== What really killed the Egyptian- 0 ==

<html>Egyptian Theatre (Photo: Erika Schultz/The Seattle Times)
Capitol Hill is getting used to bad news.
In the past year, a handful of cherished neighborhood institutions have left, or are preparing to leave: Bauhaus Coffee, B O Espresso, the Canterbury, the Bus Stop and now add the Egyptian Theatre to the casualty list.
Landmark Theatres, which has operated the Egyptian since 1989, announced this week that it would close the art-house cinema.
As Capitol Hill gentrifies, trendy new restaurants and bars are popping up on every corner.? But the funky, older establishments that give the neighborhood its character are vanishing,[http://www.nikenfljerseys.org/ discount nfl jerseys], one by one.? As a commenter on the  article about the Egyptian s closure quipped: Will the last place with personality on Capitol Hill please turn out the lights? 
So is gentrification to blame for the loss of the Egyptian?? Apparently not.? The old Masonic Hall that houses the cinema isn t being redeveloped into some upscale mixed-use project like so much of Capitol Hill.? No, the truth may be even more difficult to swallow.

A spokesperson for Landmark Theatres told The Seattle Times: ��The Egyptian is a single-screen theater and single-screen theaters are tough to work from an economic standpoint.��
In other words, for as much as we say we love the Egyptian, we didn t fill enough seats to keep it in business.
We re actually watching more movies than ever just not in the theaters.? Movie house attendance in Seattle has been,[http://www.nikenfljerseys.org/san-diego-chargers-c-91 Nike San Diego Chargers jerseys], at best, flat.? Online viewing, on the other hand, has grown by 85 percent among city residents since 2011, according to market data firm Scarborough Research.
And as of this year, the number of Seattleites who download or stream movies has pulled even with the number who see movies in the theater, as the chart illustrates.
Overall, 29 percent of Seattleites say they ve downloaded or streamed a movie in the past 30 days.? Nationally, it s just 16 percent.
So did Netflix,[http://www.yamakan.or.jp/furukawa/2013/08/post-16.html#comments À l'approche de WPC , Microsoft est en train de fa], Hulu, and Amazon Prime kill the Egyptian?? The popularity of those services in Seattle is, most likely, cutting into the profits of all movie theaters.
But the Egyptian isn t just another movie theater.? It offers a unique film-going experience that the internet cannot match.? Quirky, vintage, alternative the Egyptian embodies the values of its Capitol Hill neighborhood.? That s why there has been such an uproar over the news of its closure.
Almost everyone agrees that the Egyptian is special.? So why didn t we go more when we had the chance?</html>

== City Council delays Klahanie annexation vote to 2014 - The I ==

<html>Should the City Council decide to put the issue of annexation to the Klahanie potential annexation area citizens, it will not happen until 2014.
During the July 1 meeting, the council passed a bill in the consent agenda that sent an official intent to annex the Klahanie PAA to the Council Land Shore Committee for review.
Contained within the agenda bill is the administration’s recommendation for adopting the resolution and mentions a later-than-expected date for a prospective vote.
“The administration recommends adoption of the resolution initiating an annexation election for the Klahanie PAA and filing of a notice of intent to annex with the King County Boundary Review Board,[http://www.nikenfljerseys.org/arizona-cardinals-c-29 Nike Arizona Cardinals jerseys],” the approved agenda bill reads. “The administration also recommends that the annexation election be held on April 2014.”
The final draft of the annexation study was presented to the council last month and this is the next stage in the city’s appraisal of whether to hold an election. The Land Shore Committee will review the resolution and return it to the full council during the July 15 regular meeting.
Though a 2013 election date was never explicitly planned,[http://www.nikenfljerseys.org/chicago-bears-c-3 Nike Chicago Bears jerseys], Mayor Ava Frisinger said that it was expected. The timing did not work out, however.
“The completion of the study and doing meaningful analysis made it very, very tight to make it on a 2013 ballot,” Frisinger said,[http://www.epress-cn.com/plus/view.php?aid=698749 Not filling each waking moment -enriching' the kid], adding that external factors also played a role. “There was also uncertainty in the state about the sales tax sharing and whether it would continue.”
She said pushing back the possible election would not cause any problems and instead provide more time for insightful consideration.
“We know that the timing would be somewhat tight,” she said. “It just took a little longer to get the documents out and to have the public meetings.”

