Prompted by the beating of a 15 year old girl by two Seattle-area jailers, he asks if teachers and nurses are not allowed to beat up people, then why do we tolerate violence by cops?Then we visit the Judas Goat, a reference to military recruiters.

PHOTOS: 2009 Solstice Parade and Celebration
The 21st Fremont Solstice Parade took place on June 20th. Thousands of people turned out to watch the parade. The collective work and creativity that goes into the floats is reason enough to attend the parade. However, the hundreds of naked bicyclists are also very popular with the crowd. Most of the bicyists have painted bodies with elaborate designs. They pass so quickly that it's hard to appreciate the quality of work that the body artists have created.

Seattle Homeless Camp Faces Eviction
Nickelsville arrives by truck |
Early Saturday morning the homeless residents of Nicklesville left Renton. Shortly after 5 AM in the morning, they arrived at a place near where they had been kicked out last September. As a northwest mist greeted the day, they unloaded three trucks of camping gear and personal belongings. The tent city is in South Seattle near 2nd Avenue SW and Highland Park Way SW. Rather than settle on city land, they are camping on state land. Will the state and Governor Gregoire show more mercy than Seattle Mayor Nickels has? Time will tell. The Nicklesville folks want to build a shanty town on the unused state land. They are asking supporters to contact the Governor and the State Transportation Secretary. |
Around 11:00 AM today - 6/9/09 - the Washington State Department of Transportation posted Nickelsville with Official WSDOT Notices that, in their opinion, we are trespassing. That's the bad news. The good news is that there has not YET been any time and date set for forcible expulsion, or d-day. |
