Lost dog in aisle 3: Pooch found near Trader Joe’s [HAPPY UPDATE]

UPDATE (Saturday, 12:27PM): Just received word from Patrick that the cute pooch’s owner has been found!

I wanted everyone to know that through the power of technology (microchip inserted in the dog), the internet and all of your participation we were able to reunite the dog we found with its owner (in less than 24 hours!)

Good work, everyone.

My wife and I just found a small male dog down near the Roosevelt Trader Joe’s [4555 Roosevelt Way NE] at 4pm Friday 13th. He had no collar but is clearly someone’s pet. He’s well mannered and responds to people.

If this is your dog, or you know who he belongs to, contact me at rebecca@ravennablog.com. I’ll put you in contact with the kind folks who’ve picked up your pooch.

Thank you to Patrick for the email and the picture.

P.S. This is Patrick. He’s an artist. I am really enjoying looking at his work.

See the Roosevelt High School Jazz Band perform in NYC today and Saturday, LIVE

UPDATE 11:46AM – The Roosevelt High School Jazz Band is performing last today, and the Mountlake Terrace High School Jazz Band will be last tomorrow (Saturday). The full schedule is here.

The webcast will be available for viewing after the fact (says the MC on the live feed just now), so if you miss RHS’s or MTHS’s performances today, you can catch them again later. I will post the links when they are available.

Our local news partners, the Seattle Times, have reporter Paul De Barros in New York City covering the The 16th Annual Essentially Ellington Competition & Festival. Two local bands are performing in it this year: The Mountlake Terrace High School Jazz Band, and the Roosevelt High School Jazz Band.

Thanks to the miracle of modern technology, we’ll be able to see these bands perform without traveling thousands of miles (or even getting out of our chairs).
