So here we are at the first Democratic debates. The New York Times created a Bingo sheet to play for the debates. Here are my things to watch: How many times will Elizabeth Warren use the word fight? How many times will Joe Biden use the word folks? How many times will a man interrupt …

Seattle’s Newest Park
It’s not much to look at. It’s just a small sliver of beachfront off the Burke-Gilman Trail. It’s not readily accessible by car. However, the NE 130th Street End Park now belongs to the city after a long battle. You can read about it in this Seattle Times article. The Save the Beach campaign …

Where’s the Chicken???
Paris has the Eiffel Tower. Seattle has the Space Needle. Bothell has the Country Village Chicken – or rather, used to have the Country Village Chicken.
