@EmwrtrErica @WritersDetctive We apologize. The link was correct in the Feb 1 newsletter but somehow got corrupted in the reminder. Missed you there.

@PugetSoundSinC @WritersDetctive Would have loved to see it but the link was incorrect and the correct one came in too late.

Thank you @WritersDetctive Adam Richardson for your generosity of spirit last night. And, thanks to everyone for coming out for Adam's professional insights and personal sharing. A valuable experience and a great evening.

A perfect sentiment. Happy Valentines Day. Our March 9, 7 PM event for Puget Sound Sisters in Crime chapter members is all about poison.

@carablack is coming to @ThirdPlaceBooks on March 28th. #Seattle

@CritesMartha And 520 opened without warning in the 80s - causing a car accident. Seattle’s bridges have had plenty of faults, including the recent several days that the University bridge was stuck open. Is Washington State alone in these bridge issues?!

@CritesMartha I90 sank in 1990 - apt timing but not good. Galloping_Gertie is another famous bridge failure. youtu.be/y0xohjV7Avo
