I applaud your approach and out-of-the-box thinking. In reality, I am not crazy about the thought of “hugging and touching” some dude from the internet. I’ll save that for my family. I am taking this seriously but not so seriously that I need to move to a rural setting and quarantine myself for 14 days if I go to the store and practice safe social distancing/hygiene. Hopefully you can find other like-minded individuals (perhaps someone that has already built a bunker and has a year or two of food and TP saved up). I also would rather see posts like this that are taking this pandemic seriously than the posts that don’t. I would be interested to find out how many people are willing to consider this but in the end we’re probably not gonna end up being hugging and touching roomies, sorry.

Hi Quinkygirl, if you’re committed to keeping this updated (things are being released so fast), maybe we could ask Tracy to make this an actual new Forums category. Would that be possible?

So, I’ve been home really sick with a respiratory virus (good news! It’s not Covid-19). I can’t watch anymore bad tv, so I put together this community resource guide to help with the economic impacts of Covid-19 in our communities. Feel free to share with all your Seattle people.

An hour ago, while visiting my father at The Kenney (on Fauntleroy), I was told in a rather brusque manner by the new head of nursing, that lucky I’m here today because, that as of tomorrow, 11 March, I would no longer be able to visit as the facility was going into “lock down” mode. Not even the front desk staff had been notified of this decision. I wrote to The Kenney’s director asking if caregivers and relatives of residents were going to be notified tonight by email (or telephone).

Does anyone else on this forum have a relative at The Kenney? It might be a good idea to call and find out how they plan to implement this draconian measure.

We all know that this is a stressful time calling for meticulous hygienic precautions. However, locking out key relatives, caregivers, and healthcare proxies (much less at such short notice) seems a bit extreme and our legal rights (as contracted, paying “customers”) need to be explored.

hopey, can you clarify where those links come from? I tried to find them on the wsdot.gov site. I found this:

RCW 46.61.235
Crosswalks.
(1) The operator of an approaching vehicle shall stop and remain stopped to allow a pedestrian, bicycle, or personal delivery device to cross the roadway within an unmarked or marked crosswalk when the pedestrian, bicycle, or personal delivery device is upon or within one lane of the half of the roadway upon which the vehicle is traveling or onto which it is turning. For purposes of this section “half of the roadway” means all traffic lanes carrying traffic in one direction of travel, and includes the entire width of a one-way roadway.
(2) No pedestrian, bicycle, or personal delivery device shall suddenly leave a curb or other place of safety and walk, run, or otherwise move into the path of a vehicle which is so close that it is impossible for the driver to stop.
(3) Subsection (1) of this section does not apply under the conditions stated in RCW 46.61.240(2).
(4) Whenever any vehicle is stopped at a marked crosswalk or at any unmarked crosswalk at an intersection to permit a pedestrian, bicycle, or personal delivery device to cross the roadway, the driver of any other vehicle approaching from the rear shall not overtake and pass such stopped vehicle.
(5)(a) If a person is found to have committed an infraction under this section within a school, playground, or crosswalk speed zone created under RCW 46.61.440, the person must be assessed a monetary penalty equal to twice the penalty assessed under RCW 46.63.110. The penalty may not be waived, reduced, or suspended.
(b) Fifty percent of the moneys collected under this subsection must be deposited into the school zone safety account.

But not those jpgs.

My son absolutely loves Bloom Preschool and Ms.Stacy (and Ms. Holly too). This is his third year at Bloom and his first year with Ms.Stacy. From the moment he and I were introduced to Teacher Stacy last Spring, we knew she was going to be a great fit for our small neighborhood preschool. Even though she was new to Bloom, she was in no way new to teaching preschoolers. Quite the opposite in fact! She has a wealth of knowledge and experience when it comes to Preschool education and it shows the moment you step foot in the preschool. She comes up with the most fun ways to engage the students in all sorts of learning. Proof: My five year old came home asking me if I knew what “metamorphosis” was the other day!
Some of my son’s favorite parts of Bloom are the sensory table experiences (play doh, slime, water), the various art projects, writing in his journal, yoga, and class walks to Hiawatha to play on the playground. My Mama heart is so happy to be at a school that my son loves, with a teacher that he loves and knowing that he has been well prepared for Kindergarten.
I highly recommend Bloom Preschool; it is a gem of a West Seattle Preschool. I also recommend touring Bloom and meeting Ms.Stacy (check out http://www.westseattlebloompreschool) for more info).

