| 7/12/19 Town Hall Seattle |
Historically, it begins the day after the 4th of July. Following
days of gray drizzle, it arrived lazily yesterday a week late. With shades and sunhats
on, USk Seattle welcomed summer with a sketch outing on First Hill.
When I first scouted the meetup location a month or so ago, Town Hall Seattle, undergoing renovation, caught my eye. Built in 1916 by The
Fourth Church of Christ, Scientist, the Roman Revival building has been an event
venue since 1998. As my first sketch of the outing, the building was a bit
intimidating, so my intention was to make a value study as a small thumbnail.
Fairly quickly, though, I changed my attitude to “what the heck,” and I went for
a full-page sketch instead. It was a popular spot: Kate, Alice and Tim all did
their variations of the same view.
Next I went to the meetup location at a tiny pocket park (defined
as such by a few colorful tables, chairs and planters in the street) at Ninth
and University, where the Pike Place Market opens a pop-up farmers market on
summertime Fridays. With St. James Cathedral in the distance, the small, quiet
market gave nearby Virginia Mason medical clinic employees a sunny respite.
