Saturday’s White Center Clean Up was a resounding success, and not only did The White Center Blog cover it, we pitched in to help as well!

Here’s a great photo slideshow by Photographer Michael Brunk:

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):

Far as we know, no other local neighborhood blog in the Seattle area is utilizing this feature, which is now active and available on our right sidebar, directly underneath the “Local Weather” section – we at the White Center Blog proudly announce:

AUTOMATIC LANGUAGE TRANSLATION!

To see it in action, just click on either the Korean, Chinese or Spanish flag under the “Translator” heading on the right sidebar; the page should automatically translate to whichever language you chose.

Give it a try:

• In Korean
• In Chinese
• In Spanish

We hope to add additional languages soon, but for now these three languages should help us appeal to approximately 33% more of our potential White Center audience.

We know these stats have changed in eight years, but from our personal experience in the ‘hood, we’ve decided to go with Korean, Chinese and Spanish for now, with hopes of expanding to other languages soon.

So…spread the word and let’s keep the diversity of the Dub-C flowing on the internet!
