Alan writes: Here’s another “What have we sunk to?” item. Here are pics of the second trash can that has been burned up at Meridian Park by the restrooms. The first time it was just the lid. Someone couldn’t figure out that there are real fire receptacles available to have a bit of a fire in just across the park. That was a month or two ago. Now, someone has burned up the entire can, lid and all. Seems to me…
A couple weeks back, we posted a query from a reader who spotted the sign you see to your right on a telephone pole around 55th and Wallingford. The question: why was someone writing down license plates in our neighborhood. We know that many readers don't go back and read comments on older posts, but this issue seemed important enough to bubble up as a follow-up post, so we're reprinting some of the comments that were posted.

What have we sunk to, Wallingford? We saw this post on My Green Lake the other day: Scarlet writes: Last night on Woodlawn between Kirkwood and Kenwood, my neighbor’s car had the wheels taken off of her car.

We think we're plugged into what's going on around the neighborhood, then a new blog, the SeattleCrime.com Blog, turns up with this detailed account of misdeeds two weekends ago at Serena's Guadalajara: When Seattle police showed up to a Wallingford bar last weekend to deal with a large fight—involving as many as 15 people, a police report says—they made a few arrests. But rather than arresting a dozen patrons, police ended up taking in the bar's manager and an armed bouncer.…
Thanks to Mimi for noting that the SPD Blotter Blog has the full story on the robbery earlier this week at Bartell's on 45th St: On October 27th at 12:18 p.m. an adult male suspect wearing a covering that concealed his mouth & nose, wrap-around sunglasses, a gray ski cap, and a dark green camouflaged jacket, entered a pharmacy in the 1800 block of North 45th Street. He presented a note to the pharmacy staff and was seen with a hand…
Harley spotted this poster and 5 or 6 of its brethren posted around 55th and Wallingford: Recorded? My License Plate? By whom?! Under the spreading chestnut tree...
This is King County's first swing at an all mail-in general election, so hold on to the ballot you received in your mail. If you're confused about how to vote, here are some handy voter guides you can reference: Jabe Blumenthal's Voter Guide: Matt L. sent us a link to this one. Who's Jabe? Apparently, the guy who invented the role of Program Manager at Microsoft. So, smart guy. Politically progressive. The Stranger's Endorsements: Obviously progressive. DOUG.'s Voter Guide: DOUG. is…
