Aptly named for its location in the Pacific Northwest, Emerald Water Anglers is West Seattle’s only fly fishing shop.  The first ten seconds you walk in you’re hooked. The merchandise, cozy leather chairs and the conversation are all designed with the nature lover in mind. You’re welcomed with warmth and curiosity for the customer’s needs. It’s a place you can sit down, chat about life, fish, nature, what you aim to catch; ten inches or twenty inches it’s all fodder for conversation. For owner, Dave McCoy, it’s about people’s stories, their lives and helping them explore.

When you come through the door, you feel creative energy and a joyful sense of possibility. Inner Alchemy, Treasures and Transformation, located on 35th Ave SW and SW Webster, is a community-based business where you are invited to come and be curious, explore and expand your most authentic self. The space, now in its second year, is an emerging hub for holistic practitioners and those who are interested in trying unique modalities like reiki, sound healing, healing mediumship, or attending regular events of meditation, drumming circles, kundalini and yin yoga. The idea for the space grew out of owner and founder Maari Falsetto’s own need for community, a yearning that has given voice to the creativity of a collective of artists in West Seattle.

In 1950, the main street of White Center was only two paved lanes in the middle of eight blocks of huge mud holes whenever it rained. The county territory was ruled by Republican Bill Sears, who probably never got a vote from the hugely Democrat citizenry.

We got frustrated with governmental neglect. We ran a series of front-page cartoons depicting the muddy life of a fictitious groundhog that loved the road even though he had to scamper out of the way when drivers splashed into his territory.

After several weeks of swamping our readers with watery woes, local businessman Omar Schau came charging into our office and after castigating us for our literary attempts, suggested that if we didn't like it we could always go back to wherever we came from.

To the  editor:

The US/World environment has become more volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous (VUCA) as government and business organizations see it. This environment is likely to continue for the foreseeable future. Most of the information that follows comes from organizations such as the Bureau of Labor Statistics, MIT, World Economic Forum, and other various governmental and professional sources. Not every trend or forecast is good or bad and many reflect new and encouraging opportunities. Specifically, a few world/national/Seattle trends/forecasts are:

Everyone was anticipating a Blue Wave to hit during Midterm elections. So it was no surprise that a Blue Wave did indeed sweep dozens of Democrats into the U. S. House of Representatives.

What did surprise was the Pink Wave, masses of women swept into the nation's House. Women also flooded state legislatures, governors' mansions and county and city offices. Not even in 1992, the so-called Year of the Woman, was there such a feminist groundswell.

The numbers are dizzying. While one or two races remain undecided, it is certain that Congress will be home to at least 123 women (out of 538 members). The House will be much bluer, with 113 women lawmakers projected; 98 democrats and 15 Republicans. The U. S. Senate, however, had few vulnerable races and continues redder than before.
