Detectives from the King County Sheriff’s Department are turning to the public in the hopes of identifying this pair of likely mail thieves who used a stolen debit card in several area cities:

This photo was taken in early June of the suspects using the stolen card in Puyallup.

The two suspects “hit the motherlode” when they stole mail which included a brand new debit card and PIN.

The stolen card was subsequently used in Federal Way, Tacoma, Tukwila, and Puyallup.

The fraud was discovered recently when unknown charges popped up on the victim’s new debit card account. The bank had supposedly mailed the card and PIN in separate envelopes, but both appeared to have been stolen from the mail.

The victim is a resident of SeaTac, and the loss is several thousand dollars.

If anyone recognizes the suspects they are asked to call the King County Sheriff’s Office at (206) 296-3311 (24 hours) or 9-1-1.

We’ve created a Flickr Group for all those creative White Center Photographers out there, or anyone who has interesting pics of the Dub-C.

You can join it by clicking here, then cllcking on “Join” under the “Group Pool” header.

Once you’re a member, you can upload your White Center-related photos to our Group Pool.

We’ll then cull through them, use what we find interesting, and give you full credit as well as a link to whatever you deem we should link to (many like getting linked to their portfolio website).

Let the Dub-C Flickr Photos flow!

White Center Blog gives a huge shout-out to Reader “Ms. Anon E. Mouse,” who sent us this photo, which she claims was done as a prank just for the White Center Blog (which, BTW, was the very first blog-style website launched specifically for the Dub-C):

That’s a 180-pound pumpkin sitting in the office of Burien Bark, and it was grown right here in White Center at the home of owners Roger and Barbara Clairmont using their “Special Blend Garden Mix.”

The White Center Blog has been informed that Burien Bark plans to harvest the seeds of said giant pumpkin and distribute them to customers and have a “Grow the Biggest Pumpkin” contest next year!

Photographed on 16th Ave SW near SW 112th is this scene of a White Center yard festooned for Halloween:

Driving through the Dub-C this morning, we found this fascinating scene of nature vs man: a blackberry bush is growing through a traffic cone on the corner of SW 107th and 21st SW (possibly cultivated that way by a nearby resident):

We took this photo a few months ago when we were first doing mockups of this here White Center Blog, found it again and thought it was worth posting – this was a memorial, perhaps for a fallen motorcyclist, that was set up near a crosswalk island on 16th Ave SW near SW 104th:
