FILE – In this Nov. 22, 2019 file photo, Imaad Zuberi, left, leaves the federal courthouse in Los Angeles with his attorney Thomas O’Brien, right, after pleading guilty to funneling donations from foreigners to U.S. political campaigns. Zuberi, an elite political fundraiser, had the ear of top Democrats and Republicans alike — a reach that included private meetings with then-Vice President Joe Biden and VIP access at Donald Trump’s inauguration. But federal prosecutors say Zuberi’s life was built on a series of lies and the lucrative enterprise of filling the campaign coffers of American politicians and profiting from the resulting influence. They describe him as a “mercenary” political donor who gave to anyone — often using foreign money given through illegal straw donors. (AP Photo/Brian Melley, File) NY701 NY701

Waterfront Park’s Pier 62 is now open, and the one-acre area is getting a steady flow of socially-distanced visitors, and not just for the fishing, Monday, Nov. 23, 2020 in Seattle. A series of lanterns changing colors show archival images that serve to symbolically honor and celebrate Seattle communities and families. The sprawling piece was made by the art collective Psych-Pop, two former Garfield High School classmates: Devon Midori Hale and Chi Moscou-Jackson. The duo was invited to create here by Friends of Waterfront Seattle’s Artist-in-Residence Takiyah Ward, who asked local artists “How do we honor our elders, determine our self, and protect our youth?” according to a sign at the pier. The 2020 lantern piece is called “Artifacts From Utopia.” The pier is open 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily. For more information about Pier 62 go to waterfrontparkseattle.org . 215738
