    CANCELED Women of the Woods (WOWs) |

    Licorice Fern Trail,

    Far Country Falls, De Leo Wall Hike

    6.25 mi and 850’ elevation gain

    Women of the Woods (WOWs) (formerly, Trail Trekkers) is a hiking group for members with prior hiking experience who like hiking 5-8 miles on trails with elevation of 700-1500 feet.

    Let’s enjoy the first signs of spring on lush green trails on the south side of Cougar Mt. We will see many western red cedars and ferns and check out Far Country viewpoint and falls. The trails are up and down, so while the elevation gain overall is low, you will be getting a good workout.

    Option: Lunch at Jay Berry’s 16341 Renton Issaquah Rd SE, Renton (parties of 8+ charged 18% gratuity)

    The Alltrails link: https://www.alltrails.com/trail/us/washington/licorice-fern-to-far-country-falls

    No restroom is available at the trailhead. The best options are the grocery stores (Safeway and QFC) and McDonalds on Coal Creek (about 3 miles south of 405). Allow extra time if you plan to stop.

    What to Bring/Wear: Water, snacks; wear good hiking boots and layers; pack a rain jacket. Hiking poles are advised.

    Know your abilities. You are responsible for your own safety. Please be prepared for being out in the woods. You are encouraged to bring the following 10 essentials:

    • A map or phone navigation app
    • Headlamp or Small flashlight
    • Sun protection

    Weston Lambert Glass Studio Tour

    Unfortunately this tour has been canceled because the artist is no longer able to host the group.   

    We'll meet Weston Lambert and tour his large studio for about an hour. He is an American mixed media sculptor and has exhibited locally and internationally. His breath-taking work must be seen to believe its fantastic qualities. He molds specialized glass to fit a variety of stones, adheres them together then grinds and polishes them into large, dramatic sculptures as well as smaller gem-like pieces. We guarantee you have seen nothing like it.

    Please look at the Weston Lambert website for more information! 

    From there, we'll drive a short way to The Fish Peddler for lunch followed by an 8-minute walk along the lively Foss Waterway to the front door of the Museum of Glass (optional visit). We’ll leave our cars at the restaurant. After the Museum, we’ll walk back to our cars.

    Around the Sound | Ken Ludwig’s Baskerville: A Sherlock Holmes Mystery 

    Get your deerstalker cap on—the play’s afoot! From multi-award-winning playwright KenLudwig (Sherwood: The Adventures of Robin Hood) and the Village Theatre production company comes a fast-paced adventure about everyone’s favorite detective solving his most notorious case.

    The male heirs of the Baskerville line are being dispatched one by one. To find their killer, Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson must crack the mystery of “The Hound of the Baskervilles” before a family curse dooms its newest heir. Watch as our intrepid investigators try to escape a dizzying web of clues, silly accents, disguises and deceit as five actors deftly portray more than 40 characters.

    Does a wild hellhound prowl the moors of Devonshire? Can our heroes discover the truth in time? Join the fun and see how far from elementary the truth can be. Sherlock Holmes becomes this leading Seattle theater actor’s latest role | The Seattle Times

    Consider enjoying an Everett area lunch beforehand or Happy Hour/early Dinner following. A list of restaurant possibilities is available if you are interested. It's fun and easier to socialize preceding or following the show than just at intermission. Unable to attend the 2pm matinee but still like to meet up for happy hour or dinner with the group, then attend the 7:30pm performance independently? That's also a possibility.

    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!

    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. At the end of each session, we spend a few minutes discussing a particular aspect of craft.

    These events are held on the 4th Tuesday of each month at 6pm in the private dining room of Bellevue Towers except during winter months (Jan-Apr) when we meet on Zoom.

    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!

    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. At the end of each session, we spend a few minutes discussing a particular aspect of craft.

    These events are held on the 4th Tuesday of each month at 6pm in the private dining room of Bellevue Towers except during winter months (Jan-Apr) when we meet on Zoom.

You will spend approximately 2 hours on your feet sorting or repacking food goods. If you haven't done it before, it is a fun camaraderie building event! Close-toed shoes are required and layered clothing recommended as it can be a little cold in the warehouse. To learn more about this valuable organization visit it their website foodlifeline.org.

    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!

    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. At the end of each session, we spend a few minutes discussing a particular aspect of craft.

    These events are held on the 4th Tuesday of each month at 6pm in the private dining room of Bellevue Towers except during winter months (Jan-Apr) when we meet on Zoom.

    Building Access:

    Enter Bellevue Towers at Retail Parking/Residential Amenities entrance on 106th NE behind the red art sculpture. Please arrive promptly at 6:00 pm and you will be met there and escorted to the private Community Dining room on the 5th floor. If you are late, text Gail Kretchmer at 425-495-3724.

    Parking Options:

    Bellevue Park Plaza (outdoors): 560 106th Ave NE, across from Bellevue Towers entrance, Evening rate $5.00

    Lincoln Square South: 405 105th Ave NE, two blocks from Bellevue Towers entrance. Free if departing after 8pm

    Bellevue Square Mall: Free

    Limited street parking is available. Note that retail parking is also available at Bellevue Towers but it’s expensive ($20 for 2-6 hours).

