We got our first link to WalkScore in the email a week ago and the idea of a mapping site that scored the walkability of neighborhoods sounded interesting, but when we tried to visit the site we found that it didn't work in Firefox.

As she suggests, you definitely need to see this photo on black. You also need to see this photo. You should also check out the Jose P. Rizal Bridge. Built in 1912 and dedicated in 1981, it is one of our prettiest bridges. Thanks for sharing, Rachel!

What a great way to close out the summer: Beer, fried food on stick, irritatingly large crowds, great music, and a slight chance of rain (remember last year?). Seattlest loves us some Bumbershoot though, and we wouldn't let some pesky weather ruin our fun. This year looks to be a good one. A couple things we are digging right off the bat are the addition of good bands on the outdoor stages and ditching the Friday festivities before the weekend (we never went on that day anyway).

Seattlest has been bringing you 8 or 10 fresh postings a day for a while now, and you readers keep coming back for more. Bless your tiny hearts, readers. We've always believed that if 10 of something is a good thing, then 12, 20, a zillion is better. Beers, mainly, but blog posts too. The Seattlest contributors and editors are already at the outside of our puny little capabilities, though, so upgrading Seattlest to a zillion post a day behemoth entails adding contributors.

There was a great editorial in the P-I over the weekend in which the writer Daniel Jack Chasan said (and this is Seattlest’s Paraphrase): The Sound is a mess. The Sound was a mess in the 80’s and we said we’d fix it and we never wanted to foot the bill so the Sound is mess now and we’re saying we’ll fix it and we won’t foot the bill. That was the gist of it, but it’s worth going to read for yourself if you haven’t.

If it's the first (or second) Tuesday in November, it must be Election Day.

If you have an anklebiter, we think the absolute best place to be during the Halloween season is on the Ghost Train in Stanley Park in Vancouver. It’s well worth the journey north as the Mortal Coil Performance Society has transformed this quaint kiddie train ride into a spooky, colorful, and often funny journey into the Mexican Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead).
