The first Thursday of each month is a free for all day at most Seattle museums, and the first Friday is free for seniors 62+ at the Seattle Art Museum. I always try to take advantage of this generous perk.
Thursday I visited the Panama Hotel, but also the Wing Luke Museum of the Asian Pacific American Experience. I enjoyed the Seattle street car through the International District.
The Danny Woo Community Garden was wonderful! Chard, kale, and collards all winter over here. People had already begun planting and sprouts were coming up.
They even have CHICKENS!
So much is blooming...my nose is itching... But it is so beautiful!
The current theme at the Wing parallels the story of the Panama Hotel and expands it to examine current trends to exclude or deport those whose ethnicity, color, religious beliefs, country of origin, etc. are other than those in power in the US: bans on immigration from mostly Muslim countries, the Mexican border wall, deportations.
The question being asked: Could this happen again? Is this happening again?
I am grateful that these were the messages I found at Katelyn's school when I dropped her off Thursday and Friday:
Today was the SAM, Seattle Art Museum!
First, some fun and crazy computer art...

A quick trip through Pike Place Market, just for the fun of it. Wow! Was it crowded!
And a full bus home. Whew! I am ready to rest!
And one more smile on the walk from the bus stop...
Now rest, rest, rest. Tomorrow we leave for our family trip to Zion National Park!
