    it may surprise you to learn that people who can’t afford a car probably can’t afford the other options you mention either… which was my point.

    And then there are those who work is dependant upon owning a car.

    reducing this to a want question instead of a need question ignores the fact that for a large portion of our population.. our current state of public transportation is worse than inadequate.

    It’s clear that you didn’t understand my comment. I will try to clarify: as you should be able to tell from the thread, I was responding to your comment to Lindsey. You wrote:
    “Lindsay..
    i can only assume that you have very good insurance when you state that ambulances are there for all medical emergencies.. or that you have a healthy bank account which always has the money for an unexpected taxi or lyft ride to urgent care…
    unfortunately.. not everyone does.”
    In the above quote you make a specific argument about the financial cost of not owning a car. You suggest one needs a “healthy bank account” to be able to afford taxis, etc.
    My point is only about this statement and my point is this: You might be surprised at how much money one can save by not having a car and only using rideshare/taxi services.

    Even taking a taxi or rideshare multiple times a week can still be cheaper than owning a car, and that’s all I’m saying.

    You write that “the problem with looking at a subject from only one point of view (expenses) is that many times your point of view doesn’t begin to address the needs.. let alone the wants.. of others.”

    Sure, and if what you are really saying is just that you WANT to have a car, I’m fine with that! But in earlier comments you brought up the expense of NOT having a car–and that is the point I was taking issue with!

    i am not sure what part of the need for disabled parking you don’t understand.. but i have severe fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome… and am still in recovery from a series of operations following a pretty bad cancer scare. To say my energy is limited is an understatement.

    i can’t reliably walk from my front door to the bus stop on the corner… and i live one house off the bus stop corner. once on the bus i may or may not be able to get off at the other end and reach the nearest bench.. if there is a bench. I can’t use the disabled van service because i can’t sit and wait as long as one has after an appointment. if i sit too long i sometimes literally can’t walk at all.

    to go carless i would have to have everything that comes into my house delivered…
    and take lyft/taxi/uber every place i go.

    One day in the not so distant future that will in fact be my reality. My hope is that when that time comes i will live in a small enough community to make that doable.. but right now i don’t.

    i have lived long periods of my life carless and made it work just fine.. but the reality is that there are a whole lot of people just like me who could not function without home care if they weren’t able to drive.

    without my car i would be literally housebound.

    that might work for you.. but it doesn’t for me. and i am not alone.

    the problem with looking at a subject from only one point of view (expenses) is that many times your point of view doesn’t begin to address the needs.. let alone the wants.. of others.

    when i moved to my little rental house in Westwood it was rare to see a car parked on the street. A decade later and it is rare not to see several cars parked in front of my house. if it wasn’t for the alley behind the house which has off street parking i would literally be unable to park my car close enough to the house to use it. As a renter i do not qualify for a handicapped parking space in front of my home.
    first come first serve is great as long as you are fit enough to walk however far you have to walk to reach your destination… but if you aren’t.. for whatever reason… the lack of available parking becomes un insurmountable barrier.

    To our community,
    This is intended as a public and wholly unsolicited thank you to Craig & Mike Emmick at Emmick family funeral services. These men are compassionate, kind and and were extremely fair.

    When we unexpectedly lost a member of our family in the middle of the night, with one call and based upon 5 star Yelp reviews, we contacted the Emmicks (it was 3am…). They responded immediately, despite the early hour, came to our home and helped us through our very difficult time, taking care of everything, while keeping us gently informed.

    Throughout the next few weeks, the Emmick’s supported us, educated us and assisted with every step.

    When we received their invoice, we looked at each other and thought how incredibly fair Mike and Craig had been. In an industry generally known for aggressive sales when people are at their weakest emotional moments, the Emmick’s were exceptions to the rule and exceptionally kind.

    If you suffer the loss of a family member or need advice about funeral services, please call the Emmick’s. They’re local to our West Seattle community, they will soften the blow, and share factual information, while being very fair in all of their dealings.

    Apologies if this post feels in any way commercial, which was not our intent. Just a public thank you to some local guys who helped us through a tough time.

