Further, as you know, King County government owns and operates the Youth Services Center - King County's Juvenile Court and Detention facility - a significant regional facility located along the 12th Avenue corridor. Currently the site is highly automobile-oriented, featuring a large parking lot which the community is interested in seeing re-devleoped into a denser, more pedestrian and transit oriented facility.</p> </blockquote> <p>The recommendation should have impact. Phillips is also a member of the Sound Transit board of directors and chair of the Central Link Oversight Committee. While the city will be in charge of planning and building the line, Sound Transit is paying the construction bill.</p> <p>First Hill advocates have already <a href="http://www.capitolhillseattle.com/2009/09/28/putting-more-first-hill-in-the-first-hill-capitol-hill-streetcar">voiced their opposition to a 12th Ave loop alignment</a> saying it would decrease the utility of the line for First Hill residents and workers.

Walking through Bailey/Coy Books today, about ten days since the <a href="http://www.capitolhillseattle.com/2009/11/01/bailey-coy-books-says-goodbye-to-close-shop-at-end-of-month">bombshell</a> news came out that the store would close at the end of November, was much sadder than expected. While braced for something far removed from a usual bookstore visit I was surprised at the knot in my stomach at the sight of the store standing on its very last legs.</p> <p>Roughly half the floor space has been cordoned off by bookshelves, leaving visible empty floor space behind. Shelves are stocked with a far smaller number of titles than you might presume and a fractional amount compared to what constituted business as usual. There&rsquo;s been a mad rush to take advantage of bargains before the store closes for good. Another telling sign: The shelves themselves are for sale.</p> <p>No surprise that there&rsquo;s pretty much universal agreement that Bailey/Coy&rsquo;s closure is a terrible thing. On Broadway for 26 years, the store has been (and still is, for the next three weeks at least) one of Capitol Hill&rsquo;s signature businesses.</p> <p>But sadly, perhaps not surprisingly, it&rsquo;s hardly the first time a well-established independent bookstore on the Hill has closed its doors. For one example, in March of this year <strong>Horizon Books</strong> shut down on 15th Avenue East, not long after closing its University District location. In so doing, a used bookstore that had been around for more than 30 years ceased to be.</p> <hr class="CONTENT_PAGE_BREAK" /> <p>Remember also <strong>Beyond the Closet</strong> at 518 E. Pike Street. The LGBT bookstore closed in 2005; I believe it opened in the late &lsquo;80s. Capitol Hill was obviously a natural fit for the store before vast changes to the bookselling industry led to its financial downturn. Another factor in this case was greater acceptance of LGBT titles in mass-market bookstores like Barnes and Noble. By the middle of this decade selling gay and lesbian titles was not the mark of distinction it once had been.</p> <p>Going back a little further, <strong>Pistil Books</strong> held court on East Pike Street where Bimbo&rsquo;s Bitchin&rsquo; Burritos now draws crowds. But in the Spring of 2001, owners Amy Candiotti and Sean Carlson closed the physical store and became an Internet-only operation. During a gathering at the store to discuss changes in the book industry, the owners bemoaned closing the shop but had to face economic realities. Carlson said he&rsquo;d been making $5 per hour for years, an amount that simply wasn&rsquo;t sustainable. The bright side in this case is that the online business remains; check them out at <a href="http://www.pistilbooks.net/">www.pistilbooks.net</a>.