CascadiaNow! was proud to be one of the dozens of organizations that participated with the more than 175,000 in the Seattle Womxn's March last Saturday, and the millions of people who marched around the world.

The Seattle Cascadia Arts Collective helped create 9 different giant puppets for the Seattle Women's March on January 21st, each one featuring a different, powerful, diverse women who has had a lasting impact and legacy on this country and world.

In a renegade guerrilla art project, copies of a satirical Cascadian Times seemed to crop up in newspaper boxes around Cascadia the of Inauguration day. Did we say satirical? We meant it presented 'Alternative Facts', which we are pretty sure makes it entirely true.

On the eve of the inauguration, we helped host a self proclaimed 'Guerrilla Art School' at the Columbia City Church of Hope in Seattle. Throughout the night, more than 200 people filtered in and out, packing the church basement rendering the dozens of tables, and every inch floor space into DIY arts and crafts centers for sign and banner making, silkscreening, stencil making, before folks divided up and hit the streets!

This pin, and the recent controversy around Bernie Sanders speech in Seattle highlights how important an overarching dialog and symbol can be. Just as there are Cascadia Bernie and Black Lives Matters stickers and buttons, this shows how we are all part of one region, coming together in shared values and principles, but also able to critically challenge each other when needed. 

Nice new Cascadia packaging spotted at Whole Foods for their new 'Local' logo. 

Beautiful Cascadia silkscreen using acrylic on wood by Arthur K Tipp, as submitted through the /r/cascadia subreddit.

The mural depicts the 'Alternative Theory' of the real purpose of the Mima mounds.

Great picture submitted by /r/Komoss through our Cascadia subreddit :)

A beautiful picture by Chris Allen of the Octopus Tree at Cape Meares lighthouse near Netarts Oregon. he Octopus Tree is a massive Sitka spruce with branches growing like giant tentacles from its 50-foot base. It is situated approximately 600 feet from the scenic viewpoint. The tree’s odd shape, according to local historians and Tillamook tribal descendants, comes not from the ravages of wind, as some have said, but from its function as a ceremonial site, shaped to hold cedar canoes and other ritual objects. 

A great picture by flag designer Alexander Baretich of the first flag created by their brand new Cascadia Flag Making Cooperative. They had a wonderfully successful indiegogo earlier this year, and is quickly on the way to handmaking Cascadia flags entirely within the bioregion!

Great picture of Oregon astronomy professor Scott Fisher in his CascadiaNow! founding member gear on the front page of the Eugene Register-Guard. The picture also unfortunately highlights the importance of each of us getting active about the issues we care about, out in our community right here, right now. Thanks Scott!

A huge congratulations Kevin Zelko, Cory Murchy, Eric Tringale, Jonathan Zwickel and Joe Hammill.

There's a Cascadian Space Agency? Not yet but there is one envisioned by artist Matthew Dockrey in his Pacific Science Center installation. Learn more and see this wonderful artist and his creation just after installation. Matthew has been a WA native all of his life so it's not surprising to see a Cascadia presence in his artwork.

Our CascadiaNow! Sasquatch had the welcoming place of honor at the CascadiaNW music and culture festival this past month. Located right at the front, he would wave as folks would walk in. 

Our Cascadia Bus was acquired earlier this year by CascadiaNow! Executive Director Brandon Letsinger. It was formerly the Free Range Mercantile, visible in the West Seattle neighborhood. It's new and wonderful paint just was completed July 16th-20th by a wonderful and talented team of artists including Jonathan Fischer, Whealon Costello and Tanner Colvin before putting it in use as the shuttle to CascadiaNW! Keep your eyes on the road!

Great picture of some Cascadia love!
