In response to this morning's earthquake, the Seattle Department of Transportation is inspecting the area's elevated structures for damage
The department has already examined the Ballard, Fremont, University and Spokane Street bridges and has found no indications of damage from the earthquake.
The inspections will continue with assessments of the Magnolia, Emerson Street and Jose Rizal bridges, the 15th Avenue Northwest Interchange and the Spokane Street Viaduct.
Given the size of the earthquake, a 4.5 magnitude quake, the department is examining a key number o
Salmon Bay Events, organizers of next month's Northwest Flower and Garden Show taking place at the Washington State Convention and Trade Center, has announced this will be the event's last year.
The event has taken place for more than two decades, and will make one last spectacular run before closing its doors forever.
"My wife Alice and I have decided that this year's event will be our last as organizers and we are pulling out all of the stops to make it the best on record.
"Memphis," produced by Majestic Bay Theater owner and local entrepreneur Ken Alhadeff, a play about the "birth of rock 'n' roll," is playing at the 5th Avenue Theatre now through Feb. 15.
A description of the plot on the theater's Web site reads: "We’re talkin’ downtown, down-home Memphis of the 1950s. Rock 'n' roll is taking over the airways, Elvis is a wannabe, and a downright demented deejay named Huey is spinning the music of black and white America together for the first time. From the author of I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change and Over the River and Through the Woods, and the composer-keyboardist of Bon Jovi, comes a rafter-rattling musical that immortalizes the man who gave rock its original roll.
The show stars West Seattle native Chad Kimball, who plays as Huey Calhoun, a young Memphis radio jock who is depicted as integral to the dawn of a new musical genre.
Beginning in February, Madison Middle School students will participate in an after school prevention program that millions of youth are involved in nationwide.
Students Against Destructive Decisions (SADD) is the premier youth-based education and prevention organization in America and maintains the ability to play a leading role in effective, evidence-based prevention programming.
The phone rang at a little after six this morning. My husband grumbled and started to complain as we heard a voice trickle into the bedroom. I reminded him, "Sweetie, she's probably on the East Coast, awake, and ready to go."
Sure enough, she was.
My new-found friend is taking a horticultural course and wanted to get one of my miniature garden kits as a project for her final for the class. It was wonderful talking to her. We laughed and joked like old friends.
The Whole Foods Project at the new Fauntleroy Place has been delayed to open in October 2010, instead of early that same year.
The owners will sell much of the property, and that sale will delay the project. A new developer will be chosen to finish the planned 170-unit development at the corner of Fauntleroy Way Southwest and Southwest Alaska Street.
Also included in the project; 61,000 square feet of retail, four floors of underground parking and five stories of residential units (apartments).
Current developers of the project BlueStar Management/Development announced measures in Decemeber to reduce the total cost of the $65 million project.
At that time, BluStar spokseman Eric Radovich said the decision to conduct "value engineering" was made after the first phase of the project was completed at the end of November.
It's unclear how the sale will effect these plans, but it would have included rebidding on some existing materials and some structural redesign work.

Who would have thought that twigs could have so much value to some people? I have a twig collection. My husband calls it an addiction. But, you never know when you may need a twig- really, I'm serious! (You're laughing aren't you?)
I had been in business for a couple of years, when I got this email from a concerned wife of a railroad gardener. (Railroad gardening is the grandfather of mini gardening, so to speak.) She was looking for mini logs for her husband's model train layout, and wondered if I had any for sale.
