A building wave is washing over Lynnwood, with nearly two dozen major projects including eight-story apartment complexes coming soon. In response, the city is widening 196th Street SW to help keep traffic moving.

Channel-surfing the vast cultural wasteland: The new series “Damien,” debuting tonight, follows the adult life of the child at the center of the 1976 Satanic horror movi.

According to the show’s synopsis, Damien, now 30, faces his heritage when a woman helps him embrace his Antichrist side — which must mean he gets a job on Wall Street.

Life imitates art — and blows it away: Season 4 of Netflix’s “House of Cards” has begun, but the Kevin Spacey-Robin Wright political drama has lost most of its water-cooler buzz.
