But the anti-war protesters who turned out were just as committed as ever, still pushing for change."Ss long as we have troops stationed in Iraq and Afghanistan, we have to be out here to make sure they get home as fast as possible," says Bob Trutnau of Lake Forest Park. For many of the protesters, there were concerns that a lot of Americans are becoming more and more apathetic about our nation's two wars.And there was plenty of debate about what's been accomplished by those wars."Nothing. Nothing - all we've done is kill and maim and injure and destroy. For what?" says Leaann Strand of Renton. The size of the U.S. force is supposed

Climbing one, two or three flights of stairs can leave you winded. But thousands of people braved 69 flights of stairs Sunday at Seattle's Columbia Tower.It was more than a fitness exercise - the competition also raised money to fight cancer.And the satisfaction of walking to the top of the...more West Coast's tallest building did wonders for many individuals' self-esteem, too."I just climbed 69 flights of stairs - 1,311 steps - and I did it!" gushed Marquita Henley.Others felt more of a sense of exhaustion. "I'm glad it's over," laughed Kerri Fitch. What motivated many people to do a back-breaking workout on a Sunday morning was the hope that it could help loved ones - including small children.Sarah Thorsteinson said her son Caleb was diagnosed with leukemia at 11 months old, and he is now 3 years old. "So we've done a little over two years of treatment," she says. "And he is my little superhero." Caleb finally has hair after chemotherapy. His supporters look at it like this

'Twilight' screenwriter talks series
Mar 21, 2010 at 6:40 PM PST
The Fred Meyer on Bothell Highway was like a beacon for twilighters Friday night, as the store hosted a 'New Moon' midnight DVD release party with special guest Melissa Rosenberg.   For those of you living outside of the 'Twilight' bubble, Rosenberg is the screenwriter for the popular series. She's...more so far adapted the three first books into movies, and is already working on the fourth and final installment: 'Breaking Dawn'.   We had a chance to talk to her about her journey:        How do you condense an 800 page book into a two-hour movie?    MR: "Very carefully. You start with, and you end with, what is the emotional journey for these characters. That is the most important thing to capture, that is the only thing to capture. Everything else is up for grabs, but you must take these characters on the same emotional journey that they took in the book, and hence take the audience on the same emotional journey that they took in the book and that's the goal, you hope that you achieve that.
