I know we’ve been having a months-long discussion of what is the best doughnut in Seattle. See this forum: https://westseattleblog.com/blog/forum/topic.php?id=4324
But I was wondering how many people would agree that West Seattle has a dearth of good doughnuts, besides the supermarket variety? We have the best cupcakes, the best French pastries, and the best bagel selection in the city, but at least my family is tired of the trek east to get a doughnut.
(Side note: Original Bakery batch size seems geared to their immediate neighborhood, they always seem to be out of most of their doughnuts by the time we get there from Alaska Junction. And we have to drive there–would prefer a shop within walking distance of Alaska Junction, and for us, even the Admiral District is considered walking distance, maybe even Morgan Junction…)
So, who would support a campaign to bring a Top Pot into Alaska Junction/Admiral District/Morgan Junction in the future?

Topic: The Hum in Seattle
There was a discussion not long ago which has been closed relating to a strange hum people have been experiencing in the area. This caught my interest as I too have been suffering from the hum for several years now. What really peaked my interest is a commonality we share – Nucor Steel.
I am on the east coast and have been subject to the noise pollution that Nucor puts out since they upgraded their facilities to increase the output, though the last year has been the absolute worst, with the exception of the last several months of it being generally tolerable. Today however, it seems to have come back with a vengeance. I cannot begin to describe the horrible effects that this noise has, lack of ability to sleep being the most troublesome. It’s like living with a transformer right up next to your ears.
I would love to continue this discussion with others. I’m sure most here may not have even considered Nucor as a possibility (it took me a few years to come to the conclusion that they were most likely responsible.)
I am hoping that by sharing enough information we can work together to force Nucor to reduce the noise to a more accceptable level. I am convinced that they are responsible.
I would love for others who are bothered by this to chime in. I have more to contribute in terms of Nucor’s handling of my complaint, and would be happy to share it.
The recent discussion which is now closed is:
Got this from Furry Faces Foundation. Tonight’s fundraiser is at Abbondanza – they’re still working on details of exactly what will be transpiring at the event.

>>>That’s sweet, charming, lovable Elvis, a well known resident of West Seattle.
Elvis recently had an accident that resulted in a serious injury to his left hind leg.
Brittany, Elvis’s owner, contacted Animals First Foundation for advice and
assistance:
‘My name is Brittany and I have a small Chihuahua named Elvis,
The other day my friend was playing around with my dog and Elvis fell
wrong from a short height and tore all the ligaments in his foot. A
few friends recommended that I contact you in the fact that I have
absolutely no source of income to get him the surgery that he needs to
heal. I’m totally freaking out about this because this is my heart, he
is my life and he doesn’t deserve to be in pain like this. Could you please
point me in the right direction to get the help I need? I haven’t even
found a place to take him for the procedure yet, any information
would be fantastic’.
Animals First Foundation, (AFF), a new West Seattle based 501(c)3, sent Brittany to
South Seattle Veterinary Hospital for a second opinion. Ends up Elvis’ joint is dislocated, along with some ligament tearing. Corrective surgery, at a cost of $1,800.00, is required as he cannot be left in this condition. Next step, AFF directed Brittany to Furry Faces Foundation for financial assistance and fundraiser advice.
In collaboration with South Seattle Veterinary Hospital, the ‘Elvis Anderson’ fund has been established to help cover the cost of Elvis’ surgery and rehab. Although Furry Faces Foundation can assist with some of the cost, Elvis is hoping those that know him and the greater community can help him with the balance. If you would like to donate, here’s how:
1. South Seattle Veterinary Hospital can take credit/debit cards over the phone. Their number is 206-242-8338.
2. You can go in person to South Seattle Veterinary Hospital, located at 11033 1st Avenue South, Seattle, 98168 (just southeast of White Center)
3. Watch for announcements of fundraisers that Brittany will be coordinating and hosting.
Thanks to everyone for their consideration and caring. Cheers, Elvis, Brittany, AFF, and F3.
[Please note, if donations surpass $1,800.00, Elvis will donate the funds evenly between AFF and F3].<<<
Because the question was asked in another post about another hit-and-run incident (what is UP with people out there?) I thought I’d mention that we’re still looking for the loser who totaled my car and injured me.
We’re looking for a dark green 1994 Land Rover, with a light-colored real-wheel cover, with the license plate 68# WQ#. (I’ve been asked by WSB editors not to give the entire license plate.)
Original post is here:
https://westseattleblog.com/blog/forum/topic.php?id=5268
Though we have the plate, the car and driver’s license are registered under fake addresses.
Guessing this guy either works or lives in WS because we found out he actually bought parts to fix his car here.
If you do spot the car, please don’t approach the driver, just call 911 and report a vehicle that is suspected in a hit-and-run case.
I like to think there’s a special spot in hell for people like this guy.
