The Boardroom Café at 8314 Aurora Ave. N. is in the midst of a major renovation and expansion. They’ve set up a crowd-funding site for people who want to help them out (there are various rewards for donating, including gift certificates). Katie Clack, who owns the café with her husband, Jason, said their customers have been asking for them to stay open later to offer dinner and drinks, but they couldn’t do it with their small kitchen and dining space. Now that their former neighbor, the Guitar Store, moved a couple doors down, they’re moving into that space. They’re building a wood-fired pizza oven and will serve local microbrews on tap and their favorite wines. The new space also will allow them to host live music and open mic nights.

The City of Seattle’s reLeaf program is looking for new Tree Ambassadors to help care our urban forest.
Volunteers are trained within a project area and have the opportunity to attend a variety of fun and informative workshops on topics like pruning, tree identification, and community engagement. Tree Ambassadors also get opportunities for unique experiences like learning to climb trees with professional rigging and tours of local botanic treasures. Volunteers who complete a project training get a free t-shirt and name tag.
Seattle reLeaf is currently recruiting new Tree Ambassadors in three project areas:
Tree Walks: Show off your favorite trees in your favorite part of Seattle. You’ll learn the basics of making maps, identifying trees, and creating walking routes to engage your neighbors and coworkers in the urban landscape. Check out the tree walks created by current Tree Ambassadors here! Next training: Wednesday, March 12 and Saturday, March 15 (attend both)
Landscape Renewal: Does seeing a tree choked by ivy drive you crazy? This project track is for you. This project track will teach you to plan and organize small-scale renovation projects. Renovation work includes removing invasive plants, planting trees and understory plants, and mulching. You’ll learn how to develop a plan, recruit volunteers, and lead work parties. Next training: Wednesday, April 2 and Saturday, April 5 (attend both)
Street Tree Stewardship: Never fear young street trees, the Tree Ambassadors are here! Volunteers in this project area adopt street tree plantings and help the City’s young street trees thrive. Tree Ambassadors learn to plan work parties and recruit volunteers to mulch, weed, and care for the trees that are essential to making Seattle’s neighborhoods walkable, sustainable, beautiful, and healthy. Next training: May 17.
