WCFB has also undergone a recent organizational structure shift, expanding current staff roles to create a full-time Operations Manager and Community Outreach Manager.

We’ve got a 3 year old Vizsla who is VERY well behaved but needs her exercise! We live in Seaview and occasionally we have days when my husband and I are both out of the house for 10+ hour days.

We’d love to find someone local who would be willing to come over and throw fetch for our dog in the backyard or at a local park for about an hour of exercise (sometime between the hours of appx 10am and 2 pm).

At the moment, the days aren’t very predictable – it’d be an occasional Tue/Wed/Friday, and we’d give at least a weeks notice before we need help.

Contact us with your info and fee if you’re interested in this but are OK with the rather unpredictable schedule.

Thanks!

Recently, while walking down the street in the Admiral District, I found a diamond ring and would love to give it back to whoever lost it. It is either silver or white gold (my jewelry knowledge is lacking).

There is something engraved on the inside of the ring so if you think this may be yours please let me know what the inscription is (and any other details you may have) and I’ll happily return your precious.

Hi, my car window was smashed in at the Met Market parking lot. On April 1st, 2017 around 4:15 p.m
It was a Grey 2010 Prius.
Canvas tote was stolen containg my dark brown leather day planner and headset and white mesh makeup bag among other miscellaneous items.
Would love to have it returned if found or any info regarding the break in.
Thank you, any help is appreciated.

[22blades]

Glad to hear you got at least your trailer back. We’ve had our wheels stolen twice on one of our cars in the past 2 years and it’s always a violation to look out at the driveway & process what you’re (not) seeing. A neighbor had his trailer stolen in broad daylight. Somebody got into my car last month without any damage which probably means they had an electronic key. I don’t leave anything to steal in it… Our “normal” is getting a bit alarming.

Why did you sign up for Medicare if you are still working and receiving health insurance from your employer? I hope it was because your employer required you do so or you expect to pay less with Medicare than your employer’s insurance. The Medicare contact should have worked with you to determine the best approach.

As to additional coverage to Part B, you need to determine what your likely medical expenses will be based on your health status and age. If it’s good and you expect little medical intervention, you can get a Medicare Advantage policy with no monthly fee but significant deductables and co-pays. One simple surgical procedure can cost you about the same as a complete Medicare Supplement policy that covers most everything Part B doesn’t.

When it comes to Medicare Supplement policies, the cost is more or less the same for the main insurance providers. What you need to do is select from a half dozen policies with differing costs and co-pays. The insurance companies lay it out clearly on their web sites. Medicare does as well and will indicate which companies have approved programs in your state.

Found a set of keys on the sidewalk tonight in front of Breathe Hot Yoga on 35th Ave SW.

Let me know if you think they’re yours and I’ll give you my contact info.

Happy to meet at Starbucks or somewhere else convenient to get them back to you. :)

WS79, if rainbow crosswalks are cited more often than other poor decisions made by this mayor (and I don’t know that they are) it’s probably because this particular waste of money was so extremely frivolous and therefore memorable. That doesn’t make it homophobic; things have changed since 1979, although I’m sure there are still some grumbling homophobes closeted around here.

BTW, Murray is not our first gay mayor.

[anonyme]

Location: parking lot of California & Erskine 7-11
Time: just past 2 pm today
Car: gold with black trim Mini-Cooper, license beginning with 960?
Driver: female with shortish dark hair

While waiting for the bus, I heard someone cry out. Turned around just in time to see the vehicle back into an elderly woman with a cane who was crossing the parking lot. The impact caused her to stagger sideways and almost fall. She was shouting “stop, stop” the entire time. The driver just turned and headed out of the parking lot. I chased after the car as best I could (not young myself) yelling at them that they had hit someone. They slowly continued down the block as if they knew someone was shouting at them but oblivious as to the reason.

Here’s the thing. The elderly pedestrian was moving at a crawl. If the driver had looked behind them for even a second, she would have been clearly visible. Certainly she would have been visible as she clung screaming to the left rear side of the vehicle. This is not a case of someone running behind a backing vehicle while in their blind spot. This could only have happened if they did not look AT ALL before or during backing.

The woman was OK, glad that someone had stood up for her, but wanted to be on her way. Otherwise, I would have stayed and helped her file a police report. I got the impression that she had made eye contact with the driver at some point.

If anyone knows this mini-brained, mini-moraled Mini driver, please let them know they nearly killed someone today – if they care. I’ve never seen such horrible driving in my entire life as I’ve witnessed in West Seattle recently. This behavior is shameful and inexcusable.

As usual, the devil is in the details. The updated price came to $66k although the $100k had already been widely reported. It does not take into account the fact that the crosswalks were quite worn and were overdue for a re-painting. The cost was paid out of fees levied at developers for use of the right of way. Back in 1979 this very same city had two police officers putting an initiative before the voters to strike down anti-discrimination laws. It was left to the majority to decide how a minority was to be treated and the majority decided by a squeaker that it was wrong to discriminate. The Seattle Times protested, KIRO 7’s manager was practically foaming at the mouth. Police continued to raid gay bars hoping to find someone to cite for any infraction, minor or major. In light of the city’s history, I think OP raises a very good point.
