🚨🚔

Hey everyone the comet lodge haunt is back for our fourth year.

You may remember our little home haunt from such features as Evening Magazine and the Seattle Times.

This years always free special event features zombies, a graveyard, fog, lights synched with music and the Seattle Thrillers flash mob.

In addition as you brave the haunted trail other themes include a witches lair, a corn maze, a haunted pumpkin patch, a spooky swamp, a pirates cove, and a spider tunnel and just when you think you are home free local celebrity Jimothy will jump out scare the living daylights out of you.

Like last you we will have a coveted, heated lounge serving FREE coffee, hot cider, coco, and cupcakes so parents can hang out while their kids make their ninth and tenth lap on the trail.

We open this Friday October 16 at 6pm

Schedule is Oct 16,17,23,24,30,31. From 6 to 9 pm.

More questions? Check out our Facebook page for answers, more pics, videos, etc

Trying this again , lost my wallet a couple weeks back with ID for Felipe Cervantes and ORCA card as well. It also had $25 cash if I recall correctly! Keep them but please return wallet to address or reach out to me. It was a bifold black Calvin Klein wallet.

I like sharing my adventures of Seattle on film photography. Taken with a Holga FN 120, Lomography 400 film.

I’ve tried to contact Signal Security on multiple occasions for non emergency issues at my apartment. Their number is posted all over our building, and they allegedly ”patrol” the area. Tonight I tried to call to see if they could do anything about the car blocking the entry way to our apartments parking garage, and the line is always busy and nobody ever picks up. Has anybody else dealt with them before? Getting really sick of the people who loiter in the alley behind my building, and SPD clearly don’t give a shit.

Anyone on or near Seattle center doing these raids?

At California Ave & Oregon St in West Seattle, on the wall of Chase Bank, there is a mural of a teacher with a class full of students and the message “TODAY IS BANK DAY” written on the chalkboard. It was painted around 1990 by Alan Wylie, and then restored by muralist Bob Henry (not the “Henry” murals guy, that’s Ryan Henry Ward) in 2020.  (Here is a picture from 2019 showing the mural start to fade before the restoration.)

“BANK DAY” refers to a thrift-teaching custom in American schools in the 1920s, in which students would bring cash to school, the staff would collect it, and it would be deposited in the student’s name in a real account with the local bank.

In the mural, the teacher’s name “Miss Chilberg” is written on the blackboard. I couldn’t find any source explicitly confirming that’s based on a real person (and the muralist doesn’t seem to have a public artist page, otherwise I would have asked him), but members of the prominent Chilberg family moved to Seattle in the 1800s. Googling “chilberg” “seattle” “teacher” led to https://www.seattletimes.com/pacific-nw-magazine/upheaval-on-spring-street-ca-1909/ (paywalled) which says: “In 1908, the Chilbergs, with their daughter, Mabel, a teacher at Seattle High School, left their pioneer corner and moved farther up the hill.” So it seems likely that that’s her.

She was also the sister of the most prominent Chilberg at the time, John Edward Chilberg, who was president of the 1909 Alaska–Yukon–Pacific Exposition. And that guy’s grandson was John Edward Chillberg II, who was the art director for Star Trek III.

Thank you for your service Mabel!

Wife was at a concert tonight, so I parked at Pike Place and just started walking. Wonderful weather, great food, beautiful atmosphere. No better way to spend four hours, just wanderin'.

UPDATE: FOUND

Missing pug mix. Last seen this morning at NE 85th st and 35th Ave NE (heading north). He's wearing a collar and is chipped.

DO NOT CHASE

(He's been posted in the King County lost dogs FB group as well).

Forget ghosts, goblins and things that go bump in the night. We've got four letters that'll send a shiver down any driver's spine: B-U-S-Y.That's right, another weekend of closures is creeping up on us.

Inspired by true (upcoming) events. Rated B for BUSY. Coming to a freeway near you Oct. 16–18:

NB I-405 CLOSED in Bellevue

- Closed between SE 8^th St to NE 4^th St. from 11 p.m. Friday, Oct. 16 to 4 a.m. Monday, Oct. 19. The following ramps will also close at this time: SE 8^th St. on-ramp to NB I-405 and NB I-405 off-ramp to NE 4^th St/NE 8^th St. (Exit 13 A/B). Crews will pave, install concrete panels and set an overhead sign structure.

NB I-5 CONTINUED LANE CLOSURES across Ship Canal Bridge in Seattle

- Reduced to two lanes across the Ship Canal Bridge until the end of 2026. The express lanes will remain open NB-only 24/7.

EB I-90 LANE REDUCTIONS in Snoqualmie

- Two right lanes of EB I-90 closed from east of SR 18/Snoqualmie Parkways to SE N Bend Way, 6 a.m. Saturday, Oct. 17 to 9 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 18. Maintenance crews will use this closure make bridge deck repairs.

You know that friend who looks over at you right before the jump scare in a horror movie? Yeah, that's us. Except instead of ruining the movie, we're giving you a heads-up about weekend closures. Check the travel maps, know your route before you go and give yourself extra time to get to that pumpkin patch.

I know that it’s been bad with the ongoing bridge work, but the last two days have seemed extra extra horrible. Both days my commute after work has taken an extra 20 to 25 minutes.

Is there some extra factor I’m not aware of?

Hey!

I was in a commercial when I was a kid, and have spent several nights trying to find a copy online (reddit, YouTube, etc.) with no luck. Here's what I remember about it:

• There was a conga-style line of children trying to ice skate. I was the kid at the back and fell, taking the entire line of children down with me except the girl in front (my sister, naturally), who skated away with barely a turn of her head. The brief clip of this happening is the part I've been offered bribery to share.
• I remember a man explaining to us that they were going to be recording everyone who went ice skating to make a commercial for something happening with Ronald McDonald House (the charity), but I can't remember if the commercial was primarily for charity, or the rink itself.
• I'm reasonably certain it was a local commercial.
• My mom says the only thing she remembers is that it happened in Redmond.
• I have the fuzziest of fuzzy impressions that the ice rink was somehow attached/adjacent to a large mall, but that could be entirely wrong.
• I think there might have been a brief mention of it on the evening news (KOMO/KING, but we usually watched KOMO), but it definitely aired in commercials and I remember my dad pausing a recording of it to critique every painful aspect of it with my grandparents. I'm also pretty sure my mom did away with my dad's accumulation of tapes many years ago.
• I intend to collect my bribe in cat pictures, and am happy to share a finder's fee of the same!

I know it's a super long shot and I apologize if there's anything I did wrong in the posting, but I appreciate any leads anyone may have :)

CLAIMED

I got sick and my buddy can’t go either so if anyone wants to see Ken Pomeroy (opener) and then Iron and Wine, the seats are up for grabs. The show is at 8 PM tonight at the 5th avenue theater.

They‘re in the mezzanine section row M. Pretty good view.
