Thanks for the reminders! As mentioned there is still plenty of space for people for Green Seattle day. Westcrest could really use some more volunteers!

Did you go to the meeting? We were not able to, though I’ll be following up to see if they had any major announcement(s) or status updates.

All that time, yet the long-suffering shopper couldn’t find a meme spell-checker, what?

  Among West Seattle place names, Delridge is misspelled almost as frequently as Genesee …

And don’t you hate it when people have to go out of their way to publicly point it out that you spelled something wrong?

OH and there’s an apartment building on Delridge that’s called Deeridge…always wondered if that was the case with the name being mis-spelled when the sign was made.
