We wanted to give you the heads-up in case you're headed to Green Lake these next few days. Seattle Parks is holding a "Work Jamboree" between 8:00am and 2:00PM on April 18-20 to gussy up the park and get it ready for the summer. Specifically, they'll be doing rolling closures of the outer running loop to resurface the path. Work starts today (April 18) at the Bathhouse Theatre and then moves clockwise to the pitch and putt golf course. Here's what…
Ashley at the Erotic Bakery wrote to let us know about a car collision that happened on Sunnyside on Tuesday (4/17) evening. Apparently one of the vehicles in the collision left the scene. If you witnessed the collision, please call 911, or you can email Ashley at [email protected]. Here's what she wrote: At 7:03pm my co-worker and I heard a series of crunches, crashes, glass shattering, and tires screeching. We work at the Erotic Bakery. Ran out the back door in…

The Humane Society will be on hand with Max Mobile, their bright yellow school bus for animals, offering the possibility of on-site adoption.

As an aspiring writer, I spend a good portion of my daily brain power plotting and scheming my way out of the 9 to 5 and into lucrative authorhood. Don't get me wrong, I like my job (Hi Boss!) but who doesn't dream of turning a passion into a profession? One Wallingford woman has done just this: by the power of her artistic skill, powerful intelligence and outgoing personality (and a whole lot of work), Wyatt Bardouille's documentary film "Dominica -…
