As a child, Trudy Ederle survived a severe case of measles that damaged her hearing. Few could have imagined that the water would eventually make her one of the most famous athletes in the world.

At 18, she won Olympic gold. Then, in 1926, she became the first woman to swim the English Channel. Only five men had ever completed the crossing, but Ederle did more than join them. Her time of 14 hours and 34 minutes shattered the existing record by nearly two hours.

Her hearing continued to deteriorate later in life, but her connection to the water never disappeared. Ederle eventually spent years teaching deaf children how to swim, passing on the skill that had once carried her into history.

A post made by former Liberty Cafe Crew. Renton! Liberty Cafe, a beloved establishment needs our help!

Shortened version for post: Liberty Cafe and the Owner Debbie Natelson are a huge part of the heart of downtown Renton.

Debbie has been a strong independent woman business owner with over 30 years of giving back to the community.

From a coffee cart, to Jet City Espresso, now Liberty Cafe! Creating a space for, arts, music and community gathering.

In her spare time Debbie spends it in the community with volunteer work, doing water testing across King County.

Deb’s life long partner Paul’s health is rapidly declining, and the time left is uncertain.

Paul now needs Debs support and to know Deb is supported.

We welcome all and any support and donations.
Please share with any who Renton has touched their heart.

Must Sea! Our local artists never cease to amaze me. Our May artist, Linda Logie takes resin pour art to a whole new level. Like a Rorsarch test, after she finishes a resin pour, she sees an image within the swirls. She then takes her magical artistic fingers and paints amazing detailed illustrations on multilayers on top of the resin pour. Each piece is a unique masterpiece...full of incredible detail. Come see her works and meet the artist in person tomorrow Friday evening May 15th at the Downtown Renton Art Walk, 3rd Friday on S 3rd St...5-8 pm...If you miss the Art Walk...which would be a great lost opportunity, you can see Linda's work here at Liberty Cafe Tues -Sunday ( closed Mondays)
