So J242 did I say I was letting off fireworks as you commented, no I did not “The city already puts on a hell of a lot better fireworks show than you or any dozen people could hope to so why not appreciate it and let the rest of us get some sleep?!!?”
PS…I’m a 55 yr old man and fireworks have been going off as far back as I can remember, do I like them, no, do they keep me awake at night, yes sometimes but they’ll probably keep going off until the day I leave this earth so I can either ignore them or let my inner sole dwell on them and turn into a grumpy old man, what do you think?

[Graciano]

You could try Craigslist.

Could this be your moving box? Found in alley-side next to my driveway. Still sealed with packing tape and does not feel empty.

44th Ave SW cross street Graham.

Want to create a custom size non-wood raised garden. Was thinking about those bricks with holes in them so I could put some re bar in then when stacking for extra strength. Anyone know where to find this type of brick as I didn’t find any at the big box stores?

There is no such thing as an ‘undergrown’ laurel! As a former landscape professional, I would recommend removal. Even with constant maintenance (shearing at least twice a year) the hedge will continue to get bigger and uglier each year. The interior of the hedge will not grow foliage, so the more you cut it back, the worse it looks. It is now listed as an invasive species.

As there is no way to harm this monster, go the cheapest route you can. Anyone with a ladder, a hedge trimmer, and an eye for a straight line can do it. Don’t waste your money.

TSurly, I appreciate your answer. My worry is that once an income tax is started it will go up, up, up, and municipalities and state agencies will still charge or pass new taxes further burdening everyone. With the political makeup of Olympia I sincerely doubt there will ever be a state income tax option. Democrats control the house and senate by the slimmest of margins and Inslee can’t do anything although I bet he wishes he could.

We all know we have to pay taxes. It is our duty as citizens.
Personally I want to throw out the federal tax system and simplify it. Exemptions are great for many people but many people do not take full advantage of it. I don’t see a change in the federal tax policy other than going up and down and special interests trying to get even more exemptions. Locally the current crop of City Council members are too tax happy.

On the 50 bus heading home to Admiral from Alaska Junction when driver slammed on the brakes, me, sitting in back of the bus with 4 year olds went flying. Not one person on the bus helped me up. Grandma with 2 now crying twins. To add insult to injury, a young man with ? Younger brother (like 12) looked up from his cell phone and then back down, resting his foot on my hand ! I had to pick up his darn foot and move it !

[TSurly]

“TSurly, please enlighten me on why the state needs an income tax which is not an option for the state and municipalities.”

States without income taxes rely more heavily on sales, excise and property taxes, which fall disproportionately on moderate and low income families. Basing budgets on the backs of families who lack a stable financial footing is unsustainable in the long run, and it runs the risk of dampening consumer spending that fuels so much of our nation’s economy.

“Or do you subscribe to the Kshama Sawant view and just would never be a friend of a Republican? (Her words, not mine).”

No, my core group of oldest friends (guys I grew up with in a very conservation area of VA) are Republicans. We have heated debates, but in the end there is resolution, mainly on the fact that we agree as to how much of a disaster Trump is. The exception is one guy is this group, who I would describe as the poster child of Trump’s base. An uneducated (failed out of college), misogynistic (Jordan Peterson cultist who loves to refer to women by all kinds of nasty names), racist (openly refers to all people of color by the N word), who blames his lack of success on “Obama Policies”, minorities, and women.

I grew up in a place where fireworks were rare and were a treat when they happened. I remember the anticipation before a fireworks show where we were eagerly awaiting dark skies and the adults were carefully inspecting the ignition area and making sure everything was safe. I remember the shows were special and we reacted to the colors with oohs and ahhs.

I never imagined what happens here in Seattle these days, which has gotten absurdly out-of-hand. The rolling thunder of explosions yesterday started early and lasted very late into the night, making bedtime for my child impossible and we’re paying the price for it today. Our dog spent the night in the bathroom scared out of his mind. The heart shaking booms are ridiculous. The amount of explosions is crazy. I miss just having a good time and not spending the night worried about our dog and our sleep and our neighborhood safety.

All of you who talk about “it’s just for one night”, “it’s your responsibility to take care of your dog”, etc are so inconsiderate. Many, many, many people are asking for you to listen to your neighbors and take your absurdly rude behavior elsewhere. I want to be able to celebrate this holiday, and the New Year, and every Seahawks game without this unreasonable infringement on my right to live my life peacefully in this neighborhood. Please, just listen to your neighbors imploring for your attention and respect, we will return it in kind.

