To Fresh, or Not To Fresh?

More often these days while snooping up and down my street, I see that distinctive light-green Amazon Fresh truck parked in front of someone's house delivering groceries.  Which sets off speculation about what I'm missing out on.

Tuesday Traffic Alert

We're seeing reports that President Obama will be in Seattle Tuesday. According to the Seattle Times, Airforce One is scheduled to land in town late morning.  Obama is reportedly attending two lunches -- one downtown, and one at Real Networks' founder Rob Glaser's house in Madrona.  CHS Capitol Hill Seattle posts some additional speculation about a possible side trip up Capitol Hill. Maybe Airforce One will buzz the Space Needle, too! Regardless, traffic will no doubt be completely snarled all over…
