I went for a run tonight and wound around the streets on and between 15th & 19th. Is it just me, or does it seem like a number of streetlights are out? I know folks brought up how to efficiently report and replace burnt-out streetlights after the Harps' murder, but I forget exactly how to go about making a request to get them fixed.

Beyond the dark and creepy factor, there are stretches where it's plain old dangerous to walk/run because it's too dark to see the uneven sidewalks.

Is there an easy process for reporting this - and a promised turnaround time, ala potholes?

Or is this some energy-saving initiative and I should just start wearing a really good headlamp?

I need suggestions from you smart and saavy Hill people.

I need to find meeting space for an LGBT business group (501c3) on Capitol Hill to hold around 30 people. It needs to be free or cheap.

We've been meeting at the awesome 2100 Building http://2100building.com/) off of Rainier, but the feedback I've been getting is that it is just too far removed from the Hill.

Does anyone have any suggestions?