Hey CarDriver!
The apartment we are moving into (while our new house is getting built) is a 2bed, 2 bath, 1,100 sqft for $1,200/month and it’s right by “The Domain” so a 5 minute commute to work, shopping, light-rail, etc.

Our new house? Wow.
4bed, 3bath, 2 car garage, 2,100 sqft, 2 story house with a preschool, kindergarten, and elementary school on site (new managed community) with community pools, playgrounds and more. $210,000 with a $50/month HOA that only covers frontage law care and keeping the community areas clean. Totally hands off when it comes to what you can or must do with your property. It’s over in Manor, TX just a couple hundred yards east of Austin city limits with easy access to downtown, the northern tech corridor, and the airport.

As for the houseless/drug issues? I’ve spent a couple of weeks down there since early February and in downtown 6th st has some folks but it’s reminiscent of “The Ave” in the U District back in the 90’s. A very small minority of the overall population. No tents up on the side of the roads that I could see. That’s not a statement about them handling things better or anything, just that any problems they have were not as immediately noticeable.

Hello all! My apologies, I didn’t see these replies!!!

The man appears to be in his 50’s, maybe 60’s, but I can’t tell if this is because he’s had a rough life or really is older. Looks like he has scraggly, grey hair coming down under the ball cap he’s usually wearing. He’s caucasian. Most distinguishable ‘feature’ would be his raspy, sometimes deep (seems to get more pronounced the more worked up he is) aggressive voice/tone. He also has a very specific ‘schlep’ or cadence, quick but with one foot sometimes really dragging. His face has an aggressive, upset scowl to it.

As for who specifically it is, I’ve heard from another neighbor that he thinks he lives down on 41st, but since I run around here all the time, I can’t really envision which house that would be, I guess I’ll have to pay more attention next time I circle down there. I’ve also never seen him close or lingering near a house enough to even think he could belong there.

The police said there was nothing they could do if he didn’t have a weapon, which I’ve since learned I should have just said that yes, he indeed did have a weapon when he came at me: he was using the metal end of my security sign as the object he seemingly was going to ‘shred’ me with. In shock, when the police asked if he had a weapon on the phone, I didn’t see a gun or knife or anything, but in hindsight, a weapon could be anything and I should have said yes, then they could have responded.

Since this has happened (Friday, October 26th) he returned for rounds later that evening as I mentioned, and apparently was around the following week (this past week) quite a bit, specifically Monday and Tuesday. In fact, my neighbor who I ran to when it happened (lives across the way from me) called me on Tuesday morning to let me know that the man was out and about being pretty active and to be careful. He also said that while he was out keeping an eye on him, he got pretty aggressive so he took a video of him. Then, one of the mom’s sitting in her car which was parked right in front of our houses rolled down her window and said she and some of the other moms were really nervous because they’d seen him around and were getting worried and wanted to know who he was. Also, that she was calling the police to report him since he’s lingering around a school so much. My neighbor called me again to know that police were finally scouting the area looking for him so I should find some comfort in the fact that they’re aware and acting.

Around 2pm on that Tuesday, October 30th, I was coming down Dakota and saw a police car turn from 41st, left onto Dakota, then left down the/my alley where the Holy Rosary drop off happens, then back down Dakota and back down 41st. I paused at the top of 41st and Dakota and saw 3-4 officers near the end of street, so I drove down. Got long looks from them as I drove by and saw the man handcuffed and sitting on the ground. He was talking to the cops the cops looked humored/annoyed. I thought about pulling over, or just rolling down the window recount what happened with me and him, but I didn’t. Wish now that I had.

