While continuing to put together the WSB take on 2010’s top 10 stories (coming up later), we came across three that seemed to deserve a retrospective all their own – the three offbeat stories covered here in 2010.
#3 – The Westwood Village Target flash mob:
It happened in August – here’s our original story, as a Vashon-based political-action group chose West Seattle’s target for a musical political protest.
#2 – The floating cow off Alki:
This happened in March – here’s our original story. A TV crew following up on our first report knocked on doors in the area and finally turned up the neighbors who ‘fessed up.
#1 – SDOT’s first hacked signboard in years:
This happened in September – here’s our original story. The sign near 18th and Dawson was restored to its original message within about five hours of our report; SDOT said it was the first time in three years one of their signs had been, shall we say, reprogrammed without authorization.
