FRIDAY, APRIL 22

Black Earth Day
Past Event Like List On Friday, the Black Farmers Collective invites the public to visit their spectacular one-and-a-half-acre farm right in the middle of Yesler Terrace, where they’ll have garden activities for all ages and will be handing out free green cleaning kits and plant starts!⁣ Holy shit, free plants! Local Black vendors will be onsite for you to purchase healthy meals and snacks. The Black Farmers Collective’s mission is to build a Black-led food system by developing a cooperative network of food system actors–and to educate folks on the history of urban agriculture, farming, and environmental justice work in the Black community.⁣

Washington State Parks Free Days Past Event Like List
On certain days of the year, the Washington State Parks and Recreation Commission provides free admission to all of Washington's state parks, and Earth Day is one of those days! On Friday, visitors will not need a Discover Pass, which normally costs ten bucks, for day-use parking at any state park in Washington. If you are parking, you’re gonna want to get there at zero o’clock in the morning because lot space will almost certainly run out, especially at the more popular parks like Deception Pass or Mount Rainier. (Might we suggest humble but beautiful Flaming Geyser State Park in Black Diamond? Its flaming “geyser” went out in 2016 and it’s been less popular ever since, but it’s still an objectively lovely place to spend an afternoon, even though it’s not currently on fire.)
(All Washington State Parks, free)

UW Earth Day Fair
Past Event Like List On Friday morning, the University of Washington will hold its annual Earth Day Fair on the main floor of the Husky Union Building (better known as the HUB).

Stop by, get some sustainability tips, and find out how you can get involved with UW’s efforts to, yanno, save the Earth from total destruction.

Earth Day Concert with Peia and Special Guest at Ballard Homestead
Past Event Like List For its Earth Day celebration, Ballard Homestead is showcasing singer and multi-instrumentalist Peia Luzzi. Based out of Oregon, Peia draws from Celtic and old-world European folk music in her performances, including 17th-century Gaelic laments and Bulgarian mountain calls. HuffPo said her voice “soars like the wind as she sings a love letter to our Earth and an ode to humanity,” so that seems… helpful to Earth. Generally. Probably can’t hurt it, anyway.

Earth Day Grounding, A Sound Bath Meditation
Past Event Like List On Friday night, in the High Point neighborhood of West Seattle, at a mystery location only to be disclosed after you buy your ticket, there will be a “sound bath meditation” hosted by Harmony Ayurveda & Reiki Resonance Sound Healing. Not 100 percent sure what this means, but it’s described as a “full body listening experience” that will “take you on a sonically guided meditative journey, as vibrations gently wash away stress and tension, opening up space for clarity, and expansive energy towards your goals.” It will also allegedly ease your brain frequencies into “the relaxed states of alpha and theta” and allow you to better communicate your intentions to the subconscious mind. Sounds groovy. Guests are asked to bring a yoga mat, eye cover, small pillow and blanket, water, and a journal. 
(Location TBA, West Seattle, $35)
