Because of low clouds, the Blue Angels will be flying their “flat” program today and tomorrow.
You know what you don’t hear very often? Good news about Bremerton real estate: “prices expected to increase 44.7 percent from 2010 to 2014.”
It’s official, La Nina this way comes, and, possibly, a cold, wet, snowy winter. If floods are an issue where you live, start planning now. This fall’s work on the Howard Hanson Dam is timely. Senator Patty Murray got the dam repair monies tacked onto an appropriations bill, which I believe is the kind of thing Dino Rossi is against. Just FYI.
Sound Transit is scrambling to quell a ballooning projected deficit, says the Seattle Times. Seattle Transit Blog digs into the numbers.
Transit officials in Seattle consistently under-employ rider information aids, so it’s not surprising that light rail station signs are just now beginning to tell riders where the train is going. When an light rail train accident took three hours to clear this week, “certain details, such as the length of delays, didn’t make it to passengers.” This is a light rail line that serves SeaTac airport, and which in its shake-down year is not experiencing “rare” delays so much as regular ones. But somehow ST’s protocol for delays is to let passengers know last, if at all.
Let’s go to the neighborhoods for more details on the week. Belltownpeople says au revoir to the Cinerama while it undergoes a two-month 3D upgrade. CHS is looking for witnesses to a public beat-down that happened as the Capitol Hill Block Party was getting started. A Blue Angels sonic boom got the residents of the Central District talking. Beacon Hill was invaded by Spain. RVP has a photo of that light rail v. truck accident.
Queen Anne View has photos of the Nickerson Street road diet restriping. Magnolia residents were fighting off raccoon attacks. PhinnyWood had animal news too, but they’re all safely in Woodland Park Zoo. My Wallingford chatted with chef Maria Hines. U District Daily announced the developer of the new Husky stadium. WSB looked into plans for the West Seattle Golf Course’s new driving range.
Most everyone wears shorts in the summer! Well at least here in Texas everyone does because you never know what the weather is going to be like.
