Here’s an idea…go try dining at the newer place to eat in the Magnolia Village. Chef Greg Campbell’s kitchen specializes in good honest food. Salads like romaine maytag blue cheese vinaigrette, smoked bacon & apple and arugula with lemon vinaigrette & mancheggo cheese. Soup’s range from butternut squash to clam chowder. There are sandwiches like roasted pork & chicken salad and burgers. There is an Alley Hour on Tuesdays and Fridays 3:30 – 5:30 with specials $1 off Beer & Wine. Fonte coffee and assorted Harney & Sons tea is on the menu. Sweets are bread pudding and chocolate pot de creme which is out of my area of expertise.
Halloween is approaching so don’t forget that Magnolia businesses open there doors to trick or treating. Families are encouraged to visit store fronts around the village and pick up candy for the holiday. There are many homes within walking distance of the village with walk scores exceeding 80 points. www.cooperjacobs.com While exploring Magnolia, maybe a curious visit to Wheeler Street Kitchen is the stop you need to make.

 Magnolia Village Car Show
Sunny skies graced the annual Magnolia Car Show on August 20, 2011. Approximately 80 cars were parked downtown on McGraw Street to be admired by crowds from 9AM to 3PM. The event is sponsored by Werner’s crash shop located on Queen Anne. Eric Berg owns the complete collision repair shop and brings his own classic cars to be shown in the collection of automobiles. This is the fourth year that Werner’s has produced the event and my Dad and I usually walk around the show together and always see at least one model of car that we’ve never seen before in person.
That’s what makes this eclectic car gathering so interesting, folks can bring whatever they want and enter the show. An electric powered Tesla can be shown in the same group of cars as a 1939 custom Chevy and a sweltering Melbourne Red Metallic BMW X5 M. There are valuable high end entries here in Magnolia but this is a casual gathering which is different from the judging and awards that are presented at the Kirkland Concours d’Elegance.
 Missed it this year?
If you missed the 2011 Magnolia car show it will be back next year on the third Saturday of August. I will likely bring my son and his toy ‘ride in’ Mercedes 300SL with Superman behind the wheel. You will be surprised what treasures come out from being parked all Winter long inside Magnolia’s garages.

Kettle Corn, Kathi, and Pirates!
Step right up Seattle. Magnolia is once again hosting a Seafair Weekend not to be missed.
The annual Magnolia Summerfest will be held July 29th and July 30th 2011. Magnolia residents put this weekend on their calendar as it is always a charming slice of summer.
Friday July 29th kicks off the event with live music, street food, an art exhibit, and puppet shows for the kids. The grassy area next to the Magnolia Community Center provides ample room for the various bouncy houses that help burn off that insanely addictive kettle Corn.
On Saturday, July 20th, the Magnolia Summerfest weekend continues at 10:30 starting with the children’s parade. This kid’s parade is one of the largest in the city. Break out the cardboard and streamers and turn those trikes into floats! Put your dog in a costume; wear a funny hat, whatever works. But hey, ya gotta throw candy.
After the cameras are put away, families enjoy the main parade. This year the parade is hosted by beloved Seattle newscaster Kathi Goertzen. This classic parade is a mix of high school marching bands, vintage cars, Seattle drill teams, and the Seafair Pirates. The pirates are a Seattle Institution and really make the parade memorable. In a nod to the many children in attendance, the quiet zone allows younger ears to avoid the Pirate’s cannons which can be deafening. And, it is really sweet to see a fierce pirate turn soft with the little ones in the quiet zone.
Once the parade is over, mingle with friends over street food, enjoy the art show, or watch a puppet show with the kids.
All in all, a great weekend in Magnolia.

Strawberries and Plums and Peaches..Oh My!
Nothing beats the delight of taking a bite out of a fresh, seasonally ripe peach! Luckily, in Magnolia you can partake in such a treat by getting out and taking a stroll through the Farmers Market. Fresh fruits and produce abound and there are deals to be had. If cheese is your weakness, they’ve got that too — and it’s local! Other temptations include: baked goods, meats, preserves and honey. Throughout the market season, shoppers can also participate in cooking demos, produce tasting, live music and activities for the kids.
Seattle’s Magnolia neighborhood is a very pedestrian friendly which makes walking to the Farmers Market on Sunday morning a must do event for all.
