Residents of the area know: the last few wet winters (and summers) have taken their toll on one of North Seattle's most heavily traveled arterials, and it's starting to show. more ›

News, tidbits and other items as written by the blogs of the neighborhoods they take place in. more ›

After a weekend like the one we just had, it's refreshing to get news that doesn't involve fire, fireworks, or fireworks-related injuries. It's even more awesome to read about a person who actually helped someone else. more ›

Have you ever noticed those Roman ruins at the south end of Green Lake? Here's a look at it while it was under construction. Before you ask: no, those are not gigantic speaker towers. more ›

• Monday evening, Seattle police discovered an unidentified human body that had drowned in Lake Washington and washed ashore the beach of Lake Cottage Park.
• Good news for ORCA card holders: Seattle Transit Blog says the Seattle Streetcar will be adding ORCA readers to stations starting next year.

• Seattle's famed musician Dave Matthews is never too good for a ride around Green Lake. He's one with the locals, and we like that.
• Powerball no more. That means, no bouncing balls spinning in a bubble, no cheesy ball reader wearing sequins, and no additional $12 million for the state of Washington.

• Over the weekend, trees and parking signs around Green Lake were victims of guerrilla knitting.
• Better late than never, downtown Burien welcomed the opening of the $193 million Burien Town Square development.
• The beloved Anacortes donkey named Pharlap is on pain killers after being roughed up pretty bad from a pit bull attack. Now neighbors in the Skagit County town are looking to place an all-out ban on pit bulls.

Seattle Bubble directed us to this Bloomberg article the Seattle Times picked up suggesting there might be a "lost generation" of U.S. home values. Baby boomers are downsizing and it's "unlikely that Generation X, born between 1965 and 1976 (or more derisively called 'baby busters'), will bid up home prices. They are only 44 million strong, not as wealthy and even more in debt from college loans." On the bright side, there's probably never been an easier time to buy an apartment near Green Lake. more ›

The intrepid Monica Cohn filed this report for us from the great northern hinterlands west of Greenlake. more ›

Third choice may be the charm for Gary Locke, the latest pick for Commerce Secretary. If Locke leaves, someone will have to pick up the slack on China, energy, and governmental relations. Ponder this as you walk around Greenlake, which is safe after a bomb scare this morning, PhinneyWood reports. Should you decide to be part of the solution, West Seattle blog has info on upcoming Vidaduct meetings, and MyBallard reports on plans for a car camp for homeless folks. more ›

"Bob at Greenlake" by Jeff Carlson more ›

Greenlake was alive with color yesterday. Striking red and gold leaves lit up the sky, bringing smiles to the faces of our fellow trail goers. Took a little longer than usual to make the trek, as we (and others) stopped often to take pictures. Unfortunately, we only had our phone with us, so these will have to do for now. more ›

• The White Center Blog wants you to remember this is your very last day to register to vote.
• If you live in West Seattle and have a pet door of some sort, you might want to keep a close eye on it. According to West Seattle Blog, burglars have been using cat doors to get inside homes.
• It seems as if those people always sitting outside the Starbucks on 15th Ave have saved their beloved outlet of the coffee giant--for now.

Just when you thought the Green Lake spike story was coming to an end, a dive crew has found 40 additional spikes at the bottom of the lake today. The discovery nearly doubles the number of spikes found, though only 15 of the spikes found today were sharpened. Somehow, that doesn't make us feel much better about the whole thing. more ›

Two more sharpened metal spikes—buried on the bottom of Green Lake—were found by divers today. After being painfully discovered by a boater and his foot on Sunday night, police divers have located 41 more spikes buried around the lake's boating center with the sharp side pointed up. more ›

Not satisfied to let British Columbia have all the foot-related gruesome fun, someone decided to place sharpened metal spikes at the bottom of Green Lake. More than three dozen machine-sharpened, two- to three-foot-long metal spikes were discovered Sunday night, placed on the lake bottom around the boating center. Hey, B.C. might have its severed feet, but Seattle could have impaled ones. Warning signs have been placed around the lake and the boating center notifying swimmers and boating patrons of the spikes. more ›

We love a good drink special, so imagine our delight when we came across a full-page ad in the Weekly for a big ol' happy hour next Wednesday. more ›
