Tomorrow’s Wednesday, and it looks like our blazing summer skies will once again be dulled by that gross gray we’ve been graced with far too much this year.

CHS Capitol Hill Seattle posts some additional speculation about a possible side trip up Capitol Hill. Maybe Airforce One will buzz the Space Needle, too! Regardless, traffic will no doubt be completely snarled all over…
