Joel Connelly gets real with Occupy Seattle; a revenue breakdown of expenses and revenue for Washington's public universities; SHARE/WHEEL occupies . . . the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation?; an Alaskan politician gets nailed in oil bribery case; and an ode to foraging in West Seattle's Schmitz Pa
Costco is spending more on liquor initiative; Amnesty's call to arrest W in Surrey, B.C.; Portland scores a point on Seattle in competition to be most bookish; plus much, much more (OK, a little more).
The 99 percenters conveniently ignore their role in overspending; Occupy Seattle's flagrant demands of McGinn; NW antisemitism rears its ugly head; anti-gay marriage sentiments weaken among WA's conservatives; and real estate values throw Westerners into an identity crisis.
Gov. Rosellini, Tweeters beware, McGinn's Westlake tap dance, Metro's ban on political advertising, and Sightline's Alan Durning provides a neat glimpse of the soon-to-be-gone Elwha dams.
1492 and all that; the Vancouver editor who launched Occupy Wall Street; Westneat does Westlake; legacies of Prohibition in the liquor initiatives; and more praise for Steve Jobs' aesthetic sense amid all America's ugliness.
