What is going on down there? Yesterday, two teens--aged 17 and 19--were rushed to Harborview with gunshot wounds after a meet-up in Federal Way's Alderdale Park turned violent.

According to the SPD, the gunshots "might have taken place during a drug deal"; we're just relieved the word "gang" wasn't tossed in, after the uptick in gang-related violence this season. more ›

Seattlest just got back from a really long walk.

It's a red Blackberry Pearl with our picture, name and phone number on the screen. We posted something on Craigslist, but figured we'd ask you, fair readers: is there a lost and found for the world? Did anyone find our cell phone? more ›
