 2002 Souvenir Button
The 2002 Summer Festival Button Design was
chosen from a number of submittals to our annual
contest. G.M. “Jerry” Blaustein sketched the
winning design (above) and received a $50 award
(which he donated back to Hi-Yu) and the opportunity
to ride in a car behind the Hi-Yu festival float in the West
Seattle Grand Parade. Jerry, a realtor for Prudential
NW Realty in Jefferson Square, has designed other
Hi-Yu festival buttons in the past.
If you would like to try your hand at designing next
year’s festival button or want to give suggestions for
the 2003 festival theme, float design, or event ideas,
visit our website at www.hiyu.com or call us at
(206) 932-3345. You are also invited to join us at
any of our general meetings (the first Monday of every
month and every Monday in July) at the West Seattle
Senior Center. Meetings begin at 7:00 PM.

2002 Hi-Yu Community Float
The theme of the 2002 Hi-Yu float is “Fun in the Sun.”
Franklin High School student, Danielle Shea, came up
with the concept and it was brought to life by designer Dan
Carver of Marysville. Float chairman, Tim Winston, and
a band of assemblers (including Rebecca Love, Julie
O’Brien, and Sarah Ryer from the Franklin Key Club)
built the float in approximately 8 weeks.
The float features the senior court standing on Alki Beach
in front of the Alki Point Lighthouse. In the background is a
city skyline with a ferry crossing Elliott Bay. The front of the
float holds the junior court sitting on logs around a bonfire.
Styrofoam, papier-mache, insulation board, wood, fabric,
and pounds of glitter were used to create these scenes.
The float, along with our junior and senior courts,
represent our community in 14 Puget Sound area parades
from Sequim to Issaquah. This would not be possible
without the dedication of many volunteers. Consider giving
to your community with your time, talents and ideas during
this next year. Contact us (info@hiyu.com or 932-3345)
and let us know of your interest.

 2002 Miss West Seattle Hi-Yu
Senior Court Royalty
Queen - Megan Winston
Hello West Seattle! My name is Megan Winston and I am
honored to be your 2002 West Seattle Hi-Yu Queen. I remember
going to see the Hi-Yu court on their float every year as a little girl,
and this summer I am excited to be able to fulfill this community
role.
I graduated from high school and Highline Community College
in 2001 and have spent this year adventuring. I’ve found myself
everywhere from joining the relief effort at Ground Zero in New
York, to being part of an arts group touring high schools in twenty
states. I feel that my adventures are just beginning as I look forward
to joining the School of Drama at the University of Washington this
coming fall.
In the meantime, I’ll be busy serving as Miss West Seattle Hi-
Yu, representing our neighborhood at festivals around Western
Washington. I’ll also be running for Miss Seafair and working part
time in the communications department of the Seattle Repertory
Theater.
As our own summer festival draws near, I invite you to join me in
celebrating this community. My hope for this summer is that events
such as the Seafair Pirates landing, Hi-Yu Bowling Tournament,
and Junction Merchants Street Fair would be more than just a
day in the sun, but also a vehicle to unify and enhance the unique
character of this community. I encourage you to stretch out a hand
to a stranger and fellow community member as you enjoy the
summer activities!
I’d like to say a special thank you to everyone! First to the
someone who has been constantly faithful and who has made all
of this possible: Jesus Christ; to my parents for their everlasting
support and encouragement (oh, and Jay and Jill for allowing
themselves to be dragged to countless Hi-Yu events), to my
amazing, wonderful, marvelous court (Eliza and Veronica, I love
you guys!), to all the hard working Hi-Yu members, and to you, the
West Seattle Community. May the festivities begin!

