We can’t save you from Monday…but we can get you into The Fray for free. Let them show you “How to Save a Life” (and maybe your week) when they hit Seattle next week.
Corny? Absolutely. Still entering? Obviously.

• Katie Wilson’s sitting at 50.1% in the primary, with Bruce Harrell at 41.7% and about 96k votes still to count. This race just got very interesting.

• Did you catch that sturgeon moon over Seattle this weekend? Big, bright, and basically the Pike Place halibut of the sky. Check out the Seattle Times article for why it’s called that and what makes it a supermoon.

• Umoja Fest took over the Central District this weekend with parades, music, HBCU fashion, and plenty of good food. It was all about community, and yes – the smiles were nonstop.

BRB, digging up more weird and wonderful stuff for tomorrow’s tea.
