Just heard over the scanner of shots fired from a red small sedan-- possible drive by shooting near Martin Way in Lacey. At least seven 9mm casings found on the ground. Whose near? UPDATE: Ashley129 in the comments:
I live about 5 houses down from where the shooting was. I didn't even hear the gun shots. I was watching a movie fairly loud though. We don't really know much. My fiance came home from work at about 11:00 last night and they had our whole street blocked off. When he asked what happened the cops just said there was a drive by shooting and no one was hurt. We have a one year old and his bedroom is facing the street. This has me terrified! Our whole neighboorhood is full of families with small children. The house that was shot at is right next door to a daycare! Of course there is nothing in the Olympian about it today. I plan on calling the LPD to find out more.

My main man JHK confronts the "We Were Lied To" crowd in his most recent column. Read it here.
» Also: What are your plans for the weekend? What events/shows/parties do we run the risk of becoming square for missing? Why the **** is it raining like this in June? Does anybody have the inside scoop on the creperie coming soon to the corner of 4th and Franklin? HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND!!

Almost every week this is the "What's on the city council's plate this week" review. I don't cover everything, so if you want the full rundown, read the packet and agenda yourself. Pretty light schedule for the city council, so the most interesting thing I could find was a proposed $4,000 project by the East Bay Neighborhood Association to improve shoreline habitat along East Bay Drive (where else?). The assocation requested a $4,000 grant, but the city had just over $2,500 in that particular grant account. Good project, so the city wants to help out, but first the council's finance committee has to find out what particular cookie jar to pull the money out of. From the staff report:
Here's some fun reading from the neighborhood association's application:

I just got word from Molly of the Criss Cross Circus... They'll be performing at 4:30 on the Leisure Ed Stage at Super Saturday! They are traveling from Hampshire College in an old bus that runs on used vegetable oil with an eco-punk themed circus show !
