First things first: Nothing’s final yet. Developers filed their plans to build that skyscraper, but the process can take a while.

“That means there will be plenty of time for people who love the Showbox to try to petition the city to save the theater,” writes The Stranger’s Lester Black.

And locals are on it. A Change.org petition started yesterday to make the Showbox a historical landmark had 22,000 signatures this morning.

“It is home to the first stage I ever stepped on with a band and performed at,” wrote the petition’s creator, Jay Middleton. “You can feel the energy when you walk inside of it. I know for a fact I alone am not the only musician, comedian, and or performer who can say that.”

On Twitter and Reddit, Showbox fans are sharing another tip — to email Sarah Sodt, our city’s historic preservation officer, at [email protected].

“Hopefully if we speak up,” reader Brittany Rosenau wrote on our Facebook page, “the city will listen!

Shoutout to Brittany for sending us updates on the petition and music fans’ reaction. Heard of any other ways people can do something about the Showbox? Hit reply or email [email protected] and we’ll share ‘em out.

Over the last few weeks, we’ve been collecting your questions about homelessness in Seattle as part of a city-wide media effort to dive deeper into the crisis.

We noticed some interesting patterns in the questions you sent our way — and we talked all about them in our Facebook Live with our project partners at GeekWire, Real Change, Seattlepi.com, and Patch.

There’s deep mistrust of the limited data our region’s collected. There’s anger at city leaders’ efforts — or lack of effort — to find solutions. There’s a hunger to hear directly from people experiencing homelessness. And an outpouring of questions about the best ways to help.

We dove into these perceptions and what they tell us about how our city approaches our most vulnerable neighbors. We even answered some of your questions live — like how people experiencing homelessness can vote, whether we’ve gotten better at addressing homelessness, and more. »Head to our Facebook page to check out the video.

Speaking of your questions — go vote on which one we’ll answer next! Yesterday, we announced three new reader-submitted questions that represent curiosities and concerns we heard from a bunch of you. »Voting closes in just a few days, so go vote now.  

Also: Be sure to head to GeekWire, Real Change, Seattle P-I, Patch, ParentMap, Crosscut, and KUOW to vote for which questions they should tackle next.

THAT’S ALL FOR TODAY

We’ll see ya tomorrow. — The Evergrey
