Queen Anne

So whenever you are, hi, Randy.

We were living in Queen Anne in Seattle at the time, and we were so shit-faced this one day.

It was after we were watching a sports game.

We went to a bar with friends.

Five to seven restaurants that have duck breast on the menu, and none of them compare to this.

How to Cook a Wolf in Queen Anne was pretty damn close, but the best was this restaurant in South Park.

Were you just eating duck like a couple times a week to do this review?

I ate there four times.

That's Sacagawea in northeast Seattle, San Islo near Delridge and Stevens on Capitol Hill.

Other schools in Rainier Beach, Queen Anne, Lake City and more are listed as possibly in line to close and merge with larger schools.

Superintendent Ben Scholdener, who you just heard earlier on our show, says meetings with staff, teachers and parents are going to happen over the next several weeks before a formal plan will be presented to the school board.

And then there will be this 60 day window for public discussion there.

Seattle.

They're like, No, you should say you went from Snoqualmie Pass to Kent to Seattle to no, I go No, I like for a fact I like to say, so calling pass to Kent, Kent to Seattle, Seattle to North Bend, North Bend to Snoqualmie Pass, Snoqualmie Pass to Queen Anne, Queen Anne back to Snoqualmie Pass.

That was my day yesterday.

That is a crazy amount of driving.

Okay, so, well, I played a little John Prine tribute down in the Cité.

Yeah, that was super fun.

Over at Chris's place, Old Stove Brewery in Queen Anne.

So I got to see that cute little place.

Seattle's promoters once claimed the city was built on seven hills, like Rome.

There was First Hill, Beacon Hill, Capitol Hill, Mount Baker, Denny Hill, which was sluiced away to make room for more expansion, Yesler's Hill, and Queen Anne Hill.

where some early millionaires grabbed the best views.

Now this little geography lesson is by way of introducing a case that began the afternoon of October 15th, 1953, when I rang the doorbell of an old home on West Lee Street, near the top of Queen Anne Hill.

It was one of those big frame houses with three stories, gabled roof, dormer windows, everything that spelled money around the turn of the century.

The old place had been preserved pretty well down through the years, but now it was showing signs of neglect, like its maintenance man had gone.

Harry Nile will return in a minute.

And now, back to the adventures of Harry Nile.
