Animals suffer from PTSD, and many pets in West Seattle (as well as their owners) have been so traumatized over the extreme, over-the-top use of fireworks here that they react at the sound of the first pop. This year, my cat went into a kind of shock/terror, where he became an immobilized blob trying to sink into the floor, licking and drooling. When I picked him up his limbs remained rigid, just like the animals you see rescued from situations of severe abuse. No amount of tranquilizers help, NOR SHOULD ANYONE HAVE TO RESORT TO DRUGGING THEIR PETS DUE TO THE LAWLESS AND RECKLESS BEHAVIOR OF OTHERS.

The police have the gall to actually announce on TV that they will not enforce fireworks violations, and the only admonition goes out to those who might dare to call 911 to report abuse. There has always been a kind of backward approach to criminal behavior in Seattle. Commit a crime or exhibit outrageous behavior, and you get a slap on the wrist at best, with most people turning away in a passive aggressive manner. Complain about, or confront such behavior and you.will.be.punished. It seems to be a form of virtue branding, with many Seattleites congratulating themselves on their “tolerance” – even when said “tolerance” creates a situation that is dangerously intolerable, or, to put it bluntly – just plain stupid.

Offhand, I’m thinking of a few things we can do to stop this. First, we have a new mayor and eventually a new police chief. Pressure must be brought to bear on these officials (include Herbold) to begin to enforce the laws of this city. Second, work on the restriction of fireworks sales, in White Center and elsewhere. I personally think the ban should be statewide. A valid case can and should be made that explosives should not be sold recreationally. Quite frankly, most fireworks use seems to have devolved to this category. Third, citizen action. At the very least, gather widespread audio/visual documentation of the scope of this activity, especially on the 4th, accompanied by affidavits of complaint and/or an online petition demanding that the law be enforced. The documentation could be supplied to numerous sources, both governmental, civil, and journalistic.

There are other actions citizens could take, but then the lines begin to blur in terms of safety and legality. Of course, fireworks violators have already shown their contempt for such things but there’s no doubt in my mind that they would be the first to squeal and demand protection were they to be confronted.

This year, let’s make it happen. Or rather, let’s make it STOP.

newnative, there have been a couple of recent discussions about fireworks on NextDoor recently that have turned ugly as well and in the same manner as you describe. The current one, of course regarding the Seahawks/NYE fireworks, the other started maybe a couple months or so ago now, more specifically about the “Seahawks Cannon” that somebody sets off. The discussion has pretty much encompassed the Highland Park/S.Delridge/White Center/Shorewood/Arbor Heights areas. People have shared their stories about traumatized dogs (the Original Post was about a person’s dog being traumatized.

In that earlier post, one of the neighbors went to the trouble of organizing a neighbor meet-up to get both sides together to civilly discuss the issue and see if a compromise could be worked up. I believe the original intent was to meet at a local coffee shop but there was so much interest expressed that the organizer reserved a room at the White Center Library.

Within minutes, fewer than 10, IIRC, the meeting got ugly. There was yelling, swearing, and at least threats of physical violence, if not actual physical violence. The police were called, the meeting participants were kicked out of the library, and other people had already left out of fear of the violence getting worse. The organizer, who seemed to have nothing but the best of intentions of bringing neighbors together to resolve an issue was so humiliated that he left ND, although I believe he has returned.

Both discussions have devolved into name-calling, and commenters going back-and-forth insulting each other. Also some nasty language. Makes me glad that WSB actually enforces their rules on commenters interacting with each other in a civil manner. I’m considering leaving ND these arguments and unenforced rules get so ridiculous. The minimal benefits I get from the site just aren’t worth it. (Yes, I know individual discussions, etc, can be muted).

But, yeah, enforcement really needs to happen. Time and time again, for years, when I’ve read comments here on WSB, about fireworks, saying that the laws need to be enforced, in my mind I have agreed, *but*, have been of the mindset of how difficult, if not logistically impossible it would be to enforce, especially on July 4th, but repeated attempts at *civil* discussion, repeated reminders of how traumatizing the noise can be for pets and veterans, repeated reminders of the fire dangers and citing specific examples of homes burnt down by fireworks, and repeated reminders that fireworks are illegal in Seattle, and have very limited legality in Unincorporated King County, if not falling on deaf ears, are met with; “It’s only *one* day a year!” “Why don’t you just go out of town that day?” “Doesn’t bother *my* dog* any!” “They have tranquilizers/Thundershirts for your dog!”, “Why don’t you just board your dog for that *one* night?” “You’re Anti-American!”

