Naz Patel with Guild Mortgage is AMAZING. She is quick to respond, pays close attention to detail and is extremely professional. One thing I really appreciate about her as a mortgage lender is that she responds and gets things done on weekends or outside of “bank hours”. Her rates are competitive and she honestly is looking out for your best mortgage solution. Give her a call: 425-361-5671 http://www.guildmortgage.com/nazpatel

Just to clarify here, Seattle Public Schools is not “planning” for BEX V, it’s done, set, and on the ballot that Seattle voters will consider February 12th. I don’t know how your concern fared as it’s not a West Seattle issue, but the levy itself is in its final form and ballots should arrive soon. – TR

As part of Seattle Public Schools’ current master planning for the upcoming Building Excellence 5 (BEX-V) levy, the district is beginning to determine what schools will be improved, replaced, or created. SPS is projecting an increase in the high school student population of approximately 8% over the next 7 years. This works out to 1,600 students or the equivalent of one additional high school. Studies are currently being undertaken for this new high school to be located on and adjacent to the Memorial Stadium property next to Seattle Center, an area that will soon be served by three updated high schools in north-central Seattle (Ballard, Lincoln, Roosevelt – this will be the fourth). While this is where growth is expected to occur, it will not meet the needs of communities that are currently underserved. Students in these communities need a different approach; for many, the current system is not flexible, personal, or relevant. Graduation rates need improvement. The current situation supports the school-to-prison pipeline. Meanwhile, taxpayers are faced with skyrocketing property-based taxes. Change is needed.

Unofficial estimates put the cost of this new high school at over $150 million. It is being presented at some school board meetings as a fait accompli, although as some School Board Directors have noted, a decision on whether a new high school is actually needed has not yet been considered or made. There are alternatives that do not appear to have been given consideration, study, or public discussion. For example, our existing school buildings are not used to their full effectiveness. High schools are normally used for less than 1/3 of daylight hours; simply put, they are underutilized. Meanwhile, schools of all kinds suffer from lack of funding for repairs, expansion, staffing, etc. The following approaches seek to address those while providing improved learning experiences, flexible work environments for teachers, greater learning opportunities, flexible locations, and increased sustainability:

Classroom utilization: Classrooms typically remain vacant for one out of every 6 periods each day when they are used by teachers as an oversized office for planning. By providing teacher work or collaboration spaces outside of an empty classroom, general classroom utilization/capacity can be increased by up 20% (10% may be more realistic). This will have little to no impact on students’ experiences.
Class Periods: By extending class periods beyond 1 hour, transition time is reduced which both significantly increases the quality and time of classroom instruction/learning, it eliminates unnecessary non-instructional time. For every discontinued transition time, and ignoring the increased effectiveness of instructional time, the time saved for each is 3%. If classroom time is increased by this amount, a week of schooling is saved. If the school day is shortened, more time is available for evening classes. Increase utilization/capacity by 3-12%.
Evening Classes: Holding classes in the evenings offers students greater chances for worksharing (during regular business hours), increased mentorship opportunities (outside of regular business hours), alignment of hours with parents who work outside of the standard 9-5 day, and also for students who need or choose to work to support themselves and their families. For a not-insignificant percentage of our students, this would be of real benefit in many ways. It would also increase utilization/capacity by 16-80%.
Saturday Classes: Benefits are similar to Evening Classes. Increase utilization/capacity by 20%.
Summer Classes: Benefits are similar to Evening Classes. Increase utilization/capacity by up to 39%.
Total potential increased utilization/capacity: 159%
Total capacity needed: 8%

The above approaches suggest ways to increase capacity by over 150%; fortunately we only need a small fraction of that. Some or all of these approaches can be implemented to more than meet all anticipated growth while offering choice and real benefits to students, teachers, and families. Further, the monies saved by not spending $150+ million on a new high school can be saved or spent elsewhere to address capacity and maintenance issues in middle and elementary schools. By simply providing teachers with the space to work and prepare outside of a classroom that remains empty for one out of every six periods each day, capacity needs could be more than met. This approach alone could be implemented in the existing high schools over a single summer, and in total cost less than 1/200th of a new high school. The new high school is neither necessary nor does it align with the district’s goals of sustainability, flexibility, equity, or fiscal responsibility. Why are we to consider an expensive new school that will – yet again – remain unused for over 2/3 of the time?

Perhaps most importantly, providing increased flexibility and improved learning experiences and environments have great potential to improve both retention and graduation rates. This increased flexibility in both location and application can provide real benefits where they are most needed – in our underserved communities.
People “do not take kindly to a heavy handed top down approach” by our governing agencies. However, we look to our elected leaders to bring forward ideas and concepts for public discussion and analysis. At the end of the day we look to you to make decisions, either directly or through a public vote on a levy, bond, or initiative. I encourage you to bring some or all of these forward for departmental analysis, board consideration, and public discussion. Students, teachers, and families require options and choices. Please give these (any others) careful, thoughtful consideration before the decision is made to put an expensive and unnecessary new high school on the upcoming ballot to taxpayers already facing dramatically increasing tax bills.

