Karen Wolf of King County Executive Sims’ office will be coming to speak to the Transportation Committee about the carbon-modeling project she is involved in. While this is a King County project, people throughout the nation are watching that project and looking forward to using its results to help in the battle against climate change. Because transportation is one of the serious producers of carbon, this project is of great interest to us. All are welcome to come hear Ms. Wolf and her staff. For further information, please e-mail Linnea Hirst at lwvquilter@comcast.net or leave message at (206) 329-4848.

The Land Use Committee is tentatively scheduled to have a guest speaker from Seattle Parks and Recreation to provide an overview of various Park Department projects/issues the Land Use Committee and Seattle League have followed and/or been involved with over the years.

While much of the daily work of the League of Women Voters of Seattle is performed by members of committees or the Board or by a small cadre of other volunteers, every member has a responsibility—every year—to shape the future of League. We are a grassroots organization; members decide what issues we will focus on and what actions we take. Your attendance at the annual meeting is vital to the health of our organization. Please attend. Five percent of the membership is the required quorum but attendance at the highest level possible helps to forge a League that speaks for all of us.

“Tra la, it's May!” The Northwest Folklife Festival is just around the corner. This has been an effective venue for voter registration. Festival attendees appreciate the League's presence, updating their voter registrations or registering to vote for the first time. It's heartening to watch 18-year olds persuade their cohorts that voting is important. Music brings a smile to the sulkiest curmudgeon's face, and the colorful attire of various performing groups and sidewalk performers lightens hearts. Be a part of this delightful Northwestern tradition. Sign up for a shift or two at the festival by calling (206) 329-4848 or emailing monya@seattlelwv.org

Go Behind the Scenes at the Pike Place Market

Let’s meet at The Pig!

Join a Behind the Scenes tour of the Pike Place Market and hear about its fascinating history. Tour will be led by three staff people of the Pike Place Market PDA: Carol Binder, Executive Director, James Haydu, Director of Marketing & Communications, and Scott Davies, Public Information Specialist. The tour is the North Central Unit’s annual fundraiser. Suggested donation is $30.00 per person. What a deal!

We expect a bond issue to support some critically needed repairs and improvements to the market next year. Coming on the tour will make you a better-educated voter.

Tour will be followed by a box lunch provided the North Central Unit and served to you at nearby Olympic Sculpture Park.

For reservations and further information e-mail Jan Orlando or Gail Shurgot or call (206) 329-4848. There is no limit to participation; all are welcome.
