UPDATE 8:20 AM: Snow started falling on Capitol Hill and across the Seattle area just after 8 AM with temperatures hovering around 33 F. For now, sticking mostly to parked cars, grass, and trees, the snow hasn’t yet completely snarled the morning commute. Metro reports “normal” operations at this time. Have pictures? Let us see.

Here are a couple CHS pages you might find useful this week:

UPDATE: 2:50 PM: There’s a chance Tuesday morning could be cold and messy:

Forecasters say we could see a more significant snowfall later this week before it all turns to rain by Thursday afternoon:

  • Wednesday Night: Snow likely, mainly after 4am. Mostly cloudy, with a low around 28. Chance of precipitation is 60%. Little or no snow accumulation expected.
  • Thursday: Rain and snow likely, becoming all rain after 10am. Cloudy, with a high near 40. Chance of precipitation is 70%. Little or no snow accumulation expected.

Found pianos of Capitol Hill

Posted on by

I was walking through Capitol Hill, Seattle one weekend, and encountered an abandoned piano at the side of the road. I decided it needed a final piece of loving, so I recorded it in my phone. The next week I found the piano had been joined by a second, and both pianos had had their keyboards smashed. So I played the strings directly. Both pieces reflect the decay and misuse of the pianos, and the environment they spent a short time in before going to their final resting place.

We don’t know anything more about it than what we found here where you can download both tracks — One piano with working keys and One piano with destroyed keys — of this very Capitol Hill music project.
