12th Ave Seattle

Where do you think a new park should be located? Plans are still moving forward for the 12th Avenue Gathering Place at 12th and E James Court. However, the Parks Department has money for new park acquisition so the neighborhood is trying to identify possible sites. Please check out the links below for pictures of sites we have in mind and where they are on a map. If you have other ideas, please leave a comment!
Chinook's cioppino is delicious and will rob you of your dignity.
Saturday noon-time my girlfriend and I are discussing where to get seafood for lunch, which has always proved problematic in Seattle, where a proximity to water and a supply of talented chefs rarely seems to result in a decently priced seafood meal. So we decide to bank on a proven commodity— Chinook's at Fishermen's Terminal in Magnolia.
Just to make the drive over a little more exciting, once we're in the car we decide not
The unfortunate empty lot on the corner of 12th and Fir is finally getting a little attention. Failed development plans by Pb Elemental left the lot empty for months and months and the site had become a dumping ground for cars, old television sets and other junk.
The story is finally getting better though! Umpqua Bank (based in Oregon) now owns the site and came to visit Capitol Hill Housing to talk about the site and give us an update on their plans. As you can see from the photo above, a clean-up crew immediately tackled the large trash problem on March 10th. Umpqua plans to have temporary fencing up around the lot this week and will be having geotechnical engineers come out and look at the eroding hillside issue on the north and west sides of the lot.
Umpqua Bank is our hero! We’re so excited to have them as a new community partner and so pleased at their quick response to this major neighborhood issue.
Hooray for Umpqua Bank!!
Update
Umpqua has installed a fence around the 12th and Fir lot. And the trash...

Tonight:
The Seattle University Law School is hosting a panel discussion on the panhandling regulations being proposed by City Councilmember Tim Burgess. Burgess will be there to argue for the proposed rules, which target “aggressive panhandling”

Over fifty Central District residents packed into a Seattle University class room last night to voice their concerns and (some) to support the 22nd Avenue Re-Entry House Project. John Hayes, the Director of Community Relations for the Seattle Police Department, moderated the meeting. Hayes reminded attendees that they should premise the discussion on the fact that the re-entry project will happen. The audience should focus on making the project mutually agreeable to the neighbors and its founders. New Hope's efforts are consistent with a national movement among historically black churches to deal with the problem of a shortage in offender reentry housing.
James Kenny, an Assistant Seattle City Attorney, spoke after Hayes and cautioned the assemblage that even if a good neighbor agreement is reached between Black Dollar Days Task Force and the 22nd Avenue Block Watch and Community Group, this would be a civil agreement between two parties. In other words, the police and city prosecutors...

OLYMPIA -- Gov. Chris Gregoire intervened personally this morning to untangle a dispute among lawmakers over a proposed amendment to the state Constitution allowing judges to deny bail to dangerous criminal defendants.
The governor came to the wings of the state Senate and bluntly told Majority Leader Lisa Brown, D-Spokane, she couldn't support the latest Senate version of the amendment because it didn't go far enough. Gregoire then pulled several senators into a meeting to hash out a compromise.

Do you know what to do with used bubble wrap, padded envelopes and other packaging material? Unless you’re trying to make a fun dress as modeled by this creepy mannequin, you’re in luck because local businessman Alan Goldwasser will reuse your packaging materials.
You usually can’t recycle this stuff so this is a welcome change to dumping it in the trash and knowing that it will just sit in the landfill for another 100 years.
For more information on Alan’s good work and his local partners, check out the full story on the CHS blog .
You can drop off bubble wrap and padded mailers at Retrofit Home (currently at 12th Ave between Union and Pike but moving to 11th Ave and Pike later this spring). Unfortunately no styrofoam peanuts will be accepted.

Capitol Hill's Cupcake Royale location was home to a different type of voting Thursday morning.
Kids decorated 181 cupcakes (while snacking on a few of their own) to send to state legislators. The message: Don't cut early-learning funding in the face of a budget crisis.
The number of tots not only exceeded expectations--they also made more cupcakes than planned. The message to Olympia was originally going to be a "155 Cupcake-O-Gram."
The event was a collaboration between Cupcake Royale and MomsRising.
