New venture in Uptown
Plant shop specializes in rare cacti and succulents By Jessica Keller
QA&Mag News editor
Although he has always loved plants and gardens of all kinds, accountant and business owner Kevin Cooper only recently discovered his passion for succulents and cacti. During the pandemic, Cooper, his husband, Zac, and daughter Rori visited many outdoor gardening centers and began purchasing those types of plants. After amassing a sizable collection, Cooper decided he wanted to take his love to the next step: sharing the plants with other people, and he opened his plant store, Rori Blooms, which is located in his husband's designer eyewear business, Coopers Optique, 315 First Ave. N., in Uptown, across from Climate Pledge Arena. "I have such a love for these types of plants, I just wanted to share it with the world," Cooper said.
Cooper said, while he knows there are other plant shops in Uptown, Rori Blooms specializes in rare and exotic succulents and cacti. He said his goal in opening his plant shop is to target experienced collectors, but also people new to owning plants who may not know much about succulents and cacti. "I want to teach these people how to care for these types of plants," Cooper said. He said, with basic care and knowledge, succulents and cacti are ideal for new plant owners because they are typically hardy, don't require constant tending and are ideal for people interested in keeping plants but worried about killing them. Cooper said he intends to make the process simple for buyers and eliminate any guesswork and hassle for buyers. "I want people to come in and buy a beautiful potted plant," he said. First, all the plants for sale have been quarantined, treated for pests and fertilized. Cooper personally selects each plant that is paired with a special pot and then plants it in the new container using custom soil ideal for the plant. Cooper also has detailed in-

QA&Mag News editor Seattle resident Sarah Armstrong, Madison Park, knows what it is like to feel stuck and not sure where to go next in career. She spent eight years contemplating just that and wondering how that would affect the rest of her life and her family. Now the former nurse, healthcare attorney and mediator helps other people as they navigate major life changes in her new career as a change and transition strategist. “Our lives are full of major
changes, and for most of the major life changes, we don’t need help — we just kind of go do it and we get the result that we get,” she said. Every so often, however, people get stuck and want to make a change in their life but don’t know how. They may talk about it to friends or family but never act upon it for whatever reason, Armstrong said. As a change strategist, Armstrong helps them people overcome those barriers. Most of Armstrong’s clients are between 40 and 75 years old, people old enough to have experienced a

Editorial: Homelessness, poverty and the city budget By Jay Sygiel, Isaac Litwak and Sawyer Hanners THE ISSUES Walking down the streets of Seattle, tents, tarps and sleeping bags become a familiar sight. The state of homelessness in Seattle can only be described as a human services emergency. To solve this dilemma, we must look at from where it stems. The primary cause of homelessness can be boiled down to two things: cost of living and the income gap that plagues Seattle. In recent years, 77,300 Seattleites (5,000 more than the seating capacity at Century Link Field) reside below the poverty rate. Of these people, more than 11,000 of them are homeless, and half of those are unsheltered. But this statistic is not representative of the number of people not having their needs met due to low/unstable incomes. The national poverty line is set much lower than is
what considered livable in Seattle. For one person to live comfortably in Seattle, you must make around $72,092, which is over five times the national poverty line. Over the past six years, rents in Seattle have increased 57 percent while the average salary has not scaled to compensate for that increase. Thus, the income gap is only getting larger, leaving the people of Seattle in the dust. THE BUDGET Education and human services are bundled together when looking at the city's general fund, and they collectively receive around $187 million of the general funds. That equates to about 12 percent of the $1.6 billion that makes up the general fund. Most of the budget that is allocated to human services only maintains last year’s efforts, accounting for some inflation, as well as an increase in the homelessness population. What the budget does not address is preventing homelessness in the
first place. To prevent homelessness, more funds would need to be allocated to affordable housing, shrinking the income gap and reducing poverty rates. To make changes to this proposed budget, City Council members must vote on amendments that would alter the funding allocation for certain services. Most of these amendments seem minor in the grand scheme of things but have huge effect in practice. WHAT CAN WE DO? To effectively address pressing topics such as homelessness and the income gap that leads to poverty, the city budget must be amended to allocate more funds to these growing issues. Within the human services department, there are three amendments that would do the most to redistribute funds to preventing these problems. HSD-002-A-001, HSD013-A-001 and HSD-023-A-001 are the most beneficial amendments for addressing these issues. For ease, we will refer to these as
HSD-2, HSD-13 and HSD-23. The first listed amendment, HSD-2, proposes the allocation of $750,000 to the Humans Services Department to analyze the relative value of HSD jobs. This means that human service workers will be able to make more livable wages, which will in turn attract more people to go into those fields. More livable wages will also improve worker retention. HSD-13, if passed, will provide $2 million in funding for youth job readiness. This includes preemployment options that include stipend-based programs, as well as internships. Job-readiness programs will also be funded. All of this means that our future generations will be more prepared for the workforce and hopefully are able to obtain more competitive wages. The final amendment, HSD-23, would set aside $1 million from the general fund to housing funds for court cases. These housing funds would enable people with
unstable housing/income to be able to attend their court dates. By providing these accommodations, there would be a lower jailing and criminalization rate of lowerincome individuals. As it stands, by missing court dates, you can be jailed and fined, something that not everyone can spare the time and money to endure. While all these amendments might not directly address homelessness, the growing income gap and poverty rates, they are small steps that we, as a community, can take to solve these problems. If you want to encourage the passing of these amendments, contact our City Council members at council@seattle.gov or individually. Seattleites, with a little effort, time and the ingenuity that all of us possess, we can end homelessness and close the income gap in our city. — Sygiel, Litwak and Hanners are students at Center School in lower Queen Anne.

