Seagull performs a water ballet with mallards at Log Boom Park in March 2015. (The third duck is a little out of position. Tsk.) Posted for the WPC with the “dance” theme.
Name a Seattle Park
This is short notice, since the deadline is March 31st, but one of you may be waiting for this opportunity. New parks in Ballard and the U District, and three park sites in the Thornton Creek watershed in north Seattle all need naming. You can read all the details here.
Seattle Parks & Rec Scholarships
Seattle Parks and Recreation runs a vast variety of programs through the community centers throughout the year. Activities include art, swimming, sports, camps, and so much more. Of special interest to many of my readers are Lifelong Recreation with all kinds of programs designed for people aged 50+ and Specialized Programs for those of all ages with disabilities.
Parks and Rec offers scholarships each year to qualifying individuals and families, including seniors and the disabled. Scholarships are based on income and family size, and can be applied to program/class fees in order to make them accessible to everyone. I believe the scholarships are sliding scale, meaning they range from small discounts to making programs entirely free, based on need.

I love the way water brings out the color and texture of rocks. Posted for Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge with the “things that are wet” topic. Photo taken at Magnuson Park in November 2015.
