It looked like a trip through time as the Southwest Seattle Historical Society celebrated 160 years of history of the Duwamish Peninsula and Alki, the birthplace of Seattle during their annual fundraiser held at Salty’s on Alki.
Strolling through the festivities were a group from the sixties: Pete Covell, Carole & Andre Ferreer reflected on “Peace, man.”;
while 34th District Democrats Tamsen Spangler, Max Vekick and Marcee Stone reminded us of women’s suffrage.
I love being at the local auctions. At Schmitz, I met up with several brides that I had photographed 10 years ago! So nice to know that they have growing families and live in West Seattle! The Schmitz Hawaiian Luau Auction was a place for parents to let loose with their pocketbooks and also have a little fun. They even created a beach scene on the blue waters of Hawaii complete with tropical trees and tiki hut and a really cool surf board!

Both the famous and infamous walked the red carpet at the Fauntleroy Children’s Center yearly auction. Once again Jim Dever was on hand to MC the evening filled with Oscar like glamour, good friends, good food, and lots of spending! To see all the auction photos click here!
Auctions are great fun. Especially when you are helping to raise money for a good cause. After bidding on the silent auction items guests feasted on dinner and prepared their strategies for the Dessert Dash! You can view all the images by clicking here.
The Gatewood Bids for Kids Auction was held Friday evening, March 11th at the Hall at Fauntleroy. It was a superhero auction adventure where “Superheros” of all kinds showed up to bid on items to help raise money for the kids.
On hand were (right to left) Nicole “Gator Girl” Sipila, PTA Vice President, Rhonda Claytor, Principal and Mary Howland, PTA President.
Says Rhonda Claytor, “Our fundamental beliefs at Gatewood are that class size should be as small as possible, that children should have a variety of learning experience…this event is a crucial part of providing the funding to make these ideas continue to be an effective learning tool and a reality at Gatewood.”
I was on hand to capture some of the Superheros in action. You can view these images at: http://www.gailannphotography.com/GatewoodSuperheros11/

It was a flashback to the seventies as the 2010 Gatewood Auction got underway. I was happy to be on hand and capture some of that retro feeling as guests participated in the silent auction and then proceeded to dinner and the live auction.

Good news is….the city has sold the building to the local community so we will be able to utilize this much loved building for years to come. Good job, all!