</p> <p>Those who&rsquo;ve logged more than a decade of residence on the Hill may remember <strong>Red and Black Books</strong> on 15th Avenue East, where Shoprite currently plies its trade. The store featured a huge variety of publications simply not found in other stores. Leftist political treatises, obscure poetry, multicultural children&rsquo;s books &ndash; the store&rsquo;s mission was to sell non-mainstream titles. Logically located on the Hill and run as a collective of devoted members, its model worked for years. And then did not: the store closed in early 1999. Another bookstore, Pages, opened in the space briefly, focusing more on being an Internet caf&eacute; when such things were somewhat novel and closing shortly thereafter.</p> <p>Just about everyone knows that what&rsquo;s lost when independent bookstores close is more than places where one can buy books. Bailey/Coy Books helps define Broadway and Capitol Hill. No doubt the Elliot Bay Book Company, should it move to the Hill, could fill a void Bailey/Coy will leave behind. But this would come at the expense of the void its departure would create in Pioneer Square. While such a relocation would be good for the Hill, it&rsquo;s probably not a great move for the city as a whole. Call it NIMBYism in reverse.</p> <p>If Bailey/Coy couldn&rsquo;t make it, nor the others that have gone under before it, who can? Because it&rsquo;s hard to imagine a neighborhood where a niche bookstore like Red and Black or Beyond the Closet, or a well-titled independent like Bailey/Coy would fare better. And that is truly a scary thought.</p><div style="clear: both"><br/><br/><div class="outlinedAd AD" style="margin-top: 25px;"><div class="adLabel" style="color: #dedede;font-size: 8px;">Advertisement</div><div id="AD_ROW">&nbsp;</div><div id="ADVERTISE_HERE_ROW" class="advertiseHere" style="font-size: 8px;"><a id="ADVERTISE_HERE_LINK" href="http://www.capitolhillseattle.com/ads/setup/adcreate?p=gM4PxzHyjlcHCjmWIEeiMWqL4F8">Advertise Here</a></div></div></div><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/Capitolhillseattle?a=A80OSRW0yMo:eFB0Ac9-fSs:0OFmNJGTgU0"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/Capitolhillseattle?i=A80OSRW0yMo:eFB0Ac9-fSs:0OFmNJGTgU0" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/Capitolhillseattle?a=A80OSRW0yMo:eFB0Ac9-fSs:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/Capitolhillseattle?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/Capitolhillseattle?a=A80OSRW0yMo:eFB0Ac9-fSs:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/Capitolhillseattle?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/Capitolhillseattle?a=A80OSRW0yMo:eFB0Ac9-fSs:I9og5sOYxJI"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/Capitolhillseattle?d=I9og5sOYxJI" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Capitolhillseattle/~4/A80OSRW0yMo" height="1" width="1"/>Doug Schwartz&lt;noreply@www.capitolhillseattle.com&gt;http://www.capitolhillseattle.com/2009/11/10/the-ghosts-of-hills-indie-bookstores-pastWed, 11 Nov 2009 21:00:30 GMT+00:00http://www.capitolhillseattle.com/2009/11/10/the-ghosts-of-hills-indie-bookstores-pastWar Room to close unless it finds a buyer - UPDATEhttp://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Capitolhillseattle/~3/ad6JHthy1Hk/war-room-to-close-unless-it-finds-a-buyer<p>Via the <a href="http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/musicnightlife/2010251179_warroomweb.html?cmpid=2727">Seattle Times</a>, we learned this morning that the <a href="http://thewarroomseattle.com/">War Room</a> will close, unless it finds a buyer by 11/30.  This could have been the <a href="http://capitolhillseattle.com/2009/10/15/a-secret-identity-nightclub-plus-other-hill-businesses-for-sale">$800k nightclub for sale</a> we noted a couple of months ago.  Marcus Lalario, the co-owner's statement, is puzzling - in light of the fact that a couple of War Room backed politicians (Michael McGinn and Pete Holmes) will soon be in power - and presumably be friendlier to nightlife on the Hill:</p><br/><blockquote> <p>The Capitol Hill nightclub The War Room, on the corner of Harvard Avenue and East Pike Street, will close Nov. 30 unless a buyer is found.</p> <p>In a written statement, co-owner Marcus Lalario said, "With so many issues still facing nightlife, we're ready to move on. The liquor tax increase, mounting pressures from the City and State helped us make the decision."