Jon Berkedal wrote in the Wallyhood Forums: Several cars in our neighborhood (43rd and Latona) have had screws in their tires. One tire had the shaft of the screw driver in it. Some time ago, Wallingford in general had a rash of similar events. Additionally, one family has had their Honda stolen three times in the last year. Not sure what is going on here or why, or what can be done short of installation of security cameras. Just thought you…

Quick reminder that Seattle Night Out is coming up not this Tuesday, but the following Tuesday, August 5th. As in past years, streets across the neighborhood and the city will be blocked off, card tables and lawn chairs will be hauled out front and folks who have recognized each other as only "that guy with the stubby legged dog" and "that lady that looks like she's into cosplay" will get tipsy, eat sausages, learn each others names, and share recipes for massaged…
(Yesterday, we ran a post from a supporter of Prop 1, the ballot measure that would replace the expiring Parks Levy to create funding for maintaining Seattle parks. Toni Long replied with this counterpoint, arguing against the measure. Ballots are due August 5th.) Prop. 1 permanently establishes a Metropolitan Park District for Seattle. I worked for Seattle Parks in the 1980s and polled some of my former maintenance and planning colleagues (all retired within the past couple years). All recommend voting no, as does…
(Wallyhood reader Antoinette Angulo offers this explanation and endorsement of Prop 1. Ballots due by August 5th.) What is Prop 1? Proposition 1 will create a stable revenue source that will direct dedicated funds to support the maintenance, upkeep and operations of our more than 6,000 acres of City parklands spread over more than 450 separate parks, our 26 community centers, 185 athletic fields and more than 120 playgrounds. Prop 1 would create a park district, which would levy $.33 per $1,000…

Joanne Factor wrote to let us know about a film followed by a panel discussion this coming Tuesday, July 29th at Mosaic Cofeehous (4401 2nd Ave NE): A female solider in combat zones is more likely to be raped by a fellow soldier than killed by enemy fire. That was a "secret" nobody was talking about in public. Until this film came out. The Invisible War is a groundbreaking investigative documentary about one of America’s most shameful and (formerly) best kept…
