I’d like to add another perspective: many people are adopting rescue dogs, and those dogs have been through a lot. That doesn’t mean that they should bark incessantly. But it does mean many have suffered from trauma and are really hard to train. In my little part of the neighborhood, we all have rescue dogs–and they react to noise, aren’t so responsive to click ‘n treat, etc., and need some extra care. No one is just letting their dog bark all day.

[heartless]

I hear you. I’m not sure anyone sees these changes as a cure, anymore than removing a spear from someone’s body is a cure. Maybe think of it, instead of a cure, as just a step in the right direction?

That said, we’ve tried the current system for what, a hundred years? And it’s not working. So I’m thinking a new approach might be worth a go. And at the very least it will take a lot of pressure off of our police force, relieving them of tasks that they were never trained for, and never really wanted to do in the first place.

[CarDriver]

If defunding and reimagining SPD makes thing’s better i’m all for it. I’m not an expert.My concern is that the new way turn’s out to not be the cure that people think it is. If it is I will be happy to say “I was wrong” If it isn’t who will take ownership and accept responsibility? We want thing’s to be better-not just different.

[heartless]

I find it telling that you doubt there are people who want to deal with “…the homeless, mentally ill, domestic abuser’s[sic]”. Not only are there people who want to deal with them, there are people who already willingly do it for far less than police are paid. The police do NOT fill these roles because nobody else will–they fill these roles because that is the way the system is currently set up.

“How will these new city employees make things better? Will they make these social problem’s decrease? Will society really be “safer?”

How will they make things better? They will be trained to specifically address different issues. Specialization is a good thing! Who would be better equipped to deal with a stray dog chasing people through a neighborhood: police, with less interest in animals and marginal at best training in animal handling and welfare, or people whose entire job is dealing with animals? And who do you think would RATHER deal with animals?

Let’s continue: Who do you think is better equipped to deal with someone who is mentally ill? Someone with years training in social work and someone who is not seen as an authority figure, or a cop who has almost no training in the matter and who so many of the mentally ill fear?

Answer those questions, and try to answer them honestly, and then ask yourself if society wouldn’t be safer.

“If we defund now will all the people that want that to happen be available to defend their demands if it turns out it didn’t cure everything they promised it would?”

Honestly, I don’t really know what you were trying to say here, it came out rather garbled. If you care to try your question again I’d be happy to respond, but, really, that question makes no sense to me, and suggests you might not actually understand the mechanisms behind defunding and systemic change.

[CarDriver]

heartless. Re:#2. I’m betting police would LOVE not having to respond to the non violent issue’s you list. I doubt they asked to be social workers on wheel’s. My guess is they have to do it because nobody else will. Do you believe that now you’ll find people that want careers dealing with all the homeless, mentally ill, domestic abuser’s? How will these new city employees make things better? Will they make these social problem’s decrease? Will society really be “safer? Re#3. If we defund now will all the people that want that to happen be available to defend their demands if it turns out it didn’t cure everything they promised it would?

[heartless]

No.

1) You cannot in good faith judge protesters by their worst element and then argue against judging cops by their worst elements. And that is what this statement does.

2) The majority of police, once defunding is explained to them, are for it. Why? In the words of the Dallas Police Chief, back in 2016, “We’re asking cops to do too much in this country.” Once you explain that defunding means letting police focus on policing, rather than tending to lost dogs or noise complaints or mental health crises, police are all for it–because it narrows the focus, something that will help with the very real issue of over-worked cops that you mention.

3) Defunding police departments is one of the best ways to help police. Read more:

Last week, I received a heart-rending letter sent to family and friends from a young woman I’ve known and loved since she was a toddler. She was raised here, and she and her husband lived in West Seattle until just recently. They were both very active here in civic organizations, she as a social services director and he as a cop.

We’re grateful to have had peaceful and meaningful demonstrations of community support for the black community here in West Seattle. But there has been violence elsewhere in our city. My friend feels that folks are not getting any perspective on SPD, and what the force and their families are going through. A number of you might even know and respect this couple from their community work, but I’ve omitted her name to protect them. Her letter follows. It’s long, but worth reading.

Dear friends,
I am asking that you please take a few minutes to read this. After days of violence in Seattle, I feel it is important for you to hear my perspective as someone who is both an advocate for social justice and wife of a Seattle Police Officer.

We are locals but I met my husband while working as a teacher in South Central L.A. When I heard that he wanted to be a police officer someday like his father, I probably cringed inside. At the time, I didn’t personally know any cops and believed the stereotype (that many have right now) that people often become police officers because they are power hungry and corrupt.

As I got to know him better, I learned about the role his father played with the Seattle Police Department helping victims of internet crimes against children. My respect for my future father-in-law grew as I realized he was fighting to keep some of the most marginalized and vulnerable populations safe. His job meant he had to see and deal with horrifying situations that no one should have to deal with, a sacrifice he was willing to make to help get a child out of a sexually abusive situation or a young teen out of human trafficking.

When my husband started the police academy and then eventually became a police officer, I got an insider’s view of the complicated roles police officers play to protect the public and also ensure that they can go home safely at the end of their shift. I also saw the numerous trainings, the high level of accountability, and the scrutiny cops are under daily while doing their jobs in the city of Seattle.