</p> <p>Among the bands to have played The War Room in the five years since it opened are Band of Horses, Cave Singers and Wolf Parade. The War Room is also known for its weekly hip-hop night, Yo, Son!</p> <p>"We feel like we've had a good run of it," Lalario said.</p> </blockquote> <p><a href="http://lineout.thestranger.com/lineout/archives/2009/11/11/the-official-word-on-the-war-room-shutting-its-doors-future-uncertain"> Line Out</a> has the full text of the press release:</p><br/><blockquote> <p>Seattle, WA, November 10, 2009 — After nearly five years of holding down the block at Harvard and Pike, on Capitol Hill, the War Room’s current ownership will close its doors November 30. The future of the popular nightclub remains uncertain.</p> <p>The club, which opened in March, 2005, is officially for sale. Although there are interested buyers in place, no change of ownership has yet been confirmed.</p> <p>“We feel like we’ve had a good run of it,” said Marcus Lalario. “It’s time to move on to other projects, while we’re ahead of the game.” Lalario and his business partner, Brian Rauschenbach, will continue to run their other joint venture, bar/eatery Captain Blacks, and both remain invested in a variety of Seattle businesses.</p> <p>The War Room made an immediate impact on Seattle nightlife, with popular DJ nights and a slew of live entertainment. With its open-air rooftop deck and tasteful modern décor, the venue quickly became a favorite amongst club goers.</p> <p>Known primarily for hip hop and dance nights such as Yo, Son!, Ring The Alarm, Cherry, Hot Mess, and 2080’s, the mid-size venue also played host to a variety of live shows over the years.</p> <p>Band of Horses, Cave Singers, Wolf Parade, Chromeo, and Brawley Banks are just a few of the bands to play the War Room. Most recently, the club hosted a pre-Halloween show with Mad Rad and Champagne Champagne, where Mayor-elect Mike McGinn took the stage to introduce the headliners.</p> <p>“It was one of our favorite shows to date,” said Peter Robinson, aka P SMOOV, of Mad Rad. “And the fact that the Mayor welcomed us back to Party Mountain really made it extra awesome.”</p> <p>With custom artwork from Shepard Fairey/OBEY gracing its walls, and a host of fundraisers, benefits, and politically minded events under its belt, the War Room has successfully melded nightlife culture with loftier pursuits over the years.</p> <p>“One of our most memorable nights to date was definitely the Obama Election Party,” Rauschenbach said, recalling the capacity crowd and overwhelming goodwill. “We had everyone from Pearl Jam to almost every local DJ of note in the house, all hugging and celebrating.” The event raised thousands of dollars for local nonprofit, Treehouse For Kids.</p> <p>The War Room also served as campaign headquarters for Mayor-elect Mike McGinn on Election Night.</p> <p>“We honestly feel like we made a difference in the city with the War Room,” Lalario said. “But, with so many issues still facing nightlife, we’re ready to move on. The liquor tax increase, mounting pressures from the City and State helped us make the decision,” he added.</p> <p>Lalario confirmed that War Room staff members, as well as promoters that work with the venue, were notified of the impending closure last week.</p> <p>“We’ve been blessed with a tremendous staff over the years,” Lalario said. “We’ve been lucky to work with so many great people over the years, and we’ve got nothing but love for our crew.”