Buying & Remodeling a Fixer Upper with HomeStreet Bank, June 9

But what should you know before stepping into this commitment? At this webinar with HomeStreet Bank, loan officer Jeff Wood will explore the ins and outs of buying and remodeling a fixer-upper home.
The Rich Roots of Coffee with Tougo Coffee, June 13
Though there is a rich history of coffee in Seattle, its roots span further beyond Starbucks and Seattle’s Best. Come learn about the rich roots of coffee, from its discovery in Ethiopia, to its reach in our cups today.
Attendees will explore how coffee culture and cafes are a historical and significant part of world heritage, the various coffee stages and their nuances, and how rich brews are produced around the world.
Paella Cooking Class with Enterprise Spanish, June 15
Cook virtually in your own kitchens alongside UW colleagues as you learn how to make delicious Paella! Along the way, you’ll learn a bit of Spanish and some cultural history about our featured dish.
This 60-minute cooking event is BYOI (Bring Your Own Ingredients). No need to prep anything beforehand – we’ll do all the cooking and chopping together! This is a family-friendly event, but adult supervision is necessary.
Bike Safety with Bike Works, June 23
As the weather begins to warm up this season, many folks will opt to bring out their bikes and make the most of their sunny commute. As one can imagine, this could mean a greater risk, as more folks on the road mean higher likelihood for accidents.
During this event, you’ll learn bicycle safety tips from our local bike experts at Bike Works. We’ll cover the rules of the road, from properly fitting your helmet to riding defensively and predictably. Find out what you can do to prevent bicycle injuries during this informative seminar.
