As for the art, let me recommend Flourishing Remnants, a portrait of the dilapidated greenhouses on Vashon Island where world-renowned collections of roses and orchids once grew. They were built in the early 20th century, and now they're abandoned—except for the attention lavished on them by the artists Heather Joy and Matthew Olds, who depict the life that continues in them in paintings, photography, drawings, and an installation.
And then there are watercolors of meat by Jamie Healy at the endlessly sweet Joe Bar, folks. Watercolors of meat.