</p> </blockquote> <p><strong>Update (11/11) 3 pm</strong>: <a href="http://seattlepostglobe.org/2009/11/11/seattle-nightclub-war-room-a-casualty-of-states-fire-sprinkler-law-and-other-factors">Seattle PostGlobe reports</a> that the estimate cost of installing a state-mandated new sprinkler system (over $60k) was a "huge factor" in the current owners' efforts to sell the war room</p><div style="clear: both"><br/><br/><div class="outlinedAd AD" style="margin-top: 25px;"><div class="adLabel" style="color: #dedede;font-size: 8px;">Advertisement</div><div id="AD_ROW">&nbsp;</div><div id="ADVERTISE_HERE_ROW" class="advertiseHere" style="font-size: 8px;"><a id="ADVERTISE_HERE_LINK" href="http://www.capitolhillseattle.com/ads/setup/adcreate?p=gM4PxzHyjlcHCjmWIEeiMWqL4F8">Advertise Here</a></div></div></div><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/Capitolhillseattle?a=ad6JHthy1Hk:eEWt29nuNCA:0OFmNJGTgU0"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/Capitolhillseattle?i=ad6JHthy1Hk:eEWt29nuNCA:0OFmNJGTgU0" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/Capitolhillseattle?a=ad6JHthy1Hk:eEWt29nuNCA:Bwv2rblVZ0k"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/Capitolhillseattle?i=ad6JHthy1Hk:eEWt29nuNCA:Bwv2rblVZ0k" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/Capitolhillseattle?a=ad6JHthy1Hk:eEWt29nuNCA:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/Capitolhillseattle?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/Capitolhillseattle?a=ad6JHthy1Hk:eEWt29nuNCA:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/Capitolhillseattle?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/Capitolhillseattle?a=ad6JHthy1Hk:eEWt29nuNCA:I9og5sOYxJI"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/Capitolhillseattle?d=I9og5sOYxJI" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Capitolhillseattle/~4/ad6JHthy1Hk" height="1" width="1"/>seadevi&lt;noreply@www.capitolhillseattle.com&gt;http://www.capitolhillseattle.com/2009/11/11/war-room-to-close-unless-it-finds-a-buyerWed, 11 Nov 2009 18:41:36 GMT+00:00http://www.capitolhillseattle.com/2009/11/11/war-room-to-close-unless-it-finds-a-buyerPackard Building to open on the New Yearhttp://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Capitolhillseattle/~3/XjmBunXqaxA/packard-building-to-open-on-the-new-year<div style="position: relative;margin-right: 15px;height: 240px;width: 319px;margin-bottom: 15px;float: left;"><img height="240" width="319" src="http://www.capitolhillseattle.com/media/news/2009/11/11/Lh2khSKzNUbZv5WMcukzBqFQ-medium.jpg"/></div> <p>While the design process gets started for <a href="http://www.capitolhillseattle.com/2009/11/05/round-2-of-early-design-for-11th-pine-too-similar-to-the-old">one Pike/Pine mixed-use redevelopment at 11th and Pine</a>, another development at 12th and Pine is about to open its doors to those uses, mixed.

CHS received the following tip from neighbor Westley:</p><br/><blockquote> <p>I saw a sign on Taco Time. I don't remember exactly what it said, but I think it either said they are closing or moving. Not quite sure.</p> </blockquote> <p>Note the panic -- Westley was so distraught he was unable to recount even what he had read on the heartbreaking sign.</p> <p>A quick phone chat with manager Rodney Keith confirmed the worst.</p> <p>The Madison Taco Time will close its doors on Sunday. Keith says he's moving on to a new gig. All other questions were referred to company HQ so no word on whether this was a surgical closure or part of a widespread downsizing for the chain.</p> <p>According to <a href="http://www.tacotimenw.com/getlocation.php?query=all">the Taco Time Web Northwest site</a>, the Madison location is one of 75 in the state. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taco_Time">Wikipedia says</a> the chain has more than 200 franchises in the US and another 75 in Canada and Japan.</p> <p>The departure is also the latest in a long, slow exodus from the Hill for national fast food chains.

Gray says the announcement on the start of service will come later this week and said the trains will be continuing through to the Sea-Tac stop "in time for the holidays." "Which holidays?"

The Mallahan camp has called a press conference this evening. <strong>Update</strong>: <a href="http://twitter.com/jseattle/statuses/5575247114">The Mallahan camp concedes.</a></p> <p><strong>Today's update:</strong></p> <ul> <li>Mike McGinn          96,514 (+11,098), 50.88%</li> <li>Joe Mallahan         91,575, (+8,543), 48.28%</li> </ul> <p> 95% of votes based on King County's expected turnout are now tallied.</p> <p>McGinn's campaign was grassroots and 'open' format -- and very Capitol Hill.

