From Layup to Legacy: Sue Bird Immortalized in Bronze By Laura Marie Rivera

Sue Bird stands before her newly unveiled statue outside Climate Pledge Arena
eattle made history today, unveiling a bronze statue of Sue Bird outside Climate Pledge Arena—the first statue honoring a WNBA player and the first in the city dedicated to a female athlete. The tribute recognizes Bird’s legendary career with the Seattle Storm and her lasting impact on the city, the league, and generations of fans. Bird, the Storm’s No. 1 draft pick in 2002, spent 21 seasons with Seattle, becoming the face of the franchise and one of the most celebrated athletes in basketball history. Over the course of her career, she secured four WNBA championships with the Storm, five Olympic gold medals with Team USA, 13 All-Star selections, and a place atop the league’s alltime lists for games and minutes played. Beyond her accolades, she became a symbol of excellence, leadership, and longevity in professional sports. The unveiling drew city and state leaders, fans, and former teammates to Climate Pledge Arena’s plaza, where Mayor Bruce
A New Look at Pansies Erica Browne Grivas

ost people think of pansies and violas as cute but unremarkable shoulder-season fillers for containers. Think again. Pansies are getting a major makeover, and Camano Island flower farmer Brenna Estrada (@threebrothersblooms) wants us to see their true star power and elegance. Estrada, who trained at Floret Flower Farm after serving in law enforcement and the Marine Corps, began looking more closely at violas and pansies—and quickly became fascinated by their unique charms. After diving into texts from 1800s pansy enthusiasts, she started trialing varieties on her 2.5-acre island farm. She discovered that, contrary to popular belief, pansies aren’t just short-stemmed, partialshade workhorses—they thrive in full sun. “Sun yields the healthiest plants and the most spectacular flowers,” Estrada writes in her new book Pansies. In full sun, pansies stretch
their stems to 14 or even 20 inches, lending a lush, wild appeal. She makes the case that despite their modest size, pansies pack serious flower power. They bloom longer and are easier to grow in varied conditions—like containers—than dahlias, irises, or roses. Did you know pansies are the cultivated descendants of the romantic viola, or heartsease (Viola tricolor)? Famous for their painted “faces,” pansies and violas are also used in crafts and cooking—
"Sun yields the healthiest plants and the most spectacular flowers" from floral paper and botanical stamping to decorating cakes and cocktails. While once prized for bouquets and love potions, Estrada notes that modern breeding shortened them for bedding plants and containers. But these new varieties retain their toughness and adaptability (growing in nearly every hardiness zone), and many are excellent cut flowers, lasting up to two weeks with their full stems. Plus, many offer delightful fragrance.
Estrada’s enthusiasm has created a buzz in the floral community. Pansies showcases 50 varieties in mouthwatering colors, shapes, and fragrances that differ dramatically from the typical nursery offerings. Many are as ruffled as an Elizabethan collar, in hues as rich as a Medieval tapestry. Trialing 100 varieties annually, Estrada shares growing tips tailored for Pacific Northwest challenges—like slugs (she recommends ducks), wet springs, and dry summers. She grows mostly from seed, which promotes better stem length and lets her hunt down unusual varieties. Her favorites range from ruffled ‘Can Can’ to striking ‘Tiger Eye.’ There’s even a section of black pansies and violas—perfect for elegant contrast. Among the most fragrant are the honey-hued viola ‘Deltini Copperfield’ and the sweetly scented, charming cerise ‘Bunny Ears.’ Another scented standout is ‘Floral Days Morning Dew,’ with petite raspberry, lemon, or peach flowers that release a chocolatey aroma. Some varieties like ‘Matrix’— known for heat tolerance—‘Delta,’ and the ‘Frizzle Sizzle’ series can be found at garden centers, but many

