Where: Community Room at Stanwood-Camano YMCA

We’re putting our knowledge of Community Transit to work. Join us for a fun excursion to the Seattle Center where we will visit the Museum of Pop Culture.

“Pop culture is world-shaping and multi-faceted. It defines us, and we define it. It’s constantly evolving, in form and in medium, and the only way to be a part of it is to immerse ourselves in it. That’s why there’s MOPOP.” Exhibits include: Power of Pop Culture, Guitar Gallery, Infinite World of Sci-Fi, Indie Game Revolution, Fantasy – World of Myth and Magic, Echos of African Music and Wild Blue Angel: Hendrix – among others.

We will meet at the McCollum Park Park and Ride at 8:30 to board a Community Transit bus to Link Light Rail in Lynnwood.

We will ride Light Rail to the Westlake Station and board the Seattle Monorail that will take us to Seattle Center and MOPOP.

• Costs: $14.00
• You will also need an Orca Card with at least $8.00 in funds required for your Community Transit fees.
• A group lunch at MOPOP is planned and prices range from $10.00-$25.00.

Please note: There will be approximately 3-4 miles of walking with multiple changes in public transportation.

Holiday Lights is a wonderful way to kick-start 2026!

Schedule:

• Leave the Y at 3:30 PM sharp
• Depart Holiday Lights at 5:30 PM sharp

Yin yoga is a slow-paced, meditative style of yoga in which passive poses are held for extended periods (typically 3-5 minutes, sometimes longer) to target the deep connective tissues—such as fascia, ligaments, joints, and bones—rather than muscles. Props such as blocks and blankets help support the body to encourage deeper relaxation. Yin Yoga can lower stress levels, enhance a sense of well-being and improve sleep.

Mats and blocks are available but please bring a blanket.