I loved fireworks when I was a kid, but I hate the 4th now. I can deal with one evening of loud noise, even though it makes me sad for all the freaked-out animals, vets and babies, and for the sheer selfishness of the people who don’t care at all about them. But last night I was still hearing them at 4 am, and I know I’ll be hearing them all weekend too. And anyone who complains is called an unpatriotic whiner just for not wanting to hear constant explosions for days, and told that it’s their responsibility to drug their animals, hose down their houses, leave the area….what, for a week? Just so a bunch of overgrown man-boys can blow stuff up.

[HMC Rich]

I am seeing that many of you also have tax and city fatigue. I am guessing that if there are some decent voting choices, there could be some changes.

TSurly, please enlighten me on why the state needs an income tax which is not an option for the state and municipalities. Or do you subscribe to the Kshama Sawant view and just would never be a friend of a Republican? (Her words, not mine). The state has a tax surplus at the moment.

And I recently heard the City of Seattle retirement funds/investment portfolios are considered among the worst managed across the country. This city can’t seem manage how they spend and invest money. I am not saying a fiscally responsible person has to be a Republican because most in this area seem to be progressives. But I am saying the current crop of politicians and many from the past have failed us. They are also failing the local government employees current, past and future.

Listen, some private sector/charitable entities ideas actually work and help people. Did you know that the United Way of King County when spending a dollar, 94 cents goes to programs and people and only 6 cents goes to administrative fees?

There is a middle ground even government can reach with the right people in place. I also believe if we can work on some of the local issues without the inflammatory rhetoric, we can get somewhere.

[angelescrest]

I am hating this. I really feel such a hatred of anyone who does this. The explosions continue, and we are all worn out and on-edge. I cannot figure out how in the world we’ve come to this…where these assholes continue on through the night, as if it’s their right, and there is nothing stopping them. Hatred is filling my soul.

[miws]

I agree with you. I’m very close (about 3 of the long city blocks) to the city limits line where they are legal to set off, during certain hours on July 4th, but they go on before and beyond that, and I know what I’m hearing is much closer.

I don’t suffer from any PTSD like many of our Veterans do, but am annoyed and at time startled by the sound, but what really affects me is the smoke. I have COPD, asthma, and congestive heart failure which all affect my breathing, and I’m really feeling it tonight. Granted, I probably left the windows open too long, but even long after closing them am feeling great discomfort in my breathing.

But, the “patriots” (hold on a sec, they need to grab another beer) don’t give a crap. I’m supposed to do something like get the hell outta town, even though I don’t have a car, (but that doesn’t matter) to get to some breathable air. (Please note that nobody has ever told me that, but I figure it must be their answer considering what they tell dog owners to do). I’m tired as hell right now, and about 1 1/2 hours past my normal bedtime, but not sure I could get to sleep. I suppose, though, I should give it a try, after putting earplugs in, and eye drops since my eyes are now burning.

[J242]

Yes, I said it… Idiots. Why do so many of our fellow citizens feel the need to harass their fellow citizens (many who are vets, many with pets, many with children) who cannot sleep or potentially end up going into a panic because of your fun at making thing go boom? Are you nothing more than selfish teenagers? How is that fair to service members, families with pets or families with kids? It’s just all about you isn’t it? Shame on you a$$#0les.

Shame on the lot of you. If you want to set off fireworks, drive just a few minutes south out of city limits where it’s actually, you know, LEGAL to do so. The lot of you should be hosed down with high PSI water cannons the moment you try to light one of your little fireworks.

The city already spends millions on a massive, spectacular fireworks event that you could never even remotely compare to so get over yourselves, respect your f’ing neighbors and knock it the f off!

Time to get SPD to earn thier operating budget in just a couple of nights. Go out and ticket these idiots setting of fireworks in city limits and fill up their coffers. I would hazard a bet that they could make their annual operating budget in just two nights (the 4th and new year’s eve) if they just did their jobs and ticketed these jerks!!!

Well, “Good for you Graciano”. Maybe you’d like to bring your cats over and spend the time it takes to get my toddler to sleep through the random booms all over the place? One person’s ILLEGAL fun shooting off bottle rockets should not be more important than the numerous vets, pets and kids out there. The city already puts on a hell of a lot better fireworks show than you or any dozen people could hope to so why not appreciate it and let the rest of us get some sleep?!!? (PS, I’m in my 30’s, I just have a 5am commute so the idiots around me piss me off. I’ve also been living in WS for almost 2 decades now so I’m not a recent transplant or anything)

In short, knock it off. Leave the fireworks to the professionals and if you’re not willing to? GTFO of Seattle city limits to set off your noise makers.

