• Capitol Hill Seattle has composed a neighborhood wish list for the holidays, including such perfectly legitimate requests as a new pair of gloves and magic beans to turn the economy around for local businesses. Good luck...
• KEXP has yet ten more reasons (read: free mp3s to stream!) for you to buy their Live At KEXP: Vol. 4. The Hold Steady, even!
• Why does it always have to be a snowman? Why not a snow-fellow, or a snow-horse-mermaid? PhinneyWood's residents get way creative.

There doesn't appear to be enough snow in this photo to possibly finish the snowman these kids had in mind when they started, but you have to admire their ambition. We're sure you're probably getting tired of snow photos right about now, but this Seattlest is far away in snow-less Georgia at the moment, and we wish we could make the biggest snowman ever.

The second thing we'd do was turn on the tv and the radio and listen for our district's school closures. Great news, students of Seattle: this morning, your district has declared a Late Start, meaning you have a two-hour reprieve. Buses are running on their snow routes, so you might have to slip and slide your way a little bit further than usual. Be safe out there and if you have a chance to catch a glimpse of Mt. Rainier, she's looking stunning this morning. more ›
