It's 'Up Periscope' for Comcast Neighborhoods as host Sabrina Register visits the nautical town of Keyport, Washington

The museum, operated by the US Navy, is free and open to the public. With more than 80 volunteers, you can hear about naval history and have all of your questions answered. Visitors can check out

Diving equipment on display at the museum

everything from specialized diving equipment that Navy men and women use under the sea,  to entire submarines.

Another highlight of the show is a favorite place to dine and hear great music: the Whiskey Creek Steakhouse. The restaurant used to be a bar, and legend has it that the owner at the time, an avid gambler, lost and re-won the establishment several times. Dixieland Jazz has a big following, and on Wednesday nights, patrons are treated to a talented 90-year-old musician who entertains with her trumpet!

 Comcast Digital TV customers can see the segment by following these easy steps:

1. Go to On Demand, Channel 1.

2. Look for the Get Local folder.

3. Go to ‘Around the Sound.’

4. Click ‘Neighborhoods.’

Daniel Tosh searches the Internet for interesting content to share with his viewers. Tosh.0 was Xfinity On Demand's most-viewed TW show in 2011

Every year, we have fun catching up with totals of what we all watched the most On Demand in Seattle, Spokane, and the rest of Washington State. The clear winner this year was the movie Bridesmaids. The geek in all of us will be happy to hear the name of the most popular TV program, Tosh.0.

You probably only have to be breathing to recognize the name of the most popular kids’ show. In fact, you only have to use the hero’s  first name and people recognize him: SpongeBob is everywhere!

You can read more about the national Xfinity On Demand winners here at Comcast Voices. The blog notes “With some 400 million views each month On Demand — or nearly 5 billion views in 2011 — the category winners represent a true popularity contest.”

So who was popular here in Washington, as a state? Here was our list for 2011:

Berthusen Park

City of Lynden

Dutch Village Inn

Edaleen Diary

Lynden Dutch Bakery

Lynden Performing Arts Guild

Lynden Pioneer Museum

Comcast Neighborhoods segments air for three months On Demand before they appear on YouTube. So that’s why you will see hints of the holiday season in the video.

One of the communications technicians based in our Auburn offices, Brian Farchette, is pretty handy with a camera. Now that the storm repairs are well under control, Brian had time to go back over some video he filmed in the aftermath of the January 2012 winter mess in Puget Sound. What he gives us on the video above is a glimpse into what it was like out there in the cold. We hope you find the video interesting. The time-lapse part begins about a minute and 30 seconds into the video.

If you go to the original YouTube page, Brian gives a special shout-out to the employees from Spokane who came over the mountains to help their brethen. Everyone in Western Washington appreciated their help!

We were all glad the storm only damaged certain areas and not others: employees in less-damaged areas such as Spokane, Bellingham, Aberdeen, Everett and Seattle quickly spread through other areas to help with the massive recovery effort. We also had crews from California helping for some time.

Sunday, we had about 50 people call us about their lines in South and East King County and about 13 in Thurston County; if we should be out fixing your lines, please let us know. If you had any problem getting through when we received a lot of calls during the storm, please accept our apologies and call us again. In the meantime, what we’re doing today is revisiting some of the damage that we repaired in a hurry and making more lasting repairs.
