Leo’s Legacy Party | Beer. Beats. Bites.
We’re throwing a block party in the Hotel Leo parking lot, and you’re invited. Join us for live music from Cardova, ice-cold beer from Aslan Brewing Co., local vendors, lawn games, and an unbeatable lineup of fresh summer bites from the culinary team at Hotel Leo.

On the menu: BBQ oysters, local spot prawn ceviche, and tacos hot off the grill—made to pair perfectly with a cold beer in hand.

At the center of it all is the debut of Leo’s Legacy Lager—a crisp, refreshing brew brought to life from a historic Bellingham recipe dating back to the early 1900s. Come raise a glass, grab a bite, and kick off summer with us.

Pine Needle Basketry – A Wildcrafter’s Workshop @ Chuckanut Center
Jun 22 @ 1:00 pm – 5:30 pm
Pine Needle Basketry - A Wildcrafter's Workshop @ Chuckanut Center

In this wildcrafting workshop you will learn how to weave a basket using the coil technique and Ponderosa Pine needles.

Weaving with pine needles and other coiled plant material is a practice ancient peoples from all continents implemented in day-to-day survival, conventional living, and art.

The technique requires patience and attention to detail before it becomes a relaxing, repetitive stitching pattern. It is a skill that is more easily learned with a little guidance.

Dabblers, beginners, intermediate, and advanced weavers will enjoy this creative, social gathering with Northwest Natura.

In this course you will learn:
-ID and Ecology features of Pinus spp. (various pine tree species).
-Foraging techniques and where to harvest pine needles.
-How to weave a coiled basket using pine needles.

*All materials will be provided but you are welcome to bring your own too if you wish (e.g., thread, beads, decor, sewing kit).

Please register via the event website. Space is limited.
