    Plenty of boats on Elliott Bay. Is it salmon season?

    Tried to drop items for Value Village for the “Pencil Me In For Kids” at the YMCA  today but they knew nothing about it so I took it home.

      Sorry to hear that. I’ll see if I can find someone to contact to see if they changed the date or something and didn’t tell us. Thanks for trying to help. – TR

        Organizer Ann says they have been at 37th/Snoqualmie, which would be west side of Y, “since noon”…

          I was there at 11 a.m. so guess I just missed them.
