Neighborhood News and Local Blog Roundup
We share the same sentiment as this bumper sticker..."I Like It Here In Washington."

- If you haven't figured out by our continuous posting of Seattle Municipal Archive Photos and links to Vintage Seattle, we have an affinity for all things, well, vintage Seattle, as it were. So we were thrilled to see that the Central District News has started a feature called "CD Rewind," which takes a look into the CD's past. The first edition shows what 23rd and Madison looked like in 1957.
- We also really like alliteration...but Beacon Hill Blog may have taken it a little too far with this one.
- We had no idea there was such a job as seal sitter, but apparently there is and seal sitters are attentively watching West Seattle beaches.
- On Friday we told you to look out for some urban hikers trekking their way between public library branches. Today the Fremont Voice has some photos of the souls that made the Friday hike.
- Phinneywood was reporting both mysterious and delicious neighborhood news this weekend. First, strange street performers intrigued residents this weekend. And in delicious news, Gainsbourg opened this weekend--a new restaurant dedicated to French cuisine and inspired by the one, the only, the très French: Serge Gainsbourg.
- My Ballard has photos from this weekend's Yulefest 2008 at the Nordic Heritage Museum. Like most things NMH related, clogging and herring were involved.
- If you're not a mechanic and you see something suspicious under the hood of your BMW, you should probably assume it's something that belongs in the car and makes it run, rather than a bomb like some genius did on Capitol Hill yesterday.
