Hello Gnomes, Welcome to West Seattle! Aside from Disneyland it’s the best place on earth.
Many of our community orchards and gardens ask for donations of cardboard. Just something to think about… the link below is from 2010, but, it may provide some helpful information to put your unneeded cardboard to good use.
Also, here’s a great video from a series to give some intelligent answers to the bigest questions about climate change and one aspect of it, global warming.
and this segment which more directly deals with your global cooling comments:
***Breaking Cat Adoption News*** Kitty Harbor is having a special President’s Day Weekend adoption event! There will be 50 cats and kittens available for adoption THIS WEEKEND ONLY, Saturday and Sunday, 12 – 6 pm.
Jared–the cat who survived/was revived by the Seattle Firefighter, is ready to find his new home. He will be at Kitty Harbor interviewing and taking applications from people! He was determined to live and now wants to be your snuggle boy. Please come down to Kitty Harbor to meet him. https://westseattleblog.com/2012/01/house-fire-cat-rescued-west-seattle
[Because Jared still gets overly excited from attention and/or to much activity he needs a home with older children or no children].
I am a senior at Seattle University doing my thesis on sustainable housing in Seattle, looking specifically at factors that draw residents towards green housing. If you live in a eco-friendly apartment, condo or community, please take my very brief survey on residential preferences for sustainable housing below. I will be presenting my findings at the National Conference on Undergraduate Research in March, so this would be a tremendous help to my project and will help spread the word about sustainable living. Thanks in advance for your participation!
A local Seattle nonprofit that helps homeless people in the Seattle area,Stephanie’s Lifeline, is holding a “tent city” drive during the end of this month and most of next month. We will be collecting things that are helpful to people living in “tent cities.” If you would like to make any donations, please contact stephanie at Stephanie@stephanieslife.com.
Playing the devils’s advocate for just one moment, I recall an incident just last year when I was at the SW Library to shoot a few pictures of our very own “miws” using a library computer for a future WSB story. Just as a courtesy, I gave the librarian on duty a heads up that I WOULD be shooting a patron using a library computer. While the librarian acknowledged my right to take such images, they also asked if I would wait a moment (which I did) to wait and make sure there were no children in the area. That said, after waiting a minute or so – I got my pictures of miws at the SW public library. I did NOT have to wait – but I did. So, in my mind it DOES actually SHOW that the library folks DO care about privacy issues.
There is now a facebook page for folks living in west seattle who want to connect with other folks in support of occupy wall street! please join us and let’s get together in our neighborhood!! yay :)
