Wondering about the goings-on outside of Wallingford last week? Here’s a roundup of some of the highlights from our neighbor blogs:

Middle schooler speaks out against violence, YouTube-style: If you haven’t already, check out this 7th grader’s wonderfully creative video, which features random passersby around Green Lake and criticizes violent protests that have erupted in light of the recent health care reform. We really can learn from the children!

“$1,500 reward for lost E. Union pit bull puppy leads to armed robbery”: Wow…it’s not every day you see a headline like that. CHS Blog has the scoop. We hope Honey gets home safe!

LED streetlight replacement coming soon: According to Fremont Universe, Seattle City Light will soon install LED lights on neighborhood streets throughout Fremont, U-District, Ballard, Eastlake, South Greenlake and plan to continue these installations throughout the city over a period of five years.
