We've been getting multiple reports that planned changes to the Route 16 bus are undesirable. Both the WCSC and University House are working on petitions that oppose the changes. Mike Ruby covered this previously for us, but he's out of town and Richard did a great job of writing up the changes that are coming. Richard Writes: I am concerned that Metro is proposing the deletion of large portions of the present #16 bus service as part of their 2016 system…

Sutra has served its last vegan prix fixe experience, vacating their building in advance of the development project that's slated for that corner of 45th and Interlake.

If you are in Wallingford you are probably aware of the gruesome accident where a Ducks vehicle slammed into a charter bus on the Aurora Bridge, killing 4 and wounding many more at lunch time today. Initial reports are of a vehicle malfunction, although the scene will remain under investigation for some time.

The redwood was little, but the art fence there is worth the trip: Next up we saw a number of redwoods in people's back yards south of 45th. They were all pretty hard to get to though, Without being able to pose kids or stuff…
