I think you mean 4AM for the end time for the water outage.

John October 5, 2023 (11:27 am)

Typo?
I believe my water will be shut off from 9PM tonight until 4AM Friday.

WSB October 5, 2023 (11:43 am)

Fixed.

Rosalie Miller October 5, 2023 (1:24 pm)

Theresa, what a stunning photo! Thank you.

Doug Leary October 5, 2023 (4:36 pm)

My wife and I stopped by Little Jaye’s around 1:30. Seemed like a pretty successful opening! The place was full and the food was sold out except a couple buttermilk biscuits (which were very tasty).

Don Brubeck October 5, 2023 (5:28 pm)

Beautiful image, Theresa Arbow-O’Connor.

WesSeattleMom October 5, 2023 (6:28 pm)

Fantastic coffee at the Little Lady Jaye Cafe ☕ sounds like Opening day was a success!

Jay October 5, 2023 (7:29 pm)

In the video the guy claims that the police were defunded in 2020. That’s not true, and not a good sign for someone hosting a debate to be lying like that. It won’t be unbiased.

DC October 6, 2023 (9:04 am)

Agreed. I’m so tired of people complaining about ‘defund the police.’ If three years later and multiple budget, salary, and bonus *increases* your distinguishing public safety position is complaining more about the ‘defund’ people, you might be more interested in holding a grudge than actually improving safety.

  SPD has not had a contract since 2021 nor has it’s officers received any bonuses. The budget has increased mainly due to taking Parking Enforcement back (which was removed with 911 dispatch by the city to make it appear that they were “defunding” SPD), inflation, and overtime to make up for so many staff vacancies. But yes, in general SPD was never really defunded.

The Westies Run club meets at 6:30pm on Thursdays now. It would be great if we could get this changed – people keep showing up at 6pm because they’re still seeing that time listed here. Thanks!

WSB October 22, 2023 (11:10 pm)

Sorry, our calendar listing is accurate but somehow the daily list reverted. I’ve fixed above so it’ll be correct in the archives too.

Sorry, comment time is over.
