If you live in Seattle, it's also quite possible that park was designed by the renowned Olmsteds, distinguished and visionary landscape architects. Volunteer, Seward, Interlaken, Green Lake and Discovery parks, along with the Washington Park Arboretum—to name only a few—help make up the Olmsteds' West Coast legacy. Think of them as West Coast cousins to Olmsted-designed Central Park. We invite you to come explore the legacy of the Olmsteds and to visit three of the more than 35 parks they designed for Seattle more than a century ago. Our tour guide will be Joan Hockaday, Olmsted champion, author of "Greenscapes, Olmsted's Pacific Northwest," and a WAC member. Between destinations, Joan will share her vast knowledge of the Olmsteds and their legacy. Also, Parks Hot Party 6: Blow It Your Way Saturday, October 6 Our "hot parties" center around a group glass blowing class at Seattle Glassblowing Studio, where you create your own one-of-a-kind glass art. Hot refers to the state- of-the-art hot shop and 2,000 degree kilns. But we also call it hot because these popular hands-on events always sell out fast. This year, participants can create any two items, such as a pumpkin and a gourd (great for seasonal décor), two beautiful ornaments (super holiday gifts), or perhaps a bowl and a vase (perfect for your liv- ing room). A professional team of glass artists will help you select colors, dip your hot glass into the crushed colored glass, fire it in the kilns, and then blow it to the perfect size and shape. After cooling a few days, your objets d'art will be available for pickup at the WAC. Wine and a casual dinner buffet are included and will be available throughout the evening. Reserve today before this class sells out. 6–10 pm; $185; cancel by September 21; no experience necessary Board member Brice Maryman will be on hand. As former chair of Friends of Seattle's Olmsted Parks, he has a wealth of knowledge to share. The tour, which begins at the WAC, includes a private motor coach and stops at Volunteer Park, the University of Washington (the site of the 1909 Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition), and Seward Park. Upon return to the WAC, you'll receive an auto- graphed copy of Joan's book. This event includes an author-narrated tour, round- trip motor coach from the WAC, picnic lunch and autographed book. Box lunches include your choice of Greek salad, chicken Caesar salad, turkey and Swiss sandwich on 28 | Washington Athletic Club Magazine | SEPTEMBER 2012 wheat, or a veggie wrap—plus apple, bot- tled water, chips and cookie. 10 am–2 pm; $62; cancel by September 7 Northwest Trek Saturday, September 22 Calling all party animals. We're loading up the coach and heading south to visit the real deal at Northwest Trek, a huge wildlife park near Eatonville, where you'll see ani- mals galore in their natural habitat. Enjoy a 50-minute guided tour to view bison, elk, moose, bighorn sheep, mountain goats and deer from the comfort of heated and enclosed trams. The tour winds through ROBERT LAURENT
