Lights & Sirens reports the real way to get folks to turn in felons is to offer them free gasoline. Last month, the Tacoma Crime Stoppers began a gas card giveaway to reward tipsters who provided information about the county's most wanted felons. In less than a month, 14 of Tacoma's 50 most wanted felons have been arrested.

The Rainier Valley Post wants to let all you garage sale and junking fans know that Mount Baker is hosting a Mount Baker Community Center Saturday morning to get a map of the houses that will be participating. Hopefully one of you finds some great Antiques Roadshow-worthy trinket.
A few local blogs are already posting photos from last night's National Night Out Event. Check out My Ballard, B-Town Blog, West Seattle Blog and Capitol Hill Seattle to see a hyper-local version of (not-so) hipster party pics.
