  Seventy Minutes Before the Shooting

  Jul 28, 202638 min

  On July 26, 2026, my family was twenty steps from the shooting at the Bite of Seattle. 300,000 people came to the festival; two brought guns; three people died. This is our account, told from inside the crowd: the seventy minutes before, the eleven minutes of running, and the days after. A listener advisory applies: this episode describes a mass shooting. This episode is different from every other episode of The Mosaic Mind, and it is told in a different voice. It is factual. It is also intense.

About heart, about leading without a title, and about the person who stays ready on the sidelines when no one is watching. This episode connects gully cricket behind a building in Mulund in 1977 to the IPL dressing room to a cricket kid growing up in Seattle — and why the weight every gully cricket kid carries turns out to never have been a burden.

  The Garden That 400 People Built

  May 8, 2026—S0

  I showed up for volunteer orientation at the Bellevue Botanical Garden expecting to learn where the compost bins were. I left three hours later with a completely revised picture of my city. Turns out the garden is run by a coalition of nine nonprofits and the City of Bellevue. Four hundred volunteers. Seventeen thousand five hundred hours a year. Free and open to the public — always. This episode: land acknowledgments, salamanders in leaf piles, extinct birds in a sculpture garden, a couple who
