Interrupted a theft/burglary at 5233 42 ave this morning at 0420.

Hear rustling behind the garage, though it was raccoons in the garbage. Went to run them off and a white, slim, male wearing a yellowish t shirt came around the corner of the garage towards me and grabbed one of my security lights. I told him to stop, he dropped it and ran. Second security light stolen recently. Lawn mower stolen last week. Graffiti rampant in the alley between California and 42nd ave sw. North of Brandon.

I contacted John L Scott for permission to paint over the graffiti but they said they didn’t own the building and would get back to me. Never did.

I am not a fan of Alki Automotive. I liked one of their mechanics when they were at their previous Alki Beach location, which is now Blue Moon Burgers. But that mechanic left Alki Automotive years ago and went to West Seattle Autoworks.
I found Alki Automotive to be too costly, rude, and the problem I paid them to fix resurfaced a few months later. Ended up fixing it myself with the help of YouTube.

@advntrplz I’d be happy to meet with you and of course, any/everyone else in this conversation to discuss and perhaps plan… a project to help someone… It may or may not be Mary Theresa but it would be ‘someone’ :) I don’t know if she wants/would accept this type of structure… But I Do Know… she likes to have AA Batteries for her little portable music player, Hot Chocolate and Cola… (I try to remind her to drink more water and less sugar;) )… when she’s not feeling well sometimes I get her Tylenol or Ricola Cough Drops… Yarn BUT… you have to know ‘what type’ ;) for the project she’s working on :)

Just talk to her… all of you! You don’t need to be offering ‘help’ … just acknowledging her and engaging with her… You know… I think that’s really what all of us want/need… whether we realize it or not <3

I’ve got some sturdy boxes at work that I have put off breaking down as there is often other pressing stuff to do. They are about 2’x2’x15″ high, more shipping box than moving box but they are yours for the asking. I have 5 of them, let me know and I can bring a couple home each day.

I have no experience with or thoughts regarding Alki Automotive, however will second herongrrl’s endorsement of Courtesy Tire.

Over the years they have done almost as much ‘free’ work on my tires (checking air-pressure after cold spells or before road trips) as they have replacing the tires and battery on my car.

The long-term staff are a great group of guys who are eager to answer any questions and help in any way they can!!!

I wanted to like Alki Automotive because they were really convenient. Unfortunately I found them to be expensive and condescending.

I love Courtesy Tire on California. They do great work for reasonable rates, and are honest about what they can and can’t do. We had a bad transmission once and they told us they could do it, but because they weren’t a transmission shop they recommended a transmission specific shop who did it for more than $1K less than Courtesy estimated it would cost them.

Yes, there is work going on. Some weeks back, we briefly saw the owner, while we were parking nearby on our way to cover something, asked him how it’s going, “It’s going!” he replied cheerily. We were there again more recently (last week, I think) and saw work crews at the site. This is more a labor of love than some big construction project. But we are overdue for an update, and while Clay Eals had been chronicling it as part of his work as SWSHS executive director, now that he’s left that role I don’t know if he’ll continue updating it for them … Tracy

[Tony S]

It’s been over a year since I last saw an update on the progress. Has it ground to a halt, or is there actually work going on?

Is there a limit to the distance a car can travel in a non-protected bike lane (not sharrow) before making that right turn, assuming they have yielded to cyclists first? I can’t find anything.

I know there is a limit to distance traveled the center turn lane (aka two-way left turn lane), which is 300 ft. according to RCW, so I thought there would be a distance limit here too.

I have 5 boxes of the size 2’x2’x15″ high (approx on all dimensions). They are more shipping than moving boxes but if they work for you let me know and I’ll bring them home from work.

The 10-minute thing is just an average too. I waited 18 minutes between two C buses this morning at your exact spot. And of course it was full. Then the next one came one minute later. Stupid.

As for crowdedness. You should have seen it 3-4 years ago. Oh the glory days.

I have my motorcycle insurance through Safeco. Have never had to file a claim (knock on wood), but everything else has been smooth. And their motorcycle rates were about half the price of Geico for the exact same policy.

Hey right turners, please familiarize yourselves with the rules of the road. You are allowed to drive in a bike lane to make a right turn. In fact, you are REQUIRED to do it, as it is illegal to turn across another lane of traffic going the same direction. You are putting cyclists at risk by crossing over their path, and you are holding up traffic that would like to make it through the green light. A turn signal would be great, too.

@Lisa …

I think that is exactly how I feel as well re: this has to be her choice.

What we feel might improve another’s life may not actually help.

I would still love to build something, and if she want it, awesome. If not, there are others who might. If they don’t, hell, it was a fun, good heart thing to do. Learning lesson and move on.

The thing that warms me most is how so many people here want to help.

And you might ask yourself, “who makes refrigerated or frozen food products in Sonoma country that would be shipped to OR and WA?” Don’t know if Nancy’s Yogurt has their own refers or contracts with drivers making that run up and down the coast. But there’re any number of organic ice cream and dessert manufactures from So Cal north who have to bet product to the PNW. Their operations people should be willing to talk to you.
