Graduations:Novelist David Guterson tells the kids of Roosevelt High School to get over their narcissism and find true happiness in selfless acts. And he got booed for it. Lucky class of ’13.
Trends:A new reason to go to Starbucks: The “Death Cafe” movement. Ask your barista if they’ll serve you a memento mori mochaccino.
Crime:When it comes to tracking a stolen iPad in Mountlake Terrace, the cops chose to protect the rights of the burglar over those of the victim.
