We can’t damn the kids, so we must damn the house. Here are some local options:

All Together Skate Park is open for fun behind Evo, replacing the erstwhile innerspace. It has camps and open skate times. Green Lake Community Center winter basketball gets on track November 30^th for all ages- our son has been there for many years. Mike McGinn is even a coach! Well, McGinn is at Bitterlake, but still, it’s pretty cool that we get the awesome Ernie Chatters and get to play against McGinn’s team. Select a category and then filter to “Green Lake Community…

Not D.B. Cooper, just Cooper The Cat. We typically don’t do this on the front page of Wallyhood (see Forums / Lost and Found on the menu up above), but we imagine the cat is not loving the weather and the picture is adorbs, so we figured to heck with journalistic standards and pride (sort of a daily ritual for us.) Anyhow, Elizabeth writes:

Cooper is an incredibly friendly and curious guy, who likes to climb into open sheds and garages.  He also wiggles out of every kind of collar, so doesn’t have one on.  He has been missing since …

Now that Move Seattle has passed, the language Jean Godden added to the levy for us is part of the plan. SDOT must “Develop plans and complete improvements to enhance the NE 45th St corridor for pedestrians and cyclists between 4th Ave NE and Brooklyn Ave NE by the time University Light Rail opens in 2021.”

The current Bike Master Plan needs to be fixed as it lists no I-5 bike crossing options except for the unfunded and unplanned 47th street bike and pedestrian bridge. Here is the current plan, where the bridge is the red segment:

Here’s an adjustment …

What are your plans amidst rain and wind? To decode the Voynich Manuscript? Bah, that’s child’s play, try to fix Seattle 2035. While we’ve lost all hope of changes given the election results, the WCC says you should do your civic duty. This comes to us from Frank of the WCC:

The last Seattle 2035 Open House for public comments on the updated Comprehensive Plan is this Saturday November 14th, 9:00 AM – 12:00 PM, at North Seattle College. There is a presentation at 10:00 PM. The meeting is in the College Center (CC) building, and parking is free.

Satay’s last day was yesterday, we’ll be missing Satay’s dog-friendly back porch and laid back atmosphere. Stone Soup Theatre will be shutting down the DownStage performance space at 40th and Stone Way after 20 years of performances this December.

From Satay: We’d like to thank all our customers, employees, friends and family for their support over the years. A special thanks goes out to our Auntie Moon whose generosity in teaching us how to cook Malaysian food is much appreciated.

Sincerely,
The Satay Brothers

From Stone Soup Theater: One thing we can all count on is change. Many months prior …

We’re looking at fixes to the Bike Master Plan for Wallingford now that Move Seattle passed. First up: Green Lake Way and 50th.

Currently, the Bike Master Plan includes a cycle track on Green Lake Way North of 50th that continues around the lake, up to and past the Green Lake Community Center. The cycle track will be on the side of Green Lake Way that faces the park because that reduces conflicts with cars. It will also continue on 50th West of the intersection, connecting to a cycle track on Phinney.

The cycle track on Green Lake Way is …
