While shopping in the Alaska Junction QFC store today, I noticed 4 pet dogs. I just want to suggest that people consider their neighbors before bringing their pets into the grocery store. Please consider the safety for individuals who do have service animals and may want to shop in this store. Having pets in a store can be a distraction to a service animal and places that owner at risk of being harmed. Pets in a store makes it difficult for individuals to understand the difference between a pet who can be stopped and petted and a therapy dog who cannot without risking harm to their owner. Please also consider our fellow community members who fear dogs and what this does to their sense of safety. Lastly, please consider the harm this may cause individuals with allergies to dogs. The smoke these few weeks have been hard enough and this only adds to the issues of those who are already compromised. While you may prefer to have your pet by your side whenever possible, is it worth harming our community members? I also want to thank the QFC staff for being understanding and kind when I shared my concerns above.

Surprised there’s nothing about this on the main page, but what was with the helicopter over the duwamish?
Hovered over terminal 5 (area) then leapfrogged the bridge, went below the height of the bridge and disappeared from my sight-I was headed up the expressway hill (westbound).
Helicopter had some sort of gear on its nose…definitely not county (Guardian 1), no visible department identifiers…
Occurence about 10:50 am.

[PangolinPie]

Thanks for the suggestion, km935 – I did just that and got back a nice response from corporate.

[JanS]

not only did they send you a ballot, the return postage was FREE! How easy can they make it? If you think things are bad now, keep up the no voting records, and imagine how bad things will be in 6 years under this regime. Boggles the mind how completely uninvolved some people are…do they not care? prefer to bitch instead of doing something about it while this country goes down in flames?

Hi Everyone, I need your help!

I desperately need to replace a septic guy who never shows up when he promises he will, drinks beer while he and his partner work (which is never more than 45 minutes at a time), parks his truck on the lawn, puts out cigarettes on the patio, and always wants cash on the spot. He’s left the job half done, and he was a no-call no-show today. Our tank is about to overflow again, and it’s already been pumped 3 times in the past couple of weeks.

I’m also looking for recommended deck builders. I have a bid from someone suggested here in an older thread, and I hoping to get a couple more bids.

Thanks so much!

I old lab caught a rabbit in our backyard. He was very proud of himself and was preparing to have a light snack of hasenpffer. Alas, I had to take it away because I didn’t want to wash gut off my deck. I was pretty impressed, though! He’s 11 and was fast enough to catch a rabbit?! He had the biggest smile I’ve ever seen. He probbly would’ve shared with me, too, because I’m his best friend next to my daughter.

Want to work with the most amazing pets? We are looking to hire both a dog walker and Cat sitter or someone who would like to do both for our West Seattle / Burien clients.

What an incredible opportunity! Who doesn’t want to spend time with the most amazing pets, meet new people, get paid to exercise and earning supplemental income?

Heart 2 Heart Pet Care is an established and highly recommended pet sitting and dog walking company established in 2008. We serve our neighbors in West Seattle, Burien, Normandy Park, Seatac and Des Moines. Due to the nature of the job living within our service area is recommended due to the amount of travel required to visit pets.

This is an employee position W2, we do not use independent contractors.

Dog Sitting is only offered to our dog walking clients. Service offered 7 days a week between 7am – 8pm.

Overnight Pet Sitting

Overnights are for those pet parents who don’t want to leave their pets alone overnight due to various reasons. You would need to stay in the clients home for a minimum of 10 – 12 hours depending on your pet sitting schedule. Service is offered 7 days a week.

This is supplemental income and should not be relied on as your only source of income.

KBear: Not sure you read or understood the jist of my whole post, but I absolutely understand this group IS real (didn’t say it wasn’t) and I’m in no way advocating for them (“not a clue who this person is”, “IMO”) but carry on. I’m VERY aware of what is going on in our country and community and for you to suggest otherwise is just “false” but you too are entitled to your opinion.

[WSB]

Some people are shy. Trust me. And shyness can be mistaken for gruffness.

Anyway, we have lived not far from the uppermost end of those stairs for a quarter-century and walk past the top of them multiple times every day. Walked the stairs many times in younger years. There are always runners and joggers using them (though I’ve never seen more than a couple at a time). They are not a “park” as described above but an actual SDOT right-of-way – with Seattle’s hills, more than a few streets include stretches of stairway where it was too steep for a street to be built. The top stretch has only one house bordering it (though there has been a long-pending proposal for another one) but the lower stretch, which is less steep, goes between houses, most if not all with fenced yards. Anyway, whichever stretch, it’s public property, so it belongs to you, and to all of us. – TR

[webshaf]

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.

