The mixed media in combination with the bountiful sociocultural changes in that time period--I can only imagine how powerful the pieces must be. I'll try my best to be there!

At risk of giving away one of my favorite spots, the Bellevue downtown park has a whole section on the east end of the park separate from all the noise that is closed off in its own little section that is all sakura trees. Unbelievable and a great place to have hanami!!! Casey, thanks for the post.

They bloom later than the Yoshino variety that blooms at the university. Check that out in May! You'll see those trees downtown by the market on Union Street.

In addition to cuts to the state's Basic Health plan and the General Assistance Unmployable program, the House and Senate have proposed a 9 percent reduction to non-Medicaid mental-health programs. Advocates say that would have a huge impact on Seattle's Asian Counseling and Referral Service, which helps more than 22,000 people a year. They also say that a $3 million proposed cut from the state's Limited English Proficiency Pathway program (from Seattle P-I blog, April 2 2009)