Billy Frank Jr. (1931-2014) was an environmental activist and former chair of the Northwest Indian Fisheries Commission. His lifelong dedication to protecting endangered salmon and restoring justice for the Nisqually Tribe helped shape Washington’s environmental laws and expanded treaty rights for Native Americans
nationwide. He was posthumously awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2015. Juneteenth has been celebrated in Black communities since June 19, 1865, when enslaved people in Texas learned they were free. The news reached them two and a half years after the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation. This year, Gov. Jay Inslee proclaimed Juneteenth a state holiday beginning in 2022. Last June state lands made it a free day for the first time. World Mental Health Day was designated a free day to acknowledge the power of nature to restore mental health. The free days do not apply to Sno-Parks. During the winter season, November through April, visitors to Sno-Parks will need Sno-Park permits. For more information visit parks.state.wa.us/ winter.
shares with his husband. He said he will swap out the plants every two weeks or so until they are sold. Cooper said, for people who have a specific plant in mind, if he does not have it in his inventory, he is happy to locate and order the plant. Cooper said, since deciding to open Rori Blooms, he has done a great deal of research into the kinds of succulents and cacti he wants to sell. He also consulted with friend Skylar Kaylen, from the Curious Seedling, who he said
was instrumental in helping him open his store. Cooper said his plants range in cost from around $48 to over $200, depending on the rarity of the plant. "You can't find these in every plant shop around here," Cooper said. While his website has not yet been fully developed, he does have a web page, roriblooms.com. Coopers Optique, 315 First Ave. N., is open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Tuesday through Friday and from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturdays.
Washington State Parks has designated the free days in 2022 when visitors will not need a Discover Pass to park at state parks and on recreation lands managed by Washington Department of Natural Resources and Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife.

Why do animals have different hearing? You’re right — different animals can hear different types of sounds. To find out more about it, I talked to my friend Dr. Vishal Murthy, a veterinarian at Washington State University. Murthy reminded me sound comes from vibrations that travel through the air. For instance, when you feed your pet, the kibbles that fall into the bowl send out vibrations to your pet’s ears. Some animals, like cats, dogs, elephants and humans, have ears that stick out and can help funnel these vibrations into the inner ear. But some animals don’t have outer ears — dolphins, for instance. Dolphins have some of the sharpest hearing of all the animals on our planet. Scientists think dolphins rely on a part of their jawbone to help send those vibrations to their inner ears. In animals, the vibrations travel to a part of the inner ear called the cochlea, which looks like a snail’s shell. It has tiny parts called hair cells, which look like a little series of hairs in a line, that help animals sense a certain range of sound. When we talk about a range of sound, we often talk about frequencies. A chirp or a whistle is a kind of high-frequency sound. A bass drum or thunder is a kind of lowfrequency sound. Some of the animal’s hair cells can pick up on lower frequencies while others pick up on higher frequencies. Murthy said the longer an animal’s cochlea, the more likely it is we will find a variety of hair-cell types. This wide variety is one factor that can give the animal a wider range of hearing abilities. If you are like me, you might be wondering
Former QA writer's columns are now a book
For more than two decades, starting in the early 1990s, Madeleine Wilde’s column, “Notes from the Garden,” appeared in the Queen Anne and Magnolia News. Several times over those years, then-publisher Mike Dillon urged Wilde to gather her columns into a book manuscript and send it out to prospective publishers. In February 2018, two weeks before her death at 74 from a rare form of lymphoma, Wilde asked Dillon if he would take up the task. The two had remained friends after Dillon’s retirement in 2013. Her book, “Notes from the Garden: Creating a Pacific Northwest Sanctuary,” was published by Chatwin Books in Seattle in October of this year. “Madeleine was a delightful, engaging writer,” Dillon said in a press release. “Her columns felt like she opened her garden gate just for you. Her prose moved between hands-on, practical advice and more lyrical meditations.” In his introduction, Dillon provides a brief biography of the author and recounts how the book came about. Wilde’s husband, David Streatfield, professor emeritus in the department of Landscape Architecture at the University of Washington, wrote the foreword. “Notes” is illustrated by architect Mark Hinshaw, former architectural critic for The Seattle Times and Crosscut. Wilde wrote from her home on Queen Anne’s south slope,
why some animals can hear certain frequencies, while other animals cannot. Murthy said part of the answer to your question also has to do with the way hearing helps animals adapt and survive. Elephants are one great example. Elephants can hear lower frequencies than a lot of other animals can. It turns out low frequencies can travel farther than high frequencies. “Elephants are migratory and travel long distances, so they need to be able to hear over longer distances,” Murthy said. “Elephants have evolved this ability, so they can communicate with each other.” He also told me elephants will sometimes pick up on vibrations using their feet. The
where she and her husband had lived since 1986. She had served on the Queen Anne Community Council, the Pike Place Market Historical Commission and the Northwest Horticultural Society Board. In her later years Wilde was a committed volunteer for the Ballard Food Bank. “It’s deeply satisfying to achieve Madeleine’s dream,” Dillon said in the announcement. “ She was a great believer in the written word, and the importance of books in our lives. This is a beautifully made collection.” “Notes from the Garden: Creating a Pacific Northwest Sanctuary,” by Madeleine Wilde. Edited by Mike Dillon. Chatwin Books, Seattle. 231 pages. $17.