    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,

    S Lee Gilman

    Step 2: Do not call Southwest Plumbing.

    I had my side sewer replaced by O’Neill Plumbing and had a great experience (that is, if spending your money on sewer replacement can be considered “great”). The plumber I was referred to first gave me an “all in” price that assumed worst case scenario and highest price. O’Neill gave me a “phased approach” price that had their base cost to initiate the work, then depending on what they found along the way would increase accordingly. Turns out that I needed the “full deal” price anyhow, but at least I wasn’t given that price at the onset as my only cost option. Their crew was great to work with, very courteous and mindful of my home & yard. I also had O’Neill do a water main replacement a few years before I did the sewer work. Call Cevin at O’Neill for an estimate – they’re good folks.

    I’m really unfit and have been putting off trying to get back into any type of fitness routine for far too long. I recently saw that West Seattle Pilates opened up in the Harbor Ave ActivSpace (entrance on NE corner, back of the building against the fence) and decided to check it out. I’ve now been to five sessions (the mat class) and am really happy that it’s not intimidating and actually pretty enjoyable. If you’re like me and scared to jump into one of the more cardio-focused programs that abound, this might be a great way to ease into your fitness program.

    The room accommodates just four clients so you’ll get close attention. I believe that, as her client population increases, she’ll add more classes. http://www.westseattlepilates.com

    Yeah, I understand that some people build their lifestyles around having a car. I have two kids, anymore and I’d definitely need a car. I’d probably need a car to have a dog too, maybe. I’m also able-bodied and that matters a ton. What I’m trying to say is yeah, I get your point – that lots of people need cars. I have had many cars over the years when my circumstances were different. What I don’t understand why there are people who believe carless lifestyles are impossible or that carless families and people don’t exist.

    I’ve never needed to go to the ER thank god, but if there was a serious emergency with my child the LAST thing I would want to do is have to wrestle their injured little body into a car seat and frantically drive them to a hospital. That’s what ambulances are for.

    Hi WSB – our apartment complex’s storage unit was broken into over the weekend, and while the burglar left behind things of high value (skis, bicycles, electronics) they did take a carry-on hard-case silver Samsonite luggage from my wife and I. They also took a LeSportsac weekender bag that has a very high sentimental value and isn’t made anymore (it has an aloha stamp print on it (it looks like this stolen LeSportsac weekender bag ).

    A few other items were taken, but we would be particularly keen to get these back. If it’s been dumped somewhere and someone finds it, we would really appreciate getting these back! This was near the corner of Graham Street and California.

    Late to this thread, I know. Every time I use the path, I’m amazed how few people understand the basics of “multi-use.” Five-across walkers, center-of-path pedestrians with earbuds who can’t walk/run a straight line, riders of the four-person canopied bikes (bonus points for riding those two-abreast and going slower than a fast walking pace), and cyclists going 15mph or more who can’t bother with “on your left.” I run within 24 inches of the right edge and at least weekly get brushed by a cyclist passing without warning. A little courtesy and common sense can go a long, long way.

    This role will largely support the overall needs of the taproom, with a secondary focus on pouring beer.

    Here’s what we’re looking for:

    Flexible Schedule with willingness to pitch in and do everything! Are you open to working sporadic hours, short and long shifts, and also nights and weekends? We’re looking for someone who’s willing to do it all — including the not so glamorous stuff like cleaning in addition to pouring beer.

Plus notice there is a pile of pretzels on the ground in the corner that needs to be cleaned up? This is what we’re talking about.)
    Passion & willingness to go above and beyond: Do care about the small stuff? Do you notice a piece of trash on the ground an pick it up? Is it important to you to make sure each customer feels like they get the best experience possible? Does it bug you when you see something out of place? Do you get excited about a new beer that just came on tap? Do you care about the perfect pour? We care about this stuff and want someone who does too.
    – Someone who can be an extension of our team: Be prepared to work closely with ownership. We’re very involved—and are looking for this person to carry on the energy, vibe and experience of what we’ve already created.
