More than 60 artists have been gussying up our industrial district with some badass murals the last couple years, and they’re almost done.

Want to catch ‘em in action? Reader Gillian Peckham went on a weekend walking tour of the SODO Track project and got some amazing pics of the artwork — like the one up there from artist Elliott Routledge — ☝️ and this one, painted as she watched by artist Evah Fan. “Thank you to @the_evergrey for letting me know about this event!” Gillian wrote. You bet. It’s what we’re here for.

On that note, the next walking tour is from 12:30 to 2:30 p.m. today. You could sit indoors and work that whole time. But we can think of less colorful excuses for an outdoor lunch break. 🎨

And hey — you’ll tag #theevergrey on your adventures around town, right? You’ve built quite the collection so far, and it’s been a blast to share it out.

‘This is pretty much the worst idea ever.’ An article by a Forbes writer got torpedoed by the Internet — figuratively speaking — when everyone tore up its central premise: That Amazon should replace, um, all libraries. 😳 Seattle Times data reporter Gene Balk called it “pretty much the worst idea ever” and Sarah Anne Lloyd of Curbed Seattle rounded up some of the great things you can do for free with a Seattle Public Library card. Like stream critically-acclaimed movies at home, check out an Internet hotspot, get admission to the zoo, and practice piano. Want to read the offending article? Forbes took it down, but you can dredge it up here — and hold your nose. (Curbed Seattle)

We’ve got no chill. Hey, newcomers. Ever walk into a friend’s place on a hot day and think — holy hell, how come no one has air conditioning? You’re not crazy. About one of every three housing units in Seattle has A/C, which is way, way lower than the national average of 89 percent. There are good reasons for this. It doesn’t get as hot here as it does in other places. And using all that energy on cold air doesn’t sit well with our green culture. So how do Seattleites stay cool? We freeze our clothes, eat popsicles, become nocturnal, and do loads of other creative things Seattle Times readers confessed to here. Temps are getting up to the 90s this week, so. Good luck. ❄️ (The Seattle Times)

And Macklemore’s favorite candy is … Reese’s Pieces? We’re not sure it could be anything else after seeing this Instagram post of his land in our feeds this weekend. And speaking of Macklemore, Michael Wansley, a.k.a. @teewanz, a.k.a. the Central Washington University grad who sings the hook on the super-hit “Thrift Shop,” leads some Seattle Opera chorus stars in an almost glass-shattering version of it here.

Missed the show? Three-quarters of you joked that you felt “too old for this 💩” while you followed our Instagram story from a buzzy (and very sweaty) Capitol Hill Block Party last weekend. But here’s the good news: You can listen to local music from anywhere, the Playback tool at the library has loads of good stuff to stream, and when we asked your fellow readers which local artists they love, they came through with some awesome recs: Ben Union, Odesza, Chastity Belt, NAVVI, Tacocat, Black Stax, and Lion’s Ambition. Got more? Drop ’em here.

We’ll be asking you to vote on which question about homelessness you’d like us to report out next. And several of our local media partners will be doing the same (go team!), so keep tabs on our Facebook page. We’ll link out to their voting rounds there, too, so you can help us all decide what stories to tackle.

Stay cool, all. Somehow. 😎 — The Evergrey
