Seattle summer starts this week

The Seattle Polish Festival is set for Saturday, July 12, 2025, from noon to 7 PM at the Seattle Center Armory and Mural Amphitheatre. This year’s theme is Polish Legends and Castles, and the event promises a vibrant mix of live music, traditional food, exhibits, and workshops.

If you’re planning to go, you can check out the full schedule and details on the official festival website. It’s a great opportunity to immerse yourself in Polish heritage— and maybe even pick up a pierogi or two.

News is pretty slow right now, so we’re holding off on the newsletter until September unless something big happens.

Wishing you a wonderful Solstice day and a delightful summer in the Pacific Northwest.

My last op-ed caused quite a stir. After years of no comments, no emails, and no thank-yous, I received several emails complementing our new newsletter and a few criticizing my opinion. Some responses were quite vile and aggressive.

This calls for an explanation and a follow-up.

Inmates are running the Asylum

The results of the first round of the presidential elections in Poland are in. I promised to remain neutral and avoid politics, but I cannot stay silent. When I see that 6% (12% in US, 17% in Canada) of Poles are voting for a fascist who openly calls for restoring the death penalty, promises to imprison women, reduce the congress and senate, increase presidential power, and restore a sovereign Poland (think North Korea) all in the name of God, I had to say something. Additionally, 51% voted for the extreme right that wants Poland to exit the EU.

Whether or not to vote is the question this week

Whether or not to vote is the question this week

Last year, we had a presidential election in the US, and this week, Polish citizens will vote for their president. While it’s not my place to tell you whether to vote or which candidate to choose, I hope you will consider voting for someone who represents the entire country, not just their party. Now more than ever, we need a president who prioritizes the nation over party interests and personal gain. We need a leader with empathy, someone who unites rather than divides, and who promotes compromise instead of hatred.

See you at the polls on Saturday.