Harrell reflected on Bird’s influence both on and off the court. Harrell, who played football at the University of Washington, noted the shared experience of being a Husky—though Bird famously led the University of Connecticut Huskies to two NCAA championships. With a nod to her enduring legacy, Harrell officially proclaimed August 17 “Sue Bird Day” in Seattle. State Representative Julia Reed echoed that sentiment, emphasizing the groundbreaking significance of Bird’s honor. Representing Washington’s 36th Legislative District, which she noted has the only all-female delegation in the city, Reed declared it “Sue Bird Day” across the state of Washington. King County Council Chair Girmay Zahilay took the celebration a step further, bringing his young daughter on stage to witness the moment firsthand. He said he wanted her to look back and know she was a part of history, and to look forward and know that anything is possible. “That’s what Sue represents, and that’s what her statue represents.” He then proclaimed the day “Sue Bird Day” on behalf of King County.
When athletes are honored with statues, they’re often remembered in iconic poses—Michael Jordan’s dunk, Magic Johnson’s no-look pass. Bird got to choose her own. She selected a layup, a deceptively simple move that carried personal weight. Her first career points at Climate Pledge Arena came from a layup, and so did her final basket before retiring. The likeness was sculpted by renowned artist Julie Rotblatt Amrany, who has created iconic works honoring sports legends across the country. With Bird’s input, Rotblatt Amrany crafted a figure that captures not just the motion of a layup but the spirit of an athlete whose career spanned two decades in one city. Fans and teammates marveled at the likeness, praising how the sculpture captured not just her form but her essence. For Bird, the honor was equal parts humbling and affirming, “This statue will make sure a piece of me stays in this city forever, just like this city will always be a part of me.” Bird’s statue marks a breakthrough in representation—an acknowledg-

Survey Names Washington’s Favorite Main Street Businesses
Dick's Drive-In is a Seattle institution
D
ick’s Drive-In, the Seattle burger institution known for its simple menu, cashonly policy and tasty, relatively inexpensive food, has been named Washington’s favorite Main Street business in a statewide survey. The survey by MarketBeat.com, a financial media company, polled 3,004 residents about their favorite locally owned, independent businesses. Dick’s, founded in 1954, topped the list for its classic fare and cultural staying power. They now have 10 locations. The no-frills burger joint is a late-night stop for teens, a refueling station for musicians and a landmark where no one seems to mind waiting.
MarketBeat described the results as a celebration of “unsung heroes of hometown pride” - the kinds of businesses where the staff know customers by name, the recipes haven’t changed and the atmosphere feels as familiar as family. While the menu has remained simple (the popular Dick's Deluxe burger was not added to the menu until 1971), orange swirl ice cream was recently added to the menu. Chocolate, vanilla, chocolate chip mint, cookies and cream, huckleberry and chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream is also available, as well as their hand-dipped chocolate, vanilla and strawberry shakes.

Savvy Senior: How to Find a Great Handyman By Jim Miller Dear Savvy Senior, What’s the best way to find a good handyman or tradesman that can help with small jobs around the house? -Almost 75
D
ear Almost, It’s a great question. Finding a good home repair/handyman can be a bit of a crapshoot. How do you find someone who will return your calls or texts, show up on time, do the job right and finish it, all at a fair price? Here are a few tips and resources that can help you search. WHAT KIND OF HELP While it may seem obvious, whom you call on for help will depend on what you need done. If, for example, you have an odd job or small home repair project that doesn’t require a lot of technical expertise, a handyperson may be all you need. But if you have a job that involves electricity, plumbing, or heating or cooling systems, you’re better off going with a licensed tradesman. Bigger jobs like home renovations or remodeling may require a general contractor.
WHERE TO FIND A PRO Whatever type of work you need, the best way to find it is through referrals from people you trust. If your friends or family don’t have any recommendations turn to professionals in the field like local hardware or home improvement stores, or even real estate agents. If you don’t have any luck here, there are a number of online resources you can turn to that can quickly connect you to a wide variety of skilled workers in your area.
If you need someone for a home chore or small job, a popular option is Taskrabbit (taskrabbit.com), which lists thousands of freelance workers (called Taskers) that have undergone background checks. Here you can get help with things like furniture assembly; lifting or moving heavy items; mounting or hanging TVs, shelves or pictures; minor home repairs; cleaning services; yard work and more. Taskers set their own hourly rates, which are displayed on their website before you book. Some other good options for locating handypeople are fix-it franchises like Ace Handyman (acehandymanservices.com) and Mr. Handyman (mrhandyman.com). These companies vet and insure their staff, but they may be more expensive than Taskrabbit. Or, if you use social networking sites, you could also post a request for a handyperson in your Facebook group or on Nextdoor (nextdoor. com). If, however, you’re in the market for specialist like a plumber, electrician, painter, roofer or carpenter as well as a handyperson, try Angi (angi.com). They too, vet their independent contractors, and will let you request quotes from several candidates. Thumbtack (thumbtack.com) is another good resource that’s similar to Angi, but they offer more details like average response time, specifics about the work they do, and photos of past projects. THINGS TO KNOW Once you’ve located a few candidates, here are some steps you can take to protect your money and ensure you’re satisfied with the results. First, get a handwritten estimate or digital contract that list the tasks and the hourly rate or project fee. Also, ask to see their proof of insurance, which covers any damages they may cause while working on your home, and ask for several references from past jobs. You should also pay after the work is done, not before. But it’s not unusual to be asked for a small deposit for material costs up front. And if possible, you should pay with a credit card, because you can dispute the payment if something goes wrong with the job. Checks and electronic payments like PayPay, Venmo and Zelle don’t offer the same level of protection. Send your questions or comments to questions@savvysenior.org, or to Savvy Senior, P.O. Box 5443, Norman, OK 73070.

