Time for the HPSW Holiday Party – Sunday – January 19th from 1 to 4 pm

By on January 5th, 2020

HPSW Holiday Party will be next Sunday January 19th from 1-4 at Madelyn Katzman’s house on North Capitol Hill 

The party is a potluck. Madelyn/HPSW will supply plates etc. You supply the food. Please bring an item to share. 


We will also have a white elephant gift exchange. You can come to the party even if you don’t want to participate in the white elephant gift exchange. Please bring a wrapped gift. If you buy something for the gift exchange, it should not be an expensive gift, just something odd or funny. It’s something you think is a white elephant – something you don’t want, won’t use. But, interestingly enough, one person’s white elephant is someone else’s prized possession. You cannot bring back what you got last year. You can bring back what you got 2 years ago. We will draw numbers to choose who picks a gift first. 
Questions? Pam Perrott at 206 999 3092

You can come without sharing in the gift exchange, so don’t avoid us if you aren’t interested in the gift exchange.

By on January 4th, 2020

*Meeting is Tuesday not Monday due to MLK Holiday

Sarah Verlinde, Launch Specialist with the UW Bothell Herbarium Collections, and fellow researcher Ashley will speak on ‘The Good, the Bad and the Yummy’, restoring bird habitat through the use of native and perennials plants and shrubs in the Pacific Northwest.

Sarah earned a degree in Biology which included several plant studies.  She participated in wetland mitigation and restoration projects with Snohomish County, doing plant inventory and monitoring.  She worked as an intern at the Tulalip Tribes to reintroduce a native food source, Wapato (Sagittaria latifolia), to tribal land.  With this project she won a Scholarship Award from the Society for Wetland Scientists and presented at the PNW 2015 Conference in Olympia. 

Sarah Verlinde works full-time as a Launch Specialist at the UW Bothell Office of Research.  Most of her work focuses on grant support and new projects, including the launch of the UW Bothell Herbarium which began in 2015.
