Announcements:

Daily, throughout April, 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Afterward, you might want to head over to Broadway & Pine where Jimi in bronze forever wields his axe. If you have time and want to make a whole Jimi day of it, drive out to Jimi Hendrix Memorial Park in Renton.

In other news, the Seattle Police Department has advised that calls to report bear sightings, coyote sightings, or any other wild animal sightings could deliver a death sentence for that creature. Settle animal control will no longer risk the deadly attempts to capture and release.

Tuesday: A high-speed chase of bank robbery suspects played out through Seattle neighborhoods and downtown Tuesday, leaving many residents to wonder if it was real or if they were merely witnessing the latest movie filming to be done in the Emerald City. By the time the chase and gunfire had stopped, one suspect had been critically wounded, and likely wishing he were only an actor in the all too real scene. Fortunately, no one else was seriously hurt.

Wednesday Open Mike Night at The Barking Spider, Wednesdays at 8:30 p.m. Welcome Musicians, comedians, spoken word, magicians, etc. Sign-up from 6-8 p.m. If Virtual Talent is more your style, head on over to The Spectator Bar and Grill for their weekly Guitar Hero II competition at 9 p.m.

Thursday: A man accused of stabbing and beating the woman who lived across the hall from his Seattle apartment was charged with second-degree murder. While there are currently no other suspects in the case, Seattle Police continue to question the uneasy neighbors. The weapon has yet to be recovered and some witnesses claim the woman was killed by a bear. When pressed however, they could give no details, and some even insisted it was a wolf, or even an entire pack of wolves. With such "cooperation", it's unlikely questioning will continue much longer.

Friday: The "cold case" shooting of a man at a Pioneer Square bar back in 1969 was finally wrapped up, when a 69-year-old longtime criminal was sentenced for the killing. In an unrelated story, a woman was stabbed to death Thursday in an apartment in the Central District, and a man was jailed in the killing, police said.

Saturday: The Magnolia branch of the Seattle Public Library will reopen to the public at a celebration this Saturday.

Sunday: About 400,000 spectators turned out downtown for the annual Gay Pride Parade held for the third time in downtown Seattle rather than its traditional home on Capitol Hill, which, according to some estimates, was roughly 170,000 more than attended last year's parade.

Théâtre du Macabre presents Blood Squad Lives. Live improvised horror skits with suggestions from the audience. Sundays at 3 p.m.
