New Community-Focused Performance Space Opens in SeaTac

A new community-focused performance space, The Roadhouse, is set to open in SeaTac at the Angle Lake Light Rail Station Garage. The Roadhouse will feature free, all-age entertainment that celebrates the musical culture of South King County.

The Roadhouse is provided by the Sound Transit Arts Program and will be managed by Show Brazil Productions. Eight community music and production industry professionals will provide guidance on how to get The Roadhouse up and running while staying true to its Guiding Principles:

• Inclusion: Create a sense of belonging through music and performance
• Community: Focus on South King County audiences and musicians
• History: Highlight the musical history and culture in South King County
• Connection: Create a bridge between transit and the places that it serves
• Celebrate: Create a space to share and build South King County culture

Two inaugural events are scheduled for two upcoming weekends:

• The Open House: Sunday, October 22nd, 11am-1pm
• The Grand Opening: Sunday, October 29th, 11am-2pm

The Roadhouse is a nod to the musical history in this area. In the 1930s through the 1960s, a number of dance halls were located in South King County, midway between the urban centers of Seattle and Tacoma. The most well-known was the Spanish Castle, which featured local musicians and national acts, as well as the first on-stage appearance of a young Jimi Hendrix. Hendrix's song "Spanish Castle Magic" was inspired by the Spanish Castle.

The Roadhouse is a welcome addition to the SeaTac community, and is sure to become a popular spot for people of all ages to enjoy live music.

"The Roadhouse is a fantastic new addition to the SeaTac community," said SeaTac Councilmember Peter Kwon. "It's a place where people can come together to enjoy live music, celebrate our diverse culture, and learn about our musical history. I'm excited to see what the future holds for this new venue."

Conclusion:

The Roadhouse is a new community-focused performance space that is set to open in SeaTac at the Angle Lake Light Rail Station Garage. The Roadhouse will feature free, all-age entertainment that celebrates the musical culture of South King County.

The Roadhouse is a welcome addition to the SeaTac community and is sure to become a popular spot for people of all ages to enjoy live music. Stay up-to-date on what's happening by visiting

Volunteer Divers Remove More Garbage from Angle Lake

A group of volunteers gathered 22 bags of garbage from the lake bottom and area around the shoreline of Angle Lake on Saturday, September 24. The cleanup was organized by Your Scuba Store (YSS) and SeaTac Parks.

Nine divers and 11 land-based volunteers participated in the cleanup, which took place from the park south to Angle Lake Trail. Katherine, a YSS volunteer, noted that no drug paraphernalia was found in the litter. She also successfully recruited a few additional park visitors to assist with the cleanup.

SeaTac Parks Projects & Operations Manager Mike Fitzpatrick said he is "grateful for the assistance from YSS and volunteers who participated in this event. SeaTac Parks is prepared to support another event in the near future."

The divers who participated in the cleanup noted that there was still a lot of litter on the lake bottom. They are planning to organize another cleanup event in December or January. The volunteers are also considering registering Angle Lake as part of the Adopt the Blue program, which would bring additional awareness to the lake and the need for diver assistance with cleanup efforts.

Adopt the Blue is a program that encourages people to adopt a body of water and help to keep it clean. Participants in the program can volunteer to clean up litter, remove invasive species, and educate others about the importance of water conservation.

The volunteers who participated in the Angle Lake cleanup hope their efforts will help make the lake a cleaner and more enjoyable place for everyone.

Angle Lake Clean Up to Feature Scuba Divers

The City of SeaTac Parks Department is hosting a clean-up of Angle Lake on Saturday, September 23, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. The event will feature scuba divers from YSS Dive Shop in Tacoma, Washington, who will help remove trash from the bottom of the lake.

The clean-up is open to all volunteers, regardless of experience. SeaTac Parks Department will provide onshore volunteers with garbage bags, litter pickers, and gloves. Staff will provide the supplies at the park near the restroom/shelter plaza. “We are excited to partner with YSS Dive Shop to clean up Angle Lake,” said Mary Tuttle, Parks Director for the City of SeaTac. “This is a great opportunity for our community to come together to make a difference.”

Angle Lake is a popular spot for swimming, boating, and fishing. However, it has also become a dumping ground for litter. The clean-up is an effort to remove this trash and make the lake a cleaner and more enjoyable place for everyone.

Regardless of whether you plan to partake in diving, wade through the shallow water, or walk the shoreline, we ask that you pre-register for the event so that the organizers can plan for the appropriate number of waters, snacks, and swag. Divers will also receive an entitlement coupon for one free tank refill of air.
