  Windcliff Plants

  On a south-facing bluff in Indianola sits a botanical “salad bowl” known as Windcliff. A garden mixture of plants from around the world, it houses a diverse array of species. Plants from China and Vietnam are well represented but South African species especially love the climate and populate the garden, much like loading a salad with lots of croutons.

  The creation of globe-trotting plant collector Dan Hinkley and husband Robert Jones, Windcliff is the latest chapter in Hinkley’s botanical odyssey that began with his master’s degree in urban horticulture from the University of Washington. Decades of collecting and propagating combined with a love of plant diversity are the framework of Windcliff.

  *** Please note that directions include a ferry ride.

  Please find complete information about the nursery on the internet at danieljhinkley.com

  Storytelling Salon is an interest group for members to socialize and share stories with one another. We start with a happy hour with hors d’oeuvres and beverages (bring your favorite to share), and then we move into our stories. Whether you prefer to read your story or present it without notes, you’ll have an opportunity to share whatever your heart desires, including tales of lost love, wild times, and strange people!

  Fashioned after The Moth events, speakers have just five minutes to present. But instead of voting for winners (which happens at The Moth events), listeners just offer up their compliments about content, craft, and delivery. At the end of each session, we spend a few minutes discussing a particular aspect of craft.

  These events are held on the 4th Tuesday of each month at 6pm in the private dining room of Bellevue Towers except during winter months (Jan-Apr) when we meet on Zoom.

  Building Access:

  Enter Bellevue Towers at Retail Parking/Residential Amenities entrance on 106th NE behind the red art sculpture. Please arrive promptly at 6:00 pm and you will be met there and escorted to the private Community Dining room on the 5th floor. If you are late, text Gail Kretchmer at 425-495-3724.

  Parking Options:

  Bellevue Park Plaza (outdoors): 560 106th Ave NE, across from Bellevue Towers entrance, Evening rate $5.00

  Lincoln Square South: 405 105th Ave NE, two blocks from Bellevue Towers entrance. Free if departing after 8pm

  Bellevue Square Mall: Free

  Limited street parking is available. Note that retail parking is also available at Bellevue Towers but it’s expensive ($20 for 2-6 hours).

  Carpooling is recommended.

  All Things French | Napoleon & the Bee:

  What’s the Story?

  Bring a French-inspired salad and join us for lunch to find out!

  A tiny symbol, a big story--and a lovely excuse to gather. This get-together is inspired by Bridget’s Tante Paulette, a cherished French family friend who once served drinks in weighty glass tumblers stamped with Napoleon’s bees. That small detail sent us down a delightful rabbit hole. We’ll share a bit of this history and explore how the bee still appears in French decorative arts today.

  What to Bring: A French-inspired salad to share, we’ll have baguettes, dessert, and pitchers of lemon water—simple, fresh, and very French.

  Get Fit & Hike |

  Port Gamble Forest Heritage Park

  Join your fellow Newcomer hikers on June 18 as we venture over to the Kitsap Peninsula for a hike in the woods at Port Gamble Forest Heritage Park. Port Gamble is one of Washington’s oldest non-Native settlements and it appears that you might just be in New England! The town was settled by two Maine lumbermen, Andrew Pope and William Talbot, who, with partners Josiah Keller and Charles Foster, formed the Puget Mill Company. Due to a shortage of lumber workers in the area, they recruited mill workers from Maine, and constructed buildings in the New England style of the time to help ward off homesickness. Eventually, the mill recruited workers from the local S’Klallam tribe, and became a source of lumber worldwide. This mill became the longest continuously working lumber mill in North America. When it closed in 1995, it had been in operation for 142 years. In 1966, Port Gamble was declared a National Historical Landmark.

  Port Gamble Forest Heritage Park is located just outside of the historic village, 15 minutes from the Kingston Ferry terminal, and has an extensive network of multi-use trails. There are over 60 miles of trails and forest roads in the woods traversing ~3900 acres. The singletrack and dirt paths travel through the dense Pacific Northwest forest. We'll walk Secret Squirrel and Beaver Trail loops, a total of approximately 5.25 miles, which should take approximately 2 hours to complete. For anyone who wants a shorter walk, there is a simple "bail out option" down a main forest road back to the car park, making a 2.5 mile loop. Hopefully the foxglove and other wildflowers will be blooming in profusion at this time; if so, we have an option to take a trail through a former clear-cut area to make the most of the show, which would extend the distance to 5.4 miles. Elevation gain is approximately 500 feet; most of the trail is gentle, with one short section of switchbacks going up and a short steep downhill section. Some hikers may want to use poles for these brief sections. Boots are not essential, but trail shoes with a good sole are strongly recommended, particularly if it has been wet.

