Woodland Park Zoo, which opened in 1899, is thrilled to celebrate its 125th anniversary, marking over a century of dedication to animal care and community engagement. The zoo is sharing the news today, May 4, since it’s the 125th day of the year.
Over the last 125 years Woodland Park Zoo has grown into a world-renowned institution, home to more than 800 animals representing nearly 300 species. Each year more than 1 million people visit the zoo, embarking on a journey that inspires a lifelong love of animals, makes science come alive and gives people the tools to take conservation action.
As the zoo marks this milestone, it’s also working to create an even better zoo through the Forests for All campaign and the Forest Trailhead exhibit. The immersive, best-in-class exhibit will be home to Matschie’s tree kangaroos, red pandas, keas and other forest dwellers.
The exhibit is scheduled to open in 2026.

The new Cascadia Fresh Market at 5444 Delridge Way SW will hold its launch event on Monday May 13, at 6:30pm. The market will offer a rotating selection of fresh produce at below retail prices. They plan to partner with local elementary school PTAs for collaborative marketing, with the market sharing 20% of daily profits back to participating schools every day of the week.
Fresh food that can’t sell at the market will be donated to a free refrigerator on-site, sponsored by the West Seattle Food Bank. Neighbors in need will be able to access fresh food at the Fresh Market and through this and other measures, the intent of the market is to be zero waste.

Sometimes you just know when to say goodbye. That was the case for Jon and Shannon Felix owners of Avalon Glassworks when it came to their trusty old furnace.
"It began to act up and I realized some of the parts I wanted to fix it were not replaceable."
They spent most of the month of April to tear down the old one and install their new furnace made by Canned Heat in Oregon used molybdenum electric heating elements that can heat it up well over 2500 degrees. It's more efficient power wise but it's also not quite as big. "The old one held almost 200 pounds of molten glass, the new one is 135 pounds. The new one also has a manual door vs an electric one but then again fewer moving parts make for more reliability," Jon said.
Avalon Glassworks is located at 2914 Avalon Way SW. They are open Thursday, Friday and Saturday from 12 Noon to 4pm. Or shop online at avalonglassworks.etsy.com
Information from The Whale Trail
Last year the Washington State Legislature passed a new law requiring boaters to stay 1,000 yards away from the critically endangered Southern Resident orcas, beginning in January 2025. With the opening of the boating season, national and regional conservation groups encourage boaters to take the voluntary pledge at givethemspace.org and give the whales the space they need today.
