Its good to know your enemy

It's an amazing day to learn about these wall-crawling wonders!🕷️

Did you know that all spiders make silk, but not all of them make webs? Only about half known spider species catch prey with webs. Others actively hunt or wait for prey to come to them.

Have you seen any of these common spiders in around your Big Backyard or friendly neighborhood? Let us know!

“Say it. Out loud. Say it!”... CLOSURES.

That’s right, we’ve got a couple of Halloween weekend full closures on the horizon. Northbound I-5 in Seattle and southbound I-405 in Bothell. But don’t worry, boo. There’s more to this story than a couple of closures.

HERE’S WHAT’S COMING:

SEATTLE: NB I-5 will CLOSE between I-90 and NE 45th Street from 11:59 p.m. Friday, Oct. 30, to 5 a.m. Monday, Nov. 2. Adjacent ramps and lanes will start to close as early as 9 p.m. Friday.

Now for the good part! Crews are removing the Revive I-5: Ship Canal Bridge work zone. That means when Monday morning rolls around, ALL FOUR northbound lanes across the bridge will be open again, and the express lanes will return to normal operations. No tricks, just a pretty great treat after months of construction.

Of course, no good Halloween movie is complete without a sequel. We’ll start work on southbound I-5 in early 2027, but that’s a story for another day.

BOTHELL: SB I-405 will CLOSE between SR 527 and SR 522 from 10 p.m. Friday to 4 a.m. Monday. A detour will be in place, and adjacent ramps also will close.

Crews will use this closure to open up space to widen I-405 through Bothell and build a new bus rapid transit station in the center of the freeway.

Don’t be the character in the horror movie who ignores all the warning signs. We all know how that ends. Check the real-time travel map, expect delays and plan accordingly.

From phantom ships carrying enslaved people to an apparition in a Maine lake, ghost stories have revived memories of injustices that might otherwise have been forgotten. https://theconversation.com/ghost-stories-dont-just-scare-us-they-remind-us-of-historical-injustices-293080

Too smart. Too opinionated. Too independent. The kind of woman who, a few centuries ago, would have been called a witch. Today, we prefer to call her an inspiration.

----

The women accused of witchcraft, from Europe to colonial America, were disproportionately the ones who stood apart -- the unmarried, the outspoken, the healers, the women who lived outside a man’s control. For readers who want to explore how that history still shapes the way strong women are seen today, we recommend:

For a sharp, fiery exploration of why the witch hunts targeted the independent, the childless, and the elderly woman -- and why women fitting those same descriptions are still on trial today -- we recommend Mona Chollet's "In Defense of Witches: The Legacy of the Witch Hunts and Why Women Are Still on Trial" at https://bookshop.org/a/8011/9781250894878 (Bookshop) and https://link.amazon/B0cTNm0iF (Amazon)

For a witty and furious history of the Scottish witch trials, we recommend "How to Kill a Witch: The Patriarchy's Guide to Silencing Women" at https://bookshop.org/a/8011/9781464241253 (Bookshop) and https://amzn.to/4AH7duz (Amazon)

In "The First Witch of Boston," Andrea Catalano tells the true story of Margaret Jones, the healer and midwife hanged in 1648 as colonial Massachusetts’s first executed ‘witch’ -- a bold, independent woman ahead of her time at https://bookshop.org/a/8011/9781662526008 (Bookshop) and https://link.amazon/B08TF8CRM (Amazon)

For a Newbery Award-winning novel about a teen girl who stands up against witch hysteria and mob mentality in early colonial America, we highly recommend “The Witch of Blackbird Pond” for ages 9 and up at https://www.amightygirl.com/the-witch-of-blackbird-pond

For an excellent book about an 11-year-old girl who leads the drive to build a memorial to women accused of witchcraft in her Scottish town, we recommend "A Kind of Spark" for ages 9 and up at https://www.amightygirl.com/kind-of-spark