First Princess - Eliza Junkerman
Namaste West Seattle! My name is
Eliza Junkerman and I am your 2002 First
Princess. I graduated from Franklin High
School this year and I will be attending
Western Washington University this fall
where I plan to study Psychology with
an interest in forensic science.
I work in the heart of the Alaska
Junction at the best fitness club in
the state, Urban Fitness. I have been
working there for over a year and a half as
a receptionist, and have recently become
an aerobic kickboxing instructor as well.
Yep, that’s right, a tiara and a fantastic left hook, watch out!
The past months have been full of planning to make this
summer the best Hi-Yu has had, and I am excited that it is time
for the sun to shine and the clouds to part, so that our float can
participate in festivals around Western Washington. Whether
you’re at the Concert in the Park or watching the Grand Parade,
I encourage you to take part in our community festival and join
us in the sun this summer!
Finally, I would like to thank my parents, Nancy Hallberg
and Peter Junkerman, my little (only in age) brother, Per
Junkerman, Urban Fitness staff and members, Stacey, Dacia,
Kitty, Rebecca, Katy, Kristin, Natalie, Sara, Naomi, Kalli….
Quick somebody stop me before I take over Veronica’s space!
Thank you to everyone that supported me by buying a button
or being a smiling face in the crowd, it means more to me than
you know.
Second Princess - Veronica Walker
Hello West Seattle! My name is Veronica
Walker and I am honored to be your 2002
Second Princess. I graduated from
Seattle Lutheran High School in 2001
and will be a sophomore at Linfield
College in McMinnville, Oregon this
fall, where I play soccer and am a
psychology major. I plan on becoming a
high school counselor or psychologist.
This past year I had the opportunity
to volunteer as a Young Life leader for
McMinnville High School, which I plan
to continue during the next three years. I
will also continue playing soccer and will serve as a resident
advisor.
In addition to Hi-Yu activities this summer, I get to work and
take a vacation with my family. Being a part of Hi-Yu has been
an amazing experience thus far which will only get better. This
year is just the beginning of my involvement in this festival
and in our community. I look forward to being a part of the
flourishing of West Seattle.
I would like to thank my family, friends, clubs, organizations,
and above all, Jesus Christ for all of the support, encouragement,
love, and time given to me.

 2002 Miss West Seattle Hi-Yu Coronation
Join us as we bring Hi-Yu’s “Fun In The Sun” theme indoors for
the 2002 Miss West Seattle Hi-Yu Coronation. This year’s program
will be held at Chief Sealth High School on Sunday July 21st at
7:00pm. In her fourth year as Director, Tiara Johnson has
joined forces with former judge Annette Champoux and
several other volunteers to make this year’s program one you will
not want to miss!
The Coronation is the final phase of a long event-filled summer
for our candidates. In June they met their sponsors, penned an
essay, and were inducted into the Order of the White Rose. In
July they were visible at many community events, including the
Seafair Pirates Landing at Alki, the Junction Merchants’ Street Fair,
Concert in the Park at Hiawatha, Hi-Yu Bowling Tournament. In
addition, they participated in an interview with this year’s program
judges, followed by an open reading of the essay they wrote in
June. All of these events are designed to give the judges insight
into the candidates’ personalities, and to see how they contribute to
our community and festival.
We are excited to have two new Mistresses of Ceremonies
joining us this year. Christine Chen of KCPQ-13 Morning News
and West Seattle resident and theater arts aficianado Patricia
Britton. Their sparkling personalities will keep the program lively,
while working together ensures that everything will move right
along as the show progresses.
The tone will be set with the spectacular opening number, “Girls
Just Wanna Have Fun”, choreographed by Auburn Scallon.
Although none of our candidates were even born yet when this
song debuted, Cyndi Lauper’s greatest hit remains popular among
all generations and embodies the spirit of the Miss West Seattle
Hi-Yu Scholarship Program.
Following the opening number, the candidates will demonstrate
their talent, speaking, and presentation skills. In between judged
categories, the audience will be entertained by the current Senior
Court, as they present their talents. We are also proud to feature
Laura Blue, Miss Burien 2002, who will be performing the talent
number she presented at the 2002 Miss Washington competition.
In addition to the selection of the Senior Court for 2002-2003,
each of the following awards will be presented to the candidate
who meets the highest level of qualification based on the individual
award’s criteria:
Academic Achievement Award - $100 -

