Please Bear with Us During our Extended Vacation/Upgrade

We had a server snafu earlier this morning, which kiboshed our Neighborhood News roundup. Here's a summary version: that student who was shot to death while wearing a Nazi uniform was a UW German Studies major, even in this real estate market, someone still wants to kick the B&O out in favor of a 75-unit apartment complex, and Cliff Mass says probably no snow today, but watch out for tomorrow. Has your Zune started working again? Meanwhile, most of our secondary pages are still offline, and we're still experiencing some "server optimization" issues with commenting login times. If you have particular difficulties with anything, shoot us an email at tips (at) seattlest dot com. And Happy 2009!
