Topic: Where to get rid of dirt?
I have a truckload of dirt and some old sod from my yard that I need to get rid of. I tried putting an ad on Craigslist but there was no response. I need it gone by the weekend, any ideas where to take it?
Topic: Hiring a gardener
Zook & Oleson Gardening estan contratando maintenance gardeners.
Experience as a landscaper is not necessary, we can train – but you must speak Spanish. (English is nice but not required.)
Pay starts at $11.50/hr, with prompt raises for demonstrated experience. The position is full time – well, more than full time, really, as we are very busy and generally work 10 hour days. If you need the day off work, that’s usually okay, but if you come in you’ll need to stay until we’re done, usually about 6pm.
We start in West Seattle at 7:30am. You will need to bring your lunch already packed. We drive company trucks to the clients, so your own vehicle or drivers license is not required. The work will initially include the basic tools of lawn care (mowers, edgers and blowers) but would eventually evolve into plant care, container work and fine pruning.
After 90 days, you accrue 6 paid sick days a year, per Seattle city law. All federal holidays except Columbus Day are paid days off (usually that’s 9 a year.) Overtime is paid at time and half, and we are always in overtime. (So a 50 hour work week is normal, but pays 55 hours.) The work is very physical and you must be able to lift 50 lbs.
We work year round with no layoffs. We don’t work Saturdays or Sundays. We’re not looking for a part timer or someone just for the summer – ideally you will dive in and be part of our close-knit crew, every day, for years to come.
We have been around 15 years. We love to work where we live (in West Seattle) but you will also get see some of the great estates of Capitol Hill, Hunts Point, and Medina. We have great employees and wonderful clients, and very little turnover in either. Please call Ben at (206) 595.2793 to discuss, or email ben@zaogardening.com.
Hasta hablamos, muchas gracias!
What is the process for requesting speed bumps along this very busy, and sometimes dangerous, street because of the speeding cars. Any input would be appreciated.
Topic: 3rd Goose at Lincoln Park
So maybe this has already been posted but if not, some really great news for fans of the geese at Lincoln Park.
The kind man who put them there years ago brought a gentleman suitor to join them. He’s bigger than the two sisters and his name is Sam.
When the man comes down to visit every week or so, they honk up a storm when they see him coming! He feeds them romaine lettuce by hand and they look so happy!
Sam has traveled from up near Anacortes? if I remember correctly. I think he’s around 3yrs. old.
Let’s hope they continue to enjoy a long, happy and healthy, reasonably unfettered life.

My husband and I were walking at Brace Point and we noticed approximately 2 dozen small crab that were washed up dead. They were not molt [saw a few bigger of those] They were about 1 to 2 inches across. We have never seen this many before and wonder what might be causing this. Was surprised that the sea gulls were not after them too.
