Only in Seattle…

I finally verified a rumor I heard this morning…tracking it down in a Komo article:

…police say the scene was very peaceful, and when the party began to wane, people grabbed brooms and starting sweeping up the mess, with officers thanking them as they drove through.

Let’s have a huge party, drink in the streets, crowd surf, hug everyone, then clean up after ourselves! No one was arrested and the parties were peaceful. Go figure. I love you Seattle.

    ….

    Where did they get the brooms?

    Sorry, that’s one of those questions that’s just going to bug me.

    You stay classy, Seattle.

    I’m wondering the same thing, but there are a lot of residences and businesses there…it could be that the clubs (Neighbors, King Cobra or whatever it’s called, Shell…)could have supplied brooms and trash bags.

    Oh, true, true.

    I just had images of a musical (and not because it’s cap hill, but because I love musicals) where, otu of the blue, everyone breaks into synchronized dance..