cumulative grade point average, letters of recommendation

 2002 SEAFAIR Pirates Landing at Alki Beach
Saturday July 6th, 2002
11:00am to 5:00pm
Alki Beach Promenade
The Seattle SEAFAIR Pirates will once again lay siege
to our fair West Seattle community when they storm the
beach at the annual West Seattle Hi-Yu Pirate’s Landing at
Alki Beach. They will arrive on Alki to pillage and plunder
during the Hi-Yu Summer Festival and “Kick-Off” the annual
Seattle SEAFAIR events. The action-packed day starts at
11:00 AM and will offer family fun and entertainment until 5:00
PM. Stage shows featuring local bands will entertain throughout the
day. “Miles From Chicago”, a Rhythm & Blues Band, wowed everyone last year
and will headline the afternoon again this year. Back also is the “Swashbuckler
Beach Vault”, a US Track & Field sanctioned NW Regional Championship Pole
Vaulting competition sponsored by the Willamette Strider’s Track Club. Vintage
Chevrolet Corvettes from the Tacoma Classical Glass Corvette Club will be on
display. SEAFAIR and West Seattle Hi-Yu Royalty and this year’s candidates
will make an appearance. Kid’s will love participating in the Pirate Look-Alike
contest sponsored by the West Seattle Kiwanis Club, with great prizes.
Enjoy the food provided by different vendors as you stroll the Alki promenade,
listen to the music, or just lay in the sun on our beautiful beach.
Lest we not forget the main event, The Seattle SEAFAIR Pirates! The
excitement builds as the time for the landing approaches. While the tide
dictates the actual landing
time, around noon, when you
see the “Yankee Clipper” Sea
Scout Sailing Vessel sailing
near by and its’ cannons
banging away during the
“battle”, you know the pirates
are very close. The SEAFAIR
Pirates will “Hit” the beach
in Landing Craft provided by
the U.S. Army Reserve. This
year’s Captain Kidd, Bob
Gazewood, will be leading
the pirates in their landing on
the beach at Alki, to officially
start this summer’s SEAFAIR
celebrations and to take over
the city. They’ll have some
chests of treasure and
plunder to share with their
little pirate mateys, too. This
year should be spectacular.
Remembering what has
happened in past years,
what fiendish tricks could the
Pirates have up their sleeve
for this special event? Come
join us for a great day at the
beach!

please call the West Seattle
Hi-Yu information line at

 Walker Rock Garden
The Walker Rock Garden is a showpiece of inspired
whimsy, and a terrific illustration of the principle that anyone
can become an artist. It was built by Milton Walker and
his wife Florence in the back yard of their West Seattle
home during off-hours between 1958 and 1980. A machinist
at Boeing, Milton Walker was fascinated by rocks collected
on hikes with his family; his earliest stonework dates from
1943. Creating the garden gradually became an obsession
with Milton, an untutored genius whose baroque and colorful
creations soon filled most of his property, situated on a green
hillside overlooking Puget Sound.
Milton Walker cut and fitted virtually all these stones
himself. He loved the textures and colors of rock, and
devoted his spare time to presenting them in novel and
contrasting ways. The garden grew like topsy, with never a
plan committed to paper; its unifying theme was the beautiful
patterns revealed in the stones, and the playful arrangement
of building materials into intricate patterns. These materials-
-many-hued agate, rough cobblestones, big chunks of
translucent rose quartz, eroded sandstone, rough bubbly
magma, glossy black obsidian, fragments of colored glass
and tile--are handsomely set off. Lush plantings, a shady
patio, and the splashing fountain in the center, together
orchestrate a restful mood in the midst of busy and complex
layers of stonework.
The garden, located in the back yard of the Walkers’
private home, is maintained to a superb standard. The public
may visit this West Seattle wonderland during the summer
season, by appointment only. To set up an appointment, call
(206) 935-3036.

Alki Community
The Alki Monument
In 1851, Alki Point was a flat, sandy spot
which extended a half mile into Puget
Sound from hills to the east in west central
King County. In November of 1851,
the Denny Party landed there from the
schooner Exact to form a settlement which
later developed into the City of Seattle.
Referred to as the birthplace of Seattle,
this is the city’s Plymouth Rock. In fact, it
has a piece of the historic rock in its base.
The monument (which can be found at the
intersection of Alki Avenue Southwest and
63rd Avenue Southwest) was given to the
city in 1905 by Lenora Denny, daughter of
Arthur Denny.
The Statue of Liberty
The Statue of Liberty, a seven foot replica of the original “Liberty
Enlightening the World” in New York City, was a gift from Reginald
H. Parsons and the Seattle Council of the Boy Scouts of America
in 1952. It is located at the beach 2700 block of Alki Avenue
Southwest. Vandals stole Liberty’s torch-bearing arm in April,
but the missing appendage was returned and the 1950-vintage
piece has been restored. The statue has become such a symbol
of liberty and courage that it became a place to mourn, to reflect,
and to leave mementos after the terrorist attacks of September 11,
2001.
Alki Point Lighthouse
The first lighthouse was erected
in 1887 on wood scaffolding.
Rebuilt in 1910, the automated
light can be seen for 15 miles.
The lighthouse is located at
3201 Alki Ave SW and is open
between Memorial Day and
Labor Day. Tours are offered
noon to 4:00 pm on Saturday
and Sunday. Reservations
for special events at the
lighthouse or tours can be made by calling the U.S. Coast Guard
at 217-6120.
Alki Bathhouse
The Historic Alki Bathhouse was built in 1911 as a huge bathing
and recreational pavilion. The building contained dressing rooms,
locker facilities, a small theater, large promenade deck and a
gymnasium. As many as 20,000 people would take the ferry to Alki
to enjoy the frigid water and picnic near the beach.
Over the years the Bathhouse has been used for many
recreational activities. After W.W.II the building was demolished
and a smaller facility was built. The new Bathhouse became an
artist community that has been thriving for over
30 years.
The Bathhouse pottery studio offers pottery
classes for all ages. The painting studio
continues to offer a place for the public to paint
throughout week.

