Seattle Graffiti by Seattlest Flickr photographer Grundlepuck
- Capitol Hill Seattle has found the answer to the "graffiti problem"--passive aggressive semi-anonymous notes. Because passive aggressiveness has worked so well at solving everything else in Seattle.
- If you like mojitos as much as we do, you might be tempted by this Belltowner post. Apparently, the failed Mojito Cafe is selling their big neon sign on Craigslist.
- Lights & Sirens brings us the sad and disturbing story of a Tacoma woman who is reportedly suing the city of Tacoma, Pierce County, and a retired Tacoma police officer, after videos of her sexual abuse were found in the disgraced officer's private collection. The officer, who illegally kept the video of her abuse, has recently been sent to jail for first-degree child rape.
- And lastly, The Slog posted the single most disturbing video you will see from the Olympics. If you care about your breakfast or your elbows, we'd recommend not watching it.

i don't really think there's anything passive aggressive about the anti-graffiti note. seems to make a pretty direct request/plea. and i guess it's semi-anonymous only in the sense that, what, she didn't leave her phone number?
