County's mentally ill fade into the system
|
|
By Carol Smith : November 17, 2008 : Seattle Post-Intelligencer

| The things they left behind: a houndstooth jacket slung over a chair, a boom box, a battered bike helmet. They left a romance novel, an algebra text, a brochure on knee surgery. They left clutches of hangers and empty prescription bottles, and leaning in the hall, a primitive painting of two staircases -- one going up, one down, a round smiling face hovering at the intersection between the two. |

Separately, we can't save anyone

Who could have saved Quincy Coleman?
The question doesn't go down easily for Sam Lachow, 18. One of his best friends is gone, shot dead two weeks ago on the back side of Garfield High School.
It's enough that he feels a hole of loss inside. Now everybody's asking questions — questions that carry hints of accusation. |

Potato Cheddar Chowder
|
|
By Acacia Jackson : November 3, 2008 : Seattle On The Hill
|
Fall is here and the craving for comfort foods has begun, and what better to satisfy that craving than with Potato Cheddar Chowder. This is a fantastic recipe that I stumbled across one year in Vegetarian Times magazine.
I’ve made it so many times that I know the recipe by heart. A few years ago I brought a double batch of this chowder to a soup-off, I left with the title and no leftovers to bring home. |

Apartment rental rate hike expected in Puget Sound area
|
|
By Jeanne Lang Jones : November 4, 2008 : Puget Sound Business Journal
|
Apartment rents in the Puget Sound area are expected to shoot up 6 percent this year, with Seattle-area rent increases among the highest in the nation, according to a third quarter report from Marcus & Millichap.
"Bolstered by job gains and healthy long-term population and household growth projections, the Puget Sound's economic strength will continue to support local apartment fundamentals, despite the third-quarter collapse of Washington Mutual," the real estate investment services firm said in a release. |
