Last night while having dinner at Friend A's house, the wife got a call from Friend B with whom she and A had gone snowshoeing on Friday. Friend B was calling because she had read the newspaper and discovered a story about an avalanche that happened on the trail they took.

A group of youths aged 12 to 16 and an adult were hiking near Lake 22, a popular trail off the Mountain Loop Highway east of Granite Falls, when the avalanche hit Friday afternoon, said spokeswoman Rebecca Hover with the Snohomish County Sheriff's Office.

Details are starting to leak out about the Carnation woman suspected of killing her parents, her brother and her wife, and their two kids Christmas Eve with the help of a boyfriend.

No. But that doesn't make this factoid from a political campaign article in today's any less disturbing:

On Greenlake Way between 50th St. and the putt-putt golf course, in that parking lot bordering the Lower Woodland Park fields, lives a King County Sheriff's car.

Another in a string of online sex stings recently caught ex King County Prosecutor's Office employee Lawrence Corrigan trying to meet up with a 13-year-old for sex. You asshole, Lawrence.

We're chuckling a little at the idea of Frank "The P-I Is Killing Me" Blethen, publisher of the Seattle Times, having to hand the P-I an award with his name on it for its series critical of disciplinary problems in the King County Sheriff's Office, "Conduct Unbecoming."

Washington Husky running back Michael Houston is off the team and, presumably, not going to get a pickup from Orange Cab anytime soon after some Saturday night hijinks involving a taxi, a McDonalds, and--it goes without saying--a strip club.

While "Kablowie" Zarqawi enjoys the sexual ministrations of 72 virgins, a Fort Lewis soldier is sitting in Thurston County Jail for allegedly wanting to sleep with just one.

Sorry, but is this not the awesomest story? It's not just the names, either, it's everything. Granted it's stretching Seattlest's area of jurisdiction a little, but we can't help ourselves.

At Seattlest, we read the candidate endorsements so you don't have to flip that far into your paper. In our thorough research, certain themes emerged. At the P-I, they wrote endorsements as if they were late for a meeting. For Seattle City Council--return all the incumbents, they say. Statewide Initiatives? Say no to everything! Port Commission? It's time for change!
