I think this is just temporary to recover from the fire… (??)

We had a few recommendations back in October

https://westseattleblog.com/blog/?p=3509

Personally, we go to the place that’s in The Junction near Yummy Teriyaki and the coin laundry. I can never remember its name. They have done a great job with everything we’ve ever taken to them.

Foreign Car Workshop of West Seattle, 4601 37th SW, 938-3972 –

there is a thread on here somewhere which lists some other places, too…

Reader Recommendation Requests: Teeth, eyes, cars

you have to wade through recommendations for dentists, but some other good suggestions (or not – lol) in here…

[JanS]

Please consider (especially if you’re unhappy with the candidate choices that remain to you) introducing a resolution supporting Instant Runoff Voting. (Resolutions introduced at the caucuses will not be voted on, but forwarded to a committee which will “condense and codify” them into “legal, precise, and hopefully coherent proposals”. They’ll then be voted on at the county convention (so being a delegate will give you a voice to support your resolutions).

The resolution is posted here (and improvements are welcome!):

I introduced this topic in an earlier post, but it’s been a while so it’s maybe not on the radar anymore (I hope this link to the earlier post works):

If you know your precinct you can look up the caucus location on this page.

http://www.34dems.org/news_caucus-2008-locations.htm

If you need to find your precinct number and don’t have your voter card handy, you can enter your name at the king county elections page:

https://www.metrokc.gov/elections/pollingplace/voterlookup.aspx

remember polling places are not caucus locations (though they can be)

My guess would be West Seattle High school if your in the same precinct as Hope Lutheran, otherwise you need to look it up.

There is also a caucus finder for the whole state at:

http://wa-demchairs.org/2008/caucuslocations.php

But it seems to be a bit slow indicating a lot of traffic. Actually after trying it several times it looks like it tipped over from the load…

and finally there is this map from king county. It is a somewhat large pdf file but you can zoom in to your location and see the boundary streets and precinct numbers.

There was a thread some time ago about this:

Reader Recommendation Request: Computer house call?

I used Quidnunc based on the reviews offered by the readers. They make house calls and are very helpful. I had originally thought I’d need a home visit for my sick PC, but the technician who I spoke with over the phone actually walked me through a 5 min. procedure curing my notebook, all at no charge. Can’t get any better than that.

Quidnunc’s website: http://www.quidnunc.net/index.htm

There was a blog post on that a while back if you want to take a look: https://westseattleblog.com/blog/?p=5078

Last fall when WSB posted a topic on Cycle University’s expansion to WS and their 5-month InCycle class (https://westseattleblog.com/blog/?p=3411), I fantasized about signing up and getting in great shape for spring. But as with many cycling opportunities outside of BTW month, I chickened out, and now I wonder what could’ve been…

If you’re in the class now for the first time, care to share how it’s going for you? Are the classes and teachers inspiring, or are you counting the seconds til the torture is over every time? :) Also, what would you say was your cycling level before you started? Would you do it again or recommend it? What type of rider do you think it’s most geared toward? Any other thoughts? Talk to me!

One of the Metro reps at the Fauntleroy RapidRide open house did talk about the 2010 system-wide review and we reported that in our item:

I am hoping that anyone who wants their voice heard will understand the situation in the short term.

The primary is only important if you are a republican.

The Caucus on Saturday Feb. 9th at 1 pm is the only place presidential nominee delegates will be chosen this year.

I checked my ballot on the primary page at king county elections and there are NO ballot measures, annexation votes or fire of school district measures on it.

https://www.metrokc.gov/elections/pollingplace/voterlookup.aspx

I am thinking of choosing the worst possible candidate and voting in the Republican primary since they will be choosing half the Republican delegates via the primary.

Last time the primary was cancelled due to neither party choosing delegates from its results with a savings of several million taxpayer dollars.

If you want to “get out among the people” this year, you should join your neighbors at the caucus on Feb 9th and let your voice be heard.

Also note anyone who wants to make their local party, be it Republican or Democrat, either more progressive or more conservative, has very nearly only one path to do so. Join the local district organization and become a voting member.

If you’re a Democrat or even a green or socialist leaning independent, your only chance to tilt district policy in the direction you want is to join and speak up.

http://www.34dems.org/members-join.htm

If you are a Republican then use google to look for your contact and caucus info. I think the WA Republican party has purged most of the moderates but a few are still hanging on here in Seattle. If you identify yourself as a moderate Republican, please join your party and help save them from the crazies.

Note: the 34th district includes all of West Seattle, Vashon Island and parts of Burien

Caucus info is updated regularly here:

Here’s the link when they announced the cancellation.

hi – we had a discussion about house cleaners back when Reader Recommendations were on the main part of the site, pre-forums – look at the comments here:

https://westseattleblog.com/blog/?p=4208

[WSB]

finally done!

https://westseattleblog.com/blog/?page_id=5111

find it from the “schools” tab atop any page

will add some more resources over the weekend but for now we think it’s a fairly comprehensive list of schools with their weblinks and also maps showing where they are. thanks again for the idea.

In case anyone is interested, we had a Reader Recommendation Request thread on preschools back in August:

We’ve listed many on the Events page

https://westseattleblog.com/blog/?page_id=3402

we did have some roof recs in this thread from before RRRs moved to the forums:

The other half of the team, who is up and reading the NY Times on Sundays hours before we creak to life, notes that Michael Kinsley (moving to WS or perhaps already here, as we reported last month:

https://westseattleblog.com/blog/?p=4809 )

has an item in today’s NYT about the presidential candidates and “change”:

http://www.nytimes.com/2008/01/06/opinion/06kinsley.html

Also note we have reported on this twice on WSB so far with details and links too (haven’t seen the citywide media paying much attention yet, but honestly, this is only a month away!) —

Hi, Todd – before we moved RRRs here to the forums, we had a dentist discussion, with recommendations, here – if you haven’t seen it yet, maybe there are some ideas:

Hi – we have just received confirmation there will be an event this Saturday, 10 am-2 pm, at the Alki Masonic Hall, with the Rainbow Girls auxiliary organization collecting trees for a $5 donation (the trees will be turned into mulch). We put out a call on the site recently for anyone else with events to please let us know — so far that’s the only one we’ve heard from. We also published info on taking your tree to the county disposal site that’s nearest WS, in this post:

https://westseattleblog.com/blog/?p=4849

thanks, TR @ WSB

we had a computer fixing thread pre-forums here —

good luck! hope someone there can help …

[WSB]

The search box on our site really does work pretty well. Typing in alki sidewalk brings up our most recent report:

and the previous one

We were just out “cruising for news” before sundown and guess we missed the spot where work has begun; will check it out tomorrow.
