8th and Seneca?!! I work at 9th and Seneca kitty corner from Virginia Mason Hospital. That is insanely close and I haven't heard anything about it from anyone :/

This is insane. It's like there's a new shooting every day.

Maple Leaf was a bad tip, shooter still on the loose. They think he's still near Cafe Racer.
Disturbing map on komo's website showing locations of shootings so far this year:

My gf and I just got back from visiting Seattle/Vancouver for the first time this past Memorial Day weekend. Didn't even realize the shootings have been going on the past month and we stayed in downtown too (1st & Madison) and walked around between there and Pike Place Market.
I was planning on us going to the Seattle Center Saturday where the guy randomly got shot by the Space Needle but we instead went on Sunday.
Ugh, scary shit nevertheless. I liked the time I spent in your guys' city and hope the gun violence dies down over the next couple of months. I certainly didn't notice anything was amiss when we were there.

The Cafe Race shooter was the same person as the 8th and Seneca shooter.
Cops all over the place in my neighborhood driving home today. What a terrible chain of events.

Used to the really crazy shit happening in the other parts of the State. Crazy seems ingrained in the region a bit though. Bundy.. Ridgeway.. beltway sniper.. those mass cop killings.. plethora of people offing entire families over the years, etc.
BUT LEAVE MY SEATTLE ALONE YOU CRAZIES!

State cuts funding to social services like mental illness, dude with reported mental illness who commenter says used to use those services gets shut out. Kills 4 people in two different places, injures many more.
Very sad story, though I'm glad we can be sure it's over without suspects still at large.

A friend of mine from junior high and high school, her sister was in Cafe Racer during the shooting. You can see her sitting with her back to the shooter reading a book in a few of the security cam shots. She's fine, but pretty shaken up based on her Facebook comments.
Huh. I was going to bump this a week or so ago, because the wife and I are coming down to Seattle for a couple of concerts (from Vancouver). Thread's full of great information, especially about restaurants!
The chilling part of this for me is the innocent bystanders being hurt. That's awful - I mean, every shooting is, but you know what I'm saying.
When we had a really bad spate of gun violence up here a.. year or two ago? It was bad, a shooting every day or two, but it was almost uniformly gang members.
Stay safe, Seattle. Hide yo guns. I'm Canadian. :-(

Heh, I walked across the street from work and bought a bottle too. Thought about Mad Men-ing it up at my desk this afternoon, but decided to save it for home.

Yeah, I don't drink a lot of liquor but I'm probably going to buy some after work tomorrow just because I can. I'll save it for when I finish my finals next week.

I don't get it. The QFC down the street sold every bottle of liquor they had in one day. Is it just the novelty that's causing such a sales rush? I mean, it's the same stuff you could've gotten at the state liquor store nearby for less money...
Me too. Shitty measure that gives exclusive rights to sell liquor to only large stores. Basically another great corporate giveaway. Fucking costco.

Brewday yesterday in Seward Park.
I voted against it to. Not a fan of the results so far - price for a bottle of Basil whiskey has gone up $5.
The Seattle Times is loving the liquor debate. "OMG so expensive!" I voted for it and the two purchases I've made since have been the same or less than the state run liquor stores. This comment by captainbeefy (lol) sums up my thoughts.
Hmm, what is that baby drinking?

What were you brewing?
I used to brew pretty regularly, haven't in about 6 months. Hard to think of a better hobby to have, I need to get back into it.

Citra Hop Pale Ale. This was our first foray into all-grain brewing, went really well.

DM-I don't really know much about home brewing, but some buddies of mine started up a homebrew club kinda near you. You should check them out if you're looking for some like-minded folks to collaborate with. They're called the Central District Brewing Collective: cdbrewing.com/

So the Oklahoma City Sonics are in the playoffs. Imagining what the atmosphere would be like here in Seattle with that team.

Yeah, man. I should be drunk at Floyd's Place on Lower Queen Anne right now.

Not sure but the Capitol Hill one did back in February and it was awesome! Regardless, I was thinking it might be time to get another GAF meetup going. Any takers?
Seattle Retro Gaming Expo's happening in Bellevue next weekend. Maybe there?

I live in Greenlake, but my buddy who's house we brew at lives down in Seward Park. There's a group of four us who always get together and brew. Thanks, though!
Fuck that team.
They're going to make me root for Boston.
I'll need a Silkwood shower to get the stench out of me (and they're going to crush whoever comes out of the east anyway).
Fuck Stern, fuck the FThunder and fuck dunejump.
I've done 15 batches but for some reason I've yet to go all-grain. By the end of summer I figure I'll get around to it.
Do you bottle or keg?
