A roof called a catslide? That’s a new one! 🐈🏡

Saltbox homes get their name from their resemblance to old wooden salt-storage boxes. Their long, sloping rear roofs have a nickname of their own: catslides! ~❤️TPG

Replacing LED bulbs sooner than expected? 💡🏡

Heat could be shortening their lifespan. Enclosed fixtures can trap heat, and some LED bulbs aren’t designed for those conditions.

Before buying another replacement, check the packaging to make sure the bulb is rated for an enclosed fixture.

A little label reading can save you another trip to the store! ~❤️TPG

FALL BALL IS BACK Y’ALL. And what better way to celebrate than with a steaming hot kupp of closures? We’ve got a full closure of southbound I-405 in Bothell, ongoing northbound I-5 lane reductions and an overnight closure of the I-5 express lanes in Seattle. Add Seahawks and Huskies football games to the mix, and you’ll definitely want a game plan before heading out.

-BOTHELL: SB I-405 will CLOSE from 10 p.m. Friday, Oct. 9 to 4 a.m. Monday, Oct. 12 between SR 527 and SR 522. The following ramps will also close at this time: SR 527 on-ramp to SB I-405, NE 195th on-/off-ramps to I-405 and SR 522 off-ramp to SB I-405. Crews will use this closure to work on drainage, pavement reconstruction and bridge repair.

-SEATTLE: NB I-5 express lanes will CLOSE overnight from 11 p.m. Friday, Oct. 9 to 8 a.m. Saturday, Oct. 10 to complete drainage work underneath the Ship Canal Bridge. The two right lanes of NB I-5 and the SB express lanes across the bridge also remain closed around-the-clock.

Before you grab your Paint Map pitchforks, we know there’s more happening this weekend than football. But if you couldn’t already tell, this isn’t a traditional Paint Map, so we didn’t pack this one with all the usual drawings. Consider this our little fall-football-freeway crossover episode.

You know the drill. Plan ahead and give yourself plenty of time to get where you're going. GO HAWKS and GO DAWGS!

“No dogs allowed,” they said.

Lord Byron: “How about a bear?” 🐻

He reportedly kept one in his room at Trinity College in 1807. What’s the strangest housing rule you’ve ever heard of? ~ ❤️TPG
