Missing your Hyundai owner’s manual?
Ellie writes:
We have found a leather bound Hyundai Owner’s Manual and materials for the 2012 Santa Fe after my mother’s car was broken into and the thief left them in our car. There is no registration or other info, just booklets about the car and a brand new leather bound case for all of it. Luckily, nothing was stolen in our car but I wanted to get these materials back to their owner who has also likely been through a car theft.
If you’ve been missing your Hyundai’s owner’s manual (and hopefully, that’s ALL you’ve been missing), please send …

314Pie Food Truck Coming Soon
A new food truck called 314Pie is in the works and if all goes well in the permitting department, it’ll likely be rolling around Seattle by the end of August. 314Pie is the brainchild of Wallingford resident Deke Kotria and his business partner, Casey Cooper. Inspired by his travels down under, Deke brought the idea of savory meat pies back home and collaborated with Casey, a pastry chef, to develop recipes for steak, veggie, lamb, curry, and chicken pies, and even a breakfast pie with egg, bacon and tomato. Plus, they’ll be offering seasonal fruit pies and other goodies for …

The other intersection is at 40th and Sunnyside where proponents of the project…
