Sharing is Caring: A new app created in Madrona lets people share their stuff with other users, says MyNorthwest.com. The app, MyNeighbor, allows users to post items they’re willing to share with neighbors or make a request for something they want to borrow. Users can choose to share for free, charge a fee or share in exchange for a donation to a local charity. By borrowing items instead of buying them, users save money on things they would rarely use (like power washers or extra camping gear). So far, the app works on the honor system. MyNeighbor is available for android and iOS.

Supersonic Travel: Good news for you jetsetting grunge fans! Sea-Tac airport just unveiled a new Pearl Jam exhibit thanks to a collaboration between the band and Seattle’s EMP museum. The “Push Me, Pull Me” exhibit features a collection of 85 iconic Pearl Jam posters from the band’s multi-decade career. “This exhibit today showcases not only one of the most influential bands to emerge out of Seattle, but also recognizes some of the powerful works of art associated with them,” said EMP director/ceo Patty Isacson Sabee. Watch the Kiro 7 video here or visit pearljam.com for more information about the exhibit.

High crime: Police say thieves stole a whopping $100,000 worth of marijauna products from a pot shop on 22nd Ave early Monday morning. The thieves allegedly tore through a fence, vents and drywall to get to the products, says Q13 Fox. Investigators believe the thieves targeted other Seattle pot businesses as well.

Into the Woods: Cinder, a female bear burned in wildfires last year, is being released back into the wild after a period of rehabilitation. The 125-pound bear was discovered in Methow County’s Carlton Complex Fire last July with paws so scorched she couldn’t walk on them, reports the Associated Press. Washington Fish and Wildlife officers are releasing Cinder into woods near Wenatchee mid-week. Accompanying her will be a male bear cub she befriended in rehab. Awwww.
