The mysterious green stripe on 41st SW, north of Admiral Way, has been refreshed for St. Patrick’s Day 2017. (Thanks to Trish for the tip!) Our calendar preview for today/tonight includes a few opportunities for the wearing of the green:

SEATTLE POLICE PIPES AND DRUMS: Their citywide St. Patrick’s Day tour includes a 5:15 pm stop at Providence Mount St. Vincent. (4831 35th SW)

MOVIE NIGHT AT HPIC: At Highland Park Improvement Club tonight:

Doors open at 6:00 pm with a children’s short at 6:15 and the main movie at 7. Free admission. Volunteers will be selling popcorn, candy, and other movie fare. Bring blankets and pillows or sit in our chairs. This is an all-ages event. Bring your friends, family, and neighbors.

Double Feature! Short movie hint: Space-age fun with George and Jane and Judy and Elroy and don’t forget Astro! Feature movie hint: 2005 G (1 hr 25 minutes). In this British stop-motion animated comedy, a man and his loyal dog set out to discover the garden sabotage that plagues their village and threatens the annual giant vegetable growing contest.

    The shamrock, a national symbol of Ireland, is 3-leafed, not 4.

    We didn’t call it a shamrock. And since the mystery painters have never come forward publicly, we don’t know their intent either. Perhaps they wanted it to be a “four-leaf clover” …

    I just like the fact for the 20 years I’ve lived here this stripe o’ green always shows up. Thanks to those who do it.

    Does anyone know how this originated and why?

    Wallace and Gromit?

    I know who used to do the famous one going up the counterbalance from bottom to top of Queen Anne hill back years ago, every year…  And I’m NOT telling!!! (Heehee!!) That’s part of the fun, it’s a secret! 🍀🍀🍀

      I know, and there are so few secrets any more … at least, good ones.

    I think it’s a designated greenway route

      Ha! That would be synergy.

Sorry, comment time is over.
