That 9061 / 9059 property gets tagged continuously, but I’m happy to also see it get painted over pretty quickly. I didn’t realize it was a volunteer contingent staying on top of it. Hopefully, the quick painting over will ultimately wear down the those who are tagging it. Thank you so much to those who painted today.

Comment on After 4 years, city approves illuminated sign for Madison by Gardengrandma

I have lived in West Seattle all my 59 years. I have been a graduate from Madison Middle school as have my 3 children. Who have went on to become a doctor and 2 teachers. I have always been a strong advocate for Seattle Schools. I know I don’t have much of a say in this ( not a neighbor, nor have a student at Madison ) but I feel like Madison would making a big mistake in not doing what is best for the community and it’s neighborhood. It sounds like an old issue and maybe the school should put more of their energy into academics and not into a reader board. PUN VERY MUCH INTENDED

While we all know that there is never enough money to go around, Madison Middle School has ABSOLUTELY NO SAY in how this money is spent. Half of it is a neghborhood grant that can only be applied to the project it was designated to and the other half came from a PTSA fundraiser for this specific project. This is a PTSA driven project, not a school district or school project. The parents in 2009 wanted this bad enough to fund it and the parents now want it bad enough to pick up the baton and push it through. These are parents that care enough to get up off their butts and do something (whether everyone agrees or not) to support their schools. They don’t make petty comments about the school’s intentionally forgetting the rules or threaten to withhold thei votes to get their way. If you care so much, get involved.

Comment on Cat ‘hanging out in our yard’ – is it yours? by Robin

Bless your heart for feeding and caring for this one. If this little buddy is injured, would you be able to get him to a vet? There are enough of us who can pitch in for treatment. Hate the thought of him in pain. Or you can email me and I’ll do it if he’s tame enough to pick up. Otherwise perhaps traps from FCAT will do the trick. My email is robin dianne at outlook dot com. I’m happy to come get him.

Hurray for bees – they are a most important part of agriculture, and thus, our food supply!!
Thank you Lauren for your all your hard work. You make a difference.

I have read the comments made about this matter and feel like the Madison PTA president answered none of the questions asked. I’m sure she does not live in view of the sign and would not be effected by it. I would be VERY interested to hear what her board members and the rest of the PTA members think about this project. Even with the excuse about how the sign will only run certain hours does that give Madison the excuse about not informing their families about what is going on at there school? Also the times that it would be running are the times when there is a staff member answering the phone to anwer questions. Therefore why would they turn the sign off when people would need the information because their is no one to ask. Keep the community and neighbor happy by not putting up a reader board. That’s how you build a commuinty. Back to reader board……I mean back to the drawing board Madison.
