Hello. I’ve been really trying to set up more play dates for my son, but it’s not been easy. My son has been asking about more play dates and sometimes will say “I wish you were a kid so we could have play dates.” Crushing. We live near Westcress Park and will try our luck on the playground some days. Not many kids his age are there. Anyway, if you’re in the area and have a kiddo in his age myself or wife would love to meet up. I have no idea if this is even allowed here, but I’m trying to be more aggressive in finding him kids his age to hang out with. I grew up in small town Colorado in the 80’s/90’s and we all just walked around outside until we bumped into someone and became friends. Times are not the same so I’m trying this out. Anyway, that got long. Thanks for taking the time.

Hello! I’m working with a sweet family to find a nanny for their infant! Please see below!

About the Family:
A family in West Seattle is seeking a nurturing and experienced nanny to care for their happy, easygoing 9-month-old. They value a warm, patient, and structured parenting approach and focus on raising confident, kind, and curious children through gentle guidance, clear boundaries, and positive reinforcement. The family also has an older child, though this position is focused solely on infant care.

They prioritize low-stimulation, screen-free days and enjoy getting outside regularly. This family is looking for a caregiver who is attentive, thoughtful, and comfortable balancing time at home with daily outings.

Nanny Requirements:
The ideal candidate has strong infant experience and a solid understanding of child development. They should be organized, dependable, and deeply trustworthy, with the ability to engage infants through age-appropriate activities while maintaining established routines. A calm, patient presence and enjoyment of outdoor time are important for this role.

Primary responsibilities focus on infant care, including feeding, routines, engagement, and outings. Baby-related meal prep once solids are introduced may be included. Light household support beyond general tidying is appreciated but not required and will be discussed and agreed upon at hire.

Care is needed on the following schedule:

Monday: 7:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.

Wednesday: 7:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.

Thursday: 6:30 a.m. – 4:30 p.m.

The position offers guaranteed hours, with flexibility for up to 5 additional hours per week by mutual agreement and advance notice.

The family will comply with Washington State sick leave requirements (1 hour per 40 hours worked). No additional PTO is offered at this time.

About Our Placement Process:
This position is supported by a local, Seattle-based, woman-owned nanny placement team. We work differently than traditional agencies, our role is to advocate for nannies, not just place them. We provide support with contract review and negotiation, ensure expectations are clear and fair from the start, and offer ongoing support throughout the entire contract, not just during the hiring process.

fwiw we’ve been using pawsvip near seatac for the last year. i work at the airport and start stupid early, so finding a place that actually opens before the sun was… not easy. they open at 5am, which means i can drop my dog on the way in without scrambling for a sitter the night before.

Our dog’s a goofy lab mix, a little too excited around other dogs. They don’t require any evaluations, but they will keep new dog in small playgroups first. You can also request human playtime instead of dog playtime i believe

That sounds pretty unnerving, especially considering the current situation. It’s crucial for healthcare professionals to prioritize safety protocols, especially with something as contagious as COVID-19. Props to Dr. Smith’s assistant for maintaining professionalism amidst the chaos. It’s a shame that the rest of the staff didn’t follow suit. Your health should never be compromised, especially in a medical setting. As for dentist recommendations, I’ve heard good things about Dr. Jeffrey Gross in Eastlake, OH. Haven’t personally been there, but I’ve heard they prioritize patient safety, here’s the link: https://jeffreygrossdds.com/. It’s worth checking out, especially if you’re looking for a safer experience.

Hello WS,
I’m a teacher at Sanislo Elementary and this is a pic of our playground. This is a health and safety issue for our children and super frustrating for a myriad of reasons. SPS says it’s the city’s responsibility and the city says it’s SPS.. we have contacted people but nothing is happening… I so appreciate your help- but we need a fast solution!!! It is not a blocked drain but an overage of water from our wet lands. This is our third year and counting but keeps getting worse… please help🙏🏿

[AllkiGuy]

Hey West Seattleites – we are looking for a kind and patient nanny for ~4 months for after school care. Our kids attend school in West Seattle and we live near Alki. We are willing to pay $30+/hr, depending on experience. A typical day would include pickup at 3 pm, helping with homework, preparing snacks, and shuttling to after school activities. Some very light housekeeping and dinner prep for the kids will be needed before signing off around 7:30 or 8 pm will also be needed. You must have a clean driving record and reliable transportation. Our 6-year-old is neuro divergent and very active, and therefore will need some patience and engagement to be motivated to leave the playground or get out the door, but she is very sweet and manageable. Experience with neuro divergent is a strong plus, but a willingness to learn how to engage and motivate is equally valuable. Our 11-year-old 6th grader is studious, kind, and independent and is involved in sports. If interested, please contact Beau Schilz at beau.schilz@gmail.com or text 617-290-5132. Thanks!

