We met a lot of interesting people at Burien’s first Wellness Fair Saturday (Sept. 19). Among them is Jerrod Sessler. Ten years ago this November Jerrod was diagnosed with cancer. “The doctors told me it was terminal. And here I am now.”
Jerrod avoided the traditional cancer treatments that his doctors advocated at the time. “I switched to a completely healthy, vegan diet. Now I am healthy and alive.”
He has written of his survival, health and discovery of the benefits of a healthy diet and lifestyle. His book, “Five Percent Chance,” will be released this December, just in time for Christmas. To preorder (buy one, get one free) call 206-551-6100.
At the Wellness Fair, Jerrod and his wife Nikki prepared some of the vegan recipes they enjoy every day. Included were Almond Nut Milk (takes just a minute to make), Sunshine Salad (made with ground cashews, lemon juice, garlic and tumeric), and walnut tacos using Romaine lettuce leaves as the shell.
Jerrod and Nikki, who serve only a vegan diet to their three children, also have a thriving organic food delivery service called Freggies. For more info go to Freggies.com.

The annual Olde Burien Block party will run all day Saturday, July 11th, from around 9am until dark, with lots of family fun, including The Bubble Man (11am) two performances of “Burien’s Got Talent,” Karaoke, Sausage and Ice Cream Eating contests, and live music – here’s the schedule:
Olde Burien is, of course, located in Olde Burien on SW 152nd between Ambaum Blvd. and 10th Ave SW.
The City of Burien has contracted with GoatTrimmers.com to bring in around 100 hungry goats to Mathison Park, where they have been eating up blackberry bushes, ivy and other invasive plants since last Monday.
The goats will be there through Monday, Feb. 9th, so if you want to see them you can – just be aware that there’s an electric fence keeping them in the southern part of the park.
Here’s a video we shot Friday, Feb. 6th:
