But Cunningham is not just any campus building. Constructed for the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition, it is celebrating its centennial next year. It was the site of the state's first Suffragette activity and today is the only designated "women's building" in the state.

and it's going to be moved

i prefer "ladies' building" but ok

There's new hope, Crocodile Cafe mourners: Marcus and Sheila Charles have applied for the liquor license attached to the beloved club, and the approval process is under way.

The Croc, at Second Avenue and Blanchard Street in Belltown, closed suddenly in December. It was Seattle's best and most famous rock club. Marcus Charles owns the Bad Juju, a bar on the same block.

welcome back? they gotta change the layout. and yeah maybe most famous but best? hell no

Another 400-foot residential tower has been proposed in Seattle's Belltown neighborhood.

This one, on Fourth Avenue between Lenora and Blanchard streets, may feature something different: In what its backers call a "cultural response" to its next-door neighbor, the restored Cinerama Theatre, the project would include a "large-scale outdoor projection movie theater" on the roof.

What a great photo! I work at the Seattle Art Museum, and we’ll be opening a Pacific Coast Salish Art show in October that features a number of Curtis’ images. If you enjoy this one, you should really come check it out!

also, i have decided that at some point during the winter, i am going to the goldmyer hot springs http://www.goldmyer.org/

it will be a good motivation to get outdoors.

...a world with a disco ball that spun lights throughout the huge performance hall. When we came out of the hall into the rain, I felt I was almost staggering, drunk with beauty. And then I heard the sound of a tuba. A man in a sodden, red and white Cat-in-the-Hat hat was husking in the rain. He was terrible. Couldn't even recognize the tune. I put my change in his bucket, next to the dollar already there. He stopped to say thank you and played on.

NICE

4 those of you who don't know, that's our front yard. notice how nicely trimmed it is.

thank you, waste management:

Starting March 30, 2009, Seattle will add new recycling services, including:

*Weekly food and yard wast collection for all households.
*Subscribers will be able to put leftover meat and dairy in their carts.
*Glass bottles and jars will go in your recycling cart - no more sorting into a separate container!
*More plastics will be recycled, including cups and take-out containers.
*Special curbside electronics and used motor oil collection.
*New low-emission garbage and recycling trucks will dramatically reduce key pollutants in neighborhoods.

(about a year ago wm implemented a program to allow non-meat and non-dairy food waste and food-soiled paper in the yard waste bin. we hardly have any garbage now. with these new services, plus the banning of styrofoam containers which will go into effect in january, we could consider getting rid of the garbage can entirely.)

!!!

what would still need to be thrown away? some plastic?

can't recycle or compost garbage from the bathroom, and yeah some plastic probably. definitely we can downgrade to the smallest size garbage can. but we could do that already if somebody got around to calling.

somebody = me

Blue Duwamish

Earlier this week, the recently installed artwork on the Link light rail elevated guideway over the Duwamish River was turned on. The artwork is a series of steel "ribs" that include clear plastic tubes filled with blue LEDs (light-emitting-diode) lights. The lights will turn on just before a light rail train crosses the Duwamish, and turn off soon after it passes. The Blue Duwamish artists are Dan Corson and Norie Sato. (photo by Dan Corson)
