Early Sunday evening, KING5-TV reports, two women had taken four dogs out for a walk near the train tracks (not to be confused with light rail track) just outside of Seattle, when one dog ran off and onto the train tracks just as a Chicago-bound Amtrak train was approaching. Moments later, the eastbound train struck and killed the dog and injured one of the women who raced after it. The injured woman was brought onboard the train and taken to the Edmonds Station, where paramedics whisked her away to Harborview.

• Dog people, stop reading and just look at these cute puppies instead. Cat people, keep reading. PhinneyWood blog reports that Greenwood's cat-loving-adoption organization PAWS celebrates the adoption of it 10,000th kitty.
• Still wringing out their clothes, photos and soggy possessions, the residents of the recently flooded Wedgwood neighborhood want the city to foot the bill for all the damages the broken water main caused.

• CHS is celebrating the release of a new infographic (!!) showing the busiest pedestrian areas of downtown, and wishing we had the same kind of map for the Hill.

Capitol Hill Seattle was on fire today, with a Google-mapped report on the dog cops chased around Cal Anderson for an unreasonably long time and a poll on who should be the face on Capitol Hill's dollar bill. (Maybe we suggest Editor MvB's visage?) The Southlake enthused about The Bachelor's visit to Seattle, including five points of interest and--yes--a Google map of the episode's highlights. Cascade Bicycle and MyBallard want to talk about the Burke-Gilman's missing link. Matthew, Laurie and Iris over at Roots And Grubs were let down by their Trader Joes tortillas, but shared how they saved dinner. It sounds scrumptious!

Seattlest gathered the top economic writers in the country and asked them to discuss the ramifications of the $819 billion economic recovery plan.

Seattlest is broadening our horizons--to the runways. Not Boeing, couture. Yes, we're taking a good long look at Seattle's fashion community. No, we do have one. Srsly. And Cameron Levin is going to write about the goings-on for us. Here's her inaugural post, which as it happens is about one of the more unusual fashion events in Seattle.

Seattlest started the New Year with a strong dose of reality. Hot Mama's, supposedly the best pizza on Cap Hill, doesn't cut it for this eater. Crust soggy, toppings bland.

Warning: First-person singular follows.

• A revised list of possible new jail sites in Seattle was released yesterday. Georgetown was celebrating that they were no longer on the list, while Magnolia/InterBay and West Seattle were lamenting that they still were.
• The Central District News reports that Washington Hall on 14th Avenue South has passed the first hurdle to being recognized as a historic landmark.
• Keep your eyes peeled for some urban hikers today. About 20 members of The Mountaineers are hiking between branches of the Seattle Public Library. Unlike in the mid-'90s, you might actually be able to tell the difference between an urban hiker and average Seattleite on the street now.

A couple weeks ago, we posted this photo which we'd snapped down by the market. Then Andrew Sullivan linked to it and then England for Obama linked to it. Then we started getting emails from supermodels and George Clooney. Eventually, the limelight dimmed, the girls found another Seattle blog to dance for, and we fell into a deep depression.

This fall we are combining our love of the football and our dream of learning to cook. On Sunday morning, following a trip to a local farmer’s market/major supermarket chain, we will be preparing a meal from the city of the Seahawks opponent. Then at halftime we will throw our badly burned hands in the air and make hot dogs.

Seventeen teams showed up at the Old Pequliar last night to see if our voice would give out. We managed to get through the evening without having a Peter Brady moment, but we're grateful to those of you who were willing to step up to the mic at a moment's notice.
