It disappeared sometime during the night. This is the 4th package, all from Amazon, that has gone missing from my porch in 2 months. While not entirely comforting, at the very least, we can rule out the suspect involved in this month's rash of burglaries.

Puget Sound Business Journal reports that Joule Restaurant is closing on N. 45th St. at the end of April and re-opening this summer at the Fremont Collective (3506 Stone Way N.). (Aw, Joule. You didn't call; you didn't write; you just sent your "Dear John" letter to the PSBJ. Sniff! Sniff!)
