Wouldn’t it be awesome to have a barge with a giant TV screen so we can watch Mondays soccer game Seattle vs Belgium from the beach?

JoHello! My name is Thea Pulido and I could be your new housesitter/pet-watcher! I was born and raised in West Seattle, and am recently back in the area after completing my master’s degree at NYU. I have quite a bit of experience, dating back to high school caring for all sorts of pets and households. I have cared for any pet between high maintenance purebreds to low maintenance kitties who are just looking for someone to cuddle with overnight. I have been known to water plants, look out for mail/packages and take out trash/recycling. My typical rates start at $50/day and depend on factors such as number of pets and length of stay. Please reach out to me via text at 206-418-9099 or email at theapulido21@gmail.com!

Topic: Speeding cars on SW Genesse
I’m sorry to be a complainer, but has anyone else observed how people, particularly during morning and evening rush hour, are treating the portion of SW Genesee between Delridge Way and Avalon as their personal racetrack? I’m not so lame that I would sit there with a radar gun to prove my point, but I have eyes and can judge speed as well as the next guy, and can tell the difference between 25mph and 45mph. This wouldn’t be too serious except the north side of the street is all residential, including the 30th Ave SW bus stops for the 50. I’ve had to dodge people who were both speeding and felt no obligation to stop for people getting off the bus, and have seen others having to do the same. There’s no protected crosswalk there(just the pedestrian ramps) and no real way to safely get across the street to access to depart the bus stops. Anyone else having this experience?
A very cute bright green budgie has shown up on our deck today. Is anyone missing one? It looks like this: https://share.google/e2ZsrfryeC1YNGhz8

Topic: teenagers ruin movie
Hey West Seattle parents đź‘‹
if you have a teenager that went to see Backrooms at 7:20pm on Saturday the 30th, might wanna work on their behavior and expectations when in a public space. They were loud, unruly, rude and chaotic to the point the poor girl working alone had to stop the movie for the entire audience. They were disruptive. kept getting up to move seats, walk around, talk like this was a hangout. a kid in a Mariners hat brought in firework poppers and was throwing them during the movie. When attempting to kick your kids out of the theater they proceeded to cuss out and threaten the worker. Do not let your kids congregate 20 plus at a movie when they have no supervision and clearly do not know how to act in public.Completely unacceptable.
