I put my bike in repair at West Seattle Cyclery toward the end of last year and it needed parts ordered specially. I was out of the country over the holiday period and came back to find the shop closed and empty. I presume (hope!) they still have my bike but have no contact details.
Does anybody have any contact with the former owner and could help me track down my bike.
Many thanks

Topic: Please don’t tailgate buses!
Or at all, of course, but tailgating buses, which by definition make frequent stops, is especially pointless.
This morning my bus driver had to leave me behind because someone was following him so closely that he couldn’t safely stop at the bus stop.
I get it that our streets, even some of our arterials, are pretty narrow, and it can be frustrating to be behind a bus. That person had other options, though: they could have passed the bus when it was legal and safe to do so; they could have diverted a block and gotten ahead of the bus; or they could have just observed a safe and legal following distance knowing that they were behind a bus that was going to need to stop.
Instead, I’m late for work, and that bus driver is probably going to be worrying all day that I’m going to complain to Metro. And for what? I doubt the tailgating driver got where they were going any sooner.
Let’s please remember that we all have places to get to, the roads exist so that we can all get to those places, and when we’re out there on the roads we have a responsibility to take each other into account.

Please this is not a form letter or spam.
* Lisa Herbold is kind of our rep.
* Spoke with Bruce Harrells legislative asst.
* Spoke with Sally Bagshaws asst., who was oddly interested in telling me how the legislative process works??
This is about TAXES vs DYING PEOPLE, not Saturday School House Rock.
PLEASE ignore the rhetoric, but I am sad and angry.
Before you read this I would ask that you think about any person(s) you love the most….and read it from that place in your head.
Your soda tax just ensured a more direct and painful experience for my partner who has incurable cancer and diarrhea so bad, we have to ensure he keeps his electrolytes balanced and now you have added more stress to an already heartbroken partner….or if it makes it easier, tax payer.
I ask you to read this all the way through, but I will be honest, I need to vent, but I will be respectful (as best I can)…I just ask that you read this all the way through….PLEASE!!
Let me state it right off the bat…been a Democrat my entire life, I have zero belief in god and I have been with my partner for 24 years, what hopefully will be, 25 years just like any other couple.
Please keep reading…PLEASE!!
This is me…
• I am no saint but I believe if we all stopped and talked to one another, the decisions we make could be more thoughtful…but it’s not that way.
• When I go out to eat, I only eat 1/2 my meals and package the other 1/2 and give it to a homeless person. They are gonna maybe eat from a trash can, so why not try to make sure its ok? And I avoid unnecessary overeating…win/win
• I have not eaten meat and never fish for almost 30 years now…I love animals but I don’t push my belief on others. Although I hope if there is a god, he/she is an actual cow, that would be justice :)
• I acknowledge homeless people as they are people, but I don’t randomly give my money…but I will buy you a burger
• I will do random acts of kindness like buy $2500 annually worth of dog food from my local pet store and ask them to give them to anyone who needs the help. We have a lot of people over here who can barely take care of themselves and it bothers me their animals could suffer as well, so I just try to take the stress off. (PetPros in Westwood village)
• And yes, I am the a**hole who reads the fine print on contracts at Apple Computer counter making others find another register. Not trying to be an a**, but if you are going to put a contract on 30 sheets of receipt paper, then I am going to read it before I sign.
• I help random people out and ask that, at some point in their life, pay me back by doing one kind selfless thing for another person. Only they know if they will ever pay me back…but that’s not what it’s about.
• I have lots of faults, but that’s not going to help my letter.
My best asset though, I wake up each day and reflect on the day before and make sure to address any regrets. I am not perfect at this, however if I can at least try…then I am a better man. I don’t need to believe in a god to try and be a good person.
Now that you have a picture of me….let me paint a picture of my partner who has been GRAVELY affected.
• Lived here his whole life
• Has NEVER bounced a check although he at times had no food. His bills came first because he promised to pay back debts before himself. Even in his challenged health he makes sure his bills are paid before he lays down for his frequent naps.
• His credit score is 802
• In his 25 years at the Seattle Times, he missed 12 days of work. Even when he had to drive from W. Seattle to Bothell he was the man you could count on …..and I have counted on him to be my friend and partner for the last 25 years.
About 5 years ago, he was diagnosed with cancer. Group Health unfortunately did not follow up with him, and it spread and now is incurable. He went from 145/150 lbs, to a low of 115 (today 121).
The new chemo is kicking his a**, but he is trying to fight. He loses so much water due to his upset stomach, so we use electrolytes to keep him balanced.
Soda Tax
So now not only do we have the expenses and stress of cancer on a single income:
Strike 1: Cancer
Strike 2: House collapsing…ask Lisa Herbold, and now
Strike 3: Taxing Gatorade…THE one thing he can stomach. So now you have doubled a cost effective “medication”. He can’t do pedialyte and its $5.00….it was not designed for adults who can drink much more especially when they are sick.
Maybe your plan was “So what, they can drive to another city or county and buy all the pop or gatorade they want…as long as we get our cut for those who don’t”. Let’s be honest, you can say it’s all for a specific pet project, but it will routed to the general fund before the first tax hits the tax collectors.
I am not fundamentally against making it a luxury that is taxed because of the damage it does, but I am sure the council thought heavily about, instead of punishing tax payers, they could incentivize businesses to carry products from companies who think about humans, health and the environment?? The magical image Seattle likes.
Maybe tax breaks for
• Smaller packaging – less landfill crap
• Healthier and properly portioned products
• Recyclable products (yes Seattle is working on this but again in a weird revenue way)
• Sustainable products
Reward a business that is willing to do that. At the end of the day in this scenario, doesn’t everyone win?? Seattle prides itself on these ideas, so why not encourage the people who bring product to sell in Seattle, to participate??
So the point of this story was to tell you that your tax has effectively put my family in ration mode again to TRY and save the one I love.
I am not interested in having to get a doctor’s note to be tax exempt, but if that’s what has to be done at least do something. City Council did not think this through except to only address a council pet project for the downtown core, but we are real people tax payers.
Please Fix this! He should not have to suffer any more at the hands of Seattle City Council, destroying anything that does not improve downtown…
If you made it this far, I hope you understand my only concern is my partner. I need to fight for him and every other person who doesn’t know how or have the energy.
Please pretend this was your family on a modest means and do the right thing.

