- West Seattle's Alki beachgoers have suspected that an algae bloom is to blame for the "scungy yellow stuff" mucking-up the local waters. Until an official report is in, our toes are staying on land.
- The hiphop concert series Rock the Bells opted out of making a repeat Washington stop during the 2009 tour.

- Love 'em or hate 'em, two big public transportation projects have finished (!!) and are open today, including the $10.5 million Redmond Park-and-Ride Garage and the new route for exiting Bremerton ferry traffic through the 1,000-foot-long, $54-million Bremerton Tunnel.
- The Central District ended their peaceful, gun-violence-free streak, after two shots were fired last night at a 25-year-old male and teen female sitting outside the Garfield Community Center.

Tuesdays are Muppet Days
