You're invited to an open house for the Maple Leaf Reservoir Park project on December 15th from 6:30 - 8 p.m. at Olympic View Elementary.

The purposed of this meeting is for Parks and Rec to "answer questions and provide information on the scope and schedule for this project."

Seattle Public Utilities is covering all the reservoirs in the city to improve water quality, increase security and provide new public open space on the reservoir lids.

When the reservoir is covered, it will add more than a dozen acres to the Maple Leaf Playground and fields.

There will be a series of meetings early next year to get ideas for park design.

Seattle Police detectives are looking for Shane Carlson, 26, in connection with a string of dental/medical office burglaries.

Carlson is the prime suspect for the crimes, the majority of which have happened in North Seattle and West Seattle.  

Offices in Bothell, Shoreline and Bellevue have also been hit in the last six months.

Carlson has a scar on his face and tattoos on his left shoulder, upper left arm and back.

He may be driving a 1998 Range Rover or a champagne-colored 2001 Cadillac DeVille.

If you have any information on his where-abouts, call (206) 233-7830 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).

The rush is on.

Northgate Mall will be open from 5:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m the day after Thanksgiving.

To make your shopping a bit sweeter - Hershey's will be handing out samples of Bliss Chocolates at the entrances. Yummo!

A month after arson damaged Greenwood's Taproot Theatre, the company is bouncing back with its production of It's a Wonderful Life at the Stage One Theatre at North Seattle Community College.

Opening night is tomorrow - and it runs through December 30th.
