Only a couple of months after donating $100,000 to a fund to restore the murals of West Seattle, Adah Cruzen wife of the late Earl Cruzen has steppe forward to help another part of the community. She was honored on July 10 with a special luncheon at the West Seattle Senior Center. Executive Director of the Senior Center Lyle Evans wrote about her donation and how it came about for the Senior Center newsletter:
"Last month the Center was approached by a member of the community who asked what the Center needed in order to continue and enhance operations. I provided a wish list, not knowing the impact that list would have. About three weeks later, Adah Cruzen invited me to her home for lunch.

West Seattle resident Laurel Trujillo is on a mission to spread the word about the local beer scene and promote Washington brews.

White Center is changing rapidly. But for many people in the area there's a resistance to any kind of corporate movement toward a slick gentrified neighborhood. They needn't worry. The latest mural just completed on 16th SW on the wall opposite the entrance to Taradise Cafe is an absolute street statement. It's the work of artists Kris Hews and Sam Sneke who have been partnering on similar projects for 27 years. Another mural recently finished on Roxbury is a rendition of fish and greenery. It's the work of artist Angelina Villalobos and has more of a traditional painting look. The mural by Hews and Sneke has its roots in classic graffiti styles. It works well for White Center.