For several years, I worked at a social service agency and my husband worked at a precinct right down the street. He spent a lot of nights doing community talks in local neighborhoods to create trust and build relationships amongst the community and police. He often referred community members who were in need of resources to my organization. We spent a lot of time talking about the deep-rooted systemic problems within our society and what part we played in making progress in the right direction. I think it was around that time that I truly fell in love with him.

Becoming part of the Seattle police family completely changed my perspective on police officers. The Seattle police force is a diverse mix of people from different races, sexual orientations and backgrounds. I have never experienced such a cohesive group of people who are authentically themselves and respect each other and their diversity. It is almost a model for how the rest of the community can build diverse relationships. I’ve learned how the Seattle Police Department has been a leader in police reform for over a decade: they must follow very specific protocol, and have oversight from a variety of community groups while maintaining a high level of transparency with the actions they take every day.

Throughout my husband’s career, he has put his life on the line again and again to arrest individuals with extensive violent criminal histories. These are dangerous people in the community who have committed heinous crimes like murder, rape, and running organized prostitution rings. My husband now works as a bicycle officer in downtown Seattle. As a bicycle officer, he has been a part of hundreds of protests in a city that has demonstrated national leadership in peaceful protests.

I have never felt more worried in my life over the current status of things in our nation today. The death of George Floyd was disturbing and immensely sad. My husband was upset and angry when he heard about George Floyd’s murder. He knew it NEVER should have happened and the cop should be charged with murder. Seattle police officers were outraged along with the community and nation.

I expected protests. I didn’t expect what they would evolve into night after night after peaceful protesters went home. For many nights my husband and his fellow officers had to endure conditions that are unacceptable. SPD cops are human, therefore not perfect. But they have shown remarkable training and restraint under very trying conditions.

In the evenings, individuals in the crowds have carried baseball bats, wood shields, metal poles, sticks with screws, large rocks, cinder blocks, bricks, fireworks like M-80s, Molotov cocktails, improvised explosives, lighter fluid, and frozen water bottles to name a few. They have written signs and graffiti that say “Kill Cops” and “All Cops Must Die.” Their rhetoric has consisted of things like, “Take your gun and shoot yourself in the head.” Some council members validated that message by saying their anger was justified.

My husband has been punched in the head. He’s been hit with rocks, gallon milk jugs, and numerous other objects. He’s been sprayed with bear mace. Fellow officers have gone to the hospital from having explosive devices and objects like cinder blocks hurled at them. He has personally removed hammers and knives from individuals. Another night my husband told me his job was to locate a group of individuals and remove their homemade explosives. My husband has been told by multiple people that they are going to look up his name and track down his family to kill them. My husband has asked me to deactivate my social media pages because people are threatening to follow cops home and kill their families. Some are looking to social media to gather details on family members.

One night my husband’s precinct was greatly outnumbered by a crowd trying to break into his precinct to light it on fire. That night I felt sick to my stomach when I briefly talked to him on the phone while he was inside the precinct. I could tell by his voice that he was concerned for his safety and that of his fellow officers. The night before, multiple rows of fences were set up around the East Precinct. People cut the last fence and created sharp objects facing the police and then moved the other fences. The police were told to stand down. The East Precinct is now boarded up and empty. What happens when the people of this community need a police officer to protect their safety? It could be you and they won’t be nearby. [NOTE: SPD is still responding to 911 calls in the area.]

All I hear from the media, mayor, and city council is how police were inciting crowds and instigating violence. Some city council members are now asking to dismantle the Seattle Police Department because of their actions during the protests. Often, using flashbangs and gas was the only way to disperse the crowds. Police are being told to no longer use gas. Yet it is a useful tool to protect themselves and disperse crowds in the least violent way, often hours after a set curfew and many reminders from police to leave the area. They have only used gas once crowds have turned violent and it becomes a public safety concern. Ask yourself honestly if you could withstand the abuse, tension, long hours and the danger without having recourse to some defensive self-protective actions when safety becomes an issue. Then ask yourself honestly if you would ever in a million years take this extremely risky and unappreciated job in the first place.

My husband has worked 17-hour days for days on end. Yesterday he worked from noon until 6 am this morning and has only had a day off to work from home to catch up on paperwork. His father, who had been working from home as part of the vulnerable Covid population, was called in to work 16-hour days amongst thousands of people when the riots started. The Seattle Police Department is already understaffed and crime rates have risen in Seattle over the last few years. There aren’t enough officers for 911 calls as it is. My husband is called in frequently on his days off because the department is so understaffed. If the city defunds the police department as Seattle City Councilmembers are now calling for, crime will only get worse and the safety of our community members will be more in jeopardy. Many good officers are looking to leave the department because they are doing their best but feel little support from leadership or the community they have sworn to protect.

Why? Because these conditions are unacceptable for our public servants and the narrative most are hearing about the Seattle Police Department is extremely misleading. It amplifies fear and anger at our police officers and creates more division within our community. Not all police departments across the country are the same. The Seattle Police have been at the forefront of change and they keep working at it. My husband is frustrated that years of work towards reform and building trust in the community has been completely lost.

