Seattle TV Personality And Legendary Singer Dick Foley

 

Dick Foley,once a Grammy nominated performer with the Brothers Four, who later would be widely recognized as a Seattle area TV personality, has died. 

Foley helped formed the Brothers Four with three fellow fraternity friends at the University Of Washington in the late 50s. 

They performed the song, Greenfields, on the Ed Sullivan Show and the song shot up to number 2 on the Billboard Hot 100. 

Around this area, Foley is probably remembered as the long time host of Northwest Afternoon on KOMO 4.  Even if you didn't watch the show, he was prominent on the promo ads. 

I met Dick a few years ago when he shipped a guitar at The UPS Store in Bellevue. It was a real treat to meet such a legend.

Opening Day Fun

We watched the Mariners 2026 season opener from the Hit It Here Cafe at T-Mobile Park.
We actually had tickets for the 300 level.  But in spite of the crowd, we were about to get a table right away, while enjoying a perfect view of the pregame ceremonies and the game.  We stayed our table for the  entire game. 
A fun time was had by all in spite of our team being on the wrong side of a 6-4 score.