Seattle Choral Company presents: Christmas in Latvia
A
Latvian Christmas is a vibrant blend of Christian traditions and ancient pagan customs. While the holiday celebrates the birth of Christ with church services, carols, and festive meals, it also preserves centuries-old winter solstice rituals. These include mummers’ parades, fortune-telling, and the burning of logs to chase away evil spirits and welcome the sun. This unique fusion creates a rich and magical atmosphere that reflects Latvia’s deep cultural roots and seasonal spirit. The works of the four Latvian composers featured on this program offer a musical journey through centuries of Latvian Christmas traditions, reflecting both sa-
cred and folk influences that continue to shape the nation’s holiday celebrations.

ment of women’s contributions to sports at the highest level. For Seattle, it signals the city’s commitment to honoring its trailblazers. For the WNBA, it sets a precedent for future generations of players whose legacies deserve to be cast in bronze. The day’s proclamations—from city, county, and state leaders—underscored the far-reaching significance of Bird’s career. Yet the most powerful moments came from the children in the crowd, wide-eyed as they looked up at the towering figure of a woman whose excellence has been permanently etched into Seattle’s landscape. As Bird stood before her likeness, the cheers from the fans echoed the gratitude of a city she helped put on the basketball map. For Seattle, Sue Bird is more than a champion—she’s family. And now, her legacy has a permanent home outside the arena where it all began and ended, with a layup.

are fresh new faces. In particular, ‘Mulberry Shades’ stands out with its unique, smoldering decorator color. Estrada writes, “Letting your eyes linger on a vase of ‘Mulberry Shades’ as you drift off to sleep provides the same entrancing calm as watching embers in a dying fire.” Worth trying, if you ask me. I also need Flamenco ‘Terracotta’ in my life—shifting from soft honey to “sorceress purple” with painted whiskers in every imaginable sunset hue. PANSY GROWING TIPS FOR LONG-LASTING COLOR Growing in USDA hardiness zone 8a, Estrada finds her pansies can flower all season if protected from the hottest afternoon sun (they struggle over 90°F), with some gardener TLC. Pansies bloom so prolifically they can literally bloom themselves to death, so periodic rest is essential. Besides keeping them well-watered, try these tips: • Plant (spring or fall) early enough to develop strong roots. Pansies prefer humusy, moistureretentive loam. Mulching keeps roots cool. • Choose a spot shielded from blistering afternoon sun and protect plants from slugs and snails. • To encourage pansies to return for another year (some do better than others), trim foliage and flowers significantly the first year to favor root development. Mulch well for winter and amend soil with organic matter to replenish nutrients.

Pansies (and Violas) create beauty • Deadhead regularly, and once a month cut back all flowers and buds to give plants a rest. If stressed, a light trim encourages new growth. • Fertilize plants and soil weekly with compost tea or liquid seaweed spray. • When sowing seeds, Estrada recommends starting indoors in January for mid-spring blooms or in May for flowers that last through most of winter. Though
some say seeds need darkness to germinate, she’s had success sowing them on the soil surface for faster sprouting. You can learn from Estrada in person at Sky Nursery in Shoreline on Sept. 20th at her free talk, “Pansies Reimagined,” from 11:00 a.m. -noon.