[J242]

I know it doesn’t help but it could be a lot worse. Amazon’s outsourcing of deliveries have an infinitely worse track record. Think Uber for mail. It’s horrible. While getting your packages at the street is indeed messed up (package theft opportunity anyone?) at least they are getting it to your house. I’ve had three packages (1 which was over $2K in computer equipment) delivered to an unreasonably different address across the street and down TWO BLOCKS!

For the most part, USPS has been a great, reliable, trustworthy service and I’m glad we have it. Sucks you’ve had some friction with them though. :( Might I suggest taping a post-it note to the front of your mailbox stating “Package deliveries ^” (pointing towards your front door)? I don’t know if it would help or be considered rude by the postal delivery folk or whatnot but just an idea.

no.. my heads up that this was an old thread weren’t the dates…
i didn’t notice them until after i saw the jiggers posts..
sometimes he was a major pain in the behind.. but i miss him

[JoB]

RIP jiggers…

[dhg]

That time of year, I suppose. A couple came to our door at 6:30pm, Fauntleroy neighborhood. I politely said that they needed City ID and the woman said she had a tag and showed me a white card pinned to the bottom of her sweater (!). The guy said he just hadn’t brought his along. I told them that I’ve already heard the pitch, been there, done that and no thank you. I was very polite. The woman was polite and thanked me and turned away, but the guy said “asshole”. I was shocked and said what? He said, “You heard me, I’ll tell you to your face, you are both assholes.” (My partner had just popped up behind me.). I’d feel stupid calling the police but that guy’s attitude suggests he might take advantage of the elderly.

[wsb1984]

Of course we are all responsible for pedestrians, I am not suggesting otherwise. Just asking parents to consider the risk they put their children at when they teach them to play in the street. I was upset and wrote this because I almost hit a kid who was not taught about the dangers of doing so. It’s lazy, irresponsible parenting. If your kid is the one who gets hit, how could you live with yourself? Even if you could find a reason to blame the driver, it would be difficult to avoid thinking, “You know, if I’d taken her to the park instead…” Anyhow, I’m not trying to argue or outwit anyone and I’m done ranting about this for good. Just actually concerned about the safety of the kids who are not being taught to know any better.

There were quite a few fireworks in Arbor Heights yesterday, day and night. One bomb sounded much larger than an M-80. I saw something that was quite disturbing. I was working outside and heard/saw the rocket go up. It exploded near some birds that were flying over. Their flight became very erratic, struggling. They were clearly injured in some way. They fluttered some distance, then disappeared. I also saw the debris fall from the sky onto neighbor’s property. I’m still finding crap in my yard.

The only explanation as to why this idiocy is still going on is that stupid is forever.

“There’s a third option, work to get real enforcement of the issue. SPD could make a serious dent in their operating budget for the year in just two nights by ticketing anyone they see lighting anything bigger than sparklers. Set off a role of black-cats? That’s $5K. Set off mortar shells? That’s $5K for each round.”

what a great idea… if only they would take neighbor’s pictures as evidence …

[TreeHugger]

I possibly lost my keys there. There were two on a key ring that looks like a bicycle. One key has red, white and blue.

“PS…I’m a 55 yr old man and fireworks have been going off as far back as I can remember, do I like them, no, do they keep me awake at night, yes sometimes but they’ll probably keep going off until the day I leave this earth”

Seems like a very defeated attitude. Why? I don’t understand that. Public nuisances that a lot of people vocally dislike and want to end can be stopped. If 1 house on a block throws loud ragers every night, the police can step in with fines to address the problem. The same can be done with fireworks.

“so I can either ignore them or let my inner sole dwell on them and turn into a grumpy old man, what do you think?”

Set off mortar shells? That’s $5K for each round.

Taking a no-holds-barred approach for just one year would drive so much news everyone would know about it and maybe, just maybe, they’d drive or catch a bus south for the the 1-3 miles to WC/Burien to set them off instead. You know, where it’s actually legal? Here in my neighborhood during New Year’s the idiots across the street were setting off larger rockets (not penny-bottle rockets but not mortars) AT cars. SPD didn’t do anything about it even though I said I had video of them doing it repeatedly. That’s offensive. It shouldn’t take a serious accident before this changes but it’s only a matter of time before one of these tools sets a forest fire, or causes a car accident, or physically injures someone. Why is that an acceptable risk?
