Topic: DACA Scholarship Assistance
Through a partnership with the City of Seattle Office of Immigrant & Refugee Affairs (OIRA) and Facebook, El Centro de la Raza will administer DACA scholarship funds on a first-come first-serve basis until funds run out. Successful DACA scholarship grantees will receive a check made out to the Department of Homeland Security to submit with their DACA renewal application.
Scholarship funds are available to individuals who:
Have or previously had DACA status AND
Have a completed DACA renewal application AND
Who reside in Seattle or work in Seattle or go to school in Seattle.There is no minimum or maximum income requirement.
While USCIS recommends filing for renewal between 150 and 120 days from when your DACA expires, requests received earlier than 150 days and up to 365 days in advance are currently being accepted.

We could see two converging events coming from a long ways off. Every year on March 24th my wife celebrates her birthday. It’s really the entire month of March but we’ll narrow down the celebration to one day for discussion purposes. The other event, that, thank heavens, is not a regular occurrence is the closure of restaurants, bars, events and everyday life that we’re currently experiencing. Seeing these two events converge gave a little time to plan. As we learned of our local restaurant closures (through the West Seattle Blog) Jules made an important decision. Support local and order food to go for her special day. She thought and planned and planned and thought and decided on a combination of savory and sweet pies from A la Mode in the Alaska Junction. That’s all she wanted for birthday dinner. Period. It was settled.
Fast forward to March 23rd. A quick call to A la Mode to make sure we’d be able to place our order and there is no way to place an order through the website. Shortly, a notification was posted on their website sharing that, in the interest of the health and safety of both customers and employees, they made the difficult decision to temporarily close. NOOOOO! Luckily there was a contact e-mail address and a brief description of our dilemma was entered into the form with little hope that anything would happen. Imagine our excitement when Chris responded and indicated he might be able to help! How awesome is that? Chris (wearing gloves) met me at the curb (practicing safe social distancing) and hand delivered a bag of beautiful pies! We get to support a local business and that same business went out of their way to make this virtual and quarantined birthday very special for my incredible wife and partner. Happy double nickels Jules!
Huge rave for Chris at A la Mode for saving the day! Thank you!
Right now the idea of approving $30 car tabs would be a good thing to do.
While the Federal Government is writing what seems like blank check to business.
Has someone forgotten about the $30 car tab debate stuck in Olympia?Inslee be nice to your neighbor, help a poor family, approve the $30 car tab initiative 976
P.S. and expired electic car tax incentives too.
West Seattle Residents effected by the closure of the West Seattle Bridge, should get a free “GOOD TO GO PASS) to use the Tunnel.
The detour over the 1st. ave. bridge will cause traffic problems on 35th. ave. and on SW Roxbury street. sdot should review this route detour.NOTE> (oct.22 in the politics section, I posted that the West Seattle High Rise bridge was cracked)
On Oct. 22 I posted about the cracked west Seattle bridge, in the politic section, not one comment concerning the bridge was received. I took telephoto photos of the cracks and sent them to the city road crew, who said they were aware of it, So I guess the major was aware of it too.
Well couldn’t be a better time to fix the bridge then now. Imagine if we had a earthquake. Hopefully Federal Funding will be available during these tough times.
The Roxbury route to the 1st. ave. bridge will need special attention with traffic signals and other limiting ideas to keep all the west Seattle traffic moving downtown.
One improvement that I can think of at this moment is the Safeway store has a exit lane onto SW Roxbury street, that lane should be a right turn only, no left turn, there is no light. Similar problem at west end of parking lot.
One other item is all west Seattle residents should get free “good to go passes” for the Tunnel. More on this later.
I am enjoying my time at home.Brookdale West Seattle is serving cold meals to residents.
After a week of cold meals, one nurse suggested that they heat it up in the microwave.
No one in this facility has been tested as no one has shown any problems.
The staff and help are not tested, even thought they often work at 2 different Assisted living centers.
The help is underpaid and overworked.
Cold meals are not on the menu.I bet Snake Inslee is eating like a king.
We better get our sunglasses ready, that guy thinks he’s a Savior.
Thanks for closing down the parks today, I could hardly find a empty seat.
Inslee, don’t wait for the federal Government to take action. Your slow response to Kirkland’s issue has taken a toll.For those that would rather sit this one out this is an opportunity you’ve been waiting for. Some might have underlying conditions while others would rather be on the safe side. Seeking several other individuals that would like to rent a large house outside of Seattle in a rural setting. We live there for a couple of months to over a year until conditions are safe again. We would basically be secluding ourselves as a group., for our own safety and peace of mind. We have tight procedures for leaving our community house if we need to do an occasion (bulk shopping) food run but the intention is not to leave as much as possible. For those that need to leave they would need to do a 2-week quarantine when they get back for everyone’s safety.
Being that this would be a safe space that means we can be social and relax about being social and being in close contact with each other, we can hug, touch and be ourselves without the worry of the worst. Peace of mind and sanity.
At the worst it will be a group of people tightly living together, at the best we’ll make it through with peace of mind along the way. How I see it this would be a good situation either way
I made a simple web page with more info if anyone is interested:
https://sites.google.com/view/social-distancing-house/homeWest Seattle Neighbors, I am a Medical Microbiologist and West Seattle mom of two kids; a 10-year-old and 14-year-old. I was recruited to perform CORVID-19 testing at the University of Washington Medical Center in the Crisis Response Lab. The lab will be testing 24/7 and I will very likely be working some evening and night hours. I am a single mother and I can’t leave my kids home alone at night to be at the lab. For the next 13 weeks, are there any West Seattle families who would be willing to be with my children for occasional overnights so I know they are safe and taken care of while I work to hasten the end of the pandemic?
*Please note: I would not normally consider asking for help caring for my children but these are extraordinary circumstances for all of us.
Brookdale West Seattle Assisted Living is LOCKED….
We can not get in to visit,,,that’s OK, we call every day.
But we question if someone has tested positive there.
But we can not get that information.
Has the workers been tested?
We have the right to know.
Is someone positive at the facility?
We just can not get these questions from Brookdale.
The Elderly should be tested at all facility’s before tests given out to drive=in public, who beg their doctors for notes.I’m a certified holistic health coach and would like to offer my expertise to our community during this difficult time.

lindseyn.hayes@gmail.comTopic: Mask shortages at Harborview
Mask shortages have reduced supervisors at Harborview Medical Center to having Food Service 1 & 2 personnel work their kitchen shifts without masks.
Food Service workers participate mostly in the cleaning of kitchen equipment and utensils for subsequent preparation and delivery of meals, and clean all the used patient tableware. My wife returned home Sunday, 03/16/20, and informed me that they couldn’t provide her and all of her co-workers that fundamental PPE, which helps protect the patients, themselves, and each other, presumably until supply again exceeds room service and medical personnel consumption.
After Dow Constantine stated that we should universally regard ourselves and everyone else as infected with COVID-19, I find this troubling.Topic: Free Parking