    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!

    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. At the end of each session, we spend a few minutes discussing a particular aspect of craft.

    These events are held on the 4th Tuesday of each month at 6pm in the private dining room of Bellevue Towers except during winter months (Jan-Apr) when we meet on Zoom.

    Building Access:

    Enter Bellevue Towers at Retail Parking/Residential Amenities entrance on 106th NE behind the red art sculpture. Please arrive promptly at 6:00 pm and you will be met there and escorted to the private Community Dining room on the 5th floor. If you are late, text Gail Kretchmer at 425-495-3724.

    Parking Options:

    Bellevue Park Plaza (outdoors): 560 106th Ave NE, across from Bellevue Towers entrance, Evening rate $5.00

    Lincoln Square South: 405 105th Ave NE, two blocks from Bellevue Towers entrance. Free if departing after 8pm

    Bellevue Square Mall: Free

    Limited street parking is available. Note that retail parking is also available at Bellevue Towers but it’s expensive ($20 for 2-6 hours).

    Carpooling is recommended.

    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!

    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. At the end of each session, we spend a few minutes discussing a particular aspect of craft.

    These events are held on the 4th Tuesday of each month at 6pm in the private dining room of Bellevue Towers except during winter months (Jan-Apr) when we meet on Zoom.

    Building Access:

    Enter Bellevue Towers at Retail Parking/Residential Amenities entrance on 106th NE behind the red art sculpture. Please arrive promptly at 6:00 pm and you will be met there and escorted to the private Community Dining room on the 5th floor. If you are late, text Gail Kretchmer at 425-495-3724.

    Parking Options:

    Bellevue Park Plaza (outdoors): 560 106th Ave NE, across from Bellevue Towers entrance, Evening rate $5.00

    Lincoln Square South: 405 105th Ave NE, two blocks from Bellevue Towers entrance. Free if departing after 8pm

    Bellevue Square Mall: Free

    Limited street parking is available. Note that retail parking is also available at Bellevue Towers but it’s expensive ($20 for 2-6 hours).

    Carpooling is recommended.

    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!

    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. At the end of each session, we spend a few minutes discussing a particular aspect of craft.

    These events are held on the 4th Tuesday of each month at 6pm in the private dining room of Bellevue Towers except during winter months (Jan-Apr) when we meet on Zoom.

    Building Access:

    Enter Bellevue Towers at Retail Parking/Residential Amenities entrance on 106th NE behind the red art sculpture. Please arrive promptly at 6:00 pm and you will be met there and escorted to the private Community Dining room on the 5th floor. If you are late, text Gail Kretchmer at 425-495-3724.

    Parking Options:

    Bellevue Park Plaza (outdoors): 560 106th Ave NE, across from Bellevue Towers entrance, Evening rate $5.00

    Lincoln Square South: 405 105th Ave NE, two blocks from Bellevue Towers entrance. Free if departing after 8pm

    Bellevue Square Mall: Free

    Limited street parking is available. Note that retail parking is also available at Bellevue Towers but it’s expensive ($20 for 2-6 hours).

    Carpooling is recommended.

    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!

    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. At the end of each session, we spend a few minutes discussing a particular aspect of craft.

    These events are held on the 4th Tuesday of each month at 6pm in the private dining room of Bellevue Towers except during winter months (Jan-Apr) when we meet on Zoom.

    Building Access:

    Enter Bellevue Towers at Retail Parking/Residential Amenities entrance on 106th NE behind the red art sculpture. Please arrive promptly at 6:00 pm and you will be met there and escorted to the private Community Dining room on the 5th floor. If you are late, text Gail Kretchmer at 425-495-3724.

    Parking Options:

    Bellevue Park Plaza (outdoors): 560 106th Ave NE, across from Bellevue Towers entrance, Evening rate $5.00

    Lincoln Square South: 405 105th Ave NE, two blocks from Bellevue Towers entrance. Free if departing after 8pm

    Bellevue Square Mall: Free

    Limited street parking is available. Note that retail parking is also available at Bellevue Towers but it’s expensive ($20 for 2-6 hours).

    Carpooling is recommended.

    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!

    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. At the end of each session, we spend a few minutes discussing a particular aspect of craft.

    These events are held on the 4th Tuesday of each month at 6pm in the private dining room of Bellevue Towers except during winter months (Jan-Apr) when we meet on Zoom.

    Building Access:

    Enter Bellevue Towers at Retail Parking/Residential Amenities entrance on 106th NE behind the red art sculpture. Please arrive promptly at 6:00 pm and you will be met there and escorted to the private Community Dining room on the 5th floor. If you are late, text Gail Kretchmer at 425-495-3724.

    Parking Options:

    Bellevue Park Plaza (outdoors): 560 106th Ave NE, across from Bellevue Towers entrance, Evening rate $5.00

    Lincoln Square South: 405 105th Ave NE, two blocks from Bellevue Towers entrance. Free if departing after 8pm

    Bellevue Square Mall: Free

    Limited street parking is available. Note that retail parking is also available at Bellevue Towers but it’s expensive ($20 for 2-6 hours).
