The Seattle Times is reporting that a convicted sex offender was busted recently after he placed pornographic pictures on cars parked at Burien City Hall in August and September.

The offender, Noah Nelson, 31, was charged this week with both possessing child pornography as well as cyberstalking.

The Times reports that in September:

Nelson was caught on a security camera driving up to cars on his scooter and leaving porn on the cars of strangers, according to court charging paperwork.

Burien police installed the hidden camera in the city parking garage after the pictures were left on the car of Finance Director Gary Coleman and other city employees.

Read the full story here.

We’ve created a new Photo Gallery on The B-Town Blog, and to kick it off we’ve loaded it up with 293 images from Sunday’s Burien Brat Trot 5K Race, 27 from Saturday night’s Arts-A-Glow Festival and 37 from Saturday’s Kids’ Day (with more to come…).

Just click here to go to the Gallery.

Then click on the folder you want to view (to start with, either “Brat Trot 2010,” “Arts-A-Glow 2010” or “Kids Day 2010“).

Once in the folder of your choice, click on a thumbnail image to see it, OR…click on the first pic, then on “Next” to see each photo in a larger size. You can then scroll through images by clicking “Next” or “Previous.”

When you find a photo you want, you have four options:

• Buy Print: you can buy a print of any image.
• Buy Card: you can buy a card of any image.
• Download: you can download an image for $1 each.
• Share: you can share on Facebook, Twitter, Digg or Buzz.
• eCard: email a free eCard to anyone.

Now you may notice by now that we’re charging low fees for these images – this is quite simple, and so darned obvious we just know you’ll understand:

It costs us money to take the pics (Photographers, equipment, time, etc.),
as well as to process them, then host them on a server.

We’re not going to get rich from this by any means, but we’d like to at least try to cover our costs.

Now, with all that said, we hope you enjoy these initial pics shot by Michael Brunk, Scott Schaefer, Nicholas Johnson and our other talented Photogs.

And keep in mind that we’ll continue adding more images to this new Photo Gallery, so please check back often.

We’ll be showcasing her work often, but for starters, here’s some of her pics focusing on Seahurst Park:
