    The last message was from me.

    I'm on 95th St and 44th Ave.  We actually had a break-in November too.  That time my roommate woke up and scared the guy away before he could take anything but not before he threw a rock through the sliding glass door.  It's makes us feel a little insecure to have two break-ins in a year.   We're going to be signing another year lease in a couple days so I hope it's just a fluke.

    Our house just got robbed yesterday in broad daylight.  They took some electronics, loose change, and food.  They also went through all the drawers in the house.  Be careful.

    wondering if people have noticed an influx of transient kids wandering down 95th toward Sand Point way, some with bags of groceries, some with shopping carts?

School policy splits up pair of twins

More evidence of the Seattle schools broken admission's policy. The Seattle Times profiles a family in the neighborhood who have twins that were denied entrance to the same elementary school. One attends Bryant and one attends Wedgwood.
 
Hopefully this will be the year the Seattle School Board approves the plan that guarantees students a spot at the school closest to their homes.

Meeting to get more greenspace in Wedgwood!

Got this info from Greg at Wedgwood Action who is always on top of city land use stuff.
 
The city is setting aside $24 million for park acquisition and Wedgwood is on the list for potential investment.
The two potential properties for acquisition are:
the pocket park at the corner of 35th Ave NE (right by the CC Hair Salon)
NE 86th Street, and the open space at 35th Ave NE and NE 80th Street. (Across from the church)

If you are interested in getting more parks in the neighborhood take a little time out to go to this meeting:
Wednesday, July 17, 2008 - 5:30 start time

Let the school board know how you feel about overcrowded NE Seattle schools

wwood
A group has organized to voice concerns of NE parents about the overcrowding of our neighborhood schools -The NE Cluster Coalition. Did you know next year Wedgwood Elementary will grow from 419 to 505 students? And Eckstein middle school is so over capacity that 30% of its classes are being held in portables.
 
You can find out more about the group at

The group will be presenting the petition to the School Board
on Wed. June 18th and are hoping to have hundreds in
attendance showing their support.

Wedgwood Sign Swiped!

sign
 
First it was tagged now it has been stolen. The Welcome To Wedgwood sign at NE 70th & 35th NE appears to have been taken sometime last week.
 
There seems to be an increase in graffiti in the hood over the past couple months. I've noticed a bunch of new tags up and down 35th. Also heard a report out of Laurelhurst of window smashing and Molotov cocktails (!) being thrown by bored teenagers.
