Thanks so much to everyone who joined us on July 28 for the Rainier Valley Fashion Fest at Othello-UW Commons. Many neighbors picked up free clothes and accessories (generously donated by our community!) at the clothing exchange, and we got to enjoy a beautiful show featuring music and fashion from Mexico, Cambodia, Vietnam, Cameroon, Somalia, and more. We're grateful to all the vendors who participated, and to leading sponsors HomeSight, the Somali Independent Business Alliance, and the Central District Chamber of Commerce. | |

The Food's Always Golden at Fry Zone | |
We're so excited to welcome Fry Zone to the neighborhood! This business opened July 4 at the corner of Rainier & Juneau, and their amazing all-halal menu has been satisfying our summer cravings ever since.
If you love fries, welcome to heaven ... You can find fries with all kinds of seasonings, or level up to their loaded fries packed with Asian, Mexican, Middle Eastern, or BBQ flavors. Not a fry guy? They also have gyros, chicken sandwiches, and even chicken & waffles!
If you haven't been to Fry Zone yet, this weekend is the perfect time to visit - they'll be open during the Hillman City Block Party on Saturday and will unveil a brand new combo meal. Don't miss it! 🍟 | | | |

We'd also like to welcome Hatch Hair & Co. to the neighborhood! All are welcome at this hair studio, which moved into 4527 Rainier this summer. Experienced stylists Micki and Carly have been winning raves for years from their clients and we're thrilled that they've set up shop on Rainier.
The name 'Hatch' honors Micki's great-grandparents, who ran the Hatch Barber Shop in Salina, Utah. If you're seeking a new summer look, make a booking today! | | | |
