We found a men’s gold ring in Me Kwa Mooks park Friday the 20th of July.

There is a year on the sides of the ring, and three initials engraved on the interior. The person who knows those two things gets their ring back.

A West Seattle neighbor made my day so much better.

Its been a tough 6 months…cancer, chemo, and yesterday spent painting my old house so I can sell and pay more medical bills….yay. I was coming over the bridge during a scorching evening commute to rest in my new rental, when unbeknownst to me a plastic side piece on my bumper flew off….of my new-to-me old vanagon purchased last summer in hopes of fossil hunting trips post treatment. A screw had come loose.

Up and over the hill, and all the way down the other side I was home. And pulling in the drive right behind me was the lovely lady who had seen what happened, and made a mental note of exactly where the piece had landed next to the Delridge exit, so I could try to retrieve it.

With that, my evening got 100% better. I set the clock for 3 am, so as to avoid as much traffic as possible up on the big bridge. I hopped in the van, made my way to First Avenue and came back. The piece was exactly where she had said, and completely undamaged. Once I find a screw that fits, I will have a complete bumper again.

It was so nice of this stranger to follow me all the way home to tell me what had happened. I’m sure that, like me, all she wanted to do at that point was get home to a cold drink and a fan. She saved me money, time, and most important of all, feeling like too many hard things are coming my way at once. It might seem small in the scheme of things, but to me, yesterday especially….it gave me a boost of energy that helped me tackle today with more happiness and verve than I would have otherwise.

Thank you for your good deed. Greatly appreciated.

Middle school is a tough time for youth. This time of transition is filled with multiple changes, increased responsibility, increased peer pressure, lack of motivation and puberty. This is also when youth are building their self-esteem and their confidence. Many students are going through these changes alone, as they aren’t trusting their parents/guardians with as much, yet this is when they love friends and need the most authentic support.
Here is where you step in. As a volunteer mentor, you are that friend and support system. Through spending time together, having fun and enjoying each other, your student will become more confident and comfortable in their own skin. Our youth will also be exposed to your life and experiences, which many times are different than those in their home life. As a mentor, you will spend time with your youth twice a month. Even if you are busy, if you have a free 4 hours a month, you can make a difference.
A key part of our program is building a community for our youth, so along with the one-on-one time spent with you, everyone attends monthly program sponsored outings. While these outings seem just to be fun outings, they have a large learning component, such as discussions about body image, bullying, communication, and other topics that middle school youth are experiencing. These outings are scheduled once a month, and vary in location and day to give variety to the group and scheduling.
If you think back to your middle school experience, how would you have benefited from a mentor? Sign up for more information and you could give a middle school youth the love, support, and friendship they need.

As to using side streets instead of arterial to get somewhere faster: I can’t believe that it’s actually faster to use side streets. Eventually you’ll have to join back up with arterials to exit neighborhoods.

When will side streets become so overburdened that people start driving through the alleys instead? How about bike paths? There are several that are large enough to accommodate a vehicle on them.

To the OP: The operator of a motorized vehicle is legally responsible to exercise a higher degree of caution than pedestrians. You want to make it the pedestrians problem when you’re in a hurry and using side street in a manner for which they are not intended so you’re the one causing the hazard.

Yes, play is not the intended use of a street so pedestrians must get out of the way when a car is coming through but they shouldn’t have to scatter for their safety, their safety is the drivers responsibility, especially since they will be the one cited. Again, I played in the street all the time. Skates, bikes, baseball and pretty much any other game. This was because the nearest parks were far enough away that they were impractical in the minds of children. We got out of the way of cars but they sometimes had to stop while we gathered or get and got out of the way.

If you choose to travel down side streets then prepare to be surprised and possibly inconvenienced. If this is just too much for you then take the arterials and quit your whinging.

If your driveway is ‘steep’, it might be considered unwalkable. There is no usps standard on that and it is up to the carrier(I was told by management). Would it be better if the carrier left you a notice to pick it up at the post office? (If so, I would suggest taping a note to the mailbox…where the carrier will see it…on the lid, perhaps?) If you want to talk to usps management, leave them your phone number and ask to be called by the end of the day, or ask for a phone number when you are told no one is ‘available’ and ask a good time to call.) Hope this was helpful. I also think the idea in the previous post about taping a note with an arrow for package deliveries isn’t a bad idea…but the ‘porch pirates can read too and seem more than willing to enter property to check things out.

This is fascinating!

I grew up playing ball in the street, riding my bike in the street and many other things. It was simply what we did and how it was. The parents knew their kids were “outside” and would fetch them for meals or would come out if they heard crying or were fetched by kid.

Conversely, as noted above, we hold kids hands, closely supervise play at a park, wring their hands when their kids are out of sight. WE protect their feelings and insist that they’re “special”.

My kids are special TO ME. I don’t expect them to be special to others. I expect them to be able to exercise regular caution when in the street. I also expect drivers to exercise regular caution; to watch out for children, etc. The caution is also the legal responsibility attached to the driver of the car/truck. Kids in the streets is always a possibility on a residential street…everywhere. It’s also not against the law. It’s not like we’re talking W. Marginal, it’s local side streets.

[J242]

Hear hear Sunuva!
I take side streets to get down to Westwood Village and back because it’s easier, there’s less traffic, and it’s a lovely drive (so many beautiful homes and awesome neighbors to wave hi to! Plus on the way back, I don’t end up causing a massive backup trying to make a left at a light off of Delridge). I cruise down the side streets going between 15-18mph and I don’t plan on changing that pattern any time soon.

It always frustrates me when some idiot is going 30+ or wants to and ends up riding my bumper but I’m still going to keep crawling along at my lower than the limit speed. If someone is late, they should have left earlier. Emergencies aside, people need to chill out and slow down to enjoy the views.