Sincerely,

Lee!

Just want to say how great west seattle la fitness’ hoops vibe is. I’ve been playing pickup basketball for 20 years and I gotta say the community at this location is great. Here’s to another year of some good hoops!

[DaveB]

I was a member of the YMCA in the triangle (I quit about 18 months ago because I wasn’t going). Their recent remodel brought in a lot of new equipment, and the space is nice. I recently started going to West Seattle Health Club, and they have a similar set up, and a women only gym too. (and a snack/coffee bar). I don’t know if either is the best, but they both seem to have what you need.

Out of curiosity, why do you not like LA Fitness? I’ve never been so I have no perspective.

I’m also interested. I’ve been part of a monthly book club for several years, but they’re mostly women in the sound end and I’d love to have something here in the neighborhood. We meet once a month and the person who hosts chooses the book – pretty basic. I enjoy both fiction and nonfiction. Just finished: Becoming, Michelle Obama; currently reading: Leonard da Vinci, Walter Isaacson. Love a good trashy novel then and again as well!

Sounds to me like the security officer was attempting to use discretion rather then make a larger issue out of petty theft. To be clear you can be detained for shoplifting if you conceal an item, pass the last point of sale and are heading towards the exit (where those pesky baskets are located). I’m not sure why QFC managment gave some other impression in this case but the last place loss prevention wants to tussle with someone is outside the store in a parking lot where accomplices often times have vehicles and/or weapons. As a parent I would have been elated that it had only gone that far rather then having the police called and a trespass noticed issued. The re-training they’re likely to get is to not avoid paperwork and bust them for stealing. Also, the security guard is the authority figure in this story and it doesn’t seem like they’re the ones with the issue…

Smells like decomposing bark to me (nearly the smell of manure). Smelled it a couple days ago at 38th and Barton, smelled it tonight coming down 509 into South Park and from there, I smelled it all the way back to 38th and Barton. Not a terrible odor but not a great one either, kinda sweet smelling.

Hello! I work from home part-time, but over the last few months my employer has been requiring me to come in more and more often, and I just found out my regular babysitter is no longer available. I don’t have family in the area that can help out, what the heck do variable schedule working parents do? I’d love to know of any openings in a reputable nanny-share, drop-in care, or babysitter. My daughter is 2.5. This could also be more full-time if I decide to jump back into full-time work. We are in North Delridge if that helps. Thank you!

They’re not local, but Distribudoors was amazing when my husband and I were brand-new homeowners with a broken garage door. They went out of their way to let us know what type of motor we’d need, how long it should last, that we have an abnormally heavy garage door and were just super friendly and helpful. The repair was not nearly as expensive as we’d predicted. Search their recommendations on the forum and you will find many happy customers. Good luck!

he handed the kid a basket.. and you are upset?
really?

[blbl]

Of course you judged, Mark47n, both the kid and Cabe. I’d even call your post a rant. Your broad statements about modern day parenting based on your own experience are completely irrelevant. That kind of reasoning is why Brett Kavanaugh is on the Supreme Court. All the old men simply remembered their own similar “youthful indiscretions” and gave him a pass. You’re doing the same thing by assuming that Cabe’s son was “doing something that brought a watchful eye onto him” just because you could remember acting “belligerent” when you were his age. Maybe the security guard was overly aggressive. Or maybe he was completely right and reasonable. Either way, I guaranty it had nothing to do with how you acted as teenager.

[mark47n]

I have to ask blbl, did you actually laugh out loud when you read what I wrote or are you using it as a barb? My guess is that it’s the latter.

We make judgments about all sorts of things all the time based on experience and available data. Teenagers do incredibly stupid things as a matter of routine. I have two children, one of whom is a teen and the other who’s 21 and they both do ridiculously stupid things from time to time.
I didn’t judge the kid, either. I made broad statements about modern day parenting and about teenagers in general and used the presented situation as a backdrop for it, everything from parental rage to inaccurate statements regarding the elements of shoplifting.

Oh, I used myself as an example, not as the measuring stick. I didn’t make it about me, you did.

Is it possible that the kid was unjustly accused? Sure.Did anything actually come of it? No. Could something more have come of it? you bet!

LOL Mark47n – another man judging a kid based on his own past instead of the facts. It’s not about you.

[mark47n]

@Newnative; my response stands other than my misunderstanding as to whether or not the OP was present. Just because the OP was present doesn’t mean that the OP actually knows what the kid is doing unless they have their eyes on them the whole time. I reference back to my misspent youth.

Profiling is not illegal, especially in commercial retail establishments, and there is a reason that it happens, especially to teenagers.
