The big picture is that the Seattle Sounders have one more tune up after their 4-2 loss to expansion side Atlanta United FC last Wednesday in game two of the three-game 2017 Carolina Challenge Cup. The Sounders might have lost the battle, but the big picture focus this offseason is to integrate of season additions in preparation of a fierce title defense.

Offseason signings Henry Wingo and Will Bruin each found the net in the second half, but Seattle was unable to overcome a four-goal deficit at MUSC Health Stadium in Charleston.

The Rave Green will complete the Challenge Cup play on Saturday, February 25 against Columbus Crew SC (1:30 p.m. PT / Live-streamed on SoundersFC.com). The defending MLS Champions will kick off the MLS regular season Saturday, March against the Houston Dynamo at BBVA Compass Stadium in Houston

In Wednesday’s first-ever matchup between the Sounders FC and Atlanta, the MLS newcomers found two goals within the first three minutes of the contest. Josef Martinez got Atlanta off the blocks early after intercepting an errant pass from Sounders FC guest player Quinton Griffith in Seattle‘s half of the field. Just two minutes later, United midfielder Julian Gressel was bumped inside his own area by Seattle guest player Darrius Barnes, leading to a penalty-kick for Tata Martino’s club. Paraguayan international Miguel Almirón made quick work of the opportunity, doubling Atlanta’s advantage.

Atlanta earned a third goal before the halftime whistle, as Argentine winger Hector Villalba got on the scoresheet against the Rave Green in the 21^st minute of play. A fourth Atlanta goal was scored in the 47^th minute, with Martinez bagging his second of the night via a chip shot over Seattle goalkeeper Bryan Meredith.

Seattle‘s attack finally got going in the 62^nd minute, as Wingo combined with Bruin to make the score 1-0. For the Homegrown Player from the University of Washington, the strike was his first professional goal after being whistled offside during a scoring attempt on February 18 versus Charleston.

Gressel was issued two successive yellow cards in the 69^th minute, forcing his removal from the contest, giving Atlanta 10 men for the remainder of the match. Sounders FC capitalized in the 75^th minute, as Joevin Jones found Bruin on a counter-attack, allowing the target forward to place a header toward Atlanta’s far post and into the back of the net.

Sounders FC captain Osvaldo Alonso made his preseason debut when he came on for Zach Mathers in the 71^st minute. Alonso was held from all previous preseason matches while recovering from a late-season knee injury.

Michael Moss has managed the Red Apple since 1996. 4Culture, King County’s cultural funding agency, is currently ordering grants to support projects by individuals and groups working in our vibrant cultural community. It’s one of their largest grant programs and one you should know about, especially if you are a King County resident and are an artist, historian, part of an art organization, heritage group, or own a historic property. They divide the grant up into three disciplines: arts, heritage, and preservation.
Community historian and Central District resident Jill Freidberg received a 2016 Heritage Projects grant to document the stories of the Red Apple grocery store at 23rd Avenue and Jackson Street before it is torn down to make way for new development. She is one of a team of media-makers, historians, and youth producing Shelf Life, a community storytelling project motivated by the rapid change taking place in Seattle’s Central Area neighborhood.
Have an idea for a project of your own? 4Culture is now accepting applications to fund art projects through March 1 and applications for heritage and preservation special projects through March 8. More information at 4Culture.org.

“A Disaster Preparedness Meeting”

February 19, 2017 by NWFacts Leave a Comment

Map Your Neighborhood (MYN) is a state-wide disaster preparedness program that empowers neighborhoods to prepare for emergencies and disaster situations. MYN is a wonderful resource that was designed with every neighborhood, community and individual in mind. MYN is designed to improve disaster readiness at the neighborhood level; urban homes; rural areas and in condos/apartment complexes; office buildings, etc…. MYN teaches neighbors to rely on each other during the hours or days before fire, medical, police, or utility responders arrive.
In a disaster your most immediate source of help are the neighbors living around you!
How should you prepare for an earthquake? What supplies will you need?
How much water should you have on hand?
Do you know how important it is to be able to rely on your neighbors or those around you?
The reality is that most neighborhoods will be on their own for the first hours following
disaster, maybe for as long as three days or even longer! If people have been hurt, if there’s a fire, if property has been damaged, the real first responders will be you and your neighbors. Fire, police, medical and 9-1-1 personnel will be overwhelmed dealing with immediate life-threatening demands.
We believe we are just weeks away from this disaster occurring!
* Come and Learn the first 9 Steps to take immediately following a Disaster to secure
your home and protect your neighborhood. It is hard to think clearly following a disaster.
These steps will help you quickly and safely take actions that can minimize damage and
protect lives.

In Loving Memory of Russell Bash

February 19, 2017 by NWFacts Leave a Comment

Russell Bash, of Seattle, WA, went home to be with the Lord on Sunday, February 12, 2017. Born on March 28, 1953 in Seattle to Richard and Lois Bash, he had a beautiful family that he loved dearly. They included his wife Gloria of 26 years; children Shelly, Triana, Nicolas, and son-in-law Neal; grandchildren Trejon, Emoni, Dustin, Jailen, and Erin; and siblings Sherry, Rickie (Malone), David, Kathy, Annette, Regina, Matt, Joseph, and Karen; and a host of other family that he loved so very much. He cherished time with family and looked forward to talks with his siblings where he would often share all of the special updates about his children and grandchildren. In addition to his family he had many friends that spanned 6 decades. He never met a stranger and saw the good in everybody–ranging from his old “geriatric set” whom he went on fishing expeditions with in Alaska to the local Turkish barista who referred to dad fondly as his “young man” friend. His quick wit and encouraging words kept a smile on the faces of everyone he met. And being a self-made man, he raised himself up by his bootstraps and lived the American dream. As a young black man he worked tirelessly up the ranks in the Seattle trucking industry and ultimately retired as a successful Operations Manager from a local trucking company. He generously shared the fruits of his success with others and also made wise investments–lessons his children will pass down to the next generations. He is a role model that many hope to mimic, even if it’s just in some small ways. Russell will be greatly missed. His viewing will be held at Columbia Funeral Home on Wednesday, February 15, 2017 at 4pm-8pm. His funeral service will be held at Immaculate Conception located at 820 18th Ave Seattle, WA on Thursday, February 16, 2017 at 10am. Memorial donations may be made in Russell’s name to St. Paul’s School or Parish located at 10001 57th Avenue South Seattle, WA 98178.
