Thanks!
Looking for someone who loves to run and loves to talk about running. You don’t need anything but a passion for the sport, we will teach you everything else. A retail background would be great, but it isn’t necessary. Your job will be to sell shoes and apparel, stock shelves, help with sports bra fittings, keep the store clean, and help customers find the right product. Be able to start and hold a conversation, as that is basic skill for sales. Shy, wall flower types will probably not like the atmosphere, as we require you to start and maintain customer interactions.
We are looking for a full time person 30-40 hours a week, this position may include one weekend day. These are long term positions, at least 12 months or longer, as it takes a while to get trained and able to be help customers independently. Pay starts at $21.30 but is negotiable based on experience. We also offer bonuses based on store sales. PTO accumulation starts the day you start. We also have an employee discount, and a separate family discount. Free race entries for all races we sponsor, and it’s a pretty cool atmosphere to work in, as most customers are happy to be here.Please drop off a resume in person at the store. We do not respond to emailed resumes unless we have directed you to send it.
The interview will be done during a 3 mile run, so if you get called back, be ready to tell us your favorite 3 mile route! Don’t worry about pace, we will keep it slow (11-12 minute miles) so we can chat.
If you have questions, please drop in and ask them.

Topic: FOUND: Wallet
This may be a long shot, but this wallet was found on the ground of the Jefferson Square parking lot last night. It included the person’s driver’s license, but I couldn’t find her online. I tried turning it in at Bank of America this morning (since there was a card), but they aren’t allowed to take it. I will take it to the police station per their recommendation, but am at work all day.

Hoping to find a regular handyman for a series of projects around the house. It has to be someone who’s comfortable working along me and my hubby. First needs are next week on Thursday and Friday, the 19th and 20th – helping hubby move furniture downstairs (dressers, nightstands, mattress, and bed) and then starting demo of our upstairs (large bedroom, small bedroom, hall, tiny bathroom, partial chimney stack). Once we find the right person, there will be many other days of work as the house is going to be a nearly total gut job, broken up into phases and then built back again. Hubby can handle the electrical, but we’d love a hand with framing, drywall, and many other things.
This house is from 1917. Who knows what we’ll find when we tear it apart? There’s no insulation in the walls, some old knob and tube upstairs, literally no idea what else we’ll find.
We value knowledge, flexibility, and patience.
Please email me to reply: shopattack@pm.me – Thanks! Christy
Topic: Shouldering assault
My neighbor was shouldered after getting off the bus on at the delridge station. The perpetrator walked towards him in a purposefully diagonal route, proceeded to shoulder him, stunning him. At least a younger teen called out the perpetrator as he fled onto the bus.
Based on recent social media posts, shouldering assaults have occurred in Japan to young women not aware of their surroundings (distracted by their phone), allegedly by disgruntled men usually in crowded areas where the perpetrators can easily flee afterwards.
Lately, there seems to be more panhandlers throughout west seattle junctions. It’s concerning that petty crimes may occurring more often in west seattle.
Please be aware and be safe.
