Al (almco@aol.com) has been helping us with our yard for several years. He is not afraid to dig in to a difficult job (recently removed and uprooted a large mass of ivy that was swallowing a fence and large tree) or even help relocate large amounts of mulch.
He’s very careful not to remove anything you might want to keep while weeding so it’s important to go over a job thoroughly before he gets started.
Nice local West Seattle guy if you need help with yard work.

I’m in my 50s, use a cane, and am a bit slow at checkout sometimes because I have MS and spinal arthritis. I also use a food stamp card. I’m white, chubby, and also wear hoodies to cover my bedhead – and I have been targeted several times by a specific woman who mans the self-service checkout line.

She hovers over me and squawks out “you need to remove what you didn’t scan from your bag!” when the scale is trying to catch up to the register part. I get confused about an item and use the picture menu and she barks out “you need to scan it again before you put it in the bag!”

She has gone so far as to check my bags AFTER checkout and my basket. I dropped my cane one day and she just looked at me. I slowly managed to pick it up and I said “thanks for your help” and she just smirked at me like I was faking it. She has ALSO hovered over me with a particular security guard there and commented loudly as she has above a few times. The guard now lingers around me when I am checking out, even when I use the regular checkouts with attendants, and I am furious.

She’s tall and big and intimidating especially to someone who is confused some days and learning to manage life with MS flares and chronic pain. I always get decent service and she is the outlier as is her stumpy security cohort. I have to shop this week there and my son and I are going to file a complaint of some type because I am exhausted from her assuming I am stealing. I hope you do, too, if you haven’t already.

Don’t be fooled. It’s obviously a shield to protect us from the Jewish Space Lasers that Margorie Taylor Greene (aka Marge Three Toes) warned us about.

[elizabethcase]

Dear West Seattle Neighbor,

Do you value nature in the city and want to protect habitat for our urban wildlife?
Do you think we need to do better here in Seattle, to acknowledge the indigenous land we reside on and to honor First Nations?

There’s a project unfolding in West Seattle that could provide opportunities for both. As covered by WSB, WA State Ferries (WSF) needs to replace the 70-year-old Fauntleroy ferry terminal to maintain safe reliable ferry service between West Seattle, Vashon Island, and the Kitsap Peninsula and beyond. WSF has an online open house for folks to learn more about the project and share input on alternatives.

My wife and I live close to the Fauntleroy Ferry Dock, and we have a background in conservation and community development. There are lots of different opinions out there, and many neighbors are afraid the project will become a blight on the neighborhood, impacting property values, and creating even more traffic challenges for local residents. Knowing there is going to be construction for a few years is tough.

There are no easy answers–but it is clear this project is going to happen–and there might be an opportunity to shape this updated terminal in a positive way.

Are you an architect, an urban planner, a nearshore ecologist, a transportation specialist, a habitat restoration engineer, a fish biologist, a lighting engineer, or have other expertise to share? Would you be willing to provide technical insights on this project, outside of the WSF process to help inform our community? We want to better understand what is possible.

We want to encourage folks to think creatively about how this project could enhance the community, and ask you to weigh-in with WSF at the online open house.

We know you’re busy! But, please consider stepping through the slides at your own pace to learn about the planning work to date and provide feedback, here: https://engage.wsdot.wa.gov/fauntleroy-terminal/

Comments and questions are due by June 13th,2022 for this stage of the planning process. There will be more opportunity to weigh-in later this year.
