In-Studio performance at KSUB (Image: KSUB with permission to CHS)
Nestled under the concrete of the Seattle University campus, the student-run radio station KSUB is about to expand its presence to a radio wavelength covering most of Capitol Hill
A low powered FM license issued recently by the Federal Communications Commission will allow KSUB volunteers to turn their focus towards adding new equipment, raising funds, as well as grabbing permits to get the operation running.
“We don’t know when the station will become operational. Probably a year,” said KSUB advisor and mathematics instructor John Carter. KSUB will look to add new in-studio equipment to buoy the frequency created by a radio tower and transmitter slated for the SU campus. Continue reading

At 5,700 square feet, Paul Reder’s next project is massive by Capitol Hill standards but puny compared the amazing feat of food and drink entrepreneurism he pulled off when he took over a failed Planet Hollywood and transformed into his successful downtown Seattle beer and eats concept Tap House Grill. Still, Reder doesn’t want to arrive on the Hill by knocking aside what is already here.
“We’re conscious of that,” Reder told CHS last week. “You don’t want to look like some corporate 800 pound gorilla.”
Reder’s Stout will be a beer-focused restaurant in the giant 11th Ave commercial space inside the new (and old) Sunset Electric building kitty-corner to Cal Anderson and on the edge of the bustling core of the Pike/Pine nightlife, food, drink, and entertainment district. Stout will feature the best in Pacific Northwest beer as well as regional specials from around the country. Food will be accessible and the venue, Reder hopes, will cater to regulars and locals much more than his Tap House venue. Continue reading

You might scoff at Capitol Hill’s abundant “preservation” development projects when you see the thin brick facades that end up getting preserved. But if the newly opened Sunset Electric apartment building at 11th and Pine is any indication of preservation projects to come, saving seemingly superficial portions of “character structures” can translate into something more substantial.
Sunset Electric is one of the first major projects to open in Pike/Pine that used the city’s 2009 preservation incentive program, which allowed Sunset’s developers to build a fifth floor of residential units in exchange for keeping parts of the original 1926-built facade and maintaining parts of the old’s building’s internal dimensions.
It’s been a tough year for local businesses with legendary establishments like Piecora’s, the Canterbury Pub, the Bagel Deli and the Comet all either closing down or under-going such transformation as to make them unrecognizable.
Cappy’s Boxing Gym, a landmark business in the Central District for the past 15 years has launched a campaign to keep its doors open. More than just a boxing gym, Cappy’s is the kind of business that cares for its clients, empowers its employees and invests in the community. They call it their signature 1-2-3 punch combination.
We all say we support local businesses, now is our chance to put our money where our mouth is. Check out Cappy’s indiegogo campaign and make a donation today. www.savecappys.com.
It’s been a decade in the making, but the city is finally ready to replace Capitol Hill’s cramped and crumbling Seattle Fire Department Station 22.
Back in 2003 Seattle voters approved a $167 million levy to repair or rebuild the city’s 32 neighborhood fire stations (although the final budget has nearly doubled since then – PDF). After 50 years of service, the permits are in to demolish Capitol Hill’s little northern fire department outpost at 10th and Roanoke.
Station 22 currently houses the department’s incident response team as well as Engine 22. The new $11.7 million station, to be built at the same busy intersection, will continue to house both units in a larger space. Continue reading
SPD assists a man who had fallen and passed out along Broadway during a CHS “ride along” with an East Precinct officer Saturday night, May 24. CHS will use the experience to — hopefully — bring you even more accurate coverage of policing in the neighborhood.
Last week at the May meeting of the East Precinct Advisory Council, newly nominated Chief of Police Kathleen O’Toole wasn’t commander Capt. Pierre Davis’s main topic of conversation. Nor were the latest series of shakeups in SPD brass. Instead, the community focused meeting took aim at car theft while explaining the background of 911 call centers and airing feedback from community members about recent criticism of the precinct’s investigations of recent Central District violence.
“I know our homicide detectives are doing a diligent job,” said Capt. Davis said about criticism that police aren’t doing enough to find the perpetrators of recent gun violence in the Central District. Davis also refuted the contention that the detective did not conduct extensive door to door interviews following a recent shooting.

The last in a series of community workshops to help plan the new bike share program coming to Seattle this fall will be conveniently scheduled for anybody with some lunch free-time this week on Capitol Hill.
Representatives from Pronto Puget Sound Bike Share will be at Seattle Central Tuesday to talk about the program — and where the share’s stations will be located. “This will be the final opportunity for public input on station locations prior to our Fall launch,” Pronto’s Holly Houser writes, “so it’s important that we hear from as many people as possible.”
You can also weigh in on the station locations here. Below is a map showing the many places people have suggested stations (green), the places where stations are considered “viable” (blue), and the places in the top 10 of all location votes (red).
The Pronto community workshop is scheduled for Tuesday, May 27 at noon in Seattle Central room 1100.

One person was injured when a car was sent careening onto the sidewalk at Pike and Broadway in a multiple-car collision just after midnight early Monday.
Blocks around the scene were shut to automobile traffic while Seattle Police investigated the 12:11 AMÂ collision.
We do not have any details on what lead to the crash that caused the car to end up in front of the Harvard Market QFC. All details at this point are from police and Seattle Fire radio dispatches. The streets of Pike/Pine were still busy with late night revelers and the QFC was open and full of shoppers at the time of collision.
The victim was taken to the hospital by a friend and was reported to have suffered a leg injury after being struck by the car.
UPDATE 5/27/14: According to SPD reports on the just after midnight incident, the driver of the car that ended up on the sidewalk and struck the pedestrian was taken into custody for investigation of DUI and assault after he allegedly punched or pushed a bystander attempting to keep him from leaving the scene.
SPD investigators report that the limousine-style vehicle that ended up crunched against QFC was being driven south on Broadway toward E Pike when the driver told police he sped up “trying to beat the light.” Police say the driver ran a solid red light and struck with the second car before veering onto the “very crowded” sidewalk “full of bar patrons” in front of the northeast entrance of the Harvard Market QFC.
The car struck at least one person as she stood on the sidewalk. The female victim suffered a leg injury that was treated at the scene by Seattle Fire before friends took the victim to a nearby hospital for further treatment. The driver in the other vehicle was not seriously injured.
According to the report, a bystander saw the driver of the limo-style vehicle get out of the car following the crash and attempted to stop him thinking the man might be preparing to flee. The driver then allegedly pushed the man but officers had already arrived on the scene.
Police say the driver smelled of alcohol and had red and watery eyes. He was arrested and booked for suspicion of drunk driving and assault.
