  Interesting article on sprawl vs. preserving community and nature. Housing may be cheaper in Houston or Atlanta...must I would never want to live in those cities.

- Local Barack Obama draws thousands, but hundreds can't get in KeyArena | Seattle Times Newspaper
  Posted by Igmuska from Seattle Times
  Doors were locked after KeyArena reached its capacity of about 20,000, officials said. Those who made it inside were not allowed to leave because police wanted to keep those outside from pushing through the doors and forcing themselves in. People outside were banging on glass doors and windows of the arena, as police were trying to maintain peace.

- The disturbing story behind the last great UW team
  Posted by Jeff from Seattle Times
  An unprecedented look behind the scenes — based largely on documents unavailable at the time — reveals a disturbing level of criminal conduct and hooliganism by the players on that team. Former coach Rick Neuheisel and athletic director Barbara Hedges accepted most of it, demanding little discipline or accountability from their athletes. And other community institutions, including prosecutors, police, judges and the media, went along.

- Capitol Hill slaying has sent many women to self-defense class
  Posted by Jeff from Seattle Post-Intelligencer
  Tilsen said her office has received an avalanche of calls from people wanting safety tips and enrollment information since Harps' unsolved killing. Six people took the monthlong course last fall. That same class is over capacity with 27 students this winter, and another class was added to meet demand.

  "Airports are big polluters," said John Creighton, president of the Port commission. "But we want to be part of the solution not the problem, and the first step is getting solid data, to reduce aviation-related emissions."

- Bring on the Lift but Hold the Groomers in Washington
  Posted by Jeff from New York Times
  Ms. Le Blanc and others also appreciated that the resort hadn’t turned the trail map into a treasure map that revealed all the choicest ski lines in the North Country, or installed a high-speed lift. (Mr. Kircher said his company purposefully installed a slower, $3 million double chair instead of a high-speed quad to limit the number of people who skied the area each hour.)

Several lanes closed on Aurora bridge due to possible suicide attempt

Apparently, the man jumped or fell to his death a short time ago.

Local Buses overflow, squeezing riders and transit in King, Snohomish counties

I’ve defnitely seen the increase in ridership on my own commute—#2 bus from the Central District, heading downtown. At peak commuter hours, the bus is often overflowing. It’s rough for my situation, because I’m trying to connect with ferries to Bainbridge on a commute schedule that takes 1.5 hrs mininum, door-to-door. Full buses mean more frequent stops and more time spent at each stop as people struggle to reach the doors—resulting in schedule delays. I hope that more buses and/or more frequent buses, are in store for downtown commuter routes.

Nickels may be a community leading green mayor but he’s also a developer’s mayor and paul allen’s mayor and a do-little mayor on transit.

I was motivated to write to May Nickels in response to this. Here’s what I wrote to him:
"I do not believe $1115 in rent a month is "Affordable housing."

The fact that there are many well to do business people in Seattle should not put a shadow over the Childcare professionals, construction workers, educators, and Administrative Assistants who make less than 40K a year. If they had to pay $1115 a month it would most certainly be well over 30% of their income.

Are you trying to turn Seattle into an elitist community, or what?"

If you feel the same way, you should email important officials too.
