As a disc jockey who worked for different radio stations in Seattle for many years, Queen Anne resident DeAnna Lee knows what it is like for women trying to carve out their own niche or create something for themselves. To give women that place, Lee, a longtime dancer and choreographer started the Boot Boogie Babes, a line-dance troupe just for women in 2014. As a long-time dancer, teacher and choreographer with a background that includes two-step, polka, waltz, East and West Coast swing, cha cha, jitterbug and line dancing, Lee said she wanted the Boot Boogie Babes to be an organization where any woman could come to learn how to dance, make friends and, perhaps, fill some need in their lives they didn’t know was missing in a safe, welcoming place.

DeAnna Lee, a former radio disc jockey, started the line-dance group for women in 2014 and began running it full time in 2020 after she was laid off because of COVID. Lee said Boot Boogie Babes lets women know that life is not over for them once they reach a certain age or experience some

other significant life change. “You can be empowered at any age, any size and from any background, and that’s our mission

statement,” Lee said. “That is the culture of our organization.”

Last year, when it became clear Eric Berge could not host the popular Magnolia Village Car Show, he arranged for some car enthusiasts he knew to just go cruising in their vehicles. But it wasn’t the same, Berge said. So he is very excited that hot rods, muscle cars and more will adorn McGraw Street once more this weekend. “Somebody called it the happiest car show they’ve ever been to,” Berge said. “I said, ‘I’ll take that.’ ” The car show will take place from 8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Sunday in the Magnolia Village business district, from 32nd to 34th Av-

enue West on McGraw Street. This year, registration for the car show will take place at 8 a.m. Sunday at the corner of 32nd Avenue West. Cost to register is $20, and all types of vehicles are welcome. People who register a vehicle will receive a shirt with this year’s logo. Berge said all entry fees go to Northwest Harvest, a nonprofit organization that supports food banks. Berge pays any additional costs, and the Magnolia Chamber of Commerce pays for the insurance. “I just like seeing what Berge, who owns Werner’s Crash Shop in Uptown and lives
