Our furnace died unexpectedly two weeks ago, and we called Greenwood in a bit of a panic. They were great. Techs arrived the day we called; because we were “no heat” clients, we were bumped to the top of the list for services. Within hours, they had provided four space heaters to get us through the weekend, and on Monday a crew arrived to install a new heat pump. By Tuesday, the process was complete. The techs were not only very professional, they were friendly and very courteous. Five stars plus to Greenwood.

Loud boom! I’m by PPC. Sounded like a firework? Or maybe a blown transformer?
Hello,
I’m the mother of a 2 1/2 year old and finding it incredibly frustrating how few low cost or free activities exist for us to participate in after I get off work in the evenings. It seems every parent activity in our area is designed for stay-at-home parents (generally moms). We’ve done everything I can think of – joined the West Seattle Health Club, go to The Little Gym but it shouldn’t require us to pay over a hundred dollars a month for every activity our child participates in, not to mention the inflexibility of time associated with these small windows of availability. Have others found other things to do with their kids in the evenings during these long dark months? Thank you!Update 11-22: I received quite a few responses and am currently reviewing and responding at this time. Thank you!
I am a 40 something female recovering from an injury in Admiral District. I need help with some light housekeeping, meal prep, and would love someone to chat with. I do not need help with any personal or medical needs. I am looking for someone (female) who is compassionate, personable, and can help with light tasks and would enjoy sitting down for a round of cards or a board game.

I’m looking for someone with (micro) soldering skills who might be able to remove a broken part from a small PCB (from a vintage iPod) and solder on a replacement part (which I have). I’ve inquired at a few local electronics repair places but their quotes exceed the cost of a new circuit board. But I’d hate to let this fairly rare, out of production board go to waste though I simply don’t have the equipment or skills to make the repair. So I just thought I’d throw this up here as I know that West Seattle is chock full of skilled people. Thanks in advance.

blair@admiral-electric.comTopic: body shop
Someone clipped my 2002 subaru outback and partially tore the front bumper off. It’s still attached on one side, but hanging over the headlight on the other side. Someone suggested I ziptie it on to get it to a body shop. I don’t need a perfect job done, just need to be able to drive it. Any recommendations for a reasonable body shop, or very handy people who might have an idea how to jury rig this? I’m off of 35th by the West Seattle Library…..thanks.
Just trying to verify that I am following the rules of the road. I have seen people make contradicting comments here in the blog.
For traffic circles (rules of the road) is this correct?
1. Traffic circles are considered “circular intersections.”
RCW 46.04.1182. Follow any STOP or YIELD signs at the circle.
RCW 46.61.1903. If the circle has no control signs:
The first vehicle to arrive goes first.
RCW 46.61.180If two vehicles arrive at the same time, the vehicle on the right has the right-of-way; the vehicle on the left yields.
RCW 46.61.1804. Always drive to the right of the circle (counter-clockwise around the island).
RCW 46.61.135If you happen to find several emergency/first aid supplies dumped, my truck was broken into last night. Hopefully the person uses the supplies (emergency blanket, narcan, alcohol wipes, tweezers, individually wrapped OTC medicines, child’s bandaid tin, EpiPen, liquid Benadryl, etc).
If it’s dumped and you find it, would you please comment and I’ll reach out. I’ll replace everything in a couple days anyway. I can’t be out and about with a kiddo without first aid supplies.
Also if you are missing a large castle shaped cake tin, it was left in my truck.
