Art in Pinehurst Pocket Park – for February, the month for valentines, Erika, an adult, constructed a heart in the manner of yarn art traditionally made by the Huichol people who live in Mexico. Check it out in the kiosk in the park at NE 117th St & 19th Ave NE. If your child (or you!) would like to show art in the park, contact info@PinehurstSeattle.org.
The following construction activities will be taking place over the next several weeks: I-5 express lane off-ramp (at 1st Ave NE and NE 103rd St) A long-term single-lane closure of the express lane off-ramp at 1st Ave NE and NE 103rd St will remain in effect for the next several months. One lane on the express lane off-ramp will remain open during the regularly scheduled express lane daytime hours of 8 AM to 11 PM. East side of I-5 (1st Ave NE between NE 92nd St and NE 107th St)
West side of I-5 (north side of North Seattle College and along N 100th St)
I-5 median (near the I-5 northbound express lane at NE 103rd St)
Next steps Upcoming bridge span installation over I-5: The next major milestone will be the installation of spans across I-5 in May 2021. During this work, they’ll erect 2 bridge spans; each will be assembled in the median of I-5, moved into place using self-propelled transporters, and lifted by cranes. The first set of spans will be delivered in February and the second set will arrive in March. They’ll be in touch in the coming months with information about nighttime and weekend detours related to this work. What to expect during construction

The Puppyhurst Doggo News – Puppyhurst is Our Pack
Dateline: Thursday, January 14, 2021
Yesterday, our roving rover reporter went full pupper-azzi when she found one of her favorite humans in the world at the mail boxes: the fabulous Jovie, star of mail boxes, white trucks, and crunchy dog biscuits. Jovie, a serious dog lover, knows all the doggos by name on her route and keeps special treats for them. And the doggos love her back. And not just for the treats. Puppyhurst loves the time she takes to get to know their personalities. Just driving down the street brings joy to their hearts and pups to their paws. Just listen to what West Highland White, Lexi, barked about Jovie, “I *LOVE* Jovie! She just gets me. She always has treats and takes the time to say Hi! How great is that?!”
We agree, Lexi! Thank you, Jovie, for being a superstar in our neighborhood. The dark days of winter are brighter for your being here.
 Phase Finder, the website for finding out if you’re eligible to get a covid vaccination is up and running now. It will issue you a certificate and register you if you are qualified for the current phase. Your answers are on the honor system. You can choose a place to get the vaccination, schedule an appointment and show the certificate. Looks like most places on the list are doing phase A1 & A2 vaccinations but not yet scheduling for the B1 phase. I assume more places will be put on the list as vaccinations ramp up, such as the city sites. I know someone in B1 who was approved today (January 18) but wasn’t able to schedule an appointment nearby. It will get easier and more available soon. https://www.doh.wa.gov/Youa…/Immunization/VaccineLocations.
Recently SPD lost the equivalent of the total number of officers in ours, the north precinct. Many were through retirement, but also some far younger officers left. SPD is collaborating with city council and the mayor to reimagine policing, but it’s important that there be enough patrol officers to handle 911 calls. City council allocated some budget for hiring officers to fill that critical need. The challenging issues of homelessness are no longer in SPD’s purview (except for crime). The city is working up plans for how other departments and organizations can take over this work. You can read the minutes here. Happy New Year! To start the year off with a bang, January’s art in Pinehurst Pocket Park is a beautiful, fierce eagle drawn by 9 year old Dominic. Thanks, Dominic, for this wonderful addition to the park! View the art and stroll around our little pocket gem at the NE corner of 19th Ave NE & NE117th St. Dominic is a student of artist Victoria Raymond, who offers art lessons in her Pinehurst studio for both youth and adults. http://victoriaraymond.com
If your child (or you!) would like to show art in the park, contact info@PinehurstSeattle.org. Winter Season – Hounds and Hygge
Dateline: Monday, December 28, 2020
On her walk through rare December sunshine, Puppyhurst Doggo News rover reporter, Ceiba Bunny, met up with Harvey, age 4, an athletic Mini Aussie. This lovely floofy fellow came to live in Puppyhurst as a pupper and enjoys walking the neighborhood. But his real passion is for frisbee. As a triathlete with energy to spare, he loves frisbee, and the agility course, and jumping. But he can be a hard worker, too. Before the pandemic, he went to work with his human mom where he would spend time with other working doggos. This gave him lots of time to learn to socialize with others and hone his serious side. Alas, Harvey will be moving to Madrona soon, but as much as he will miss his neighborhood, he is looking forward to the adventure. “I love to go to new places and meet new people, so this will be no problem!” Harvey woofed. He told Ceiba, “I have an older cat brother, and I think I can help him get comfortable with the new place. It’s what you do for people you love.”
No matter where you go, Harvey, you will always be part of the Puppyhurst pack!
Investigators determined that it was arson. Seattle Fire estimates the loss is about $2.7 million. Seattle Police Arson and Bomb Squad will follow up to investigate, and the suspects are still outstanding. Anyone with information should call Seattle Police.
