OneBusAway releases a native iPhone app
If you live in Seattle and ride the bus, you want this app. It's kind of magic how well it works, providing real time data about when your bus is going to actually show up, instead of just when it's supposed to.

I, for one, am SHOCKED to learn that the crappy condo conversions popping up all over town aren't holding up
The average cost of repairs is more than $30,000 per unit. Meanwhile, asshole developers made a killing by reducing the number of rental units. It's a lose/lose!

Assuming you live in Chicago, Seattle or San Francisco. Hopefully Portlanders Waxy and Mathowie will trek north when they come to Seattle, I can't imagine a celebration of the meme without at least one of those guys.

Seattle startup weekend fails to jump regulations hurdle
Turns out that you can't issue shares in a company without first filing with a regulatory body, like the SEC. Curious to know if they actually built anything, though.

Seattlest has a pretty good primer on how to caucus this year
Washington screwed everything up - main points: if a Democrat, you have to caucus because the DNC is counting primary votes. You can register to vote onsite. If you've moved since the last time, go to the polling place for your new address.

The Seattle Times has a great article about how other cities deal with noisy neighborhoods
Pay attention to the chart at the bottom - shockingly, Seattle doesn't even bother with measuring the noise level, yet they simply side with developers and yuppie condo owners who don't like the fact that they overpaid for a place right downtown.

What happens if you get called in for cheating the HOV lane in Seattle
