What our team says about the company.‘Close To Home has been an amazing place for me after leaving a high-stress job. Being outside, exercising and connecting with animals is the perfect antidote for career burnout and has helped tremendously with my depression and anxiety. Plus, the miles I’m walking have conditioned me enough so I am able to do all the hikes that seemed out of reach previously.’

We have become a complacent city, waiting for the worst to happen before taking action. What has happened to proactiveness and innovation regarding our growing population and lack of proper infrastructure to handle it?
I’m referring to streets that are still too unfriendly to bikers and pedestrians alike. The new Delridge? It’s another speeder’s haven, with plenty of ways to bypass those they feel are slow (even when those people are just following the limits set). I see it every single day walking my pup, people going 45+ in the bus lane to pass, people riding up on others, coming within inches, and distracted drivers on their cell phones cruising, unaware. What’s the point of setting a speed limit of 25 and having distracted driving laws if the police, buses and other vehicles are all allowed to go unchecked with their reckless behavior?
It’s not just Delridge, it’s within our neighborhoods, near our parks and schools. Every single day I walk the area (or even when I drive it), I’m faced with having to dodge these unsafe drivers and it’s now at a point that I call the police instantly to report. This past summer, I reached out to the city because the Delridge Playfield area, on all sides, have these reckless drivers blowing through intersections/stop signs/crosswalks, jumping over the “speed bumps” (if you’d call them that) and Genessee has numerous cars coming down the hill well over 40MPH with very few recognizing that there’s a park and crosswalks (even though there’s clear signage). The city’s response? “No mitigation is needed in this area, all work has been completed.” Not even a week after that, I witnessed a pedestrian get hit at the corner of Genessee and Delridge. Reached back out to the city with this info and was never given a response.
I do understand that the police have a lot on their plates and can’t catch every single person, but I have yet to see anyone pulled over in the 3-mile radius I walk. Instead, I see complacency, especially when I witness police cars going just as fast through these areas. The most recent biker to get killed by a hit-and-run driver is yet another instance that has encouraged me to speak up because it could be me, my dog, a friend or a neighbor who is the next victim in this vicious recurrence.
It is beyond frustrating to walk these streets and feel scared that I have a very real chance of being taken out by one of these reckless drivers. Just today and the second time this week, a person going well over 40MPH approached an intersection myself and my pup were already in, and nearly hit us. Their response was to flip me off and attempt to speed away. Unaware that I had gotten their plate and then saw that they went around the block again, I immediately called 911 with the description and plate #. While on the phone, she decided to confront me and ironically made it clear she wasn’t paying attention and did not see us in the intersection (obviously, as she nearly hit us and a car that was also joining the roundabout). She attempted to pit blame on me, for walking too fast in the crosswalk. WHAT? Have to roll my eyes to that.
The reason I am on here is because I am a truly concerned commoner, who loves this city and doesn’t want to keep seeing stories of complacency, usually headlined with the death of a fellow citizen who should be able to safely walk/bike our streets/neighborhoods.
What needs to change first is simple, consistent patrols AND accountability being shown to the public by pulling them over and citing them. Post the numbers of people pulled over for speeding at an intersection, skipping a stop sign or not stopping for a pedestrian/biker. Show that this behavior is not ok.
Next is a change in how we design streets. Why do we say we’re changing something to the benefit of peds/bikers, when streets like Delridge, Flauntleroy and others are insanely unsafe, even with the changes they’ve made. Speed cameras are an expensive option but one that could generate not only a revenue stream but more importantly, accountability to those breaking the laws of the road in areas the police cannot constantly be at. The speed bumps installed should actually slow people down to the recommended speed, rather than just providing a minor obstacle that usually does nothing to slow them down. Crosswalks on these major arterials should have crossing lights to allow people to notify drivers to stop (I NEVER cross Delridge unless I’m at a protected light because it is rare that anyone is going slow enough to stop for those waiting to cross).
Lastly, is education. Consistently provide info to residents so they know the rules, clearly and can be held accountable easily if they break those rules. Require that everyone pass a written test every 3 years and if they don’t, then they now must partake in a class. Make it difficult for those with multiple instances of reckless behavior to have or maintain a license.
We can’t continue complacency when it comes to people being able to live in safe environments without the dangers of those behind the wheel of vehicles. Being a proactive city means cutting back on deaths/injuries amongst pedestrians and bikers, and some of these ideas are ways to change that.
If you are not a biker/pedestrian, understand that you are behind something that is 100% controlled by YOU. Those walking or biking should absolutely be equally aware of their surroundings but know that your vehicle is capable of hurting/killing someone, not the other way around. The best thing each of us can do is tell our friends and family to slow down, speeding is not going to get them anywhere that much quicker statistically and IF something bad were to happen due to the reckless behavior, they’ve now just ruined someone else’s life and slowed themselves down even more.
We need to come together as not just West Seattle, but Seattle residents as a whole to find the better, more proactive approach to keeping everyone safe on our streets and within our neighborhoods.
Here’s to a safer 2024,

