'Pay by plate' will mean no more parking stickers in Seattle (and you probably still won't be able to find a spot to park at night on Capitol Hill)
Parking on Capitol Hill should be more convenient under a new "pay by plate" system coming to Seattle that will allow people to enter their license plate number to pay for parking rather than print out a sticker and put it on their window.

CHS Pics | A Capitol Hill vacation to lovely South Lake Union for 4th of July fireworks

New CHS summer intern Nick decided to take a holiday at the shore this Independence Day, joining the massive crowd at South Lake Union Park for Seattle’s big fireworks show. CHS usually visits with the crowds that gather along Capitol Hill’s I-5 Shores but new reporters at CHS sometimes bring new ways and it is probably telling that the Capitol Hill-South Lake Union border means less and less as Seattle’s central core grows. Nick found an excellent view and probably more than a few Capitol Hill faces in the crowd. Maybe CHS will make a 4th of July vacation an annual thing. If you have some Independence Day fireworks pictures to share — from Capitol Hill.. or beyond —  let us know in comments.

A new addition to the family, her personality as a people puppy is already shining through. As she lives in a house with Ebrima and Rahel and a large family, Nala doesn’t sleep much yet, which her humans hope changes soon. Give Nala a pet if you catch her on the street. Roarrrr!
