolate for a long time, even years, before they take off. “So the kernel just sits in there and festers for a bit until you finally say, ‘Oh I’m going to do something with it now,’ ” she said. She also said authors should not expect to be picked up by a large publishing company, either. While the publishing world is changing, and the number of large publishing houses becoming fewer, this is actually a good time to become a new author, McCormick said, especially for people taking the self-publication route, like she did with “Granny Can’t Remember Me.” “There are a lot more ways to get your book out there than there used to be,” she said. People interested in buying McCormick’s books can do so through a number of ways, including placing an order through a book store, off Amazon, at Third Place Books in Ravenna and at Leschi Market. “They support neighborhood writers, which is very fun,” McCormick said. People can also order books from her website, www.susanmccormickbooks.com, which also more information about her books and links to different webpages and interviews.
SAFEWAY, FROM PAGE 1 community at a meeting hosted by Magnolia Neighbors for Village Integrity, Thursday evening. He said the plan is to present the design to the Design Review Board at a virtual meeting on May 26 and receive input on a recommendation for the project’s master use permit. “Ideally, we’ll make it through with an approval on the 26th, but it would be no surprise if they ask us to come back with additional details,” Marasco said. As of now, the development calls for the demolition of the existing Albertsons and the construction of a seven-story development with a Safeway grocery below and 133 living units above, parking for 221 cars, a public square and a building design that incorporates aspects of the natural geography of the neighborhood, as well as features that allow for interaction with nature. Unlike other grocery and housing combination developments in Seattle, this building is intended to take advantage of the city’s Living Building program. According to the city’s website, the Living Building Challenge is “a green building certification program administered by the International Living Futures Institute that defines the most advanced measure of sustainability for buildings and landscapes.” The goal is for developers to create buildings that generate more energy than they use; capture and treat all water on site; and are made using safe and healthy materials. Nicholas Simpson, an architect for Bumgardner Architects, said, if all goes to plan, the Safeway and housing project will be the only mixed-use residential development to achieve a Living Building designation in the country. A significant concern among Magnolia residents, especially
Rendering courtesy Security Properties This latest rendering of the proposed Safeway grocery and 133-unit condominium development in Magnolia shows what the building’s design entails, including plenty of windows, a public square for people to enjoy and elements of Magnolia’s geography built into the facade. The Design Review Board will consider the project at an upcoming meeting May 26. neighbors, is this will be the tallest building in the neighborhood at seven stories and a Living Building designation won’t be granted until after the construction is complete. Once built and occupied, the building will undergo a performance review to demonstrate it meets all the Living Building goals. If it does not acquire Living Building status, residents worry the neighborhood will be stuck with such a large building. “It’s just this open-ended question that creates a lot of anxiety among neighbors,” moderator and Magnolia Neighbors for Village Integrity member Erika Schmidt said.
To try to ease residents’ minds, Marasco said the team is committed to meeting the Living Building challenge. Not only is the project already expensive because of the engineering and materials costs, failing to meet Living Building requirements can result in a heftier price tag in the form of penalties. “If we’re unable to get the project to conform to any of the living building pilot requirements, then there’s a significant cash penalty that ownership would get levied,” Marasco said. According to the City of Seattle’s website, the maximum penalty that can be imposed is 5 percent of the project’s construc-
tion value. Marasco said, even though the Magnolia project is not a large one, a penalty from the city for not meeting the Living Building challenge would be stiff, and failing altogether would cost ownership in the millions of dollars, not thousands. “We’re highly motivated to deliver the building such that it meets the challenge requirements and we don’t have to pay another fee or penalty for not meeting the compliance standards,” Marasco said. If after construction, the building does not meet all the Living Building requirements, the developer would be allowed to correct the problem.
“The motivation is not to levy a fee. The motivation is to correct the problem and get it to perform,” Simpson said. While the architectural team has a checklist of requirements the building must meet to be declared a Living Building, the engineers determine the best way to meet or incorporate those requirements, Simpson said. “That’s what the engineers are tasked with achieving,” he said, adding part of the point of the Living Building program is “to create new ways of thinking and create new ways of building buildings.” Some participants were not sold on the project, however. “It’s so big, so out of character for the neighborhood, makes me weak in the knees,” one participant commented in the chat feature. Another resident asked whether it was too late to revisit a smaller building. “We worry that many concerns (lights, noise, education, parking) are being ignored and won’t be fixable after the fact,” the person shared in chat. Simpson said, if the design team cannot get the master use permit from the city, then it will have to rethink the project’s scope. “But for today and the path that we’re on, this is the building that we would love to build and the grocery element that we would love to bring to Magnolia,” he said.
