I am really excited to join you tonight as the honorary chair for this amazing event. We’ve come together tonight to celebrate a wonderful organization in our community that makes such a difference for families when they need it most. The Seattle Ronald McDonald House is home to 500 families a year who come to Seattle so that their children are able to receive the medical care they need. These families face so many challenges when they arrive -- a child fighting a potentially life-threatening diagnosis, being away from family and friends, mounting financial worries and the need to keep the family strong and together through a tough time. Each one of these families, once they walk through the doors of our Ronald McDonald House, have an immediate support group and a clean, safe place to call home for as long as they need it. That makes me very proud of our Seattle community! At Metropolitan Market, making contributions to our community is core to our mission and guiding principles. Our Sand Point store developed a great partnership with the Seattle Ronald McDonald House when we opened our doors in 2003, and we are very proud of the relationship and community support we have developed over the last 13 years. We contribute annual funds for the House, our team members volunteer through the year and we see the Ronald McDonald house families every day in the store. This partnership has been a very special part of the culture and experience at our Sand Point store. I am so honored to be here tonight, joining all of you to make sure that our Ronald McDonald House is well supported by the community for the children and families they serve. I hope that you will enjoy your evening and that you will be generous in your participation. Thank you for your support not only tonight, but also throughout the year. Todd Korman CEO and President Metropolitan Market Western Washington McDonald’s thanks you for your years of gracious support. With every Happy Meal®, Mighty Kids Meal®, or French Fries sold, we’ll donate a portion of the proceeds to RMHC. Together, with your donations to the GIVE-A-HAND® fundraiser and our in-store donation boxes, we’re keeping The House That Love Built™ stronger than ever.

Your support is directed specifically toward need-based financial aid. We all benefit by ensuring that Providence is financially accessible to a wide group of families, and your contribution to this effort is much appreciated. This year’s auction theme, “Awakening Wonder,” resonates with classical, Christian education. A primary goal at Providence is to encourage and inspire students to think beyond themselves, to marvel at not only God’s creation, but to marvel at the holiness of God. All of learning culminates in a person: Jesus Christ. In Him all things cohere (Colossians 1:17); In Him we find truth and a path to the Father (John 14:6); in Him we live, and move, and have our being (Acts 17:28). To awaken wonder is to teach in a way that allows the student to see God’s truth in all reality, to see beyond the material, and to meditate on the higher things.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE August 2016 Contact: Wendy Malloy Museum of History & Industry P.R. [email protected] (206) 324-1126 ext. 150 SEATTLE’S MUSEUM OF HISTORY & INDUSTRY PRESENTS EDIBLE CITY: A DELICIOUS JOURNEY New exhibition reveals Seattle’s culinary history from raw ingredients to polished plates Edible City: A Delicious Journey November 19, 2016 – September 10, 2017 SEATTLE, WA – In Seattle, food has always meant more than a meal. The city’s journey from the earliest oyster middens to the modern four-star restaurants is a reflection of Seattle’s geography, history, and people. Edible City: A Delicious Journey, organized by Seattle’s Museum of History & Industry (MOHAI) and on view Nov 19, 2016 – Sept 10, 2017, serves up the story of how Seattleites eat in their city and how urban palates have developed over the years. Curated by two-time James Beard Award winning food writer Rebekah Denn, Edible City uncovers the secret history of Seattle’s favorite foods. You’ll learn the origins of the Rainier cherry, view the recipe that inspired the phenomenal Cinnabon, see treasures from the long history of Pike Place Market, get acquainted with the man behind the city’s first sushi bar, and debate Seattle’s signature dishes. Our displays include items close to the city’s heart and histories, from Seattle’s first espresso cart to the tools of the former Sagamiya bakery.

  • The Best of Seattle
    03 541277 Ch01.qxd 11/17/03 9:37 AM Page 3 1 The Best of Seattle Imagine yourself sitting in a park on the Seattle waterfront, a double-tall latte and an almond croissant close at hand. The snowy peaks of the Olympic Moun- tains are shimmering on the far side of Puget Sound, and the ferryboats are com- ing and going across Elliott Bay. It’s a summer day, and the sun is shining. (Hey, as long as we’re dreaming, why not dream big?) It just doesn’t get much better than this, unless of course you swap the latte for a microbrew and catch a 9:30 summer sunset. No wonder people love this town so much. Okay, so the waterfront is as touristy as San Francisco’s Fisherman’s Wharf, but what a view! Seattle is a city of views, and the must-see vista is, of course, the panorama from the top of the Space Needle. With the 21st century in full swing, this image of the future looks decidedly mid-20th-century modern, but still, it’s hard to resist an expensive elevator ride in any city. And you can even take a monorail straight out of The Jetsons to get there (and pass right through the Frank Gehry–designed Experience Music Project en route). EMP, as the Experience Music Project has come to be known, is one of Seat- tle’s latest architectural oddities. Its swooping, multicolored, metal-skinned bulk rises at the foot of the Space Needle, proof that real 21st-century architecture looks nothing like the vision of the future people dreamed of when the Space Needle was built for the 1962 Seattle World’s Fair.