Ever instinctively chase a ball that flew out of the yard?

You know, this is a sad commentary of the environment kids grow up in. Parents walking thier kids to the bus stop. Parents getting into fist fights at Little League games. People not wanting to pay for infrastructure that they claim they are entitled to (yes, that includes parks).

There is a reason why residential streets are 20, that’s TWENTY miles per hour. If you don’t want to follow the rules, you deserve a first world problem like a plastic stick figure asking you to not ruin the life of a kid, parent, sibling, friend and yours after an accident.

Please slow down in the neighborhood. Thanks.

We found a laptop in our alley near California and Graham (Morgan Junction) yesterday. We brought it inside and it boots up just fine, it is password protected (login screen). Seems to work just fine so I’m guessing it was stolen/taken and dumped or misplaced somehow? We would like to get it back to the owner.

Not sure how but my previous reply seems to have disappeared. Trying again!

1) The notion that some parents would use a sign in the street in lieu of teaching their children about safety is ludicrous. I know a lot of parents, and not one would stoop to that level of irresponsibility and laziness.
2) The people who are putting up these signs are likely doing so in reaction to people driving dangerously fast down the streets they live on. Go look at 39th and 102nd SW and you’ll see a dozen of these signs at different houses. The reason? Because people soar down that road and blow through that intersection regularly at dangerous speeds.
3) Getting the city to fix dangerous intersections takes a lot of time and effort and waiting for that to happen isn’t feasible. Families then take the situation on themselves by trying to put up signage since the city won’t.
4) I don’t know any parents that encourage their children to go play in the streets. Though there may be some exceptions in cul-de-sacs and special places like that.
5) Kids take a long time to develop a safe awareness of their surroundings and it takes repeated instruction and guidance from parents to teach them. You don’t just tell a kid once to stay out of the street and they mind. You can tell a small child to be careful around cars one minute and the next they’ll see a butterfly and chase it right into the street if nobody stops them.
6) Just slow down in our neighborhoods. This is directed at everybody. It seems we are all in such a hurry these days that safety takes a back seat to getting to your destination. Slow down and not only will you give yourself more time to react, but if you do happen to hit someone, the damage will be hopefully less severe.
7) I live on an arterial and just accept that people are going to drive it at higher speeds. I wouldn’t even consider a Slow Down sign because it wouldn’t do a bit of good. However, on the side streets around here I see others driving at dangerous speeds daily. I do wish people would mind their speed on these neighborhood roads, maybe then it wouldn’t be necessary for people to put up their own signage.

Last Saturday while walking on Alki, I tripped on a high edge of the sidewalk and went down hard! My left shoulder hit as well as my right knee and right elbow. The intense pain, fear and humility was overwhelming and I burst into tears. My Phone was in pieces(cover came off).
Along came two strangers, I believe Fran and Brad-hope I got the names right! They were so kind and tried to help me up but the pain in my left shoulder prevented me from doing anything but laying still. They offered encouragement and Fran reassembled my phone so I could call for my Husband. They were exactly who I needed at that time-I felt so alone!
I asked my two new friends to bow down so I could see their faces as all I could see at the time were their legs and shoes! As they did, I felt so touched to put faces to the kindness they gave me. Fran said “I know you! You’ve walked here years ago! I saw the man who revived you!” She was referring to the time and near the same place I fell down from a heart attack five years ago! I was without a heartbeat and survived! All my angels were in place to administer CPR, defibrillator and summon an ambulance that was just blocks away.
My husband finally arrived and called for an aid car. Fran and Brad wished me the best and left as the aid car arrived and EMT’s were gathering around to do the wonderful things they do for us. I was soon at Harborview ER and discovered I had fractured my left humerus bone. Fortunately, I didn’t need a cast but a specially knotted sling that enabled the bone to start healing. Painful week since then but my heart was warmed by the memories of my two friends and all the people driving along Alki who stopped to offer assistance!
I wish I knew more of what happened five years ago as I don’t remember anything after I passed out. Last Saturday showed me there are still angels out there among us. THANK YOU!

Hello everyone
Now, I’m not bashing the USPS – I realize they have their jobs to do, and in weather, it can be difficult. Does anyone know what their rule is regarding placement of packages that they deliver? I was always under the impression that if they deliver a package to you that doesn’t fit in your mailbox, they are to place it at your front door if it is accessible. We live on a street with no sidewalk or parking, and have a locking mailbox at the bottom of our driveway. Our driveway is steep but easily accessible. Today, for the second time in a few weeks, I’ve found our packages just laying streetside at the foot of our mailbox. I doubt this is our usual carrier, as he’s always delivered them at the top of the driveway. Last year when this happened, I went to the Post Office to complain, but was told that the supervisor was (conveniently) unavailable. Can someone explain what it is our carriers should be doing in this situation? I’ve never been able to locate a phone number for our local West Seattle Post Office, and the one time I made an on-line complaint, it went completely unanswered…I shudder to think of the upcoming holiday season….
Thanks.

Dire times call for bad jokes

[Michael Waldo]

There have been on going reports of coyote sightings around West Seattle.
Merely seeing one is not a reason to call authorities.
However, there are certain behaviors that are cause for alarm.

Specifically:
Coyote carrying a box marked ACME.
Coyote dropping an anvil from a hot air balloon.
Coyote posting signs such as “Detour” or “Free Bird Seed”.
Coyote in possession of a giant magnet.
Coyote in possession of a catapult.
Coyote detonating explosives or TNT.
Coyote launching itself with a giant crossbow.

Please contact the police or animal control if you witness any of the behavior above.
Thank you.
