We can vouch for this because we've been IMing with a friend of ours who is on the Amtrak Cascades train to Portland, and other than getting false disconnection notices, it's working like a charm. We filled him on the Seattle Metblogs story about Seattle atheists buying ads on Metro. That seemed like a good use of WiFi. Tell Portland! The atheists are coming!

Neighborhood News and Local Blog Round-Up
- The B-Town blog's seventeen-year-old film critic loves racist grandpa Clint Eastwood. In other Burien child labor news, the blog has also taken on a fifteen-year-old intern.
- If someone broke into your car and stole your things sometime before December 11th, MetBlogs has the info on how to stop by a police station and claim that which has been ganked.
- Phinneywood reports that the 12,000 tons (24,000,000 lbs!) of sand spread during Snowmaggedon will be all cleaned up a week from today. As always, when it comes to city services, we'll believe when we see it.
Happy Blogsgiving, Everybody!
Big ups to everyone who made it out to celebrate Blogsgiving last night. Cupcakes were devoured, pumpkin drinks were guzzled, hand turkeys were drawn, and normally antisocial bloggers actually mingled with one another (thanks to the aforementioned pumpkin drinks). With the help of you fine people, we raised nearly $400 for Northwest Harvest, along with a bushel and a peck of non-perishable food items. Many thanks to Grey Gallery for hosting, as well as our partners in crime, Seattle Metblogs, Capitol Hill Seattle, and Neighborlogs. Let's do it again next year!

Seattlest Abbey is still recovering from a waterlogged Radiohead show, so we apologize for your morning news delay. We're going to let her sleep in, even if we're still jealous we didn't get to go. Happy morning news! ~Your Editor

Below are ten people. Please explain why they are (in)famous or (un)important in Seattle.more ›
