Our featured artist this month is poet Laila Vafaeezadeh:
Laila (she/her) was born and raised in the greater Seattle area, and some of her first memories are the overwhelming green of towering evergreen trees and the yipping howls of backyard coyotes. Surrounded by nature as a child, she roved the forests, collecting, mapping, and sometimes simply observing.

Laila always knew that she would grow up to be a writer from the time she was old enough to hold a pencil and scribble out an incomprehensible story on paper. It was her driving passion, and it shaped her as she grew. She devoured books of all kinds, finding edification and solace in the works of Gerald Durrell, Anne Rice, Carl Hiaasen, Daniel Quinn, and James Herriot.

As an adult, Laila is an animal lover, having worked with dogs and other pets for nearly a decade. She is a collector of many strange and interesting things and adores beauty in all its forms, be it interior design or the scent of a custom perfume. She seeks the interesting, the odd, and the splendid in all she does- though the written word will always be her first love.

David Johnson (he/him) has been writing and recording music since 2003 and performing since 2012. Heartfelt, offbeat and occasionally visceral, David’s music lays his heart bare. With material that brings light to his own experiences while leaving room for listeners to draw parallels of their own, hearing his music is a unique experience.

The people in David’s life bring most of the inspiration for his songs; conversations weave themselves into the melodies and paint portraits of his relationships.

He is currently recording his ninth studio album. Themes such as mental health, addiction, unrequited love, infatuation and dreams will provide a detailed view of the last few years. You can find his music and videos at davidjmusic.com

Pop-up Gallery Show
The Scott Rinckenberger Gallery will be showing a very limited exhibition for the Real Twin Peaks Weekend, February 21-24, featuring photographs from Scott’s ongoing project, Twin Peeks. This body of work, created over the course of seven years, is a study and celebration of the eccentricities of the Twin Peaks community as witnessed from the second floor window of his studio, which is fortuitously situated just across the street from the famous Double R Diner of Twin Peaks fame. Using black and white film photography and a cold-war era zoom lens, this work harkens to the gritty imperfections of David Lynch’s heyday, creating a timeless capture of human nature at its most beguiling.
Book Release
In support of the gallery exhibition, Scott Rinckenberger will release a limited edition softcover photography book featuring select images from the Twin Peeks project. This 120 page 8×8” book will delight Twin Peaks fans, photography enthusiasts and students of the human condition with its mix of humor, charm and mystery, augmented with quotations from the late Twin Peaks director, David Lynch. Signed copies will be available at the gallery, and are available for pre-order online here.

Carnation Farms-Hands-On Habitat: An Ecological Restoration Work Party
2025-03-29 10:00 - 12:00 | Carnation Farms, 8901 NE Carnation Farm Road, Carnation, WA, 98014, United States
Hands-On Habitat: an Ecological Restoration Work Party

March 29 @ 10:00 am – 12:00 pm

Join us for a hands-on Ecological Restoration Work Party, with Stewardship Partners, where you’ll learn about riparian restoration, elk co-habitation, salmon ecosystems, and erosion control—while making a real impact on the land!
We’ll start at our Outdoor Classroom with a brief introduction to local restoration efforts on Farm, and across the Snoqualmie Valley, before embarking on a guided walk, exploring the connections between waterways, wildlife, and plant life. Then, roll up your sleeves for an hour of hands-on restoration work, cutting back invasive species and reinforcing previously planted native flora. We’ll wrap up with a walk back to the Classroom for a debrief, reflections, and take-home resources to continue your learning. Each group will get to pot your own native plant to take home!
Whether you’re passionate about conservation or just looking to get outside and give back, this is a great opportunity to engage with the land, meet like-minded community members, and be part of the restoration movement.
All ages and experience levels welcome—let’s restore and learn together!
