Columbia City Cinema

Seattle's Coolest Neighborhood Theater

Sex and the City is the movie everyone's talking about and we still have it. Find out what Carrie Bradshaw and friends are doing now and, most important, what they're wearing. Read more.

Be sure to check our website for the most up-to-date movie information! Or, better yet, sign up for our weekly newsletter and get movie times delivered straight to your inbox. See you at the movies.

Columbia City Farmers Market

We're finally starting to see some cherries and strawberries — we expect more by next week.

This is the coolest, wettest spring we've seen in many years, and fruit crops are delayed as a result. Vegetables are plentiful though — fresh and healthy. Asparagus is still plentiful, and we've got all kinds of heirloom lettuces, unusual greens, fresh herbs, beautiful leeks, baby turnips. Plus plenty of organic eggs, poultry, and fabulous farmstead cheeses.

Live music this week from WB Reid and Bonnie Zahnow.

Columbia City Garden Tour

It's time to enjoy the Columbia City Garden Tour: flora and likely some fauna will be on display and available for touring on Saturday June 14, 2008, from 10 am to 4 pm.

In its 8th year, the tour features unique neighborhood gardens with participation from a Master Gardener. Tickets ($5) are available for purchase at several venues around the city.

We need some volunteers in the afternoon between 1-4pm to sell tickets either at the Columbia City Gallery or take tickets at the entrance to individual gardens on the tour. If you're willing to volunteer a couple of hours for a shift, contact Sue Gibbs (723-6511 or moc.liamg|85sbbiges#moc.liamg|85sbbiges). It should be a fun way to meet neighbors and see some interesting gardens!

Lakewood Seward Park monthly meeting

Representatives from the Seafair organization and the Danskin Triathlon will be at the Lakewood Seward Park meeting this month [Thursday] to talk about how what they do impacts Southeast Seattle. The Blue Angels fly on the weekend of August 1st, 2nd, and 3rd, and Danskin takes place on August 17th.

The Lakewood Seward Park clubhouse is located on the corner of 50th and Angeline just north of the PCC and the meeting starts at 7 p.m. Anyone interested is invited. You don't have to live in the neighborhood.

Also, we're having a Refresh Your Garden Day on July 19th from 10 a.m. till 4 p.m. We've lined up speakers, plants and seeds for sale, food, and fun. More to follow!

March for Youth

There is still time to help out and get involved. If you do not want to join either group heading out from the high schools, please just join us as we come through your neighborhood. Our number one goal is to include everyone! Following the march there will be a rally in Brighton Park — entertainment, speeches, and free food too! Please join members of many Seattle communities and come out to March For Youth on Saturday, June 21, 2008 at about 1:00pm.

street name-onics

We've got lots of great street names — how do we recall them? Downtown's got its Jesus Christ Made Seattle Under Pressure. We need our own street mnemonic.

Just think, decades from now your submission could be the one Columbia Citizens will still be using to recall their streets!

Otherwise… nothing new in news.

Columbia City in the blogossiphere

Amber at the Rainier Valley Post says she doesn't want direct links from the Wikli's blogossiphere over her concern that gossip just isn't her brand. We still encourage you to check out her blog.