[JayDee]

Without veering into the weeds about national matters I have always wondered why justifying a property tax increase >> than inflation and then using the argument that it is merely replacing an existing tax is even plausible. The renewal of “Families and Education” levy is just that. I’ve been voting against such ludicrous tax increases just on this basis for the last 20 years (though I support the McLeary decision). ST3’s argument that my 16-year old car should be taxed as a newer car is just an example. Why is Washington nearly the most regressive state when it comes to taxes?

First the City took parks out of the budget (for some reason) and what did they spend the monies on that formerly went to the parks? I don’t know, and they didn’t say at the time. As for your neighborhood being safe or not it depends on the neighborhood.

[anonyme]

Rich, I don’t disagree with you. I consider myself an independent, but there have been no candidates for any office in recent history that I felt comfortable voting for. Both Democrats and Republicans have become extremist; it seems there is no place for moderation any more. The left has become every bit as rigid and dogmatic as the right. Far as I can tell, we have an ever growing class of protected criminals, and the rest of us just pay through the nose to support them. I would like to see several of the many millions thrown away on homelessness go to law enforcement instead. Seattle needs a major crackdown on stupidity. It’s also a shame that to express such views automatically makes you a “Nazi” guilty of “hate speech”…the conversation (if you can even call it that) has become ridiculous.

[dhg]

Here’s something I’d never thought I’d say: : I agree with HMC Rich. (although still confused by the HMC part…. Her Majesty’s Commander?) Tax collection is at an all time high and the City tells us that, not only do they need more money, but they can’t take care of basics like replacing the Magnolia bridge. One has to wonder how they managed to build one when the population was a tiny fraction of today’s and not nearly so prosperous. The City needs to take off their superwoman capes and sit down and do the hard work: review spending, create budgets and demand value for the tax dollar.

[T Rex]

HMC Rich, I think most people have gone silent regarding any politics due to the complete hate and fear that is brewing in our country. If you did not vote for Hillary, you are a racist, a Nazi, it goes on and on. Trump is being compared to Hitler for God’s sake. My mind has been blown on the disrespect our country is displaying. And I can bet I will get SLAMMED for these comments, so hide and watch!

As for our local government , I would guess that the members of the WS community may actually agree that we have GOT to get new blood in our city council. I was SHOCKED that a Socialist was actually elected and now as Seattle edges ever so closely to that side of politics, I have to say after living here for over 30 years, I will not be here much longer. The once beautiful city is now becoming filthy dirty, over crowded and way too expensive. We are an exact repeat of what happened to San Francisco. From the politics, being a sanctuary city and now the homeless problem we have. I am sad to say I don’t think there is any turning back. But we were warned weren’t we? Just look north they used to say.

However I am a proud American who will celebrate tomorrow and thank God I am an American.

[HMC Rich]

Well boys and girls. This political forum is dead it seems. Or is there no joy in the Emerald City? We had some spirited debates and disagreements in the past with respect for the most part.

Now that my property taxes have risen 43% in four years according to an article I read in the Seattle Times, I am wondering if many of you voters are not suffering in the wallet as much as I am.

Now I know McCleary made our taxes go up because of the court decision. And I know ST3 has added fees and taxes. Our city council and Mayor keep trying to add more taxes. I have to say, many of you people voted in our city leaders and may I add, it’s killing me financially.
I ask a favor. Can some of you realize that some of us can’t afford any more taxation? Can some of you realize that my neighborhood is less safe? Can some of you realize that most decisions that affect Seattle are from the people you elected and propositions you passed?

I hope in these next elections we get some candidates that understand business, budgets, and cost effective execution of spending our tax dollars. Are there any Democrats out there that can do this? Can a little fiscal responsibility compete with Social Justice causes? You have run out the Republicans in this city so there isn’t much choice. The choices usually on the ballot are prefers Democrat Party, Progressive Democrat Party, Democratic Socialist Party, and KShama Activist Socialist party. (Damn, her and her minions might try to get me for clicking LIKE on a Facebook post!)

Or is it time to reflect on the OWL party and say …. WE DON’T GIVE A HOOT.
Because it seems to me the City of Seattle has adopted the OWL double acronym. Out With Logic, On With Lunacy.

Enjoy Independence Day. And don’t blow your hand off or burn down my house while letting off illegal fireworks and scaring the poop out of my cats and dogs!
