News & Events

Many of you know that I'm a huge fan of FareStart, and I hope to go to their 20th Anniversary Bash on June 9 at Fremont Studios.

The FareStart community is celebrating 20 years of transforming lives! Your generous support has enabled the new beginnings that happen here every day.
 
Over the past 20 years, FareStart has provided opportunities for nearly 6,000 people to transform their lives, while also serving over 5 million meals to disadvantaged men, women, and children.
The 2011 Seattle Wine Awards were announced last month, and the list is impressive. If you're looking for a bottle or five to buy for a party, check out the list of double golds, many of which are under $20.


To that end, there will be a Gold Medal Experience Wine Tasting event on July 22 at The Rainier Club where you can sip on some of Washington's finest wines. You can choose the regular admission price for $65 or VIP, which includes a steak dinner for $89.


You'll have to wait a few months, but mark your calendar now for Northwest Tequila Fest on August 18 at The Phinney Neighborhood Center. Not sure what the cost will be, but who doesn't love tequila, food and music?

  1. The tequila event in August sounds wonderful!! And, thanks for the tip about the Seattle Wine Awards! And, I sure do hope you'll write about the James Beard awards since a local won a big award recently. (PS: I don't know anything about ANY of this but it was in this morning's Seattle Times!) :)
