Original Post

More than seven Seattle Police cruisers arrived near the 7500 block of 35th SW on Saturday around 1:25 pm and emerged with rifles out. They were not divulging the nature of the response but an ambulance pulled up and an officer on the scene said everything was under control. No duty officer was available at the SW Precinct so the exact nature of the incident was not immediately available. They were seen speaking to several people as they took notes on what took place.

Dumplings of Fury the asian fusion restaurant that opened in a tiny space at 4302 SW Oregon Street in 2016 has not only survived the pandemic, (their 400 square foot space pretty much dictated it was a primarily to go location in any case) they have thrived. Enough so that they are expanding into a much larger space, formerly occupied by Many Moons Trading Company at 4461 California Ave SW.

Owner Ben Jenkins said they are looking at a late spring, early summer grand re-opening. Last May Dumplings of Fury opened a second location, in of all places Hilliard, Ohio (a suburb of Columbus). That space has a lot more room and a larger menu too, something the upgraded West Seattle location will share.

Jenkins said, "We're adding around 30 seats inside and 12 more outside. And yes the menu will be larger like our other location because we will have the cook line and space to pull it off now."

Starting 3/17, additional groups of people are now eligible to receive vaccination in Washington state.

Some of these new categories can be confusing.  If you’re not sure if you’re eligible....

I’ve been thinking about colors lately. Specifically about my favorite color. When you are a kid, and you are making up your mind about the world, you sometimes ask others what their favorite is as a way to size them up. 

In the fourth grade my Mom bought me a beautiful Kelly Green short sleeved, button down shirt. I remember it vividly and I recall thinking, “This is my favorite color” as I gazed at it. I wore it a lot. But in the moment I declared it as my favorite I immediately felt kind of guilty. I still liked blue.  Specifically a kind of cobalt blue. 

And to be honest I was very partial to a shade of red, a kind of melon color that they had used to do the walls and carpets inside the original Cinerama theater in downtown Seattle. 

Why do we have favorite colors? Do they have meanings or effects on us?
