‘Oil and Water IV – The Year That Took the Wind Out of Our Sails’

From the Artist: “Something struck me recently. It seems so long ago that the world collectively cringe-watched Tiger King or thought about being stung by a murderous giant hornet. I’m not sure exactly why these relatively recent events feel so distant, but I think that it must have something to do with the fact that this year has been so jam-packed full of emotionally and mentally exhausting news that what once felt abnormal and therefore stayed fresh in our memories has been pushed aside to give our minds space to fry the proverbial bigger fish.I know that most of us would probably prefer to just forget that this year ever happened. I don’t know that there’s ever been a more popular wish list item than the one that reads “Let 2020 end”. That being said, I tend to take the optimistic stance that we’ll get through it and ultimately be better for it, if we can remember, learn, and adapt from the experiences we’ve had this year. With that in mind, I thought I’d try to capture 2020 as beautifully and colorfully as I could, using a form of art that was once widely viewed as nothing more than vandalism. Each of the tags in this piece represent something significant (to the world at large as well as in my own personal life). The passing of Ruth Bater Ginsberg and Kobe Bryant (among other greats), the momentum of the Black Lives Matter movement in response to so many lost or marginalized lives, Covid and the new ways through which humans interact (Zoom), etc. I suppose at the end of the day, it’s up to each of us to decide how we deal with this year and move forward. This painting was how I chose to go about it.”

He could have named this "Tag Ship"

Three Republican-held seats in Washington state could be lost in November

Three Republican-held seats in Washington state could be lost in November

Seattle-area primary results are below, but we want to highlight some interesting developments from outside our area, where three Republican-held seats are showing vulnerabilities.

In Clark County, on the Oregon border, longtime Republican incumbent Rep. Jaime Herrera Beutler is leading her Democrat challenger Carolyn Long by just four percentage points. Clark County is purple — Clinton and Trump were neck and neck in 2016 — and its voters have long been loyal to Beutler. This signifies a possible shift.

Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers, the Spokane Republican, was also leading the Democrat in her race, Lisa Brown, by less than half a percentage point, 47.5-47.1. (Trump beat Clinton 49-41 in Spokane County in 2016.)

And then there’s the open race in the 8th congressional district, currently held by outgoing Republican congressman Dave Reichert of Pierce County. Although Dino Rossi – yes, that Republican Dino Rossi – garnered nearly 40 percent of the vote, Dr. Kim Schrier may pick up the votes that were cast for the two other Democrats in November.

“Dino better be worried,” she said on Tuesday night.

If you couldn’t make it to the community meeting with 46th Legislative District representatives, here’s a video (h/t Dave Crowther for shooting). Great showing by the community trying to Save 35th Ave NE.

Some great perspectives and interesting information, including the gentleman who pointed out that the changes to 35th Ave NE don’t meet the state and city’s own standards for appropriate widths for parking and lanes. 

Thanks to our legislators Rep. Pollet (who organized), Rep. Juarez, and Sen. Frockt for taking the time to speak with the community and hearing that 7 out of 10 oppose these changes.
