Our friends at Txori, the pintxo bar in Belltown, have organized some fun events to celebrate San Fermin from July 7th to July 14th. Here’s the calendar of events from their newsletter:
Tonight, July 7th, begins our San Fermin Fest!!
Run with the Bulls at 8pm! You can sign-up all the way up until 7:30 tonight!
Come get your souvenir t-shirt, enjoy some great food & wine specials and Run With The Bulls! Plus… it’s all for a great cause!!
A mass of participants running up the two alleyways behind Txori in an effort not to get “gored” by one of the human-powered bulls dripping with red paint! (Don’t worry - it washes out of your souvenir t-shirt.) And help support The Puget Sound Blood Center - The BloodMobile will be on sight from 4-7pm! And the Run starts promptly at 8pm. So Come Join The Fun!!
We also have a host of other events to treat you to all that San Fermin has to offer. TUESDAY - Bring your Brood and a Flock of Friends as we gather together as “Birds of a Feather!” WEDNESDAY - we pay tribute to the man with the red cape. Our “Torero Night” brings you red wine and roses to toast the triumph of this great Spanish legend. THURSDAY - Chef Joseba invites you to sample some of the best in Navarran wine. Stop by for a sampling and stay for dinner! FRIDAY & SATURDAY mark our First Annual Pintxo Competition. Come in and vote for your favorite recipe and see who will be crowned “Pintxo Master!” SUNDAY - features our film fest with two showings of “The Sun Also Rises” at 2pm & 8pm. We wrap the festivities up on MONDAY at 6pm with our Monthly “Txoko Dinner.”

Mil Esker to all those involved in helping to make this year’s 10th year anniversary celebration a huge success. The event was pure enjoyment, especially when the raindrops at Lake Sammamish let up and we had an unforgettable performance by Juan Mari Beltran and his band from Euskadi. On behalf of Seattle Euskal Etxea, thank you to all those involved in making it possible for this group of amazing talent to come to Seattle! SEE members and friends had the pleasure of hosting the band during their Seattle tour, and time spent during this cultural exchange will be remembered by all. Thank you to all who contributed towards hosting our guests, and for making them feel comfortable.
The food at this year’s picnic was unforgettable as well..succulent, perfectly seasoned lamb, idiazabal cheese, steaming garbanzos, gourmet chorizo, beet salad, and tortillas and Gateau Basque that were gobbled up in no time. Thank you to all who contributed to the absolutely delicious spread at this year’s picnic. The event was a successful fundraiser, not to mention a lot of fun for the club. A raffle was held at the event, and autographed Beltran band posters, Gerald Hirigoyen wine, Idiazabal cheese, Basque books, and other goodies were given away. Thank you to those who donated items in this year’s raffle, your support and generosity is much appreciated. The Spanish Table in the Pike Place Market helped provide the cheese and wine, and we are glad to have their support and delicious goodies in our own backyard!
Again, Eskerrik Asko to everyone who participated in the SEE 10th Anniversary Picnic and Concert. SEE you next time!

Come join us for this presentation by Dr. William Fitzhugh, Director of the Arctic Studies Center at the Smithsonian Institution. Dr. Fitzhugh will share his findings on the little known but pivotal role of Basque whalers in the exploration of the Americas in the 16th and 17th centuries.

Where: Continental Place / 2125 First Ave. Fifth Floor Party Room / Seattle, WA 98121 (See below for directions).
Dr. Fitzhugh’s recent excavations of ancient whaling sites in Canada have found that Basques did not disappear from Newfoundland waters in the early 17th century as generally believed, but continued voyaging to that area for more than another century.
He is known for his archeological studies of Arctic peoples. As curator of the Smithsonian’s National Museum of Natural History’s arctic collections, Fitzhugh has produced several international exhibitions, as well as films, television shows, and popular and scientific publications.
Directions:

join us for a great time at our Summer Picnic in Yakima this year (we rotate among 3 sites throughou the state). The festivities will begin at 11am and continue throughout the day with kids games, music, dancing, mus playing, etc. We are fortunate to have band from Euskal Herria performing. Beste Bat is their name and they’ll bring their trikitixa (accordion), bass, guitar, voices, etc and share their musical talents with us. Lamb and possibly salmon will be provided. Please bring something to drink and a side dish to share. The location is the St. Joseph’s Athenum Mission Park: 17740 Ahtanum Road, Yakima. There is a old mission where Aita Tillous will celebrate mass at noon that day. There are also plenty of grounds to camp out on. It’s a very beautiful site.
