On the West Seattle Bridge after the high rise and on 99 Northbound I often notice the smell of fermenting wort or the smell one gets when brewing beer or malt for whiskey. I am guessing it is the predominance of Whiskey/Beer brewers along 1st Ave north and south of Spokane. Given our wind patterns (N/S/SW) I’d be surprised if it hits Genessee or Admiral but we do get the odd east wind every now and then.

Perhaps that is the smell people are noticing?

I received a flyer from city in early fall saying I had to get my cats licensed. They stay indoors 100% of the time. Among the so-called benefits of the license, according to the city, “Reunites lost pets with their owners”, “Helps fund the care and adoption of shelter animals” and “Protect your community from animal related issues”.

Well my two rescue cats are microchipped, spayed, and totally indoors. So reuniting my cats with me is unlikely, and if it happens then we can be reunited when the microchip is read (which I already paid for). In addition to adopting my cats I donate money to the humane society when the cat mobile visits the West Seattle Farmer’s Market or Thriftway. The only animal related issue of concern for my cats is my feeding and caring for them, and in the very unlikely event they escape they may become coyote food.

I guess if they called it a dog license they would never have created this law and let’s face it, dogs are the primary target.

So while I am Randy Rulefollower a majority of the time this is one case where I am a scofflaw. If this is such a critical need they should fund it out of the general fund and cut back on needless expenses (and please don’t tell me there aren’t any in the City’s budget which continues to grow beyond inflation–Families and Education Levy anyone?)

Hello Commuter Families!

As you know, WSF has been revising the triangle ferry routes to improve service and reliability. WSF has been partnering with VISD during this process and I would like to thank them for their collaboration. WSF has recently posted their final schedule that will be effective starting March 31, 2019.

I would like to take a few minutes to update you on the most recent WSF Triangle Route Schedule. Please see the following initial notes:
Vashon Island High School and McMurray Middle School sailings:

Fauntleroy students: no change for primary commute sailings; 7:05am /3:25pm for regular days and 9:30am on late start days. In addition, the schedule includes 5:05pm and 6:45pm sailings from Vashon to Fauntleroy, which may help students, staff, and families who are returning from after school activities.

Southworth students: 6:45am/3:30pm for regular days and 9:20am on late start days. There are also plenty of later options for after school activities or the like, including 3:55, 5:00, 5:35, 6:05, 6:40, 7, and later.
Chautauqua Elementary School sailings:

Fauntleroy students: 8:25am /4:40pm for regular days and 10:40am on late start days.

Southworth students: 7:55am /5:00pm for regular days and 10:20am on late start days. The morning sailing departs earlier in the AM, however, the afternoon sailing returning to Southworth is earlier than the current PM sailing, so commuting time will stay approximately the same.
Again, it appears the impact will be minimal for our commuter families and we are thankful to be able to continue to provide our families with the high quality educational experiences they have come to know and expect from the Vashon Island School District.

Please let us know if you have any questions.

Then Senior Center of West Seattle is in need of an awesome volunteer to lead our Food Bank distribution on Tuesdays. This position requires organization of our food donations that come from the West Seattle Food Bank, helping to get folks checked in, and working with other volunteers to get the food organized and displayed for distribution on Tuesday mornings, about 2 -3 hours weekly. Based on the weekly inventory, you will also call in the order to the West Seattle Food Bank on Monday afternoons. This is a rare opportunity to get involved with our amazing Senior Center in an extremely rewarding role – helping our community to get food they need and appreciate. Ideally, this person would start on Tuesday, 1/8/19 and get trained with our existing lead volunteer. This is an ongoing, Tuesday morning commitment, working 8:30-10:30, and calling in the order on Monday afternoons.
If you are interested in this rare opportunity, please apply online at https://scws.typeform.com/to/DBaLgg, send an email to sarah@soundgenerations.org, or call 206-932-4044 X8

I thought somebody put some beauty bark down, but when we went down to Georgetown, I could get a faint smell of it there too.

Last 5 hours of Boeing Field aviation weather shows pretty much calm winds so it can’t be from very far.

Somebody e-mailed from Admiral, saying this isn’t the first time. Unfortunately I’m olfactorily challenged and can’t personally follow the trail but one REALLY important thing to do is: File a complaint with the Puget Sound Clean Air Agency. Odor is one of the categories on this page:

There was a kitchen fire at the Cal-Mor Circle Apartments this morning that SFD was apparently able to put out rather quickly. I’m guessing they must have used extinguishers, but, it started out as a full response “Fire in Building” call, so perhaps SFD tapped a hydrant in anticipation of a much worse fire?

My elderly dad’s dentist is next door to that location. He is in a wheelchair and since the handicap parking space in front is often occupied, there have been many times I’ve parked around the corner on Juneau. If the sidewalk is blocked by the cars of people who are in too big of a rush to get to their class to find a parking spot on the street like I did, you can bet I will be judgmental and sanctimonious and they will probably have their class interrupted by me coming in to ask them to move their cars so I don’t have to push a wheelchair into oncoming traffic.

Did the Brownie Troop have their event last Friday? The weather was awful and then our power went out, so I didn’t make it there…but I did make a donation to the West Seattle Food Bank to honor them(quite an easy process on the WSFB website) and if anyone else feels the same(supportive with a side bit of guilt!) I’d encourage them to do the same. couldn’t find any way to contact the troop so I hope when they make their donation to the food bank, my contribution gets added in to their efforts…you go girls!!

Thanks for the explanation jm, it was such a complex observation I didn’t understand.
That is sarcasm.
I stand by my opinion that the comment about where a person who is a complete stranger parks their car is judgement with an air of superiority. I disagree that mocking complete strangers is wry or ironic. aka “contempt prior to investigation”.

[LoveWS]

aa, it might be time to lighten up a bit :) tiny jewelry was simply making an observation and I think it’s ironic as well. Maybe you don’t understand it, see people go to the gym to exercise, but then they have to park really close to it so they don’t have to walk far. See the irony? It’s not judging. It’s an observation and kind of funny at that. Happy Holidays!

There’s often an issue with people not paying attention at this light (moreso than other lights it seems), and I’m happy to honk at them if that’s the case. I’ve always wondered about the timing at this light though, when it turns green and for how long. I can’t seem to find a pattern, except it seems to turn less frequently during the evening rush hour (presumably to allow for more traffic to go SB on 35th).
I wonder if there was a plan to address the light and the turn lane capacity in the initial 35th Ave rechannelization and it’s just fallen off the list by SDOT. If we’re making requests for that intersection in general, I’d like to add banning right turns on red from eastbound Alaska to southbound 35th, and a resurfacing of the entire intersection.

[KBear]

Yeah, somewhere in the Washington driver’s manual it says a green arrow means you should wait as long as possible and then go just as it turns yellow.

Yeah…. its SUPER lame of the administrators.

Topics from years ago showing up….replies not being posted….emails to the editor go unanswered. I began dating and time stamping my own posts (see above) to try to be honest.

I chalked it up to my (ahem) “differing” opinions and have taken them elsewhere.
But who knows? Maybe SO much time is spent on sea lion or power outage “news” the forums page goes unattended…

If you’re gonna have it available to the public, all public should have free access. BUT this IS a private enterprise….and they don’t need to do anything they don’t want to. And I honestly do not begrudge them that….I just scoff at their feigned appearance of impartiality….
