Not sure if it's one last push or what, but our Mason Kelley reports he saw coach Lorenzo Romar and assistant Paul Fortier in the Kentwood High stands last night.
Obviously they were there watching star basketball player Josh Smith, who is playing football this season.
The early signing period begins [...]
Last night, we reported on another holdup at Tervo’s Mini-Mart in The Triangle. Today, thanks to a Twitter tip, we learned there was a second convenience-store robbery in West Seattle last night - Delridge Deli Mart (map) also was held up. Official police information may be [...]
One day after both the memorial for murdered Seattle Police Officer Tim Brenton and the shooting of a man who investigators say they believe is linked to the case, SPD is planning a media briefing at any moment. KING5 is working on streaming it live - watch this link. [...]
I’m still deciding whether I want to spend a ridiculous amount of time “previewing” the upcoming Pixies concerts at the Paramount next week. I mean, what hasn’t been said? What youtube videos haven’t you already watched? What Black Francis lyrics haven’t you already dissected? I’m stoked, ok? [...]
West Seattle Hi-Yu may be a summer festival, but its volunteers don’t take a break in winter - it’s always time to look ahead to next year, including raising money with the holiday ornament sale. Hi-Yu vice president Deena Mahn shares the photo and info: “West Seattle [...]
West Seattle High School’s varsity football team is on the road tonight to play Ferndale at Bellingham’s Civic Stadium. Meantime, Chief Sealth High School played last night at Memorial Stadium downtown, in a game with multiple weather delays (lightning understandably clears the field) - read on for our [...]

Just confirmed with Lt. Ron Smith at the Southwest Precinct, per a tip we got earlier: Tervo’s Mini-Mart on Fauntleroy Way in The Triangle was robbed again tonight, for the second time in two weeks. Lt. Smith says the description was the same as the robbers who [...]
New information from King County tonight, after the county’s announcement this afternoon — saying two local drugstores would be offering H1N1 vaccine to some high-risk people — conflicted with what WSBers were told when they called those stores. We inquired immediately with the King County Public Health staffers who sent [...]
Just got this note from Steph. There could be a tiny chance it’s legit, but more likely just a particularly callous scam to try to wrangle your credit-card info:
I got a call a few minutes ago from a guy asking for a donation to the Seattle Officers group that will [...]
Coach Lorenzo Romar gave the Huskies the day off Thursday so it's not surprising he was preaching "energy, energy" at today's practice inside Harshman gym.
The players responded during the early portion of practice that was open to the media.
Senior co-captain Quincy Pondexter also kept the energy high barking: "every practice" [...]
Amid all the other major news … we’ve had so many rounds of hail/sleet it’s been hard to keep track. WSB contributing photojournalist Christopher Boffoli got that photo a few hours ago - and before we could publish it, the Tukwila and vote-count stories pushed it to the [...]
The daily results count is out - and Mike McGinn’s lead over Joe Mallahan in the mayor’s race has widened to more than 1200 votes, more than double what it was a day earlier. 8:10 PM UPDATE: King County released a second round of results this evening - now [...]

The emotional, inspiring, and at times humorous memorial service for Seattle Police Officer Tim Brenton has just ended at KeyArena. We have photos from inside courtesy of The Seattle Times, this time not because of our partnership with them but because [...]

8:36 PM NOTE: Just received an update from the county - published here - superseding all the earlier stuff here.
3:10 PM NOTE: As pointed out in comments — also in an e-mail and also in a school mailing list we’re on — there appears to be a discrepancy between [...]

It's never too soon to start planning for a major bike ride next year.
Although cross-country bike travel isn't in the cards for me, I started checking into self-contained or fully supported coast-to-coast bike tours that are offered in 2010.

It’s jobs and wages, not growth in the GDP that will really spur the housing recovery, Zillow’s Spencer Rascoff told Forbes. Spencer regularly participates in panel discussions on Forbes.com. Other participants include Donald Trump, Jr., Michael Feder of Radar Logic and Pat Lashinsky of ZipRealty.
This time, the discussion [...]
Dejan Kovacevic link, as mentioned in the comments:
Jack Wilson, the Pirates' shortstop most of this decade, is discussing a multiyear extension with Seattle that would keep him from becoming a free agent.
The Mariners are believed to have offered a two-year contract worth more than the two-year offer the Pirates' [...]
If you commute by bus, you know how frustrating things were during last year’s snow woes - from stuck buses, to buses that never came at all, to a shortage of route-specific, time-specific information directly from Metro - which led to bus riders sharing firsthand information here [...]
Had a chance to talk to walk-on Brendan Sherrer this week.
Sherrer is the only one - so far - to make the team after Washington held a tryout for 8-10 players. Another tryout Rudy Sharar, a junior guard from Bainbridge Island, has been working out with the team, however, coach [...]
This morning I got wind of a random Monday night Seattle show happening at the Comet on Nov 9th. Monday night is not normally an evening I even humor for going out but something about this band struck me as worth the Tuesday-Thursday pains that will inevitably [...]

In what has been urged as a must-have by real estate professionals and builders, the $8000 tax credit for first-time home buyers (previously due to expire Nov. 30), has been extended through April 30, 2010, according to the Associated Press. Not only has it been extended, but [...]
You can officially cross J.J. Hardy off the list of possible options this winter. He was traded to the Minnesota Twins for Carlos Gomez.
Heck of a move for the Twins.

Carlos Gomez is the return. More later.

Later: Hardy is a guy that we'd all been hoping that the Mariners would make a play on this offseason to address the shortstop position, so it's a bit of a shame that he's been taken off the table so early and' [...]

Well, shit. The new and improved "optimist" version of me didn't work out. So fuck it. I'm back to being my old pessimist self. Even though I'm a pessimist, I'm thinking this is the game the Seahawks finally somewhat get back on track. Locklear might be back, Trufant has had [...]
To add something to Dave’s post on why the M’s approach this off-season will look different as involves different trade-offs, there’s something we should briefly touch on:
What just happened with the team is not common or easy. If we remember back to the start of this off-season, it’s obvious: [...]
So far we’ve gotten texts about a couple of “huge puddles” that are causing some commute trouble, including one at West Marginal Way/Highland Park Way, and also where Delridge meets The Bridge - given the overnight downpour, certainly there are others, so give yourself extra time when you head out.

I’m sure you’ve noticed by now that Google is celebrating the 40th anniversary of Sesame Street this week. A few days ago, Big Bird graced the famous search engine’s page. Next up was the Cookie Monster!! (Who doesn’t love cookies?). Today, I see Bert and Ernie smiling out at me. [...]
The architects working on the Admiral Safeway redevelopment project have made one big change since the project’s most recent Southwest Design Review Board session two weeks ago - one that answers repeatedly voiced criticism from citizen commenters as well as board members: They’ve added an entrance along [...]
Tonight’s ferocious weather offers another chance for everyone to button up all that readiness in case of winter stormtastrophes — and gives us an excuse to remind you of the city’s Landslide Information Meeting this Saturday morning in West Seattle - 10 am at South Seattle Community College [...]

C. Trent Rosecrans, longtime sports writer in Cincinnati, passed along this story, where he basically just says that he talked to Brian Goldberg, Griffey’s agent, and he expects an announcement in a week or so.

Baseball players can make contributions in a number of different ways, the most obvious and talked-about of which is how they do at the plate. Defense, position, and baserunning tend to be brushed off as secondary concerns. What follows are the top and bottom 15 in the sum of these [...]
Washington has sold about 7,200 tickets for each of the three games for the Athletes in Action tournament at Edmundson Pavilion that includes UW's regular-season opener against Wright State.
About 2,800 tickets remain.
