JanS’s daughter has decreed tomorrow’s fundraiser for her mom a politics free zone.

Silent Auction & Happy Hour for Jan Seeley

Time:

Sunday, November 6 · 2:00pm – 5:00pm

Location:

Feedback Lounge (6451 California Ave SW)

This fundraiser will also be a forum meet-up since Jan has so many friends and frien-emies here on the blog.

but we talk politics

and Jess says no :(

Hubby thinks it would raise real funds if we had a penalty jar… $5 for every political comment.

He has already placed his bet on how long it will take me to slip up ;->

Hope to see you there…

Cooper is an adult cat who likes belly rubs and lap warming. When contacted by a local shelter, asking if they could take Cooper, Kitty Harbor said ‘yes’. Looking for a great companion? Please contact Kitty Harbor @ 935-1919 to meet him during the week OR head down there this weekend during their adoption hours.

Here is a great breakdown by someone in the distillery business, long read but good.

Did you get a name and contact info. from the person who registered you? If not I would call the “council” headquarters here in Seattle and talk to them – Good luck, as a former leader and lifetime scout I can tell you it is well worth the time to volunteer and they have great programs and camps here locally.

Agreed. It is much less of an organized event here than back East. Trick-or-Treating is on Halloween, from whenever the kids come out to whenever you turn your porch light off. :)

In case you’re asking so you can understand when to take your own kids out, here is info about the other Halloween Trick-or-Treating events this weekend:

I agree that that’s a dangerous area for peds and a lot of drivers seem to use that area as a cut-through to avoid congestion on Fauntleroy.

If you aren’t already familiar with the city’s proposed zoning changes for the triangle, you might want to search the Blog for ‘triangle zoning change’. The proposed changes would include ‘establish[ing] a pedestrian (P) designation along SW Alaska Street between 36th Avenue SW and 41st Avenue SW’.

In my experience, the city won’t make additions such as a crosswalk until the changes are approved; however, it won’t hurt to make your concerns known. I think this is the most recent article on the changes:

Zoning changes for Triangle/east Junction? Official hearing set

There are also upcoming improvements related to Metro’s RapidRide stops at Cal/Alaska. There are plans to designate some or all of the curb lanes in that area as ‘bus-only’ which would also improve sight lines for peds and drivers.

Reader report: Man in car leaves runner concerned

the previously posted thread confirms that he does approach and harass underage children repeatedly, he does go into the businesses where his behaviors continue, and he car stalks. please be aware, be safe and report as needed.

i am grateful that we are able to bring this to the community’s attention by sharing useful information and insight, even in the presence of obviously inflammatory and mysogynistic comments. thank you empathetic and compassionate bloggers for all your issue related entries here.

well, hang out here for a while…we’re a friendly bunch. Meetup.com, I believe, has a West Seattle group. I’m not sure what other social groups there might be in West Seattle.

Periodically some of us on this forum get together…for coffee…drinks…whatever. There is a fundraiser for one of the posters (me, actually – there’s another thread about that) on Nov. 06 at the Feedback Lounge in the Morgan Junction. There will (hopefully) be quite a few people from around here that you could meet. Just come and say hi..it’ll be a fun afternoon, and nothing monetarily is expected. I’m just thinking that you’d get us in a small enclosed place, and we run the gambit from early 20’s to in our 60’s, male and female. It would be a chance to “socialize” without feeling out of place like just sitting at a bar :)

And, welcome to West Seattle. It’s a great place to live. Here’s a link to the aforementioned fundraiser…just so you know where we’ll be..

Whoa…wait a sec Semele…I see that you’d rather ride your bike to the eastside (https://westseattleblog.com/forum/topic/friday-is-bike-to-work-day), which seems to me would take much longer in commute time and is way more dangerous than taking the bus..? Not sure your response holds much weight in having to be home for your dog or someplace by 5:30. But I do understand having to be home at a descent time for animals or other issues. Just don’t quite understand why you would slam me on the bus issue when you so openly commented on wanting to ride your bike to work more often. Isnt’t that some form of alternate commute? Planes, trains, bikes, carpools…whatever your commute, is what I was getting at.

In case someone sees this before the main page article, just got an email that it’s been postponed:

https://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=140773612688571#!/event.php?eid=140773612688571

Come and say:

“I am endorsing the Food Day principles because I crave a food system that:

1. Reduces diet-related disease by promoting safe, healthy foods

2. Supports sustainable farms and limit subsidies to big agribusiness

3. Expands access to food and alleviate hunger

4. Protects the environment and animals by reforming factory farms

5. Promotes health by curbing junk-food marketing to kids

6. Supports fair working conditions for food and farm workers”

Food Day Campaign Launched for October 24th!

Many of the most prominent voices for change in the food movement and a growing number of health, hunger, and sustainable agriculture groups today announced plans for Food Day – a nationwide campaign to change the way Americans eat and think about food. Organized by the Center for Science in the Public Interest, Food Day will encourage people around the country to sponsor or participate in activities that encourage Americans to “eat real” and support healthy, affordable food grown in a sustainable, humane way.

Hope to see you there!

Oh, I would have posted it here eventually. If you all go and RSVP on the facebook event page, you can get updates and such! https://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=126138474156359

There’s going to be lots of great stuff, and as always these community events are a blast. We still need auction items, though!

@Yardvark

The Facebook page for Occupy Seattle has some options for sending hot food to the protesters. I believe that three pizza companies are offering discounts for deliveries to Westlake Park: https://www.facebook.com/OccupySeattle

In addition to hot food, the protesters are also requesting blankets and dry clothing.

West Seattle Event Calendar

Thanks, JWWS. We’ve had it there for a couple weeks.

Awaiting finalized times for the other local events (Admiral, Westwood, White Center) too. We’ll have the traditional HALLOWEEN page up shortly, breaking all this stuff out, but for now, there already is quite the array of Halloween events on the aforementioned page … many on the weekend of the 22nd, which is interesting, as opposed to the 29th, when you’d expect …

[chrisma]

Good point, JoB.

With pizza places named Red Star and Proletariat, is our peninsula breeding Bolsheviks?

I suppose to be completist we should mention the other newcomer Pizerria 22. I haven’t been there myself, but here’s the forum reviews:

An affordable and honest BMW mechanic or shop?

I LOL’d.

I also have trouble holding in my mind the contradiction of a Kia and a BMW parked in the same driveway/garage. Seems something like a matter/anti-matter reaction would quickly ensue.

The pizza question was asked here not long ago. Here’s that forum thread:

https://westseattleblog.com/forum/topic/looking-for-best-pizza-and-sub-sandwiches

Plus, WSB’s own Christopher Boffoli and a panel of local judges attempted to find the Best Pizza in West Seattle awhile back. Here’s that story. Don’t forget to check the comments, too:

Same tired old people on here griping about the world, but I like to pop in occasionally to see if the insanity continues (it does).

Just wanted to reply to the original poster and to others that have been around since the Stone Age. I’m glad that Herman Cain is starting to get traction. I was ahead of the curve many months ago and still support him.
