My toddler misplaced her left hearing aid just south of the Fauntleroy Ferry in West Seattle yesterday. Sadly, it was probably in the pebbles/sand & is now out to sea but MAYBE it was on the path back to the car. It might still be in one piece, but most likely she separated the ear mold (which is white with gold sparkles & stars) from the device (silver/grey Oticon). Please keep an eye out!

Hi Everyone! First time poster here so sorry if this has been asked.
I live on 38th Ave SW between Dawson and SW Hudson. Over the last couple of weeks there’s been loud construction work that continues very late into the night, sometimes into the early mornings where every few minutes there’s a loud bang or two. I cannot make out where it’s coming from, but it’s incredibly disruptive…. especially since we often have all our windows open to keep cool. It sounds like it’s coming from somewhere close to the junction.
I was under the impression there’s a construction curfew of 10:00 PM so it leads me to believe it may be something else… or they just don’t care. Normally I wouldn’t care, but it’s so loud that it’s disrupting my and my partner’s sleep.
Any insight would be helpful!
Thank you!

When people ask us if WSB has an op-ed section, we note that the Community Forums are the closest thing we have. We seldom publish anything on our own behalf but we have chosen to sign on to this letter by Seattle’s independent-journalist community, of which we’ve been a proud member for 13 years. Many of the signers are publishing it on their respective sites, too.
===========================================================We are independent news organizations, editors, reporters, photojournalists, and freelancers working in Seattle, and we are coming together to oppose the Seattle Police Department’s subpoena seeking unpublished photographs and video taken by journalists at the Seattle Times, KIRO 7, KING 5, KOMO 4, and KCPQ 13.
This is not the Trump Administration pursuing these subpoenas. It is the Seattle Police Department, charged with serving and protecting our city. Those duties should include protecting our free press rights.
We believe that a democratic society requires a truly free press, and that the Constitution protects the rights of journalists to work independently from the power of the state. That obviously includes independence from the Seattle Police Department. Journalists cannot safely and effectively do our work if authorities can seek our unpublished notes and images as evidence. We cannot gain the trust of sources, including protest participants, if we are seen as collaborators with the police. Some of us already have been targeted with that allegation as a result of the subpoena. We cannot hold government agencies accountable if our unpublished notes and images can be scooped up and used as evidence in criminal cases.
As the Pacific Northwest Newspaper Guild wrote in a statement, “Journalists and their work product are not the agents and tools of the police.”
“We disagree in the strongest possible terms,” the Guild continued, referring to a June court decision largely in SPD’s favor. “This move by SPD and decision by Judge Nelson Lee undermines the credibility of local journalists and puts us at risk for danger.”
We stand with the Guild, the news organizations fighting the subpoenas in court and the individual journalists who may end up in an impossible position to either betray their values of journalistic integrity or face potentially serious charges.
The ongoing court case is frightening for our counterparts at these major news organizations. But it is terrifying for us, independent journalists without the financial and legal backing of a major media corporation. If SPD is successful in this case, there is no reason to think that independent journalists won’t be targeted next.
As newsrooms across our city have shuttered or shrunk, independent outlets and freelancers have become more and more vital, watchdogging government and telling a wide variety of stories about life in Seattle. Unless some business model comes along to revitalize or build large local news organizations, independent journalists will only become more important in the future.
SPD Chief Carmen Best is the person who can most easily stop this case, and we urge her to do so. There is no piece of evidence that the police might discover in journalists’ unpublished videos, photographs, notes or audio recordings that justifies this violation of fundamental press freedoms.
We also urge Chief Best, Mayor Jenny Durkan and the City Council to create clear policies to prevent another similar case in the future. Councilmember Teresa Mosqueda has introduced Resolution 31961, which calls on police to stop arresting and harming journalists during protests and urges the City Attorney to stop supporting SPD’s subpoena. That’s a good start.
But the city should also develop legally binding policies to prevent or severely restrict police subpoenas of journalists’ unpublished work in the future. At its most basic level, journalism is a two-part process: Gather information, then choose what to publish. Both of these steps are vital, and both have faced SPD attacks in recent months.
When the state starts threatening journalists, democracy itself is threatened, too.

I am an experienced nanny and instructor, looking for a position in West Seattle for the 2020/2021 school year. I have a very friendly and well-behaved 10 year old non-bianary kiddo that I would have with me to accommodate this year’s online learning situation. Childcare/schooling can take place in your home or mine. There would also be outside play, trips to the park and beach (following Covid precautions,) enrichment projects, etc. We have kept a very small circle or contact throughout the pandemic and are looking for a family who has done the same. I have excellent local references. Please text to arrange a time to speak on the phone if your are interested. 206 383 0718
Final phase of my Big Backyard Sale. All the stuff I couldn’t put out last week due to massive amount of items. Come back and see what you missed. 7944 17th Ave SW 98206. Cross streets Holden, Kenyon and Elmgrove.
I found a small camera near Constellation Park. Based on the photos on the memory card, I believe that this belonged to a 10-12 heard old boy. Respond with some details if this may belong to you.
Posting for a reader:
“My hearing aid fell off on the Lincoln Park bluff path Friday morning roughly in the vicinity of the photo. It is very small and can be held in the palm of your hand – see photo. If you find it, please contact me at my email address nickjlicata (at) gmail.com. I’m offering a $100 finders reward if it is found and undamaged.”
As so many West Seattleites (myself included for the past 15 years until recently moving to Vashon) enjoyed taking a ferry trip over for the weekend or a day trip. Covid has certainly added to the complications of traveling for leisure and extending ferry wait times. VIGA the organization that hosts the Vashon Farmers Market, made the tough decision to keep our producers and community safer by not hosting the physical market this year. Vashon Fresh is our online farmers market that we’ve used in conjunction to the physical market for the past 5 years.
We have received a landslide of requests over the past few months to extend our distribution days or create a pick up location in West Seattle. As many of our Vashon vendors were unable to secure their off island market booths due to limited stall availability, local West Seattle customers are reaching out.
We are so pleased to be partnering with the Fauntleroy Church to offer a safe contactless pick up location for Vashon Fresh items. Everything sold on Vashon Fresh is either grown or processed on Vashon Island creating a true farm to table experience. All producers are fully licensed and insured as well as our staff ensuring our procedures for aggregation are as per CDC and local safety guidelines. Masked, gloved and 6ft away. We are opening our pick up location beginning this Saturday Aug. 8th: 2:30pm-4:00pm. Online Ordering is open, all items will be pre-order only! Please be sure to confirm your order by 11:50pm on Friday for your Saturday items….farm fresh indeed. Harvested day of pick up.

Thanks,