DoorDash recently notified me that they will be raising fees in Seattle because the city is now forcing them (and similar companies) to pay a minimum wage of $26.40 / hour per a new law for gig economy workers.

This sounds like great news to me, as I’m a strong labor supporter, but the way DoorDash talks about it in their announcement makes it sound like they’re complaining about having to pay their drivers more and is taking it out on the consumer. On the other hand, I know these issues aren’t always simple, so I’m curious if anyone in this community who drives for DoorDash or similar companies might be willing to share their opinion?

-URBAN ANIMAL of WHITE CENTER-
~CAUTION!
*NOT BOARD CERTIFIED*
Last Christmas I had to put Blue Down.
It still haunts me. He wasn’t even 4 years old.
Not Board Certified-
I didn’t even know that was a thing, until they used it as their excuse for botched care.
Our beloved dog (who stopped walking on his rear leg) would still be alive, if I had not trusted Urban Animal. Rather than do standard testing (x-rays under anesthesia) to find out what was wrong with our amazing 3 1/2 year-old Blue Nose pit bull. The Dr./Surgeon, guessed and assumed he tore his cruciate ligament. Never even considered it could be cancer. This sent Blue down the wrong path to certain death. After bending his leg- Dr. said “yep- he tore his cruciate ligament”. We need to do TPLO surgery. Cancer was never mentioned or even considered. Managements excuse for misdiagnosing and performing useless surgery was- “we are not board certified”.
By the time it was found out my dog had Osteosarcoma bone cancer, and not a torn ligament- it was too late. Tumors had completely spread through his body, after they screwed metal plates around and into the tumor.
Urban Animal did take $4000 on the failed TPLO surgery. Failed to do a biopsy at the time they found out they were actually doing the wrong treatment. Then my dog had to have the leg amputated ($2000) after they performed the wrong surgery (steel implant and screws)- which caused the tumor in his knee to grow to the size of a baseball. Before the amputation they did decide to finally do a biopsy ($700) which their joke of lab failed to even look at the results. They told me “we’re having lots of problems with this lab”.
Blue was put under anesthesia three times, twice for nothing.
Urban Animal did 86 me, after I schooled them on how to properly diagnose and carry out veterinary care for this condition.
Osteosarcoma is common in young and older dogs. The causes are unknown.
I looked into Fido care, and had acupuncture done for blue. Completely changed his diet. Went on all kinds of healthy supplements, RSO and CBD. Chemo ended up not being an option.
He was too far gone.
Blue did receive the Yale vaccine.
It was too late for it to help.
I even rented an oxygen machine for Blue.
I desperately tried to save my dog!
We were just sent down the wrong path, due to ignorant guessing.
All the oncologists, veterinarians and specialists I dealt with after leaving U.A. were great. Very knowledgeable, caring and compassionate. When I finally had to put Blue down- They sent us cards and a nice stone memorial with Blue’s name on it. Urban Animal didn’t care at all. Didn’t send any condolences or email response. When Urban Animal did fail on Blues care- They told me “we learned a lot from this, and are reviewing everything ”.
A horrible, 4 month, slow death process…
Sure, they’ll smile, and take your money- just be very careful.
Healing from the loss of Blue was/is extremely painful and difficult- even a year later.
None of this will bring Blue back to us.
My only intention is to pass this message to other people, who love their pets. I’m not saying everything Urban Animal does is awful. They just really messed up this case- and they know it.
Carrying out research. before trusting someone you don’t know is vital.
Also- standing in line, outside to make an appointment and then return, is a joke.
If people are going to judge and criticize- please find something else to do. I am creating awareness, to use caution, to do research.
You have to do your due diligence.
This post is worth it- if I can save just one dog or cat from unnecessary treatment.
✌🏻

My son found a leather “Puerto Rico” wallet with a debit card and a small bit of cash on the Lafayette playground this weekend. We checked in with the school this morning and she is not a student at Lafayette. The name on the card is Mya Elliott. We’d love to get it back to her if anyone knows her.

Unless the volume is ear-blasting, the city ignores noise complaints about ice cream truck music. You might try calling Parking Enforcement at 206-684-9012 and reporting the truck as a parking violation. Many cities have traffic codes that include ticketing a private vehicle that parks on the street with its engine on for more than 20 minutes.

Good luck. I live near one of West Seattle’s kiddie playgrounds and know how annoying the endless musical loops are. I dread this summer because the ice cream jingle of choice has changed from the merely annoying “Turkey in the Straw” to the god awful “It’s a Small World.”
