Dispatches from Ravenna, a neighborhood in Northeast Seattle
I-5 express lanes will close all weekend starting at 9pm tonight and not re-opening until Monday. The reason? Delivering pieces of Northgate ped/bike bridge. As you can see by below pics, the scale of these bridge spans are massive! @wsdot_traffic @SDOTtraffic

Kroger is closing two QFC grocery stores in Seattle. One in Capitol Hill and one Wedgwood. The company says they were underperforming but also partially blames a recent hazard pay law ($4 per hour) enacted by the City of Seattle. https://twitter.com/KOMOCharlie/status/1361756026207305729
QFC/Kroger announces shutdown of two Seattle stores. Company blames, in part, city council's decision to give workers $4/hr hazard pay.

Good news re: Pair building fire.
@RavennaBlog Fire in apt on 2nd floor NE end of bldg. Luckily people were home & called in quickly. Nobody hurt. Huge response. Firefighter said bldg is so old it would have likely burned bldg quickly. Bldg old no fire suppression. Pair & businesses unharmed. 👏 🙏 first responders.
Fire on floor two is tapped, per scanner. Address corresponds to that of the building which houses the Pair restaurant.
Crews are investigating reports of a fire at the 5500 Block of 30TH AVE NE. Please avoid the area.

Thanks for covering this! I wish I could’ve been there. I’m Glad to see road diets getting a mention, as they end up creating such a huge improvement for everyone (including drivers).
Nice work with the coverage. I would have liked to have seen this meeting taking place in their sanctuary!
Thanks for doing this live blog. We appreciate it. This enables us to share the details of the meeting with those who couldn’t be there.
Rebecca, thank you so much. I relied on your post to do a report which is on the Wedgwood Community Council page at wedgwoodcc.org I was taking notes with pen and paper! Your live-blog report helped me a lot.