But it still appears that police don&rsquo;t know precisely why it happened.</p> <p>At a press conference at SPD headquarters this afternoon, the department released a flurry of information about their suspect, and showed a video of the last known encounter between Seattle police and Christopher Monfort, two weeks before he allegedly pulled up alongside of Officer Brenton and Officer Britt Sweeney&rsquo;s patrol car on Halloween, and opened fire.</p> <p>In the video, recorded on a patrol car dash cam, police follow Monfort&mdash;driving a green Crown Victoria, possibly a decommissioned law enforcement vehicle&mdash;through the Central District on October 15th, a half-dozen blocks from where Officer Brenton was shot and killed two weeks later. Assistant Chief Jim Pugel says officers spotted Monfort driving near 31st and Yesler&mdash;&mdash;he looked &ldquo;lost,&rdquo; Pugel says&mdash;and pulled him over after he failed to use his turn signal. When officers stopped him, they also found that he had no proof of insurance. Police cited Monfort and sent him on his way.</p> <p>It&rsquo;s not yet clear what Monfort was doing in the Central District, miles from his Tukwila home, and so close to where Officer Brenton would eventually be murdered. Was he getting a look at the neighborhood, planning his escape route? Was this traffic stop the last straw for Monfort that allegedly led him to choose the area as a hunting ground?</p> <p><a href="http://www.seattlecrime.com/2009/11/09/anatomy-of-a-murder"><strong>More at SeattleCrime...</strong></a></p><div style="clear: both"><br/><br/><div class="outlinedAd AD" style="margin-top: 25px;"><div class="adLabel" style="color: #dedede;font-size: 8px;">Advertisement</div><div id="AD_ROW">&nbsp;</div><div id="ADVERTISE_HERE_ROW" class="advertiseHere" style="font-size: 8px;"><a id="ADVERTISE_HERE_LINK" href="http://www.capitolhillseattle.com/ads/setup/adcreate?p=gM4PxzHyjlcHCjmWIEeiMWqL4F8">Advertise Here</a></div></div></div><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/Capitolhillseattle?a=29E0q8N2qLQ:r4kNrrTXKbg:0OFmNJGTgU0"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/Capitolhillseattle?i=29E0q8N2qLQ:r4kNrrTXKbg:0OFmNJGTgU0" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/Capitolhillseattle?a=29E0q8N2qLQ:r4kNrrTXKbg:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/Capitolhillseattle?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/Capitolhillseattle?a=29E0q8N2qLQ:r4kNrrTXKbg:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/Capitolhillseattle?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/Capitolhillseattle?a=29E0q8N2qLQ:r4kNrrTXKbg:I9og5sOYxJI"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/Capitolhillseattle?d=I9og5sOYxJI" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Capitolhillseattle/~4/29E0q8N2qLQ" height="1" width="1"/>Jonah Spangenthal-Lee/SeattleCrime.com&lt;noreply@www.capitolhillseattle.com&gt;http://www.capitolhillseattle.com/2009/11/09/seattlecrimecom-anatomy-of-a-murderTue, 10 Nov 2009 07:15:14 GMT+00:00http://www.capitolhillseattle.com/2009/11/09/seattlecrimecom-anatomy-of-a-murderGorilla's purse snatchedGorilla snatches purse on Broadway, plus introducing SeattleCrimehttp://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Capitolhillseattle/~3/O_a80ddn6nQ/gorillas-purse-snatched-on-broadway-plus-introducing-seattlecrime<p><strike>A purse snatcher tried to ruin this man's Halloween by snagging his bag from his gorilla-suited paws.

More from our partner site, <a href="http://seattlcrime.com">SeattleCrime.com</a>:</p><br/><blockquote> <p>On October 31st, 10:30 a.m. a man walked in to Duvall's apartment building on 10th Ave E and E Roy inquiring about renting an apartment. Duvall, prosecutors say, approached the man and threw a coffee mug full of bleach in the man's face</p> <p>Five hours later, court records say Duvall, 40, approached a woman on 10th Avenue E and E Roy carrying two yellow tumblers. As he passed the woman, records say, he turned and threw bleach into the woman's face. Moments later, Duvall approached another man riding his bike on Roy Street and threw a cup of bleach in his face, and ran back into his building. Duvall's neighbors identified him to police, who took him in to custody.</p> </blockquote> <p>SeattleCrime is the project of former Stranger reporter Jonah Spangenthal-Lee. In addition to the occasional crime news of the weird (see above), Jonah has been adding great reporting to the citywide coverage of the Tim Brenton murder investigation.</p> <p>In addition to quality local journalism, SeattleCrime also has some pretty cool bells and whistles that we continue to work on. You'll be seeing more of these tools in our CHS crime reporting.</p> <p><a class="floatRight inlineImage" href="http://www.capitolhillseattle.com/2009/11/09/gorillas-purse-snatched-on-broadway/picture1229.png/medium"><img src="http://www.capitolhillseattle.com/media/news/2009/11/10/AsTjRhsfKrGarQiZjiATZe1Ho-large.jpg" alt="" width="410" /></a></p> <p>The <a href="http://www.seattlecrime.com/911/map">SeattleCrime Map</a> is especially useful. We're mapping 911 callouts, <a href="http://centraldistrictnews.com">Central District News</a> scanner reports and police reports from across the city. We're still refining and fixing things like enabling permalinks but it's already a pretty interesting tool. You can use it to drill down on any area in the city to see what from the crime files has been happening lately. Here's a view of recent automobile-related theft on Capitol Hill. Can't show you the trend yet -- but take my word for it, there's been a bump in the last few weeks with a mini-outbreak between Broadway and I-5 shores.</p> <p>Welcome Jonah and his team to the Seattle Internet.

