Storytelling Salon (Tuesday, September 22, 2026)

Wed, 23 Sep 2026 01:00:00 GMT

Storytelling Salon

Storytelling Salon is an interest group for members to socialize and share stories with one another. We start with a happy hour with hors d’oeuvres and beverages (bring your favorite to share), and then we move into our stories. Whether you prefer to read your story or present it without notes, you’ll have an opportunity to share whatever your heart desires, including tales of lost love, wild times, and strange people! We offer optional writing prompts each month.

Fashioned after The Moth events, speakers have just five minutes to present. But instead of voting for winners (which happens at The Moth events), listeners just offer up their compliments about content, craft, and delivery. This is not about critique or competition; rather, our group thrives on respect, support and encouragement, and having a safe space. We are genuinely interested in strengthening friendships and hearing each other. And having fun!

These events are held on the 4th Tuesday of each month at 6pm. We generally meet in person from May through October and on Zoom from November through April. Unless otherwise noted, we meet in the private dining room of Bellevue Towers. Participants gather outside the building at 505 106th Avenue NE, at the red art sculpture, for access to the building at 6:00 pm.

Members are encouraged to attend in person during the summer season because that’s the best way to build a sense of camaraderie. But if health, travel, or work obligations preclude in-person attendance, arrangements can be made for you to call in on Zoom. Please notify Gail Kretchmer at least 24 hours in advance if you need to access Zoom.

Registration opens: Tuesday, September 1

You will need to use a flight of stairs to get to the main level.

Get Fit & Hike | Wallace Falls State Park (Monday, October 05, 2026)

Mon, 05 Oct 2026 17:00:00 GMT

Wallace Falls State Park

Dust off your hiking boots and grab your hiking poles for a challenging but rewarding hike at Wallace Falls State Park, which features a stunning series of waterfalls.

Hike description: We will be hiking on the Woody Trail up to the 265-foot Middle Falls and back down, for a total of about 4.5 miles and approximately 1200 feet elevation gain. After walking 1/4 mile on a gravel road, we'll head into the woods and ascend through moss-covered trees along the Wallace River, eventually crossing the river and beginning a steady climb up the other side through a series of switchbacks until we reach a picnic shelter with a good view of the Lower Falls. Then the trail becomes more rugged, with exposed roots and rocks, and about .3 miles later we'll reach the fenced overlook for the Middle Falls, with a panoramic view of the Skykomish River Valley and the Olympic Mountains on the distant horizon.

Wallace Falls via Woody Trail Map

Note: This hike is for experienced hikers who are able to hike on steep, rugged trails. Wear sturdy hiking boots, and hiking poles are strongly recommended. The hike is subject to cancellation in the event of nearby wildfires or unhealthy air quality due to wildfire smoke.

Bring plenty of water, a hat and sunscreen.

For those who want to continue the fun after the hike, there is an option for lunch on the way home at local favorite Maltby Cafe, 8809 Maltby Rd. (approximately 1/2-hour drive from Wallace Falls on Hwy 2).

Parking: Park in the parking lot; Washington State Parks Discover Pass or $10 payment required.
