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…
As a follow-up to Sunday's story that Jupiter Music had been robbed, two commenters noted that Julia's had apparently been robbed the same night. In related news, My Green Lake has two crime stories this week: a mugging at 65th and Woodlawn (two suspects taken into custody shortly after) and car prowls at the Green Lake Preschool. The moral of the story: for your own protection, please don't own anything of value.
Jupiter Recording, the little recording studio tucked next to the Durn Good at the corner of 40th and Wallingford, was robbed last night. They've sent out a message via Twitter with a list of the items stolen. Keep your eyes peeled for these appearing in pawn shops, Craigslist, and some guy's trunk: Seattle area musicians and studio types watch out for someone trying to sell 2 Neumann M147s, 2 vintage AKG C414EBs, Royer R122, 2 Crown CM700s, Oktava ML52 Ribbon, Lots…
Looks like the crackdown on shady motels on Aurora that we covered a month or so ago haven't yet succeeded in rooting out the trouble. Steve pointed us towards this Seattle Times story: Seattle police and King County sheriff's deputies have surrounded a green Honda whose occupants may have been involved in a shooting in Shoreline earlier today. According to the Sheriff's Office, a gunshot was fired around 11:30 this morning in the parking lot of Sugar's strip club in Shoreline.…
Phinneywood notes that they've got their own crime wave going on, including a serial robber who targets dentist offices for their cash, drugs and gold fillings. Fremont Universe is helping B.F. Day recruit tutors My Green Lake is offering lessons in how not to be a douchebag, courtesy of someone named Horseknuckle. Hilarity ensues. EastlakeAve has embedded some b-boy (breakdancing) videos shot in the Eastlake neighborhood. They're pretty good. This one's our favorite:
