I lucked out with street parking a block away, that's rare! Pro tip: check out their website for gallery hours and specific events (slipgallery.com) Amy Tipton kindly replied to my email inquiry. Additional gallery viewing times can be made by appointment. Current art installation is "Have You Eaten?", a group exhibit featuring AAPI artists. A great assortment of art work, I took photos from most of the gallery's interior. This was curated by Rya Wu. Love that there are scheduled art walks and galleries all over the city. Check out Slip Gallery if you are in the Belltown neighborhood!

Going to Edmonds Historical Museum this morning, Saturday 9 November 2024, I could not clearly…read morerecall if I had been before. Walking the museum exhibits, I found I could recall seeing some of the items on display before - I had come with my Grandma Rosemary maybe over 20 years ago to check it all out. My visits have been all around enjoyable experiences. For parking, I went with street parking about one street away. Parking on the streets nearest the museum was limited due to the Edmonds Saturday Market. I arrived a few minutes before opening (9 a.m.) and was eagerly the first patron of the day. I was greeted by a friendly worker who told me a bit about the museum building and an exhibit that was on its opening day, "Voices of Valor", which covered veterans from Snohomish County in various wars. She informed me I was the first patron to see the exhibit. I thought that was cool! Before proceeding into viewing the exhibits, I made my $5 donation at a box near the entrance/exit though later I did note there was a least one other donation box location in case one forgot and/or did not want to be obvious. Uniforms for the veterans varied depending on the war. It was neat to see how the dark blue for World War(s) morphed into dark green for the Vietnam War and mottled tan (Army) and blue (Navy) for the Iraq War. I appreciated the focus on the efforts of local Snohomish County residents during the war, including what role(s) they served in. Information and artifacts were clearly displayed and easy to understand, and were well laid out and straightforward to navigate (in a clockwise direction displays covered more recent wars). Downstairs, the exhibits were straightforward to navigate as well and included an old jail cell that one could enter, a model train station, and a narrated out loud diorama of an old shingle (wood/logging) mill. A second friendly worker was in the basement when I took the elevator to the lower level, she kindly turned the model train on when I got to the Great Northern Railway section. Other displays also helped contribute to my broader understanding of the development of the area and what daily life looked like in the past.

We called their telephone number to get voicemail saying check FB for hours of operation. We looked on FB which told us one set of hours... then drove over to find them closing. The woman at the front desk said they didn't know how to update their FB page to give current/accurate hours. Come on! Pretty basic... I don't recommend driving out of your way to get here given the risk that it will be closed.

If you have seen the name DeYoung in and around local area buildings and parks, then you must know…read morethey are an early settler family of Woodinville. The Woodinville Heritage Museum is yet another one of these examples. Once a home for the DeYoung family built in 1931, it was later converted into a museum in 1975 with exhibits that highlight Woodinville's historic past. An heirloom photo of John and Ellen DeYoung hangs proudly over the fireplace mantle. The utterly charming colonial house is beautifully landscaped with many flowers, lush greenery and a water fountain in the front yard garden. A herringbone pattern of laid brick patio emphasizes the quaint entrance which is surrounded by a white picket fence. The back yard has a wood deck and picnic table with plenty of room to walk about and enjoy the property serenity. Inside the Museum, it is decorated with period pieces reflecting the history of Woodinville. Refinished hard wood floors throughout and glass front kitchen cabinets give the Museum a cozy, turn of the century feel. My organization is lucky enough to be able to hold our monthly meetings at the Heritage Museum. Limited parking on the premises. Museum offers tours and community events. Don't pass up a chance to visit this local treasure.

This is a somewhat difficult spot to find with one way streets in the area…read more The Lawrimore Project is a venue for art installations that need a larger space. They don't fit into the business model of a commercial gallery, because well, they wouldn't likely fit in your living room. That makes it all the more valuable as a rare opportunity to regularly see changing installation shows. It's a project of architects who make art and installation too. Through an impressive industrial door is the main room. Further back there is a small artist book shop and smaller galleries, one sporting a kitschy fireplace. It's perfectly in place and out of place at the same time. Lawrimore is revisiting its business model, always a tough call in the art world, see it soon, before they close. Oh, FREE too.

Some of it is contemporary naturescape and landscape. I'm especially proud of an artist friend that working for years with their private collector base was selected by the gallery for representation. The other is a young Portland art professor with Portland representation. Looking through their artists, I know a third. For their Saturday evening opening in Capitol Hill, they had a good crowd and interesting conversations. One person I spoke to lamented that the gallery space was once their yoga studio. The staff went out of their way to speak to people visiting which is not often the case at galleries, especially openings. Most of the show sold, indicating a healthy relationship between the gallery owner, the collectors and the artists. Visit their website to learn more about their artists, visit for an opening, visit regular hours or by appointment. Like most of Capitol Hill, parking is fierce, so prepare for that.
