SDOT is offering a Delridge Rapid Ride H Line Online Survey, running from March 13-31 on the proposed RapidRide H Line.

King County Metro and SDOT are collaborating to convert the 120 bus line into a new rapid ride line in 2020. The webpage links to a description of the Delridge Corridor, opportunities and constraints, and tradeoffs.

SDOT has listed two options, which can be viewed here.

Option 1

Speaker equipment taken while wife asleep on couch

Police are investigating after a burglary occurred at a home located on 27th Avenue Northwest on March 3. The complainant told police that he left his home that night and locked his front door. When he returned later that night he found the door open. He found his bedroom door open and a carrying case containing an electric power supply for his Bose speakers gone. The total value of the loss was $1,300. He also discovered a clear cap cover for a hypodermic needle in his bedroom. The complainant’s wife was asleep on the couch during the incident. Police did not find any sign of forced entry. They were unable to recover any fingerprints from the scene.

We did it! This week, Chris and I finally finished all seven books of the Harry Potter series. For the last six months or so we’ve been immersed, listening to the audiobooks during car rides and at the breakfast table, and watching the films. Now that it’s over, I feel the same confluence of emotions that I felt after closing the cover of last book for the first time. On the one hand, deflation. What in the world do I read after Harry Potter? On the other hand, reverberation. A good story sticks with you, but a great story is a world you want to continue exploring—in all directions, at all depths—long after the last word was read. In other words, a great story inspires fandom, and in that regard, Harry Potter is one of the greatest.

Please join us for a work party at Ballard Corners Park (17th Ave NW & NW 63rd Street) on Saturday, April 8th from 9am-2pm, rain or shine.

We'll be spreading wood chips and getting the park ready for spring. Some tools and refreshments will be provided. If you have your own gloves and tools please bring them. Any questions, please contact Gabriella: gabriella@seanet.com or (206) 782-3238. We're looking forward to seeing you there!

A game of Russian roulette led to the death of a Donovan Spann, 18, in White Center Friday night, March 10 and now a 17-year-old Burien boy is in jail.

Investigators say he shot and killed his best friend.

King County sheriff’s deputies said the 17-year-old was house-sitting for a man who gave him the gun to defend the property from burglars.

The homeowner, George Firis, said he thought he could trust the boy to not treat his gun like a toy.

Firis said he didn’t find out about the shooting until he got out of the hospital last weekend. Before the shooting on Friday, Firis said he admitted himself to a hospital to treat an alcohol addiction.

Deputies said they got a call to 911 Friday evening saying the 18-year-old had been shot.
