Topic: Pep Boys
I highly recommend Pep Boys. I’ve been there three times with three different cars. They have been courteous, explained things carefully to me, and had the work done exactly when they said they would. Twice they didn’t charge me! Was there last week and they have excellent COVID-19 safety measures in place.
Topic: MoxyJo’s is Hiring!
It takes the right team to ensure a top notch company and MoxyJo’s House Cleaning is in search of a dynamic, high spirited, independent person to be a part of the team!
The dream of MoxyJo’s owner and operator, Joanna Hall has always been to create a work environment that is quite rare for the blue-collar work force in our society. As a team we are not only striving to change the face of housecleaning but also create a company culture that has every need of all staff in mind. It really is no mystery that if you take care of your employees you in turn get quality work, dependability and reliability. As an employee if you feel taken care of by the company that you work for, your quality of life is greatly improved. It’s a win-win for everyone. The way we do this so far is with competitive pay, birthdays off, monthly MoxyJo’s dinners or days out, weekly breakfast during meetings, snacks and drinks provided for the day ahead, flexibility in the hours and days the employees need, and once a month massage for full time employees. Speaking of full time, we only require our employees to clean 30 hours a week to qualify as full time. We know this is hard work and its hard on the body. We don’t believe in over-working and over-stressing our team. We have much more in the works to make this one of the best blue-collar jobs around. MoxyJos.com/careers

Went to Menchie’s West Seattle on Monday evening, June 1st, 2020. Employee behind register refused to wear protective mask. She stated she was not required to. I refused to pay. Pretty sure any food service employee is required to have protective wear. I would not recommend visiting this business until after owner gets this under control or vaccine developed.
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.
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!

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.
