Neighborhood News Roundup
Trains by Seattlest Flickr Contributor mraaronmorris
- My Ballard has lots of tasty news, reporting on Paseo's first day in a new location, Rachael Ray shooting an episode of Rachael's Travels at Volterra, and lots of fat salmon going through the Locks.
- Phinneywood reports and shares photos of an adorable knit crosswalk pedestrian flag that's popped up in Greenwood. We are all for guerrilla knitting projects, especially those that benefit your community, so we say hooray!
- The Belltowner shares, in two posts that should have been linked to each other as proof, how tourists should stay out of Belltown and on the homecoming of Daniel Stoy (an out-of-towner who was beaten unconscious on his visit to Belltown).
- The West Seattle Blog asks its readers about train noises and lets you know, if you're angry, there is a group for you. We live miles away from the train tracks and hear what we fondly call the ghost trains noon and night, we imagine you're hearing the same trains and are even further away, West Seattle, so what's the problem?

No, actually, these are the trains that run on the Port tracks on Harbor Island (and the northeast edge of West Seattle), within a mile of the people who are concerned. And they make a major point of saying yes, they knew the train tracks were there, but something has increased this summer, and they can't figure out what it is, but they want to know (BNSF apparently is not being very cooperative) and they want to know if there are some restrictions that can be placed (like airports in urban areas that can't have takeoffs during hours x and x, and so on). -- TR @ WSB
