Just stopped by the South Delridge Farmers’ Market on this beautiful day in White Center. Nice to see the diversity there. Will be a great addition to our already diverse community. The taco truck on 98th was busy with great food and now we will have Indian food as well. One of the many reasons we love to live here!For those of you new to the area the diversity of WC is one of the reasons we moved here back in the late 90s. Affordable housing didn’t hurt as well. WC is much quieter than the good ole days. We had a club open on the west side of 16th between Roxbury and SW 98th. It catered to a young and often underage crowd that loved to buy alcohol and drugs. Almost every Friday and/or Saturday night we would see and hear the KC sheriff department’s helicopter and knew something was up. Luckily, a bunch of concerned residents got together and along with the sheriff’s dept. was able to get it closed down.We are very sorry to see what happened to our local businesses yesterday. Come on down and support them as almost all are trying to make a comeback after the Covid pandemic. We feel totally safe to walk down there during the day but like anywhere in the Seattle area are more careful after dark. And now it is light until after 9 PM at least!

Sorry, comment time is over.
