Here's "the situation: "west of 24th (but east of 19th) those whose homes on Galer face south (meaning their front doors face south) are indeed oriented to Cap. Hill more than to Montlake. You can imagine they are looking toward, or further up, Capitol Hill. BUT, their back-fence neighbors, just north of them and whose homes sit "high up" above the street Crescent Drive, ARE ORIENTED TO MONTLAKE. Indeed, a surprising number of the homeowners used to live IN MONTLAKE. Every home as just described, plus the homes NORTH of Crescent Drive, should be thought of as "in Montlake," just as much as the properties east of 24th now are !! In case this isn't clear, I'm advocating for ALL the homes situated roughly surrounding "Peach Court." All of 'em, from 19th to 24th. In addition, I'll bet you the residents having house numbers that are (probably) in the 1500s, along E. Interlaken Blvd. likely regard their properties and themselves as being in Montlake. Same for the 2 homes at/near the north end of Interlaken Drive E. They are NOT particularly close to Capitol Hill for affinity or affiliation purposes. It is also true that some Seattle residents who live near 26 Ave. E. and E. Lee St. have affiliated with the Montlake Community Club.

This info should be updated, as Fuel exists there now and the current library exists on the west side of 24th. “… a constant favorite has been Seattle Public Librarys (sic) Montlake Station, currently housed in what used to be Royal Drug, where ice cream sodas once rivaled prescriptions in popularity.” This info should be updated, as Fuel exists there now and the current library exists on the west side of 24th.

It was parked on the corner of 20th and E. Lynn. Although the windows are tinted, in bright sunshine one can see through them. A small suitcase intended for Goodwill was taken through a smashed back window. A sleeping bag was not taken. This is a reminder to the neighbors that they should not leave anything inside their vehicles. The VW van belonging to a friend was broken into between about 9 and 11 on Wednesday, Jan. 25.

The Friendly Earth people sent us a press release last month with the date as the 8th, but you're right: Both their website and St. Joe's site now say the 9th. I'll update the article accordingly.
