Plunging head-first into the weekend: More Tim Eyman trouble; the mayor’s latest prescription for homelessness; more accounts of public racism in Seattle; a drive to prevent future water-wasting export projects; and an LPGA champ’s new (non-golf) app.

First, thanks to all who came to our li’l soiree Wednesday and/or expressed their heartfelt wishes. Now: the news continues, with a tough break for Hope Solo; the Fremont parade wanting naked bicyclists to register as official participants; the first black Seafair Queen rediscovered; a lucid voice about youth homelessness; and Stuart Anderson going to the great steakhouse in the sky.

We’ve been doing these weekday e-missives for a whole year! If you’re in town, come join us at a low-key fete tonight. (Details at the link.) In non-self-centered topics: Bellevue High football gets the proverbial book thrown at it; Ride the Ducks might escape some crash-victim lawsuits; Capitol Hill Pride might celebrate beyond what it’s been officially permitted; progress at last in a four-year-old rape case; and testing corn-based jet fuel on a regular passenger flight.

The potential last day of the current hot spell includes stuff about an all-gender, anti-“rape culture” march; another govt. whistleblower harassed; a local visit by “the inventor of the World Wide Web;” charter schools that are more “diverse” than nearby public schools; and a remembrance of the father of whale-capturing (and, indirectly, of whale awareness/protection).

No six-six-(one)-six references in this e-missive. But you do get: A Catholic priest with a (female) spouse; the Oregon oil train disaster aftermath; your obligatory Ali remembrances; the UW’s latest spurning of non-techie courses; and a techie who scoffs (mistakenly, I believe) at regulating Airbnb.

The Mariners were down by 10 runs for the second night in a row. For the first night in a row, that’s not how it ended. Our weekend report also includes: New art-life for a closed gallery space; a Blue Angels flight ends tragically; a planned “bicycle of the future” will have to wait a while; the dorkiest media-company name you ever heard of; and scores of weekend activities.

The Sounders finally win on the road (then promptly go on a midseason break); new developments in the Seattle U sit-in; Little Saigon to get upscaled (to death?); waterfront streetcars go buh-bye; a crusade to prosecute police “unjustified deadly force.” All this and more in your Thursday e-note.

The thirteenth month of our newsletter venture begins with attempts to regulate short-term apartment rentals; a UW football player’s very human confessions; neighborhood NIMBYs getting nasty; an invention to liquify food waste; and why you shouldn’t try to steal an ATM.

In your Monday missive: The Mariners lose at home again; Central Washington’s wildfire season’s underway already, as seen by Sasquatch! festival-goers; Seattle’s black community’s increasingly a diaspora; a local high-school shooting becomes a streaming-TV-drama subplot; and who really sends the most anti-woman Tweets® and does it matter?

The holiday all about dead people is here, and we “celebrate” with KPLU saved (maybe); Sound Transit promising more rail (a little) sooner; Tim Eyman’s “starve the state” scheme KO’d for good; easier crowdfunding rules for startups; and massive weekend event listings.

It’s the day before the big Mem-Day weekend, and the Mariners just won a home series! In other topics: The downtown power failure was our kind of non-injurous “disaster” story;  the Stranger wants you to go see places that no longer existed (or never did); Portland’s police chief’s caught in a gun-related lie; and Microsoft’s Nokia purchase meets an inauspicious endgame.

Our midweek missive contains a man charged with stealing from the sick to help the religious; a Seattle Times pundit being totally wrong about something (again); U of Oregon students behaving badly; the state of ethnic artists in a white arts scene; and the latest thing in earbuds.

The Mariners came home and, yes, lost. Also today: Vandalizing salmon pens; hospital workers stealing opioids; a suburban city official who wanted to know where every Muslim in town lived; human-rights activists claim “victory” at Amazon; and a big artificial-intelligence conference in town (for all us fake-smarties).

Another week begins, and we observe a suburban college-teachers’ strike; a gruesome crime against a high-school teacher; whether Tukwila’s really as dangerous as some national survey suggests; the Storm’s inauspicious home opener; and towers getting too close together.

For our big pre-weekend missive we’ve got: A city growing even faster than Seattle (no, not THAT one); why drones should be kept away from orcas; the first thing associated with the “50 Shades” franchise to actually occur IN Seattle; the Pride Fest boss quits; and the Mariners bringing up a childhood TV memory.
