Are you looking for a welcoming space where you can feel less isolated and connect with other Black people in your community?

Join us at this Hey Black Seattle Meetup Tour stop at the Station on Beacon Hill!

For the entire month of February, we are visiting black-owned coffee shops. And we are going for more than just a good cup of coffee! These shops are essential community spaces where our people can stay connected to what's happening in our neighborhoods and meet other people who live and work nearby.

So, pull up with Hey Black Seattle! Come to this meetup and support a very necessary Black-owned business while making connections with new folx in your community.

Pro-tip...The Station accepts the Intentionalist Buy Black Card.

It's a gift card that can be used exclusively at participating Black-owned businesses, but by using it, you can save 20% off your purchases. The reason is because BECU covers some of the cost....for example, you would only spend $80 to purchase a $100 Buy Black Card.

That means more money to spend at the Black-owned businesses at the heart of our communities! Check out the card: (LINK)

HAMILTON is the epic saga that follows the rise of Founding Father Alexander Hamilton as he fights for honor, love, and a legacy that would shape the course of a nation. Based on Ron Chernow’s acclaimed biography and set to a score that blends hip-hop, jazz, R&B, and Broadway, HAMILTON has had a profound impact on culture, politics, and education. HAMILTON features book, music, and lyrics by Lin-Manuel Miranda, direction by Thomas Kail, choreography by Andy Blankenbuehler, and musical supervision and orchestrations by Alex Lacamoire. In addition to its 11 Tony Awards, it has won Grammy®, Olivier Awards, the Pulitzer Prize for Drama, and an unprecedented special citation from the Kennedy Center Honors.

Third Place Books is thrilled to welcome local author Neena Viel to our Seward Park store for a discussion of her debut horror novel, Listen To Your Sister, a hilarious and terrifying speculative tale of the nightmares that haunt us, and the deep, powerful love that can tie family together. This event is free and open to the public.

Twenty-five year old Calla Williams is struggling since becoming guardian to her brother, Jamie. Calla is overwhelmed and tired of being the one who makes sacrifices to keep the family together. Jamie, full of good-natured sixteen-year-old recklessness, is usually off fighting for what matters to him or getting into mischief, often at the same time. Dre, their brother, promised he would help raise Jamie–but now the ink is dry on the paperwork and in classic middle-child fashion, he’s off doing his own thing. And through it all, The Nightmare never stops haunting Calla: recurring images of her brothers dying that she is powerless to stop.

When Jamie’s actions at a protest spiral out of control, the siblings must go on the run. Taking refuge in a remote cabin that looks like it belongs on a slasher movie poster rather than an AirBNB, the siblings now face a new threat where their lives–and reality–hang in the balance. Their sister always warned them about her nightmares. They should have listened.

Razor-sharp, wildly imaginative, breathlessly harrowing, and utterly unforgettable, Listen to Your Sisteris a hilarious and terrifying speculative tale of the nightmares that haunt us, and the deep, powerful love that can tie family together.

Neena Viel is a horror writer who lives in a cabin in the Washingtonian woods with her husband and the best dog on the planet. Her passion for philanthropy (almost) rivals her love for ghost stories. Listen To Your Sister is her debut novel.

In 1930s New York, the hopes of the Harlem Renaissance have been tempered by the realities of the Great Depression. Best friends and artists Angel and Guy dream of a glamorous future but can barely eke out a living in the jazz clubs, while their neighbor Delia and local doctor Sam deal with bombs and break-ins as they try to bring a family planning clinic to the neighborhood. When Angel catches the eye of a handsome newcomer, their clashing values set off a chain of events that will change everyone’s lives. Lyrical and deeply moving, Pearl Cleage’s classic drama will immerse you in the joy, sorrow, and resilience of a society on the brink of change.