  After the hike, we have the option to have lunch at Butcher and Baker Provisions in town. They serve coffees, delicious homemade cakes/cookies/pastries, breakfasts salads, sandwiches, and entrees, and have indoor and covered outdoor seating. The portions can be large, but everything is delicious.

  The town of Port Gamble is very quaint with some lovely gift and art shops, a small museum, theater, wedding venue and cemetery. There are also incredible views across Gamble Bay and Hood Canal, where the occasional Navy ship/sub or whale can be spotted. A walk around the town from the Butcher and Baker parking lot is approximately 0.5 miles.

  Note: A ferry is required for this event! Preferred option is Washington State Ferries Edmonds-to-Kingston departing at 8:50 am, arriving at approximately 9:20. This should get walkers to the trailhead around 9:45.

  Register Online:

  • Cost: Ferry fare and lunch to be paid individually
  • Registration deadline: Saturday, June 13
  • Registration limit: 12
  • Participants: Members only 
  • Parking: Park in the car park. If the car park is full, just across the road is another parking area called Bayview Trailhead Shore, Port Gamble Forest Heritage Park. Carpooling is strongly recommended. There is a porta-loo at the trailhead but hikers may want to use the restrooms on the ferry.

  Storytelling Salon

  Storytelling Salon is an interest group for members to socialize and share stories with one another. We start with a happy hour with hors d’oeuvres and beverages (bring your favorite to share), and then we move into our stories. Whether you prefer to read your story or present it without notes, you’ll have an opportunity to share whatever your heart desires, including tales of lost love, wild times, and strange people!

  Fashioned after The Moth events, speakers have just five minutes to present. But instead of voting for winners (which happens at The Moth events), listeners just offer up their compliments about content, craft, and delivery. At the end of each session, we spend a few minutes discussing a particular aspect of craft.

  These events are held on the 4th Tuesday of each month at 6pm in the private dining room of Bellevue Towers except during winter months (Jan-Apr) when we meet on Zoom.

  Building Access:

  Enter Bellevue Towers at Retail Parking/Residential Amenities entrance on 106th NE behind the red art sculpture. Please arrive promptly at 6:00 pm and you will be met there and escorted to the private Community Dining room on the 5th floor. If you are late, text Gail Kretchmer at 425-495-3724.

  Parking Options:

  Bellevue Park Plaza (outdoors): 560 106th Ave NE, across from Bellevue Towers entrance, Evening rate $5.00

  Lincoln Square South: 405 105th Ave NE, two blocks from Bellevue Towers entrance. Free if departing after 8pm

  Bellevue Square Mall: Free

  Limited street parking is available. Note that retail parking is also available at Bellevue Towers but it’s expensive ($20 for 2-6 hours).

All equipment, tools and gloves will be provided, and no prior experience is necessary. Exact tasks will be determined by the gardener but could be a range of garden maintenance projects, likely weeding or mulching garden beds. If you like, bring a sack lunch and we can have lunch together in the garden after the event. There are several picnic tables.

  Storytelling Salon

  Storytelling Salon is an interest group for members to socialize and share stories with one another. We start with a happy hour with hors d’oeuvres and beverages (bring your favorite to share), and then we move into our stories. Whether you prefer to read your story or present it without notes, you’ll have an opportunity to share whatever your heart desires, including tales of lost love, wild times, and strange people!

  Fashioned after The Moth events, speakers have just five minutes to present. But instead of voting for winners (which happens at The Moth events), listeners just offer up their compliments about content, craft, and delivery. At the end of each session, we spend a few minutes discussing a particular aspect of craft.

  These events are held on the 4th Tuesday of each month at 6pm in the private dining room of Bellevue Towers except during winter months (Jan-Apr) when we meet on Zoom.

  Building Access:

  Enter Bellevue Towers at Retail Parking/Residential Amenities entrance on 106th NE behind the red art sculpture. Please arrive promptly at 6:00 pm and you will be met there and escorted to the private Community Dining room on the 5th floor. If you are late, text Gail Kretchmer at 425-495-3724.

  Parking Options:

  Bellevue Park Plaza (outdoors): 560 106th Ave NE, across from Bellevue Towers entrance, Evening rate $5.00

  Lincoln Square South: 405 105th Ave NE, two blocks from Bellevue Towers entrance. Free if departing after 8pm

  Bellevue Square Mall: Free

  Limited street parking is available. Note that retail parking is also available at Bellevue Towers but it’s expensive ($20 for 2-6 hours).