Topic: Great American grill
Finally got to the grill. Went on a Sunday night, thinking a less crowded place would be a good first time test. Got seated very promptly. Got water, then sat for about 15 minutes before someone came to take our order. There were only a few other tables with customers. Food came out at a normal wait. Food was just OK. Fish and chips were a bit fishy. I think it was the owner who brought my fish and chips. Told me the fish was very fresh. The owner had to go to two tables to talk to unhappy diners. One table of 4 next to us, he finally comped their meal. My main issue is the 7 large TV screens tuned to 3 different stations. Makes for visual chaos. One had the volume turned up. Quite annoying. One had closed captioning. The other five had programs but no sound or CC. That is fine with sports, as it is a visual program. But 60 minutes with no CC – whats the point? The service and food were not good enough to counter the TV annoyance. I doubt I will be back for dinner. Might try brunch some morning, as I hear that is good.
My husband believes he lost his wedding band while playing basketball at LA Fitness on Saturday around 10am. OR it fell out of his bag while walking back to our apartment on Fauntleroy WAY + Alaska.

Hello, I’m in desperate need of moving help. I have items in storage that I finally get to move into a home after 6 months. I will rent a truck (hopefully available), meet you at my storage unit here in West Seattle, load and unload in Madison Valley/ Madison Village.
Honestly the move is not hard, did this 6 months ago with one other person and I’m a 5’1″ female around 100lbs. The furniture is not super heavy, it’s just a bulky. I would do it again but my Fibromyalgia flares real bad.List of items:
Bookcase-light
TV Console- about 3ft tall, long a bit heavy
Bedroom Dresser- about 3ft tall, long a bit heavy
Full size mattress
2 couches- 1 is a bit tricky to handle because it’s oddly shaped but won’t fall apart when handled.
The rest is just small boxes and bags of clothes.I do not need help arranging furniture or moving it back and forth. It is a small place, one floor, just move stuff through the door pretty much.
So why not look on Craigslist? I did, it’s expensive for me. I can’t offer much and they are asking for more than I can pay and require more hours than I need them for. I don’t think this will take long with 2 strong guys or ladies if you aren’t moving slow on purpose.
I can pay $20 per hour per person. No less than 2 hours for sure considering commute, most likely 3 hours. I wanted to start early in the day but didn’t get replies so any time before 4pm that way I can make sure I can rent a moving truck. If anyone knows for sure Tuesday the 16th be a definite yes I am also fine with that.Chris
Hello everyone!
There is a program called the US Youth Ambassadors program that is funded by the US Department of State. This program sends teenagers from the US to either Central or South America to learn about US diplomacy, civic engagement , and how to be a global citizen. This is a competitive program to apply for as it is open nationwide.
However, I was 1 of 9 students selected to travel last year to Brazil and I was able to meet the US Ambassador to Brazil, the Consulate General to Rio de Janeiro, and many US diplomats. I also got to visit many Brazilian schools and spend time with the youth there. Words can’t describe how amazing this experience was.
Here’s is the application link : https://youthambassadors.worldlearning.org/YA/WL_SiteLogin
THE DEADLINE HAS BEEN EXTENDED TO JANUARY 26 ! AGAIN, THIS IS A FULLY FUNDED TRIP. I paid NOTHING and got to go to DC then Brasilia then Pernambuco then Rio de Janeiro.(I’d also be happy to to be a reference for any applicants if they need help with their applications)
Best Regards,
Clarissa PerezWhen walking my dog this morning, I saw a white bucket filled with folded clothing. Close to the top was a little baby blanket with the name, Athziry y Jaldel, on top. Before I donate it, I wanted to see if I might be able to reconnect it with its owner.
