A soggy Saturday pile of Capitol Hill linkage for your clicking enjoyment here. You're welcome. Oh, btw, if you ever have a tip and don't feel like posting, drop us a line and give CHS the scoop. Have a great weekend!

• Coastal Kitchen doesn't need this kind of marketing help. Seattlest eats crepe, is not impressed.
