Hi Amber,
While I would not be able to provide legal services or advice, I am happy to have a few consultations with you to see what I can do to help you. Unfortunately, I do not have any legal contacts, but I can be on deck to help with the project of shutting down your downtown location and what needs to be done to focus on your West Seattle location. (I’m happy to hear that you are able to keep the W. Seattle one open. I love that place!). My expertise is in Financial and HR areas, but Project Management is Project Management.

There is a lot of work involved with determining the steps you need to take, keeping track of the legal items, and making sure that the tasks get done. Something that you don’t have time to do! I’m about to move closer to your location (within walking distance) and I am happy to meet with you via video conference or six feet with a mask. Your choice :)

Hey there- I would be interested in receiving some insight about the direction that my business will be going. I’m not sure if project management is the route I need, but you never know:). I’m mainly interested in some legal advice due to needing to shut down my downtown business while maintaining and focusing on my West Seattle location. Regardless, it would be helpful to hear ideas and suggestions based on your career insight. Let me know if you are interested. At the very least, maybe you could help point me to the right location based on contacts that you know and your experience with small businesses. This is truly an amazing gift you are offering small businesses and I thank you for that! I certainly could offer some trade opportunities:). Amber

[rachaeldang]

I am a fellow West Seattleite and I am looking to help out the local small businesses and non-profits in my community who are struggling. I would like to offer free consultant services to a business that is in need of someone to organize the projects they have or just to consult on best practices. My mission is to help businesses and non-profits who cannot afford professional project management services (and I get to help the community I love grow. Win-win!)

My objective is to meet with the business to determine the scale of their needs and determine if they need someone to lead a portfolio of projects, one or two projects, or just help organize their projects for easy execution (by either me or themselves – depending on the work involved since I currently work as a Project Manager). We can then agree on the time frame of services and the expectations of how many hours per week. Also, you may not even know what you need and I can listen and guide you to your best options.

On Monday, my 9-year-old chalked a message on the sidewalk outside of our home near California & Andover. Today, for the first time in our long sidewalk chalk history, SOMEBODY SCRUBBED THE MESSAGE OFF OF THE SIDEWALK!

No, this was not just some non-specific joy-hater. The colorful graphic my son chalked nearby was untouched. Only the message of support for our black community (and all who protest systemic racist violence and oppression) was erased.

I know that racism lives everywhere but I will admit I expected more from our community. We will be back out there today, chalk in hand. I invite all of the people in West Seattle who believe racism or bigotry of any kind has no place in our community to do the same.

DISCLAIMER: This post is not about my daughter’s chalk art. If that is our biggest woe, I’ll count us lucky. This is about the people hiding in our community who are so confident and convicted in their hate that they will take the time to scrub out another person’s voice

With a bridge closed, I’m having difficulty getting to Virginia Mason to do the post-surgical bloodwork draw that I need to do every few weeks. It’s critical that I get these labs done for my doctor to review how I’m doing. The last few times I have gone to Virginia Mason, via the 1st Avenue bridge, I have experienced heavy traffic, even with the pandemic. I have to do these labs early in the morning, so always during rush hour. Does anyone know of a LabCorp type lab in W Seattle? Google turned up nada. Looks like one used to be in Westwood? But no more? Thank you.

Hi Hannah, sorry for the late reply. I’ve been so busy taking care of my daughter (and enjoying it), I forgot that I had posted this! I am still in need, though, and quite flexible. It would be great to see if we can work something out. This is my first time posting in this forum, so I’m not sure how to proceed. You can call me 206-439-6845. This is my land line.

[Franci]

I found out my basement flooded Saturday evening, I spend most of Sunday cleaning up and hauling stuff out that needed to be disposed of.

I got to the South Transfer Station to find that it is closed Sunday – Tuesday. Now I have a car full of debris that needs to go. Are there any other options for disposing of stuff like this when the Transfer Station is closed?

As someone who works full time, this is really difficult. I don’t want to pull everything out and have to reload the car again later.

Thanks!