 West Seattle American Legion Grand Parade
On Saturday, July 20th, at 11:00 AM, the American Legion Post
#160 will begin the annual West Seattle Parade along California Avenue, starting
at Admiral Way and continuing south for 1.5 miles to the West Seattle
Junction, ending at Edmonds Street. Some highlights of the parade
will include the SEAFAIR Pirates, All City Marching Band (made up
of students from all over the Seattle School District), The Lake City
Vigilantes, and the SEAFAIR Princesses, who are vying for the title of Miss
SEAFAIR 2002 -- not to mention the 2002 West Seattle Hi-Yu Festival Float
and Royalty! We anticipate having the King County Police Honor Guard
to lead the parade.
The West Seattle Hi-Yu float crew has been working very hard
the past two months taking your Hi-Yu float to parades throughout the
Northwest. As a result of their hard work, parade floats are expected from several
communities, including Tacoma’s Daffodil Festival float, the SEAFAIR float, and
the Port Orchard Fathoms of Fun float. Keep buying those Hi-Yu buttons!
The West Seattle Parade was started by the American Legion Post #160 in
1934 by Post Commander Orville Rummel. He was also
instrumental in the formation of the original Hi-Yu Association,
and in 1984 he created an annual award that is given to a
community member each year
for outstanding community
service. Sadly, Orville has now
passed away, but the legacy
he has created will live on for
generations to come. Be sure
and look for the Orville Rummel
Award winner at the beginning of
the parade.

 West Seattle High School Alumni Association
The renovation of West Seattle High School is right on schedule
and will open in September
The West Seattle High School Foundation was formed
to raise extra funds for such things as a science greenhouse,
school-wide computer network, lighting, sound, rigging, and
curtains for the auditorium, artwork, repointing of the outside
brickwork, and more. Your generosity will help to make West
Seattle High a world-class facility. Check the Foundation website
at www.wshsfoundation.org or call Shirley Tupper at

In 2001, the Alumni Association gave over $37,000 in
scholarships, some to students who have been successful in
pursuing further education and of course some to graduating
seniors from West Seattle High School. This year they gave about
$50,000 in scholarships to 19 students: 5 to graduating seniors and
14 to ongoing students. Five of these ongoing students are now in
their final college year and have had their tuition paid through this
scholarship for a full four years.
The Alumni Association is still looking for any unwanted
yearbooks. Call Betty Marks Broughton at (206) 932-
6583 if you find one you would like to donate. If you attended
West Seattle High and are not receiving the Alumni Edition of the
Chinook, that means the Association does not have your address.

Hours: Thursday - 12:00-6:00 PM

Friday - 10:00 AM-3:00 PM
Saturday & Sunday - 12:00-3:00 PM

The Birthplace of Seattle / Log House Museum has been

open since November 13, 1997 (the 146th anniversary of the
landing of the Denny party at Alki Beach) and is located in an
authentically renovated turn-of-the-century log structure on
Alki Point. This structure was once the carriage house of the
“Fir Lodge” estate, one of Alki’s first year-round homes built
by prominent Seattlites William and Gladys Bernard.
The current exhibit is “The Spirit Returns”, which
offers an in-depth perspective on the pioneers and the
Duwamish tribe. It presents Duwamish life before and after
the settlers arrived, including the legacy of the Point Elliott
Treaty of 1855. It tells the story of unrealized promises to viewing and purchase are:

Another feature of the museum is “Even in the Darkest

September 11th, 2001 when area residents laid toys,
letters, and personal items at the base of a 1952 replica of
the Statue of Liberty in Seattle’s Alki Beach Neighborhood.
There will be an exhibit of September 11th memorial artifacts
and documents on the first anniversary of the attacks,
September 11th, 2002.
The museum has become a heritage educational tour
destination for school groups and other special interest
groups. Other heritage education opportunities available to
area schools include traveling heritage trunks and resource
libraries, school assembly programs; and a “teen docent”
program, which is funded by King County Resources.
With the acquisition and preservation of the Log House
Museum, the South West Seattle Historical Society
now has a home to help fulfill its mission to preserve,
interpret, and communicate the heritage of the Duwamish
