After all, the Seattle P-I's got a story on the recent street violence, the Seattle Times has coverage of the war zone and the thug factor. And although three of the four incidents since June occurred after 10pm, it's easily worth the $500,000 the city will spend over the next four months to keep lunch hour safe in Westlake Park. We were there, and we've never felt more secure -- which was great because we couldn't find any bike racks in front of Westlake Mall and had to lock our bike to a trash can.

We can't remember the last time a news story brought us to tears. Others have gone missing--we've watched, we've hoped they'd be found but with an inevitable slight detachment buffered by distance and not knowing the people intimately. And yet like so many others across the country, we were glued to the Kims, we held our breath for every piece of news. They had to be found; a kind, good family that just went off the road one night? That can't end sadly, it just can't.
