This month’s art in Pinehurst Pocket Park is a celebration of the return of salmon to Thornton Creek for the first time in eight years. At this year’s Pinehurstfest, Thornton Creek Alliance had a table where kids could color hats made of two salmon. I unstapled a hat and colored one of the salmon for this art. It’s in the pocket park kiosk through December. The park is at NE 117th St & 19th Ave NE. If you would like to submit your child’s artwork (or yours!) for the Pocket Park, please email nancy@pinehurstseattle.org.

Sound Transit’s new Northgate Station Garage will open and three Northgate park-and-ride areas will be closed (see red areas on map below) on Monday, Nov. 19. The four-floor garage, located at the future Northgate light rail station, will provide nearly 450 parking spaces at the busy Northgate Transit Center. Even though Northgate Station will open in 2021, Sound Transit is opening the garage early for transit riders. How to use the new garage Enter Level 1 of the garage from Northeast 103rd Street. Parking permit holders should proceed down to Level 4 where the reserved spaces are located. Others may park on Levels 1-3 of the garage. Permit parking spaces are open to first-come, first-served parking on weekends and after 9 a.m. on weekdays. New Reserved Parking Permit option The Northgate Station Garage will be the first Sound Transit facility to offer a reserved parking permit option for people driving alone. Current carpool permit holders may renew, and transit riders may obtain free carpool parking permits. https://www.soundtransit.org/northgatestation/northgate-transit-center-park-and-ride |
