In the vibrant heart of Seattle's music scene, Kisha Vaughan moves with the grace of a seasoned dancer and the passion of an eternal student. Co-owner of the iconic Easy Street Records alongside her husband Matt, Kisha's journey from Biloxi, Mississippi to the Pacific Northwest is a testament to the power of following one's dreams, no matter how late they might bloom.

Growing up in Sacramento, California, Kisha harbored a deep love for dance from an early age. "I knew I loved to dance at a very early age as a kid watching MTV, watching Solid Gold," she recalls. However, opportunities to pursue this passion were scarce in her childhood environment. It wasn't until she moved to Seattle at 23 that Kisha took her first dance class, marking the beginning of a transformative journey.

Longer hours, the Butterfly Garden, Family Farm Contact Area and several animal experiences are coming to a close for the season. Throughout the weekend and Labor Day will be the last time to experience summer programs at Woodland Park Zoo. (Jeremy Dwyer-Lindgren/Woodland Park Zoo)
