Capitol Hill Seattle is asking for your help in making a "Collective Hill Playlist" filled with songs about or mentioning Capitol Hill. Do you have any songs for the list? Sorry, but "Posse on Broadway" has already been mentioned.
If you're arachnophobic, we'd recommend not reading this little item. A Ballard family that found a Black Widow spider in a bunch of grapes from their neighborhood Fred Meyer, has donated the spider to the Woodland Park Zoo's Bug World.
Local blogs are still aflutter about an anonymous poem about Snowmageddon 2008, which could be the first local viral email of '09. Both the Big Blog and The Rainier Valley Post talked about the snow poem.
West Seattle Blog says that UPS has no more back-logged packages for Seattle-area customers. They also say, sorry if you paid up your nose for overnight packaging...since it was caused by weather and not UPS, there's no refund in your future.
The Seattle Transit Blog talks about the hopeful similarities between the Embarcadero Freeway in San Francisco and the Viaduct.
Vintage Seattle just may have posted our favorite old postcard yet on their site: "Third Ave at Night, Seattle," from 1909. 100 years may have passed, but Seattle still looked beautiful and slightly eerie in the moonlight back then.