-URBAN ANIMAL of WHITE CENTER-
~CAUTION!
*NOT BOARD CERTIFIED*
Last Christmas I had to put Blue Down.
It still haunts me. He wasn’t even 4 years old.
Not Board Certified-
I didn’t even know that was a thing, until they used it as their excuse for botched care.
Our beloved dog (who stopped walking on his rear leg) would still be alive, if I had not trusted Urban Animal. Rather than do standard testing (x-rays under anesthesia) to find out what was wrong with our amazing 3 1/2 year-old Blue Nose pit bull. The Dr./Surgeon, guessed and assumed he tore his cruciate ligament. Never even considered it could be cancer. This sent Blue down the wrong path to certain death. After bending his leg- Dr. said “yep- he tore his cruciate ligament”. We need to do TPLO surgery. Cancer was never mentioned or even considered. Managements excuse for misdiagnosing and performing useless surgery was- “we are not board certified”.
By the time it was found out my dog had Osteosarcoma bone cancer, and not a torn ligament- it was too late. Tumors had completely spread through his body, after they screwed metal plates around and into the tumor.
Urban Animal did take $4000 on the failed TPLO surgery. Failed to do a biopsy at the time they found out they were actually doing the wrong treatment. Then my dog had to have the leg amputated ($2000) after they performed the wrong surgery (steel implant and screws)- which caused the tumor in his knee to grow to the size of a baseball. Before the amputation they did decide to finally do a biopsy ($700) which their joke of lab failed to even look at the results. They told me “we’re having lots of problems with this lab”.
Blue was put under anesthesia three times, twice for nothing.
Urban Animal did 86 me, after I schooled them on how to properly diagnose and carry out veterinary care for this condition.
Osteosarcoma is common in young and older dogs. The causes are unknown.
I looked into Fido care, and had acupuncture done for blue. Completely changed his diet. Went on all kinds of healthy supplements, RSO and CBD. Chemo ended up not being an option.
He was too far gone.
Blue did receive the Yale vaccine.
It was too late for it to help.
I even rented an oxygen machine for Blue.
I desperately tried to save my dog!
We were just sent down the wrong path, due to ignorant guessing.
All the oncologists, veterinarians and specialists I dealt with after leaving U.A. were great. Very knowledgeable, caring and compassionate. When I finally had to put Blue down- They sent us cards and a nice stone memorial with Blue’s name on it. Urban Animal didn’t care at all. Didn’t send any condolences or email response. When Urban Animal did fail on Blues care- They told me “we learned a lot from this, and are reviewing everything ”.
A horrible, 4 month, slow death process…
Sure, they’ll smile, and take your money- just be very careful.
Healing from the loss of Blue was/is extremely painful and difficult- even a year later.
None of this will bring Blue back to us.
My only intention is to pass this message to other people, who love their pets. I’m not saying everything Urban Animal does is awful. They just really messed up this case- and they know it.
Carrying out research. before trusting someone you don’t know is vital.
Also- standing in line, outside to make an appointment and then return, is a joke.
If people are going to judge and criticize- please find something else to do. I am creating awareness, to use caution, to do research.
You have to do your due diligence.
This post is worth it- if I can save just one dog or cat from unnecessary treatment.

They get paid enough for what they do. sell tickets and scoop pop corn annd bs with each other. went there today and they hadn’t turned the heat on our theater and then as we left they held signs to reinstate kiley. I made just slightly more than 25.00 an hour at the university and ran a program. Keep our neighborhood theaters open and for a begining job they don’t deserve 25.00 an hour. Get two jobs like the rest of the beginers. If Kiley doesn’t like what she signed up for Trader Joes is hiring and so are a lot of other places. Seems like the ticket takers just don’t want to work. Turn on the heat.

Please take a look at what happened to my son Gary , (15) born and raised in West Seattle junction & White center area
Gary took a trip to Metlakatla Alaska on 8-2-23 to meet his dad’s side of the family who live on the only Indian reservation in the state of Alaska , pretty neat small community of around 1600 and almost everyone there is probably related to him in some way . He was having a great time but unfortunately on 8-5 his trip was cut short after he slipped and fell from a 25ft coast guard tower him and some local kids were jumping off of into the ocean. The tower is also on a dock, and the dock is still about 15 ft or so above the water so in all, roughly 40-50 ft fall, broke the fall face first on the dock which knocked him unconscious into the water . Extensive injuries , surgeries, metal plate in chin ,missing teeth, really almost lost his life because he was unconscious and submerged into the water (🙏🙏) thankfully the kids acted quickly and got help and helped save him from the sea. Gary was airlifted in a guardian jet to Seattle within hours to receive adequate care they couldn’t provide in Alaska , was at harboriew over a week before discharging to me and coming home to heal . More info is in his Go fund me description if you use the link below. Please anything helps , the fundraising is mainly to restore his missing teeth (6 total , 5 top front) and get him permanent false teeth since insurance will not cover implants / vineeers , only dentures, which he will have but hopefully just temporarily . He is currently missing his 1st semester of sophomore year in high school , missing daily activities as well as sports which is his regular daily schedule , football , wrestling, baseball . He’s a Wonderful son , stays out of trouble , respectful, charming I could go on and on . Just so thankful we didnt lose him . Even if you can’t donate we appreciate you reading this post , or even just encouraging words for Gary mean so much , thanks for reading
Hopefully one or both of the links below work . Not sure since this is a forum type thingTopic: FREE BOOKS
