    You may want to dig into whether or not those numbers include costs other than just wages paid. Wages paid to electricians that are employed by the City of Seattle are about $40/hr and linemen earn about $50/hr. These numbers do not jibe with the actual people doing the work earn. This looks far more like a hatchet job.

    I too find this article dubious. But, I don’t have an issue with professionals making good money. Seattle is an expensive city to live in. My wife and I have a combined 6 figure income and are thinking about moving as we can’t afford the continuing raise in property taxes and utility bills. And I really don’t mind police being paid well. They go out every day and encounter the worst of humanity the rest of us call 911 about. The majority of police are just doing their jobs to protect and serve. Just because there are a few bad cops doesn’t mean we should eliminate all cops. Reform is over due. The house passed a great police reform bill that can be a model for state and local governments. To call for help with the mentally ill, there needs to be, instead of calling 911, another number that would summon mental health professionals. Put the police back to their main job, investigate and solve crimes.

    The article was published on Forbes.com. The author of the article is:
    Adam Andrzejewski Senior Contributor.

    Looking at the first graphic in the article, underneath it, there is a credit to: OPENTHEBOOKS.COM

    There is a short bio about the author at the end of the article. I have cut and pasted it here.

    Adam Andrzejewski (say: Angie-eff-ski) is the CEO & Founder of OpenTheBooks.com – one of the largest private databases of government spending in the world. Our mission: “Every Dime, Online, In Real Time.” We’ve captured 5 billion public-sector transactions including 23 million public employee salary and pension records. I’ve spoken on big data journalism at Harvard Law School; Georgetown Law School; and the Columbia School of Journalism. My work has been featured at major national news platforms such as C-SPAN; Good Morning America and ABC World News Tonight; USA Today; The Wall Street Journal; The New York Times; National Public Radio (NPR); FOX News; and CNN. My Forbes online columns have over 7 million page views.

    As he is a senior contributor to Forbes and the CEO of the website used to source the data, leads me to doubt his data, especially as he provides no cross references or parameters for how the information was/is collected. Numbers and statistics can be manipulated to prove whatever it is you are trying to prove. Numbers may not “lie,” but if an author manipulates said numbers to reflect favorably on their thesis – that is, in my opinion, questionable data.

    I am pointing this out, not in an effort to be a “troll” or trying to bait someone into an argument. I point this out to show that we cannot take everything we read, see or hear at face value – especially when it comes from the internet. Follow up on the author – what are their credentials and affiliation with the publisher or information they are sharing? Follow links to websites mentioned in the articles – what are those websites and where did they get their information from? Who are they affiliated with? In a time where it is easier than ever to spread misinformation, it falls on all of us to take the responsibility to investigate the validity of any articles or information we are sharing and/or reading.

    Be safe, be well and be happy!

    Willow Fibromyalgia and Hypermobility Clinic in West Seattle is looking for a medical office manager to help our clinic grow and expand. We are looking for someone who is organized, energetic, able to handle multiple projects at once, and who is also kind and compassionate.

    4. Once trained, an office manager could telecommute from home 1 or 2 days per week.
    5. You might be able to bring a dog to the office, depending on their personality.

    WHY SEATTLE IS IN TROUBLE
    Only in Seattle do the tree trimmers make $160,000 per year!

    Today, our investigation is an Editor’s Pick at Forbes: Why Seattle And Their Police Department Is In Trouble.

    Our auditors dug into how Seattle is actually spending taxpayer dollars. We found:

    tree trimmers lopped off $160,604
    the chief librarian made $197,704
    electricians earned $271,070
    electrical lineworkers made $307,387
    police officers earned up to $414,543
    Last year, 601 city employees out-earned the mayor ($199,593), and the mayor out-earned 49 out of 50 state governors (top pay: $202,000).

    The city council member ($131,336) leading the charge to defund the police made more than the members of the New York general assembly — the most highly compensated state legislature in the country ($130,000).

    After several attempts, and getting no response from our City Council West Seattle Representative, I’m throwing this idea out to the West Seattle general public: Now that we’re entering Phase 2 of the reopening plan for King County, I have an idea that would benefit our restaurants/businesses and patrons, as well. Using the California Ave SW area (say between SW Edmonds Street and SW Oregon Street) as an example, I recommend that that area be made into a pedestrian area only, allowing the restaurants/businesses to expand out into the sidewalks and outside lanes of the street, reserving the two middle lanes as a pedestrian walkway. This approach would allow the businesses in that area to safely space tables/merchandise apart to more easily observe the 6-foot social distancing effort, as well as serve more patrons than they would be able to under the current arrangement. Studies have shown that in areas that have gone pedestrian only, businesses have flourished. By making that area pedestrian only, it doesn’t impede anyone from getting to their businesses or living quarters, since that can all be accomplished utilizing the streets that already exist behind the businesses. I think this would really work and have a positive effect for all involved. I use the California Ave area as an example only, but this could be utilized in many areas that have a concentration of restaurants/businesses open to the public, such as Alki. There’s no reason traffic has to be in these areas – as a matter of fact, it’s probably safer in some respects not to have traffic zooming thru those crowded areas anyway. So I challenge you, Lisa Herbold, to look into this recommendation – SOON! We need to help our businesses succeed – NOW! And since it looks like our shopping and restaurant options are going to be limited due to Covid-19, compounded by the years-long bridge closure, it’s more important than ever that local businesses on our “island” be successful and that we, the public, also have the resources we need and enjoy.

    The failed Jobs Tax bill that the Seattle Council tries to push on us is back again. Right when we’re all still in lock down and trying to get our lives back to normal.
    Many of us have lost their jobs and may not get them back again.
    So why in the hell are they trying to pass this bill again; do they think we won’t notice.

    I you are so inclined, please sign the following petition and contact our leaders as well.

    I honestly don’t understand the obsession with complaining about one’s own residence, as if it’s any worse off or that it’s especially worse off than other cities. I have lived in several places across the country and maintain contact with people in those places, and they say the same exact things, “this town is terrible, unsafe, dirty and all the homeless are here”. Well, guess what? There has been a nationwide epidemic of drug addiction going on for a few years now. There has been homelessness due to a scarcity of affordable housing and income insecurity. Healthcare costs have been skyrocketing, which causes bankruptcy, medical neglect and sometimes job insecurity. This has been happening all over, Seattle isn’t special. You don’t like the trash on the ground? Pick it up. You don’t like your local leaders? vote them out. I didn’t vote for Jenny Durkan, she’s acting exactly as I knew she would. The qualities that brought me here are still valid and I know I’m better off here than where I came from.
