This the Largest Library Sorting System in all of North America, and it’s located just south of Seattle in Renton, Washington. King County Library System (KCLS) supports 50 community libraries, and in 2025 they had over 25 million checkouts (digital and physical). 

So here’s how it works:

The Central Sorter is an automated materials-handling system, allowing KCLS to move thousands of books and other items to its libraries faster and more reliably. It can sort up to 8000 materials per hour. 

These 2 de-stacking robots can separate a tote every 15 seconds. 

Staff at 6 ergonomic stations feed items into the sorter, the scan routes the item to the destination automatically. Sorted items fill totes at any of the 186 chutes, stacked 4-high, ready for delivery drivers to load and take back to their local library. 

This scalable system has reduced noise, is more reliable, and gentler on materials. Since books can circulate faster, this lowers wait times on our holds with the library. 

 Lastly, for KCLS employees, this improves ergonomics, has less repetitive handling, and a more efficient workflow.

The Best Food in MLB is arguably at The Seattle Mariners stadium, so here is my guide on where to eat, based on where you’re sitting.

I’ll start in right field, not only does the upper deck have the best view, they have this.
Rolling Smoke BBQ has these Peach Glazed Pork Belly Burnt Ends that come in the retro helmet cup.

Right next to them is the famous MOTO Pizza. I ordered the Kissd Pizza, pepperoni, spicy sauce hot honey, parm and oregano.

Moving around the outfield, we are in centerfield at the Way Back Crab Shack. You’ll get the viral ferry boat carrying the crab fries. You’re going to need a drink now, so back here is also the unlimited soda refills.

It’s 11-0 right now, so let’s keep eating.

In left field, at the lower level is a local favorite El Rinconsito, the brand new Quesatrompo, marinated pork tacos. I was asked multiple times about these at my seats.

Behind home plate is a ton of food, but my recommendation is Tamari Bar. I ordered the Area 206 Curry with Chicken Katsu and a Yuzu Ginger Ale.

A life update I’ve been hesitant to share. I’m doing good and recovering. Let this be a reminder to listen to your body. Don’t let those phantom pains and aches remain unchecked. I went to the ER after my body told me something was wrong, and I’m grateful I did. Thanks to everyone who has supported me over the past month. My village showed up in so many ways, and I’m eternally grateful 🫶

Starting July 30, these historic documents will be on display at Seattle’s Museum of History & Industry (MOHAI) through August 16. Museum of History & Industry

It’s not every day that a plane lands carrying history this important.

In the final episode of this series exploring East African stores and small businesses along Rainier Ave with Rainier Ave Business Coalition, I went to Sebhat Grocery in Hillman City. The owner told me he opened this store to provide more resources and products to help his community acclimate when they moved to Seattle. The part that was the most interesting was the area they have set up to cook injera (you likely won’t see this if you walk in randomly). The footage at the end of this video was provided by the business, but I’d love to come back and see the production in action.

Place in Seattle the Influencers Don’t Go, Part 4. On Rainier Ave is Sabah, it’s named after the owner (she asked not to show her face). She was born in Somalia, and like many in this series, she was a refugee who moved to Seattle via Atlanta in the early 2000s. She learned to cook from her mother when she was young, and she incorporated those skills into this tiny kitchen in the back. And the menu is huge, she had me try multiple items. When you come, just get some chicken or goat, but what I didn’t expect to get on the side was Spaghetti (Italian colonization in Somalia) and Muufo, a traditional Somali flatbread. This place is not fancy, but the food is good. It’s the kind of place you pay at the counter after you eat. It’s like getting a hug from your mom. Go eat at Sabah.

This is “La Chismosa” from Cafecito Mexican Bakery ☕️ I found Lizeet’s tent at South Lake Union Farmers Market this past Saturday and they pop up all over the Seattle, Bellevue and Redmond throughout the week. They top their churro latte (cold brew coffee from Oaxaca + cinnamon + caramel) with their pan dulce. Seattle Farmers Market Assoc.
