Neighborhood News and Local Blog Roundup
Space Needle by E Rose. Sure there are hundreds of photos of the Needle in our Flickr Pool,
but this one really captures the surrealism of the structure.
- West Seattle Blog has the "final, FINAL" numbers on usage of the Elliott Bay Water Taxi. Our West Seattle compatriots promise these aren't fake final numbers and that they are larger than the previous final/unofficial numbers.
- We've always wondered how they built the Space Needle and Vintage Seattle has given us the answer, posting some truly jaw-dropping photos of the construction of The Needle.
- We don't know whether to laugh loudly or shake our heads and cry about the latest local blog--Capitol Hillebrities. Like the egos of Capitol Hill hipsters aren't big enough on they're own. Still, it was only a matter of time before someone started taking party photos on The Hill....apparently that time has come.
- Our dear vegetarian and vegan readers may not want to click through this link or attend this event. PhinneyWood reports that Thanksgiving is coming early for a number of Woodland Park Zoo carnivores, as the the zoo's annual "Turkey Toss" is this Saturday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
- Speaking of Thanksgiving, Capitol Hill Seattle is preparing a list of local eateries open and serving Turkey Day orphans.
- The Beacon Hill blog has a gorgeous photo retrospective of Beacon Hill in autumn.
- Our friends at the Rainier Valley Post are living every neighborhood blogger's dream by interviewing Mayor Nickels on Live TV tonight. To this we say, give 'im hell RVP! He deserves it, and you know that better than most.
- Seattle City Light workers rescued a cat yesterday morning from a Magnolia light pole. The cat had been stuck on the pole since Friday and, just like a cat, refused to come down when called.
- Cap to the Hill introduce us to what they call the second best website on the internet, and dedicate their feature photobooth Tuesday to Seattlest's own Katelyn.