Anyhow, I don’t know what came of that, if they arrested him or what. And I haven’t seen him around. Anyone else know more?

Also, I’m sure I’ve dropped enough info for you to figure out where I’m at, so if you see me, please say hello or don’t hesitate to even come knock to introduce (most the HR kids don’t even knock anymore to go retrieve their balls from the backyard, ;). I was going to go chat with Dave the playground attendant, and also the HR principle on Monday just share my experience and see if there’s any news as well.

Hoping we can keep our neighborhood as safe as possible, all! Thanks for all your responses and please update if you know more.

[CJPH]

SHORT STORY: BEWARE of middle-aged man lurking around, approaching anyone he encounters and yelling obscenities (racial slurs, derogatory words) around the Holy Rosary neighborhood! He appears unstable and as of today, very dangerous.

He repeatedly makes his rounds throughout the morning, day and night.

While the neighborhood has seen and encountered him before in the past few months, his frequency is increasing, as is his aggression.

LONG STORY: I am writing this warning because just tonight around 5:00 pm I had a fearful run-in with him. I had seen and heard him throughout the day, and thankfully my guard was up as I had just been hearing him what sounded like banging on cars down 41st, off Dakota.

He aggressively approached as I was going from my alley gate to my car parked in front of my garage. As I closed my gate, he quickened his pace coming off Dakota, coming at me, yelling obscenities I can’t repeat here but also saying, “I’m going to shred you.” I didn’t turn around and quickly got in my car and locked the door, to find him already at the trunk. He had (again, he did it just 30 minutes earlier and I put it back) ripped out something in the ground on our property, and was yelling at me in the car and waving the object, before he threw it. Worried he was going to break my window in but also not wanting to aggravate him more by nearly running him over to back up, I let the car roll and thankfully the movement got him also to meander on.

He continued down the alley, screaming about me, approaching the neighbor’s fence and then fiddling with their garage. I reversed and watched him continue to wander around, yelling.

He was wearing a black t-shirt with a white graphic on it, a grey sweatshirt with the hood up, black gloves with white skeletons on the tops of the hands and a small duffle like bag.

I moved my car to the front of my house and as I was totally shaken, went to the neighbors house to calm down. I did call the police, but not soon enough. Police said if he returns to call immediately.

Well, he returned just an hour or so later, harassing another neighbor woman when thankfully the same neighbor I ran to after my incident came out to try and protect her and take a picture of him. He quickly fled to the Holy Rosary playground.

BEWARE EVERYONE, BUT ESPECIALLY WOMEN AND CHILDREN!

He’s been seen before lurking around, watching young girls at the playground. I also believe this is the same person who tried to break into my front door in the early evening, with all my lights on, almost this same time last year, because the suspect who did that was talking aggressively under his breath, had the same shuffle/schlep and that incident had an eerily similar feeling to today’s.

CALL THE POLICE IF YOU SEE HIM.

In my opinion, places where dogs belong: your house, your fenced yard, on a leash outside, camping or hiking. Places where dogs don’t belong: grocery stores, festivals, concerts, playgrounds, city park beaches, off-leash outside, and restaurants, with a few exceptions for places that are designed to be dog friendly. I have a dog, and those are the rules I follow.

And another thing, people who cheat the system and falsely claim their dogs are service dogs are no different from non disabled persons who park in disabled persons parking spots.

I don’t know what this gobbledygook quote is supposed to mean and I did read the voters pamphlet. Who, exactly is he addressing? What is he claiming as his issues?

I love reading the pamphlet, it lets me know who all of the kooks and crackpots are.

[Totally]

I totally agree….with wsb1984. Children of any age should not play in the streets or parking lots of apartments and or Condos, streets were made for the use of vehicles and now bikes.
Parks, playgrounds, and yards are for children to play in.
