Eagle-eye Shannon sent over some pictures she just took of a house fire on Corliss, between 44th and 45th, behind Kabul. Seems like everything is under control and there was tremendous response from the fire department. We'll let you know when we have more information to share. Hope everyone's ok. Update, 3/10: We just received an incident report from the Seattle Fire Department. Thankfully, this wasn't a fire, but excessive smoke caused by a previous fire lit in the home's…

OK, folks, you forced our hand. We're taking it up a notch. The last four times we ran the What in the Wallingford contest, eagle-eyed readers nailed it in a matter of hours (and sometimes minutes). So we're going to make it a little more difficult. This week's mystery photo is shown at right. As you can tell, we had a little fun with it, but it should still be recognizable. Also, to give everyone more of a sporting chance, instead of…

We've had chickens for a decade, raising most from chicks. If you want to raise chicks, your season starts now: From this week through to the end of April the Bothell Feed Center is selling baby chicks. We currently have Rock Star and Plymouth Barred Rock birds, but Orpingtons and Australorps are our favorite breeds (gentle, good layers, not so destructive). Chicks are easy for the first month or so- you just need a box, a lamp, and some starter feed.…
When chefs Rachel Yang of Joule or Amy McRay of Eva cook, you can imagine they have a pretty well-stocked pantry to work with. Imagine, though, that these two cooking experts were limited to food you'd find in a food bank. We'd say it's doubtful you'd find "Hawaiian prawn stone pot with saffron rice" or "Grilled Northwest Beef ‘Petit Tender’ Steak with a Sauté of Roasted Potato, Red Onion, and Winter Vegetables & a Feta, Smoked Paprika and Almond Salts" on the…
Remember when Hollow Earth Radio was in Wallingford? Yeah, that was cool. Even cooler is the fact that they're bringing part of their annual MagmaFest back to Wallingford. What is a Magma Fest? It's a festival to support local indie musicians and to expose more people to Hollow Earth Radio’s volunteer-run, online, freeform radio. What a great combo! The festival is already happening now at various venues across the city. Learn more here or drop by the Chapel Performance Space in…
