A Seattle tradition since 1956, every Sunday from 9:30-10:00 PM at St. Mark’s Episcopal Cathedral a group of men chant the Office of Compline, the last monastic office of the day. Also known as the “chant service,” Compline is the ancient nighttime prayers, sung by the Compline Choir and is simulcast on KING 98.1 FM. Upwards of 500 people (many in their teens and early twenties) attend the service, and thousands in the radio audience and on the Internet each week. The Compline Choir is a 501 (c) (3) organization. Tax deductible contributions to the choir’s ministry provide support for the purchase of music, the production of recordings, and expenses involved in maintaining their website. Saint Mark’s Episcopal Cathedral is located at the north end of Capitol Hill overlooking Lake Union in Seattle, 1245 Tenth Avenue East, Seattle, WA 98102-4398 (Google map). Many Seattle residents are interested in planting vegetables and other edible foods in the planting strip immediately abutting their properties. A Street Use permit is not required for gardening activities in the planting strip. However, a Street Use permit is required when planting a tree or installing hardscape elements in the planting strip, like raised planting boxes or pavers. Street Use permits for these activities are FREE. Apply for a Street Use permit online at http://www.seattle.gov/transportation/stuse_permits_online.htm or in person on the 23rd floor of the Seattle Municipal Building at 700 5th Avenue, Seattle 98104 (Google map). Be advised that when you submit your Street Use application, you are agreeing that you have followed all the setback and height requirements for your proposed installation in the planting strip. SDOT allows the growing of food in planting strips as long as setback and height guidelines are met. Please note that SDOT prohibits certain trees, including fruiting cherry, apple, and pear species that can pose a safety risk to pedestrians when fruit falls on the walkway. For setback and height requirements for installations in the planting strip, download the PDF file from the City of Seattle Gardening in Planting Strips. If you like being outside and exploring nature, then Orienteering, a sport of navigation is for you.

It is also not unusual to see entire families orienteering, either together or on different levels of courses and orienteering is also an easily planned outdoor activity for youth groups.
