Really, this is not Appalachia and you are supposed to leave space for a sidewalk

These folks on 125th don’t seem to understand that they are parking on the public right of way in an area that is legally reserved for pedestrians and not for cars. You can’t parallel park two cars deep. If you encounter this, you can phone parking enforcement at 206-625-5011.

Almost done

Sy Iffert and his family own a significant amount of commercial real estate in Pinehurst including the building that houses Great Dog and Atrium Square. For a number of years, they have been planning the redevelopment of the property where Pinehurst Way and Roosevelt Way meet. The project is an office building and it is nearly open.

Two weekend incidents near Pinehurst Playfield

Over the weekend, there were two incidents that occurred near Pinehurst Playfield:

Saturday evening: A park neighbor reports that on Saturday evening, September 12th,

two guys in a pickup came by my house…and asked if I’d seen three black males, wearing soccer shirts. I said no and they asked that if I did, please call the police as they had just mugged someone. They sped off, still looking for the muggers, before I could ask any more questions, but the passenger looked kind of beat up and right after that I noticed a police car checking out the area around the park.

I contacted Seattle Police to learn more about the incident. However, there were no reports of a robbery or mugging. There was an officer in the area at the time but he was on a traffic stop. This is another reminder to all of us that if you witness events that cause you concern such as the one described here, please call 911.

Early Sunday: At 5:30 am on Sunday, September 13th, a neighbor called 911 to report 10 to 15 shots fired near 12th Ave NE and NE 120th Street. Additional 911 calls were made from neighbors who lived south of that location and police believe the shooters may have been firing from a car. Due to some concern by officers that the incident might have been related to an earlier incident in Lake City that morning, the response was increased. (I am pretty sure I heard a helicopter.) However, no suspects or victims were located. UPDATE: A few commenters have said that they are pretty sure that the sounds were fireworks and not gunshots. I am trying to confirm whether SPD found evidence of what caused the sounds.
