World, meet Keweng (kay-wing), or “Kay” as she is affectionately nicknamed for short! This sweet female Matschie’s tree kangaroo, born to mom Elanna and dad Rocket in January, is named after a village in the YUS Conservation Area (YUS) in Papua New Guinea. YUS is home to Woodland Park Zoo’s Tree Kangaroo Conservation Program, and Keweng is one of the main villages in YUS.
“Keweng is the home of Mambawe Manauno, the first landowner and former tree kangaroo hunter, who showed me tree kangaroos for the very first time in 1996,” explained TKCP founder and Director Lisa Dabek, PhD (also WPZ’s Senior Conservation Scientist). “Manauno was also the 2003 recipient of the Woodland Park Zoo Conservation Award. It’s so great to be able to pay tribute to his work with the naming of this special joey.”

A friend of mine and I were social distancing over coffee in her backyard. Our discussion was about our experiences with the corona virus shutdown and how we have been living very differently these last seven months.
We agreed there will come a day -- not for several moons yet -- when we will be past this nightmare and life can return to normal.

At last, there is good news. Exactly one year ago I wrote of the possibility of losing one of Seattle’s oldest P-Patch gardens, “this feels like a last stand for me.” It has been a more hellish year than anyone other than those expecting the apocalypse daily anticipated. Hence almost a year of silence from me, wondering when will there be good news?
The Seattle Department of Construction and Inspection reports that a land Use application has been filed to allow a 5-story apartment building with 72 small efficiency dwelling units and 5 live-work units at 4401 42nd SW. Parking for 36 vehicles is proposed. The existing building will be demolished. They will be called Genesee Flats.
At SDCI it is Record Number: 3034569-EG.
This is the former site of the West Seattle Helpline which has now merged with the West Seattle Foodbank.
The site is just across the street from Holy Rosary Church on Genesee Street SW.
From the Early Design Guidance packet developed by Cone Architecture:
OPTION THREE - PREFERRED OPTION
Option Three, the applicant 's preferred option, returns the residential entry to 42nd Ave SW, however, locates it in the center of the building creating two groups of live-work units.

The role of mayor in Seattle has been a real test of strength for Jenny Durkan. Previous holders of that office had it much easier. The worst thing that happened to Greg Nickels is that it snowed here heavily one year and drivers blamed him for the traffic issues that resulted. Mayor Mike McGinn couldn’t seem to get along with the city council and The Seattle Times and lost favor.
But Mayor Durkan has faced much harder problems. Endemic problems with our police department, Black Lives Matter protests that turned violent, what looks like daggers from the city council poised to stab her, the closure of the West Seattle Bridge and now a recall effort by a group that thinks the mayor was weak on violent protesters…pretty tough stuff for any elected official. Oh yeah, the pandemic, the closure of many businesses and recently all shrouded in a smoggy coat of particle from fires in three states.