== Sounders FC vs. Vancouver, lineups ==

<html>*???? *???? *
Welcome to BC Place, where it s a beautiful Saturday up here in Vancouver, British Columbia.
The Sounders are taking on the Whitecaps,[http://www.nikenfljerseys.org/washington-redskins-c-5 Nike Washington Redskins jerseys], resuming a rivalry that dates to 1974. Vancouver is winless, however, in the MLS era of the head-to-head series at 0-3-3.
Seattle has won six of eight coming into this one, though there are a couple injury questions coming in. Midfielder Osvaldo Alonso (quad strain) and DeAndre Yedlin (separated shoulders) are game-time decisions. I m guessing lineups will become available around 7:15-7:30 p.m.
Guys to keep an eye on in this one are Camilo and Eddie Johnson. Vancouver s Brazilian forward has scored in each of his past five games an MLS record and has six goals in Cascadia Cup meetings, the most of any active player. Seattle s star is next with five goals in seven rivalry games. Former Sounder Fredy Montero is the all-time leader at eight goals.
I ll post lineups here when they become available.
Sounders FC lineup: GK Michael Gspurning,[http://www.nikenfljerseys.org/ discount nfl jerseys], D Zach Scott, D Jhon Kennedy Hurtado, D Djimi Traore, D Leo Gonzalez, M Brad Evans, M Servando Carrasco, M Shalrie Joseph, M Lamar Neagle, F Obafemi Martins, F Eddie Johnson
Sounders FC bench: GK Marcus Hahnemann, D DeAndre Yedlin, D Patrick Ianni, D Marc Burch, M Mauro Rosales, M Andy Rose, F/M David Estrada
Whitecaps lineup: GK Brad Knighton; D Lee Young-Pyo, D Brad Rusin, D Johnny Leveron, D Jordan Harvey; M Nigel Reo-Coker, M Jun Marques Davidson, M Gershon Koffie; F Corey Hertzog, F Camilo, F Kenny Miller
Whitecaps bench: GK Joe Cannon, M Matt Watson, F Darren Mattocks, M Daigo Kobayashi, F Kekuta Manneh, F Tommy Heinemann, D Greg Klazura
NOTES: This is Sounders FC s 21st different lineup in 21 games in all competitions (MLS, U.S. Open Cup and CONCACAF Champions League). Of the two game-time decisions,[http://www.checheng.co/home.php?mod=space&uid=361923 ], Alonso is not available and Yedlin is on the bench. Also worth noting that DP Mauro Rosales was dropped to the bench. Servando Carrasco makes his 10th-straight start in MLS (he came into the year with nine career starts in two years).</html>

== Get outta town- 3 weekend ideas, from Oregon Country Fair to ==

<html>Is the  who live downstairs from you practicing for their big gig this weekend? Do you really need to get out of town? Here are three reasons to go, July 12-14:
GO SOUTH
Are you a fan of the Fremont Fair? Then you ll love the ,[http://www.nikenfljerseys.org/ discount nfl jerseys], probably the Northwest s biggest art extravaganza, music festival, free-thinker, sustainable, activist hippie love-in of the summer. Help celebrate its 44th year 
Expect masked merrymakers at the Oregon Country Fair near Eugene this weekend. (AP photo)
that takes it back to 1969, yeah that would be about right. On a wooded site near Veneta, Ore., 13 miles west of Eugene, the Country Fair is described by organizers as a time-of-your-life cultural immersion at which everyone is encouraged to dress up and you should expect parades and surprises around every bend. Plus, of course, lots of music, food vendors, arts and crafts, the Daredevil Vaudeville Palace, and enough colorful banners and flags to outfit a New Age army. It s Friday through Sunday. Tickets (off-site sales only) are $22-$28 a day, or $57 for the weekend. $8-$10/day parking.
GO SOUTH and a bit east
For art in the country with no admission fee, try , set on a 55-acre farm on the White Salmon River in bucolic Klickitat County. The festival s stated goal is to provide a venue for artists to display and sell their work in a beautiful setting with outstanding amenities including music, food, libations,[http://795803.134201.20la.com.cn/Review.asp?NewsID=719 Hockey Night in Brunei - Est LNH se mondialise -], and children��s art projects. Hard to go wrong there. It happens Saturday and Sunday.
GO NORTH
Want some real cultural potpourri? Go north of the border for a weekend of South of the Border fun. It s  in Victoria, B.C. Not only do you get a town of tourist greeters in Beefeater garb, but you can see Latin dancers and musicians, chow down on Mexican food,[http://www.nikenfljerseys.org/washington-redskins-c-5 wholesale Washington Redskins jerseys], buy from craft vendors, take a dance lesson or bash at a pinata. It starts with a dinner and show at the Victoria Event Centre at 6 p.m. Friday ($12-$15), followed by free festivities noon-5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday in Centennial Square.</html>
