First, one more pre-Thanksgiving food bank pitch. The West Seattle Food Bank is open till 3 pm today - one more hour - the White Center Food Bank (which serves part of southern WS too) is (THIS IS AN UPDATE) open till 7 pm. You’ve probably seen our [...]
A crash is blocking the turn lane from 35th SW northbound to The Bridge eastbound at Fauntleroy - doesn’t look like a serious injury situation, but traffic is backing up on 35th.
[...]Unless you’re capable of sprouting a 'stache by Saturday, it’s a little too late to participate in the Movember Mo-growing fundraiser to raise awareness and funding for prostate and testicular research. ("Mo" is slang for moustache). But! Stop by Twist this Saturday for the Seattle Movember Gala' [...]
Continuing our pre-Thanksgiving info roundups (yesterday, we published the restaurant list — and have made some additions/changes since then; thanks to everyone for collaborating!) - now, here’s the West Seattle grocery store list, with who’s open/who’s not on Thanksgiving:

Didn’t get to photograph the most spectacular intervals of fog this morning, but this view looking south from the top of Genesee Hill shows some of the lingering fog as it drifted over the water. Nothing extraordinary in the holiday weekend forecast - a break right now, but [...]

Afternoon papers had been declining for decades, [...]

A photographer working for King County took that photo of West Seattleites Dow Constantine and longtime partner Shirley Carlson in the front row at Daniels Recital Hall downtown, moments before he went to the stage to be sworn in [...]
The recent execution-style murder of Officer Timothy Brenton has justifiably shaken the residents of Seattle. The suspect, Christopher Monfort, is most certainly the culprit. His car was seen at the crime scene, and when discovered at his apartment a few days later, police claim to have found [...]
The verdict’s in for DeShawn “Cash Money” Clark, the teenage pimp linked to a gang called the Westside Street Mobb: Guilty. He’s the first person convicted under King County’s human-trafficking law.

It is a special pre-Thanksgiving edition of Drinking Liberally for the Seattle chapter tonight. Festivities take place at the Montlake Ale House, 2307 24th Avenue E. beginning about 8:00 pm. A few of us will show up earlier than that for dinner.
As you might imagine…we’ll [...]
When did liberals become such prudes? Isn’t it odd that Seattle, unquestionably a liberal city, had an 18 year moratorium on strip clubs that was only recently lifted? And that lap dance proximity became a ballot measure just a few years ago?
Now it seems some of Seattle’s priggishness has [...]
There was a time when the Seahawks were a measuring stick in the NFC. That time, however, was just [...]

"Ronald Reagan crime watch" by El Gregein, from our Flickr pool.
Well, we can’t be number one at everything. Washington, DC-based CQ Press has just released its list of the most crime-ridden cities, and Seattle didn’t even crack [...]
Obviously the subject of Mike Holmgren as Seattle GM continues to be brought up. I can't get away from it, from Steve Kelley to Ian Furness to several commenters on this site. So regardless of whether or not we'd all like it to be a dead issue, there is [...]
Guaranteed to make you want to stand in the middle of Walk-All-Ways, join hands with your fellow West Seattleites and sway gently (or not-so-gently depending on what you’ve been up to) while singing along … it’s “We Are The Junction” - as announced/explained by Feedback Lounge (WSB [...]
