I know this is a long shot but I’m heartbroken over this. I lost a gold band today at the West Seattle little league jamboree. I’m hoping someone found it. It was one of the last things I have of my mom’s.

Hoping to find a regular handyman for a series of projects around the house. It has to be someone who’s comfortable working along me and my hubby. First needs are next week on Thursday and Friday, the 19th and 20th – helping hubby move furniture downstairs (dressers, nightstands, mattress, and bed) and then starting demo of our upstairs (large bedroom, small bedroom, hall, tiny bathroom, partial chimney stack). Once we find the right person, there will be many other days of work as the house is going to be a nearly total gut job, broken up into phases and then built back again. Hubby can handle the electrical, but we’d love a hand with framing, drywall, and many other things.
This house is from 1917. Who knows what we’ll find when we tear it apart? There’s no insulation in the walls, some old knob and tube upstairs, literally no idea what else we’ll find.
We value knowledge, flexibility, and patience.
Please email me to reply: shopattack@pm.me – Thanks! Christy
Topic: Shouldering assault
My neighbor was shouldered after getting off the bus on at the delridge station. The perpetrator walked towards him in a purposefully diagonal route, proceeded to shoulder him, stunning him. At least a younger teen called out the perpetrator as he fled onto the bus.
Based on recent social media posts, shouldering assaults have occurred in Japan to young women not aware of their surroundings (distracted by their phone), allegedly by disgruntled men usually in crowded areas where the perpetrators can easily flee afterwards.
Lately, there seems to be more panhandlers throughout west seattle junctions. It’s concerning that petty crimes may occurring more often in west seattle.
Please be aware and be safe.
Looking for someone who could prune a very large fig tree. I know I could look for an arborist but curious if there is a fig tree owner who knows how to prune these trees.
