newnative, there have been a couple of recent discussions about fireworks on NextDoor recently that have turned ugly as well and in the same manner as you describe. The current one, of course regarding the Seahawks/NYE fireworks, the other started maybe a couple months or so ago now, more specifically about the “Seahawks Cannon” that somebody sets off. The discussion has pretty much encompassed the Highland Park/S.Delridge/White Center/Shorewood/Arbor Heights areas. People have shared their stories about traumatized dogs (the Original Post was about a person’s dog being traumatized.

In that earlier post, one of the neighbors went to the trouble of organizing a neighbor meet-up to get both sides together to civilly discuss the issue and see if a compromise could be worked up. I believe the original intent was to meet at a local coffee shop but there was so much interest expressed that the organizer reserved a room at the White Center Library.

Within minutes, fewer than 10, IIRC, the meeting got ugly. There was yelling, swearing, and at least threats of physical violence, if not actual physical violence. The police were called, the meeting participants were kicked out of the library, and other people had already left out of fear of the violence getting worse. The organizer, who seemed to have nothing but the best of intentions of bringing neighbors together to resolve an issue was so humiliated that he left ND, although I believe he has returned.

Both discussions have devolved into name-calling, and commenters going back-and-forth insulting each other. Also some nasty language. Makes me glad that WSB actually enforces their rules on commenters interacting with each other in a civil manner. I’m considering leaving ND these arguments and unenforced rules get so ridiculous. The minimal benefits I get from the site just aren’t worth it. (Yes, I know individual discussions, etc, can be muted).

But, yeah, enforcement really needs to happen. Time and time again, for years, when I’ve read comments here on WSB, about fireworks, saying that the laws need to be enforced, in my mind I have agreed, *but*, have been of the mindset of how difficult, if not logistically impossible it would be to enforce, especially on July 4th, but repeated attempts at *civil* discussion, repeated reminders of how traumatizing the noise can be for pets and veterans, repeated reminders of the fire dangers and citing specific examples of homes burnt down by fireworks, and repeated reminders that fireworks are illegal in Seattle, and have very limited legality in Unincorporated King County, if not falling on deaf ears, are met with; “It’s only *one* day a year!” “Why don’t you just go out of town that day?” “Doesn’t bother *my* dog* any!” “They have tranquilizers/Thundershirts for your dog!”, “Why don’t you just board your dog for that *one* night?” “You’re Anti-American!”

So, yeah, I really don’t have an answer on what to do other than maybe continued prodding of SPD/The Mayor/The City Council. :-/

I can’t use the words I’d like to, here, to express how much I hate the attitude of people who light off fireworks and shoot cannons. They KNOW it scares animals, they KNOW it makes veterans uncomfortable, and they KNOW it wakes people up. They just simply don’t care, and have decided that it’s more important that they have their loud fun. And in the last few years, it’s not just the fourth of July and new Years, it’s every Sunday during football season, and then also at random times.

But the same conversations happen every year. People are unhappy and upset, and the fireworks people scoff and say “you should know it’s going to happen” and “if you don’t like it you should move” and “you should have prepared your dog” (that was an actual comment on Facebook!). Victim-blaming at its best. But it’s all just their way of saying “I am more important than you are.” And those people will not change. But I promise, if I ever see anyone lighting fireworks in my neighborhood, I’m going to call 911 until the cops show up. I’m quite sure that the police don’t care at all, but I’ll make myself annoying enough that it will add at least one voice to those protesting this selfish behaviour. I’d encourage everyone to do the same, until the police are forced to listen.

I am one of the many pet owners who spent New Year’s eve trying to calm already tranquilized pets. The fireworks started with the first SeaHawks touchdown and literally did not quit in my Westwood neighborhood till 3 AM. By then my dog was a quivering mass roaming my house looking for any safety he could find.

big deal.. right? No matter how much i treat my pet as a member of the family.. it’s only a dog, right?

