Wazup in nearby neighborhoods?
The proposed new Seattle Public Schools attendance boundaries have got everybody talking: Wallingford, Phinneywood, Fremont, Eastlake, Laurelhurst, Pinehurst, Queen Anne, Magnolia, Ballard …
Candidates for Mayor, City Attorney, and City Council are doing the rounds: see them Tuesday in Wallingford. They’ve already made stops in Ballard, Eastlake, and Northgate, where Mallahan was a no-show.
New and expanded businesses: Avila Restaurant in Wallingford, Sasquatch Studios, Tara Books (a South Indian publishing co-op) and Ken’s Market on Phinney Ridge, The Washington Federal Savings and Loan in Ballard, Whole Foods in Magnolia.
Closing: The Fridge in Ballard.
Bargain alert: Free chicken wings (if you slap a Wing Dome temporary tattoo on your face…) at Greenwood’s Wing Dome, a free public performance of ”Super School” at the Greenwood Library, a free workshop to help parents support children in math at the Lake City Library, and Seattle Public Utilities is lending out free neighborhood drain cleaning supplies.
Crime watch: An employee is stabbed at The Matador Restaurant and Tequila Bar and a man threatens his neighbors with a gun in Ballard, a cat is killed in a hit-and-run accident in Phinney, a pit-bull owner allegedly stands by while his dogs attack other dogs at Magnuson Park, and a kid with gun shoots at cars in Lake City.
Of special interest to Green Lake: Green Lake “option school” AS #1′s P.E. Teacher wins an award and Northeast library patrons have headed back to their own branch.
Kinda crazy: An inert hand grenade is found in Wallingford and a car snaps off a fire hydrant in Greenwood.