I see systemic racism in all facets of society and law enforcement is one of them. I understand why people are upset. As a community we are crying out for peace, love, and equity. We all want change. I just wish people were getting the message that our local police officers want it too. Friends, please realize that you can be an advocate for Black Lives Matters and change, while also supporting our local police. We are going to have to solve these issues together! If I hadn’t met my husband or his father, I might not know or understand this myself because that story is not out there. That’s why I am reaching out to tell it.

Nothing justifies what was happening night after night to our local officers, who were doing their best to balance the civil rights of peaceful protesters, curb violence, protect citizens, property and themselves. Our city leaders need to hear you tell them that. Please take the time to contact them. Thank you.

CarDrive: What a load of bollocks! This is nothing but rank supposition and nonsense. You presume that no one is training their dogs and that all dogs are prone to barking all day long in the absence of their people. This is akin to saying that al people are the same and is patently ridiculous.

I’d add the closing of Boren to the same category. And Roxhill not getting an upgraded facility. And the playground equipment inequity. And kids that ride busses standing outside waiting for up to 30 minutes in the pouring rain getting drenched to the skin.
Don’t get me started on Wi-Fi availability and laptops and printers.
That’s what I see/observe. I’d like to hear/listen about what current experiences are.

Anyone out there got a bed in box mattress they just love?
I’m in the process of returning a Winkbed – side sleeper 5’11” 210lbs. Lower back is killing me from current bed.
Before that was a Casper, sank into it after too long and gave it away.

I’m looking at so many beds too many to count. So looking for anyone local that has a good experience with any that is in my size range and has had the bed awhile.

Thanks for your time!

You won’t get the actual 940Mb unless you are ethernet connected directly to the router but my average speed is in the 600-700Mb range.

It takes the right team to ensure a top notch company and MoxyJo’s House Cleaning is in search of a dynamic, high spirited, independent person to be a part of the team!

The dream of MoxyJo’s owner and operator, Joanna Hall has always been to create a work environment that is quite rare for the blue-collar work force in our society. As a team we are not only striving to change the face of housecleaning but also create a company culture that has every need of all staff in mind. It really is no mystery that if you take care of your employees you in turn get quality work, dependability and reliability. As an employee if you feel taken care of by the company that you work for, your quality of life is greatly improved. It’s a win-win for everyone. The way we do this so far is with competitive pay, birthdays off, monthly MoxyJo’s dinners or days out, weekly breakfast during meetings, snacks and drinks provided for the day ahead, flexibility in the hours and days the employees need, and once a month massage for full time employees. Speaking of full time, we only require our employees to clean 30 hours a week to qualify as full time. We know this is hard work and its hard on the body. We don’t believe in over-working and over-stressing our team. We have much more in the works to make this one of the best blue-collar jobs around. MoxyJos.com/careers

Looking for opinions on how CL fiber performs here in WS (particularly Alaska Junction) compared to Comcast. CL’s claims of speeds of up to 940Mb for $65 seem almost too good to be true.

Any other pros/cons of one vs the other?

Benches open for sitting?
People wearing masks?
Current rules?

Hi Amber,
While I would not be able to provide legal services or advice, I am happy to have a few consultations with you to see what I can do to help you. Unfortunately, I do not have any legal contacts, but I can be on deck to help with the project of shutting down your downtown location and what needs to be done to focus on your West Seattle location. (I’m happy to hear that you are able to keep the W. Seattle one open. I love that place!). My expertise is in Financial and HR areas, but Project Management is Project Management.

There is a lot of work involved with determining the steps you need to take, keeping track of the legal items, and making sure that the tasks get done. Something that you don’t have time to do! I’m about to move closer to your location (within walking distance) and I am happy to meet with you via video conference or six feet with a mask. Your choice :)

-Rachael

[freshys]

Hey there- I would be interested in receiving some insight about the direction that my business will be going. I’m not sure if project management is the route I need, but you never know:). I’m mainly interested in some legal advice due to needing to shut down my downtown business while maintaining and focusing on my West Seattle location. Regardless, it would be helpful to hear ideas and suggestions based on your career insight. Let me know if you are interested. At the very least, maybe you could help point me to the right location based on contacts that you know and your experience with small businesses. This is truly an amazing gift you are offering small businesses and I thank you for that! I certainly could offer some trade opportunities:). Amber

[rachaeldang]

I am a fellow West Seattleite and I am looking to help out the local small businesses and non-profits in my community who are struggling. I would like to offer free consultant services to a business that is in need of someone to organize the projects they have or just to consult on best practices. My mission is to help businesses and non-profits who cannot afford professional project management services (and I get to help the community I love grow. Win-win!)

My objective is to meet with the business to determine the scale of their needs and determine if they need someone to lead a portfolio of projects, one or two projects, or just help organize their projects for easy execution (by either me or themselves – depending on the work involved since I currently work as a Project Manager). We can then agree on the time frame of services and the expectations of how many hours per week. Also, you may not even know what you need and I can listen and guide you to your best options.
