All right, ladies, who are you rooting for? Steelers? . . . . or Packers? On the side of the Wells Fargo Building on Densmore Ave. N. A study in shades? Picking new paint colors? Cute, and disturbing at the same time. At the corner of Wallingford Ave. N. and 45th. Found an abandoned shopping cart here and decided to wheel it back to QFC. Interesting how your resemblance to a homeless person increases in proportion to your distance from a…
Ever have one of those moments that seems to define something about your life? Or to reinforce some label you've given to your world? I'll give you an example. In 1992, a small travel agency paid me to fly to Atlanta for an event where I would represent the company as one of their writers. As I sipped a cocktail waiting for the plane to taxi down the runway, I thought, "Now I'm a real writer. Paid to travel." The first…
Elia writes: So about an hour ago at about 3:00 in the morning, I started dreaming about a woman yelling. Shortly thereafter, I realized that I was not actually dreaming--the woman was unfortunately all too real. She was hysterical and hollering bloody murder in the middle of 50th and Keystone at the top of her lungs. When I took a look outside, I saw that she had managed to stop some unfortunate lady driver and was wailing "I don't knowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!!" over…

We've got a new sponsor this month, Real Assets Property Services, Inc. They've got a medical building here in Wallingford at 3876 Bridge Way N that they're interested in filling with naturopaths and others in the "healing arts community" here in Wallingford.

Did you happen to get stuck with a ticket on Stone Way today? If not, call yourself lucky (or careful), as numerous vehicles were pulled over this afternoon after not immediately stopping for undercover cops casually crossing the crosswalk between 41st and 40th Street. The Seattle Police Department Pedestrian Sting Operation was granted by the city council after complaints from neighboring businesses/neighbors. There was a large police presence, including motorcycle officers hiding in a small condo driveway waiting to ticket vehicles.