So, yeah, I really don’t have an answer on what to do other than maybe continued prodding of SPD/The Mayor/The City Council. :-/

Unless enforcement were taken seriously, you can’t do much about fireworks. The discussion about this on Facebook got ugly once the pro-fireworks crowd started in with their usual blame-the-victim commentary.I’m sure most people do know that fireworks are illegal and just don’t care.

[JoB]

I am one of the many pet owners who spent New Year’s eve trying to calm already tranquilized pets. The fireworks started with the first SeaHawks touchdown and literally did not quit in my Westwood neighborhood till 3 AM. By then my dog was a quivering mass roaming my house looking for any safety he could find.

big deal.. right? No matter how much i treat my pet as a member of the family.. it’s only a dog, right?

Well, no. Our neighborhood was the location of fatal gunshots this year.. and vets with PTSD live on this street.. as do new babies and a few elderly. the same fireworks that had my dog reeling in spite of the largest dose of tranquilizers i could safely give him left people reeling too.

Those few minutes of “innocent” fun added up to hours of misery for many… a misery that is no longer confined to special occasions… unless of course you count any score for any major sporting team a special occasion.

It’s particularly ironic that people who are outraged when someone else’s tree dumps leaves in their yard.. or blows those leaves during naptime .. or leaves a bag full of dog waste in their garbage can justify stealing the peace of their neighbors… it’s just innocent fun..

unless of course you are the victim.

Are cats safer indoors? Yes. But I’m with EdSane in that I believe their quality of life is better if they can go out. It’s in their nature to want to be outdoors. My last cat lived to 17. As she got older, she spent more time indoors than outdoors, which was natural too.

My current cat is 10, and as a small kitten, she once jumped off a second story balcony in her desire to roam the outdoors. I learned pretty quickly that trying to keep her indoors was futile. She loves being outside, and goes out in rain and snow. She is the kind of cat who greets people walking past my house, and she’s introduced me to people on my block, because they always stop to pet her.

I do worry about the risks of letting her outside, and I make sure she’s in at night. But I believe the risks are worth it for the richer life my cat leads as a result.

You’d need an electrician to make sure you’ve got a circuit capable of supporting the sump pump. The motor inrush current can be quite a bit, making it difficult to share with other items.

We had O’Neil, a plumbing place, out to work on our basement water ingress. It was an indoor basement perimeter french-drain. Despite few changes at the house in the past 55 years, it appears that the water table rose enough that water ingress was happening pretty regularly with rain. We wondered if a lot of the efforts to disconnect downspouts from the sewer system have had this side-effect.

I’m not sure you can just dig a single pit for a sump pump. I think it’s a visible part of a whole draintile system.

[birdrescuer]

I have a small (6lb), 9 years old, female mix breed who has just gone blind due to a genetic disorder. She seems a bit depressed so I thought if she had a small dog to cuddle with she may feel better. If you have, or know of a dog, that might be a good fit, please contact me at:
activistkmw AT hotmail DOT com. Thanks

[EdSane]

Our family had an outdoor cat that lived 18 happy years and died of natural causes. My moms current cat is around 14. I honestly believe both have had a much higher quality of life being able to enjoy the outside and exercise rather then being trapped indoors.

[Dphok]

Hello my name is Dany and I have been searching for a 3 bedroom home for my family in the West Seattle area. My lease is over February 1st and I haven’t had any luck with finding a place to call home. I have a 3 bedroom section 8 voucher for $2000 including wsg, I believe no more then $2,040. I currently work full time as an assistant teacher with the West Seattle Ymca preschool and would love to reside in West Seattle. I have been a loyal tenant where I am staying now for almost 5 years. Reasons for moving is because we are living in a 2 bedroom apartment on the third floor with no elevator and little space. My goal is to get my 9 and 4 year old kids into a home with more space, each of them have their own room and a backyard to play in. I wasn’t sure what to do next and that’s why I am posting this on here. I am hoping this post will reach out to all the private home owners looking for a tenant to rent out their home. I am just a mother trying to do better who just need someone to notice that I am trying regardless of credit scores. I have really great payment history and work references if that means anything. you can leave me a comment with your contact info if you can help. Thank you and god bless

I was just in the True Value, and around the corner of the isle from me I overheard the nicest conversation. A customer got the attention of a floor manager, and said he just wanted to compliment one of the employees. He named the employee (I don’t recall, sorry!), and had some really great specific things to say about how he’d been treated at the store that day. It was just such a nice thing for him to go out of his way to have such treatment recognized, and it was really heartwarming to hear. I agree, too; I always feel I’m going to get highly informed and courteous service at their store. So great work, True Value, thanks to your kind customers, and happy holidays!