vibrations travel through their bones and to their ears where they can be turned into sound. Meanwhile, cats can hear a lot of high-frequency sounds. Prey animals, like mice, often make higher frequency sounds, like a squeak. The ability to hear particular frequencies can help some animals find prey. Murthy also mentioned most cats have better hearing than dogs, especially when it comes to high-pitched sounds. You heard it here, young scientists.

“Now they have an internal structure that they did not have before, and they can use that prototype where they can go through future life changes." — Sarah Armstrong Change strategist
STRATEGIST, FROM PAGE 1 feel and give you skills to heal your trauma,” Armstrong said. “But as a change strategist, I help people clarify what they feel and how it’s having an impact on their decision making in this major life change.” Armstrong said, at first, her clients see her every two weeks in the “strategic phase.” That phases entails gaining clarity about what the major change is in a person’s life, how is it challenging them and assessing how they are living their life right now and how this major change is impacting other aspects of their life. From there, Armstrong and her client create a vision for their life with more possibilities. Armstrong said her clients need help creating possibilities for themselves, which starts with recognizing what those possibilities are and then making a sound decision. Armstrong said that means she helps people determine whether their future goals are attainable and realistic for their circumstances or period in their life. Usually, she said, people’s visions are either too narrow in scope or wildly unrealistic. She wants people to envision a plan with new possibilities that is not too limited in scope, but she also wants that plan to be achievable. After that critical point, they create a strategic plan to help them get there. “I’m very committed to self determination: that someone feels that they have a process and the clarity to make realistic choices and that they are positioned to live the largest vision that they have of themselves.” The second part of a client’s journey is the manifestation phase, where they take the plan and begin to enact it. Armstrong said it is not unusual for people to need to revisit the first, liminal, phase as they realize nothing is exactly as they think it will be and they need to adjust
Photo courtesy Sarah Armstrong Former nurse and attorney Sarah Armstrong sits in her Madison Park office where she meets with clients virtually to help them tackle difficult changes and plot new directions in their lives. their expectations or plan. “No one can predict what they will experience,” Armstrong said. After recognizing the unexpected challenges and making any necessary adjustments, people return to the manifest stage and carry out their refined plans. After that meetings with Armstrong are less frequent, and she serves more of
a mentor role, discussing with them how their goals are being realized. “They come away with a template for how to make major life changes in the future,” Armstrong said. “Now they have an internal structure that they did not have before, and they can use that prototype where they can go through future life changes.” Armstrong said the work she did in her
previous career roles have served her well as a change strategist as they entailed helping people during tumultuous times. She also successfully navigated her own career change by becoming a change strategist four years ago. The field is a small one, although the practices taught have been studied and accepted in many fields for a number of years. Armstrong said she began her journey when she took a meditation course from former publishing CEO turned meditation teacher Phillip Moffit. She said Moffitt had shared tips for successfully navigating a career change with Silicon Valley professionals for 30 years before deciding to share his insight with others. “And these are all people who are highly successful professionals, and they have come to appreciate the need for clarity and living your life in balance and authenticity,” Armstrong said. After enrolling in Moffitt’s life change strategy program and completing over twoyears of coursework, Armstrong was among the first graduating class in 2018.
