*Refugee Wish Lists
Jewish Family Service has 900+ refugee families who have resettled in the area over the past few years. These families fled from inhumane situations in their countries of origin, and were provided with basic household items when they arrived in the US. Building off of last year’s collection of household items, this year HNT is helping ‘grant wishes’ for extra essential items that most of us take for granted. This gives families the opportunity to request individual items they need to help make their house more of a home. If you would like to help fulfill a family’s wish list or have questions, email Celie & Mira Brown at Refugees@h-nt.org.

The Bones and the Book is set in Seattle’s tiny Jewish community during the Gold Rush and in 1965 and Murder in the Melting Pot is a contemporary mystery set in the Yakima Valley.
