KOMO - Seattle, WA : Drivers pleads guilty in hit-and-run crash that killed cyclist | Local & Regional | Seattle News, We

I don't think 41 months is enough either. But for someone who was coward enough to not ever come clean, I'm somewhat pleasantly surprised he pleaded guilty.

But if she had said "shut up and learn to drive #asians" would that have been okay? ;)

They haven't. Being a good role model means getting alcohol.

I thought the title was a typo at first. Unfortunately, they've got the worst mexican food I've ever had.

To those TD'ing this response, it's actually correct. This area has a vast amount of beetle kill (dead trees) that the Feds haven't let get cleared out. With such a large amount of dead, dry wood, this fire was inevitable.

KOMO - Seattle, WA : Orbitz toying with showing different deals on Macs vs. PC users | Technology | Seattle News, Weather

"The average Mac desktop costs almost three times as much as its Microsoft Windows counterpart" Completely false. Take a Mac desktop, and spec a PC with the same hardware/features and you'll see they cost about the same. The difference is, there's a lot of PCs with lower end hardware and there aren't many Macs with that.

Wow, so sad. It's not like there isn't a continual stream of flights from Denver to COS. As soon as Delta knew they were in Denver, they should have been on the next flight to COS.

Hey KOMO, how about trying to write a complete story? Looks like the commenters here have more info on this story than you do.

KOMO - Seattle, WA : Seattle residents will foot the bill for new anti-pollution plan | Local & Regional | Seattle News,

"Seattle currently uses an antiquated system where pipes carry both sewage and stormwater." "and once again Seattle is leading the way," said Ecology Director Ted Sturdevant." Sorry, but if our system is comparatively "antiquated", then whatever we do next is not "leading the way."

Common problem with Japanese vehicles. I've used a Subaru key to start a Datsun. I've seen Honda keys open and start different Hondas.

KOMO - Seattle, WA : Man sells car 18 years ago, then gets charged for its tolls across 520 | Problem Solvers | Seattle N

Tue, 1 May 2012 05:22:50 +0000

"Our system is actually 99.9% accurate," That's not accurate enough. According to http://www.wsdot.wa.gov/News/2011/12/22_TollingOn... "More than 100,000 vehicles use the bridge each day." So that .1% is 100 screw ups a day, times 365 days a year... 36,500... That's simply not an acceptable screw up rate.

21 sister cities? There's got to be some brother cities too. Are they from polygamy or from concubines?

Yes, that's in the first sentence of the article. I'm just pointing out the article refers to her as both "she" and "he".

Depends on if the company advertises with KOMO or not. I contacted them a few years back and was told they wouldn't do anything about it because they wouldn't want to upset their advertiser.

Sad that putting his face into buttocks gets the headline but child molestation does not. Not that the former is okay at all, but child molestation is so much worse.

KOMO - Seattle, WA : More women vets are homeless, but resources are scarce | National & World News | Seattle News, Weath

Go to the VA, apply for a housing voucher. Go find a place that takes section 8 vouchers. Problem solved. Even if it's been decades since service, a vet can still get housing. I know people doing this. The problem is if you're alcoholic or drug addict, your case worker isn't going to let you keep the voucher. Trying to blame the Navy for alcoholism is just a really cheap attempt at pointing fingers. I know people who've served long periods in the military and never drank any alcohol. There's also plenty of programs to help vets get clean. That said, those programs usually only last a few months, or up to a max of a year. If you can't get clean by then or get kicked out before then, then yeah, you're out on the street.
