Parks and Rec braces for upcoming closures: Fate of Green Lake Community Center and Evans Pool unknown
Here at My Green Lake, we really appreciate it when tipsters get in touch with us with news and information from around the neighborhood – thank you! A couple of days ago, a note from Sheila really got our attention. Sheila wrote that she had heard, via a pool employee, that Evans Pool, located at the Green Lake Community Center, would soon be closing, due to Parks and Rec budget cuts. Yikes! We followed up on this tip last night (May 18, 2010) at the Green Lake Community Center Advisory Council meeting. Katie Gray, Seattle Parks and Recreation’s North Recreation…

Green Lake's Streetwise Gardener: Goth up your garden
In fashion, gray may be the new black, but in gardening, black remains white-hot. Blue was the Holy Grail of plant breeders for generations, with the truest blues represented by famously finicky delphiniums and Welsh poppies (Meconopsis species).

Turn arrow at 80th and Aurora causing traffic congestion
A note from Deirdre Cross: About two months ago the City of Seattle installed left-hand turn arrows where 80th Street intersects with Aurora Avenue. Many of you have probably noticed the activation of the new light has greatly compounded the traffic problem on 80th street going eastbound toward the lake. Its not uncommon for the light to back traffic up all the way past Linden to Fremont Avenue while people sitting at the light lay on their horns and scream expletives out their car windows. It’s really terrible for those of us in the vicinity. The city has explained to…
