206 938 4468Topic: Alki and police
Greetings –
I’m not sure if this is the right platform to discuss this issue but I thought I’d send it in.
I am a resident of the 59th and alki block and I am fed up with the lack of police presence on this block during peak busy hours on alki. There was a shooting just a couple weeks ago right next to my building (last year as well). The aggressive crowds are getting worse and worse and always seem to congregate right in front of the house I rent. Groups of 10-20 young males usually hang out and try to pick fights with anyone who walks by. People speed over 40 on our slow residential streets and it feels extremely unsafe. Items are routinely stolen off of my porch, people illegally park in our parking and the noise is out of hand. If that wasn’t bad enough my entire block is getting torn down to build commercial spaces and condos. Pretty soon no one but the wealthy will be able to afford to live on this beach, which is quickly losing its original charm.
The straw the broke the camels back came yesterday around lunchtime when I was taking my injured cat to the vet. I pulled out of my driveway and in less than 50 feet a cop flipped a u turn- turned their lights on and pulled me over for not wearing my seatbelt. I explained that I was literally 20 feet away from my driveway with an injured pet in the car and officer Deborah brooks (#4438) proceeded to make me wait while she wrote me a $140 dollar ticket.
Where are the police during peak times ? Where are the police when all of the cars on my block are blaring their car alarms because of people driving by blasting music so loud that it sets them off . Where are they when people are drinking and using drugs on the sidewalk in front of my house ? When large groups are picking fights with innocent pedestrians ? Or when shootings occur ? No where to be found. But lunch time on a weekday they are found harassing residents who are harming no one. I can barely afford to live on alki as it stands now, barely afford to take my cat to the vet- but instead of being a decent person and giving me a warning- she made me sit in the hot car while my poor kitty was screaming in the carrier. Literally right outside of my house.
That isn’t helping the public. That’s harassing and unhelpful. I would like to send a message to the police force of west Seattle and say I am very upset and disappointed. Looks like I’ll be moving out of this city once they tear down my place .Thank you, if this is any interest to you or the readers I hope it helps highlight a few troubling trends we as residents are experiencing in this area

Here’s the problem, and the legality that the administration faces as the administration tries to give away money to these international climate change groups: it’s now prohibited by law. On March 17, 2016 – the U.N. officially recognized the so-called ‘State of Palestine.’ They said that the ‘ State of Palestine ’ is a full member of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change.
According to a 1994 law, passed by the House, passed by the Senate ( both controlled by the Democrats at the time ), signed into law, the United States cannot give any money to ‘ an affiliated organization of United Nations ’ that grants the Palestinians membership as a state. It’s called the 1994 Foreign Relations Authorization Act. These climate change groups are clearly affiliated organizations of the U.N.The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change – the organization that the Palestinian group, this so-called State of Palestine, just joined as a member state – says on its own website that it is ‘ institutionally linked ’ to the U.N. It also reports that the Green Climate Fund is one of it – it says – its ‘ constituted bodies, ’ so there’s a direct link.
The pipeline of money that the Obama administration is planning to send to these organizations must be shut off.
That’s what happened in 2011, when the Palestinian group joined the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization – commonly known as UNESCO. That triggered a similar 1990 law – and the United States has not given any money to UNESCO ever since.The STOP N’ SHOP is lucky to be the recipient of many wonderful donations from the community, ranging from furniture, clothing, and home décor. Happily, the proceeds provide financial support that keep the many wonderful programs running at the Senior Center of West Seattle. We need a “behind the scenes” volunteer 6 hours per week to help with the intake and pricing of the merchandise. Ideal work hours are Wednesday & Friday afternoons from 1-4pm, but there is flexibility.

Rob sent this – “Saw this model airplane at westcrest dog park. It’s by the shelter and watering station in the middle of the park. Judging from the condition I would guess it crashed in the bushes and someone found it. No name on it anywhere.”