The names and the stories have so much color -- it's a good lesson to go find out the names of those people in the world around you so you can write quality history later. The essay is also a lesson in how quickly the Hill's culture has changed while providing prologue for the family-friendliness of today's northern Capitol Hill with its mommy and daddies and daddies and daddies and mommies and mommies. There is also a taste of the clubbiness that still can pervade some Capitol Hill streets.</p> <p>From <a href="http://vsf.blogs.com/driving_audhumla/2009/11/growing-up-on-the-hill.html"><strong>Growing up on "the hill"</strong></a></p><br/><blockquote>We did a lot of the things our classmates did: bought penny candy at the same mom-and-pop stores, took 25 cents to the Roycroft Theater every Saturday afternoon for a program that included a serial, a newsreel, a cartoon and a feature film; built wooden hydroplanes and tied them to the back of our bikes for our own versions of the Gold Cup Races run on Lake Washington.  We sometimes went to the original Red Mill on Friday night with our aunt and uncle so we could have fish and chips and not have to go home to a kitchen that smelled like fried fish. <p>We went to the Friday night social dancing classes when we were in seventh and eight grades, and stood on one side of the hall while the St. Joe's boys were on the other. I can still remember a couple of Jack Reilly's sequence of steps and calls from that 7th-grade square dance class where they partnered us up with the boys by marching us in intersecting lines.</p> <p><a href="http://vsf.blogs.com/driving_audhumla/2009/11/growing-up-on-the-hill.html">more...</a></p> </blockquote> <hr class="CONTENT_PAGE_BREAK" /><div style="clear: both"><br/><br/><div class="outlinedAd AD" style="margin-top: 25px;"><div class="adLabel" style="color: #dedede;font-size: 8px;">Advertisement</div><div id="AD_ROW">&nbsp;</div><div id="ADVERTISE_HERE_ROW" class="advertiseHere" style="font-size: 8px;"><a id="ADVERTISE_HERE_LINK" href="http://www.capitolhillseattle.com/ads/setup/adcreate?p=gM4PxzHyjlcHCjmWIEeiMWqL4F8">Advertise Here</a></div></div></div><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/Capitolhillseattle?a=ysLyhzW3N60:Mrt7R0lt8yM:0OFmNJGTgU0"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/Capitolhillseattle?i=ysLyhzW3N60:Mrt7R0lt8yM:0OFmNJGTgU0" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/Capitolhillseattle?a=ysLyhzW3N60:Mrt7R0lt8yM:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/Capitolhillseattle?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/Capitolhillseattle?a=ysLyhzW3N60:Mrt7R0lt8yM:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/Capitolhillseattle?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/Capitolhillseattle?a=ysLyhzW3N60:Mrt7R0lt8yM:I9og5sOYxJI"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/Capitolhillseattle?d=I9og5sOYxJI" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Capitolhillseattle/~4/ysLyhzW3N60" height="1" width="1"/>jseattle&lt;noreply@www.capitolhillseattle.com&gt;http://www.capitolhillseattle.com/2009/11/08/i-grew-up-on-capitol-hillMon, 09 Nov 2009 04:37:13 GMT+00:00http://www.capitolhillseattle.com/2009/11/08/i-grew-up-on-capitol-hillPictures: Capitol Hill Halloween 2009http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Capitolhillseattle/~3/bTKJSuudpIg/pictures-capitol-hill-halloween-2009<p>You've already seen<a href="http://www.capitolhillseattle.com/2009/10/31/capitol-hill-costume-pictures-and-other-spooky-fun"><strong> some of the Hill-oween pictures we gathered and took</strong></a> during the fun last Saturday -- but there are so many new shots flying around the Internet in the days since that it would be a shame not to share those too.