Now that the libraries are closed, would anyone be up for a thread concerning locations of little free library boxes in west seattle with (possibly) brief description of subject or genre areas?

Dogs are the avatar of evil in this world, eh? Doubtful.

My dog doesn’t drive a car, engage in deforestation, damaging wetlands for the sake of earning a few more dollars or anything else.

I, on the other hand, drive a diesel pickup, have motorcycle for fun, work in a steel mill and consume to products of agribusiness.

I make it sounds worse than it is to make a point, before you feel smug. People are responsible for ecological damage. If dogs are perceived as predators that’s because they are. But they aren’t able to engage in the mass killings that humans are capable of.

So, dogs aren’t the problem, Merilieu, you are…as are the rest of us and, as such we are responsible for limiting our impact.

[KLJones]

Recommendations, please! Really simple job. Need a new kitchen faucet installed. Straightforward, nothing unusual about this job. Would prefer an individual over a company (I know O’Neil and other companies are great but this is just so small that it is hardly worth their time. $$$).

I normally would use Joe The Plumber for a job like this but his website says he won’t be working for the next month.

[rlan2485]

Everything not taken will be given to Goodwill I hope. Please come and take a look there are a lot of womens cloths and household items still left. Electronics and Misc. craft and art stuff for kids and adults. and costumns.

[Merilieu]

It’s interesting that no one has brought up the effect of dogs on the beach on the environment. I’m just going to paste this here, for purposes of education and (optimistically) enlightenment, of all dog owners:

The evidence that dogs negatively impact wildlife is overwhelming. It is clear that people with dogs – on
leash or off – are much more detrimental to wildlife than people without dogs. Dogs (Canis lupus
familiaris) are considered to be a subspecies of wolves (Canis lupus), and wildlife perceive dogs as
(30)
predators.
Impacts include:
1. Physical and temporal displacement – The presence of dogs causes wildlife to move away, temporarily or permanently reducing the amount of available habitat in which to feed, breed and rest. Animals become less active during the day to avoid dog interactions. Furthermore, the scent of dogs repels wildlife and the effects remain after the dogs are gone.
2. Disturbance and stress response – Animals are alarmed and cease their routine activities. This increases the amount of energy they use, while simultaneously reducing their opportunities to feed. Repeated stress causes long-term impacts on wildlife including reduced reproduction and growth, suppressed immune system and increased vulnerability to disease and parasites.
3. Indirect and direct mortality – Dogs transmit diseases (such as canine distemper and rabies) to and from wildlife. Loose dogs kill wildlife.
4. Human disease and water quality impacts – Dog waste pollutes water and transmits harmful parasites and diseases to people.

Please note, your dogs’ scent, and therefore its negative effects, remain long after you go home.

I went to the junction today to pick up some lunch and groceries for the week and had two very different experiences today.

Coastline has an amazing setup. You order in advance via their mobile site and your meal is pre-bagged and waiting for you on a table that separates you from the workers. Everyone was wearing a mask. I felt very safe and could tell that everyone is taking the necessary precautions.

Contrast this with the Seattle Fish Company where nobody was wearing masks and there is no guidance on how to avoid close proximity to employees or other shoppers. They have amazing seafood, but I turned around and walked out.

Is anyone else avoiding businesses that aren’t mandating the use of face masks?

[Chuck Jacobs]

They have a raccoon at the Woodland Park Zoo as an ambassador animal. You might check them out when they reopen.

[JasonG]

What’s the story behind the one panel of railing that’s covered in padlocks, on the bridge over Fairmount Ravine on Admiral Way? My kids are wondering if they can contribute a lock without upsetting someone 😀

[birdrescuer]

Contact Casa Latina. They have great workers and are Covid trained.

[melissa]

They won’t be at the market this year. I believe they are selling to some other Seattle nurseries, though. Check their FB page for more information.

[susieq29]

Thanks TR, agreed. They sell more of the less common types of plants. I’ve tried West Seattle nursery but their selection of varieties is very slim. Thought about going over to vashon but never could figure out a way to pay with my orca card online so I wouldn’t have to touch anything. Hope they come back soon.
