I am never in Tukwila but I’ll have to stop by if I am ever in the south to check out this Starbucks in shipping containers. (Caffe Fiore is still the best!)

via latimes: In Seattle, work starts on “greenest” office building: It’ll be six stories, but expectations are sky-high. The Bullitt Center — which eventually will use only its own rainwater, generate its own power and compost its own sewage — is the first big office building designed to carry its own environmental weight.

I am excited for these living buildings but the true challenge is transitioning exsisting buildings become living buildings. Anyone up for the challenge?

The Longest Dictatorship in the World is Brought Down to its Knees
“This development, with the capital creating its own nationalist mythos of revolutionary participation, is the very best thing that could have happened. Instead of being liberated (and somewhat subjected) from the outside by Berber or Cyrenaican revolutionaries, Tripoli enters the Second Republic with its own uprising to its name, as a full equal able to gain seats on the Transitional National Council once the Qaddafis and their henchmen are out of the way. There will be no East/West divide. My hopes for a government of national unity as the last phase of the revolution before parliamentary elections now seem more plausible than ever. Tellingly, Tunisia and Egypt both recognized the TNC as Libya’s legitimate government through the night, as the Tripoli uprising unfolded. Regional powers can see the new Libya being born.”
Libya.. you’ve fought hard. A great day to celebrate.