Well, no. Our neighborhood was the location of fatal gunshots this year.. and vets with PTSD live on this street.. as do new babies and a few elderly. the same fireworks that had my dog reeling in spite of the largest dose of tranquilizers i could safely give him left people reeling too.

Those few minutes of “innocent” fun added up to hours of misery for many… a misery that is no longer confined to special occasions… unless of course you count any score for any major sporting team a special occasion.

It’s particularly ironic that people who are outraged when someone else’s tree dumps leaves in their yard.. or blows those leaves during naptime .. or leaves a bag full of dog waste in their garbage can justify stealing the peace of their neighbors… it’s just innocent fun..

unless of course you are the victim.

Most plug-in type sump pumps will be just fine for the receptacles in homes. The inrush isn’t something that should present much of a problem. They have floats that should control the pump. If this is a regular problem, however, you should consider a more permanent pump and control system. three float systems are really your best bet. These provide a deadband so the pump doesn’t cycle on and off when there’s water flowing and a high level alarm in case the water is rising faster than the pump can handle OR isn’t working. These systems start at about $1500 for all of the equipment but don’t include installation. It really comes down to how important is a dry basement?

I prefer Zoeller.

Are cats safer indoors? Yes. But I’m with EdSane in that I believe their quality of life is better if they can go out. It’s in their nature to want to be outdoors. My last cat lived to 17. As she got older, she spent more time indoors than outdoors, which was natural too.

My current cat is 10, and as a small kitten, she once jumped off a second story balcony in her desire to roam the outdoors. I learned pretty quickly that trying to keep her indoors was futile. She loves being outside, and goes out in rain and snow. She is the kind of cat who greets people walking past my house, and she’s introduced me to people on my block, because they always stop to pet her.

I do worry about the risks of letting her outside, and I make sure she’s in at night. But I believe the risks are worth it for the richer life my cat leads as a result.

You’d need an electrician to make sure you’ve got a circuit capable of supporting the sump pump. The motor inrush current can be quite a bit, making it difficult to share with other items.

We had O’Neil, a plumbing place, out to work on our basement water ingress. It was an indoor basement perimeter french-drain. Despite few changes at the house in the past 55 years, it appears that the water table rose enough that water ingress was happening pretty regularly with rain. We wondered if a lot of the efforts to disconnect downspouts from the sewer system have had this side-effect.

I’m not sure you can just dig a single pit for a sump pump. I think it’s a visible part of a whole draintile system.

[happywalker]

We live up in Highland Park and get water in our basement every year at this time. We have lived in the same home for over 30 years. About 27 years ago we had a company pour a cement floor so the water would drain down the new drain they put in. We also had a French drain put in around our house as recommended. But after all of this time still has water when it rains heavy and steady…At the time I didn’t know enough to ask about a sump pump. Well I’m ready! Does anyone have any pointers or info regarding a sump pump? Who would I call a plumber or electrician? Help!!

[Krista C.]

I was the person who moved the poor kitty off the road on Barton. I felt so bad for the poor darling. I admit to crying as I moved him. I have indoor only cats at home and I could never handle letting them outside, ever. Outdoor cats have such shorter lives than indoor cats.

Hello my name is Dany and I have been searching for a 3 bedroom home for my family in the West Seattle area. My lease is over February 1st and I haven’t had any luck with finding a place to call home. I have a 3 bedroom section 8 voucher for $2000 including wsg, I believe no more then $2,040. I currently work full time as an assistant teacher with the West Seattle Ymca preschool and would love to reside in West Seattle. I have been a loyal tenant where I am staying now for almost 5 years. Reasons for moving is because we are living in a 2 bedroom apartment on the third floor with no elevator and little space. My goal is to get my 9 and 4 year old kids into a home with more space, each of them have their own room and a backyard to play in. I wasn’t sure what to do next and that’s why I am posting this on here. I am hoping this post will reach out to all the private home owners looking for a tenant to rent out their home. I am just a mother trying to do better who just need someone to notice that I am trying regardless of credit scores. I have really great payment history and work references if that means anything. you can leave me a comment with your contact info if you can help. Thank you and god bless
