It's a wide open race for Seattle City Council District 4, with Rob Johnson and Michael Maddux each working to represent our neighborhood on city council. District 6 is O'Brien's to lose, but Weatbrook is hanging tough and forcing him to think locally, so that race is also fun to follow. When you want the government to do something (or stop doing something) odds are your district candidate is the one you'll be asking, so don't be an endorsement zombie, see what the…

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. As Eric mentioned a few weeks ago, two of the owners have started Harvest Beat at the Wallingford Farmers Market, but we got word from Amber and Colin, the other two, on their next move: We’ve landed in Leavenworth, WA.  Our first few days in our new home town were the most beautiful, soft, and…

Initial reports are of a vehicle malfunction, although the scene will remain under investigation for some time. This “accident” is not really an accident, as an accident implies something unavoidable. Accidents just happen, but this sort of incident is the inevitable outcome of loop holes…

While the HALA proposal to rezone single family in urban villages was withdrawn, many other HALA proposals are on track. At 9:30 AM today the Seattle City Council is discussing the HALA proposal for multi family tax break incentives. At the Wallingford Community Council HALA is pretty much regarded as the end of the world, but the political establishment is united behind it. Murray and O'Brien are the chief architects, with both District 4 candidates acting as strong backers. Rob Johnson tweeted:…