  Carpooling is recommended.

  Storytelling Salon

  Storytelling Salon is an interest group for members to socialize and share stories with one another. We start with a happy hour with hors d’oeuvres and beverages (bring your favorite to share), and then we move into our stories. Whether you prefer to read your story or present it without notes, you’ll have an opportunity to share whatever your heart desires, including tales of lost love, wild times, and strange people!

  Fashioned after The Moth events, speakers have just five minutes to present. But instead of voting for winners (which happens at The Moth events), listeners just offer up their compliments about content, craft, and delivery. At the end of each session, we spend a few minutes discussing a particular aspect of craft.

  These events are held on the 4th Tuesday of each month at 6pm in the private dining room of Bellevue Towers except during winter months (Jan-Apr) when we meet on Zoom.

  Building Access:

  Enter Bellevue Towers at Retail Parking/Residential Amenities entrance on 106th NE behind the red art sculpture. Please arrive promptly at 6:00 pm and you will be met there and escorted to the private Community Dining room on the 5th floor. If you are late, text Gail Kretchmer at 425-495-3724.

  Parking Options:

  Bellevue Park Plaza (outdoors): 560 106th Ave NE, across from Bellevue Towers entrance, Evening rate $5.00

  Lincoln Square South: 405 105th Ave NE, two blocks from Bellevue Towers entrance. Free if departing after 8pm

  Bellevue Square Mall: Free

  Limited street parking is available. Note that retail parking is also available at Bellevue Towers but it’s expensive ($20 for 2-6 hours).

  Carpooling is recommended.

  Storytelling Salon

  Storytelling Salon is an interest group for members to socialize and share stories with one another. We start with a happy hour with hors d’oeuvres and beverages (bring your favorite to share), and then we move into our stories. Whether you prefer to read your story or present it without notes, you’ll have an opportunity to share whatever your heart desires, including tales of lost love, wild times, and strange people!

  Fashioned after The Moth events, speakers have just five minutes to present. But instead of voting for winners (which happens at The Moth events), listeners just offer up their compliments about content, craft, and delivery. At the end of each session, we spend a few minutes discussing a particular aspect of craft.

  These events are held on the 4th Tuesday of each month at 6pm in the private dining room of Bellevue Towers except during winter months (Jan-Apr) when we meet on Zoom.

  Building Access:

  Enter Bellevue Towers at Retail Parking/Residential Amenities entrance on 106th NE behind the red art sculpture. Please arrive promptly at 6:00 pm and you will be met there and escorted to the private Community Dining room on the 5th floor. If you are late, text Gail Kretchmer at 425-495-3724.

  Parking Options:

  Bellevue Park Plaza (outdoors): 560 106th Ave NE, across from Bellevue Towers entrance, Evening rate $5.00

  Lincoln Square South: 405 105th Ave NE, two blocks from Bellevue Towers entrance. Free if departing after 8pm

  Bellevue Square Mall: Free

  Limited street parking is available. Note that retail parking is also available at Bellevue Towers but it’s expensive ($20 for 2-6 hours).

  Carpooling is recommended.

  Storytelling Salon

  Storytelling Salon is an interest group for members to socialize and share stories with one another. We start with a happy hour with hors d’oeuvres and beverages (bring your favorite to share), and then we move into our stories. Whether you prefer to read your story or present it without notes, you’ll have an opportunity to share whatever your heart desires, including tales of lost love, wild times, and strange people!

  Fashioned after The Moth events, speakers have just five minutes to present. But instead of voting for winners (which happens at The Moth events), listeners just offer up their compliments about content, craft, and delivery. At the end of each session, we spend a few minutes discussing a particular aspect of craft.

  These events are held on the 4th Tuesday of each month at 6pm in the private dining room of Bellevue Towers except during winter months (Jan-Apr) when we meet on Zoom.

  Building Access:

  Enter Bellevue Towers at Retail Parking/Residential Amenities entrance on 106th NE behind the red art sculpture. Please arrive promptly at 6:00 pm and you will be met there and escorted to the private Community Dining room on the 5th floor. If you are late, text Gail Kretchmer at 425-495-3724.

  Parking Options:

  Bellevue Park Plaza (outdoors): 560 106th Ave NE, across from Bellevue Towers entrance, Evening rate $5.00

  Lincoln Square South: 405 105th Ave NE, two blocks from Bellevue Towers entrance. Free if departing after 8pm

  Bellevue Square Mall: Free

  Limited street parking is available. Note that retail parking is also available at Bellevue Towers but it’s expensive ($20 for 2-6 hours).

  Carpooling is recommended.
