When it comes to teacher-student relations, no one is more pioneering than the state of Washington! Now, from the Washington Court of Appeals comes news that state law does not forbid sexual contact between a teacher and their 18 year old student.
In other unrelated news, I just sent in an application to be a high school teacher.

It's a Tunnel After All!
An agreement has been made, and the Alaskan Way Viaduct will be replaced by a $4.25 billion tunnel, even though the tunnel was ruled out just one month ago. The tunnel option will allow for the viaduct to remain standing while it's replacement is under construction. Also, they'll probably change their minds again. I don't have any proof or anything... it's just what they do.

The Seattle P-I is Dead
Hearst has confirmed reports that they are offering the Seattle Post-Intelligencer to the highest (or any) bidder, but they don't expect to find a buyer according to a report by KING 5. If a buyer is not found, the P-I would cease to exist as a print publication, either moving to digital distribution or closing shop entirely.
Since the P-I relies entirely on The Seattle Times for printing and distribution, the only assets available to potential buyers are a newsroom staffed with journalists and a subscriber base, which pretty much makes them undesirable.

Joseph Aqui is a Great Co-Worker. Also, He Raped 17 Women.
KIRO-FM's Dori Monson interviewed a co-worker of convicted rapist Joseph Aqui who claimed he is great and she'd feel totally comfortable being alone in a room with her. But it turns out someone else called in... one of his victims. Fortunately the woman was able to convince Aqui to leave her alone, but she was the exception, not the rule.
Meanwhile, Lake Forest Park police were kind enough to give out a current general address for Mr. Aqui.
Read their PDF here.
Lake Forest Park police would like to remind you that this information is not to be used to harass or intimidate Joseph Aqui, and that such actions won't be tolerated. And to think I was worried about who would protect us from Aqui... all this time the police were worried about protecting him from us.

Gun Sales Set to Rise in Lake Forest Park
Convicted rapist Joseph Aqui has moved to a home in Lake Forest Park, where he will be under limited (no) supervision on a daily basis. The move, recommended by DSHS, allows Aqui to live with a roommate who will monitor his movements. Unfortunately, his roommate, 64, at least occasionally sleeps away from home, and was recently arrested for domestic assault.
More disturbing, Aqui is taking the bus from his home to his workplace in Redmond, despite the fact that he committed over a dozen acts of rape against random women, some of which occurred in the early morning hours.
Meanwhile, the state hasn't even updated their sex offender database with his current location. Can we fire these idiots yet?
More from KOMO.

787 Spotted in Sri Lanka
That's right, a Boeing 787 was delivered to Mihin Lanka airlines, according to Lanka Newspapers. The airplane seats 187 passengers and is on loan from France for the next six months. Well no wonder Boeing is having so many problems with the 787. They've been building the wrong plane!State Republicans Sorely Disappointed
It turns out Governor Gregoire isn't accepting an appointment in the Obama administration. She isn't even in Washington, D.C. Apparently she is in Iraq, where she visited Washington National Guard troops. But out of curiosity, if she HAD accepted a place in the Obama cabinet, who would be our new governor? No, seriously, I'm asking because I don't know.
