We’re looking forward to the Rainier Avenue light rail station that will be part of the East Link project. The station will be at I-90, between Rainier and 23rd Avenue South. This will be fairly accessible to folks on Northeast Beacon Hill and in the Atlantic area — Central District News
The full City Council has approved the streetcar expansion plan. This could be useful to us on Beacon Hill, as we’ll be easily able to transfer from light rail to lines such as the line to Capitol Hill from the International District. The light rail will eventually go to Capitol Hill, too, but the streetcar will be done sooner. (But if it’s not going to be faster than the bus, I won’t be happy. Dedicated lane, please.) — Seattle Transit Blog
The Wing Luke Asian Museum down in the International District is presenting a traveling multimedia exhibit, Still Present Pasts: Korean Americans and the â€œForgotten Warâ€ , from December 14 – May 17. There is a members’ opening reception this Saturday, December 13, at 1:00 pm. — Northwest Asian Weekly
While browsing the Times‘ online archives, I found a 1988 interview with one of Beacon Hill’s most famous (former) residents, Lynda Barry, whose first play, The Last House, was then about to premiere at the Pioneer Square Theater — Seattle Times
