Hi – just checking to be sure you are dealing with the right bill and the right department – Seattle City Light is the electric utility, Seattle Public Utilities bills (which are more commonly in triple digits) are for water, sewer, and trash. If you meant SCL, I too would question your baseline bills – we have a slightly larger old house just south of Gatewood and ours barely hit triple digits the one year we had a ridiculous amount of old-fashioned (pre-LED) Christmas lights.

Have you already gone through all the dispute steps outlined here?

Was your bill from Jan/Feb designated as an estimate? I doubt it since the SPU rep didn’t even mention it but you never know. What’s even worse is that I thought winter rates were higher than summer so you have to pay higher KLW rates. I only mention the estimate because when I moved into an apartment a few years ago (from one unit in the building to another upstairs), my electric bill quadrupled. Turns out they were estimating it on the prior year with the prior tenant, who apparently left the heat on 24/7 unlike me. I had to pay that bill and then got a credit for almost the rest of the year but paid the higher winter rates. Lovely. If yours is not an estimate issue, I don’t have much more advice except good luck. That sounds like a huge mistake on their part and I do hope it’s researched further on SPU’s end to help you out!

I would question if your “normal” bills are even accurate at $250-300 per billing cycle. I have more square footage than you and my electric bill ranges between $40 and $80 (per two-month billing cycle). One big difference may be that I have a gas furnace, so I’m not using electricity for heat, but I use window A/C’s in the summer and my electric bills still aren’t as high as yours.

I second Ponderosa’s suggestion that someone else may have tapped into your power supply.

[Ponderosa]

We have 800sq ft., sort of insulated, old baseboard electric heat house nearby. We have reached over $300 for those winter months (60-ish days in the cycle), and our recent bill was around $180.

Could there possibly be construction going on nearby your property? I have no idea if this was a possibility, but maybe someone is using your power supply? Or if there is new construction, the billing could have been set up wrong?

Good luck, I have never had a pleasant experience dealing with SPU regarding billing issues (though none have been this big of an error!)

[anonyme]

I agree – this sounds like a horrible idea, and would make single family neighborhoods not only obsolete- but unlivable. It would mean increased traffic, transient populations, more ‘vacation’ rentals, worsening parking, and the elimination of any privacy. Bad, bad, bad. Sounds like just one more gift to developers.

I am looking to hire a contractor for building a wall in my office. No electrical or plumbing involved. I am located in West Seattle and am happy to send pictures/measurements for the bid.

[Barry2012]

Hi All,

I’m reaching out here as I’m seeing dead ends everywhere I turn. We have a 900 sq ft house in Gatewood. Average electric bill has been $250-300.00 from SPU. We just got hit with a $900 bill for Jan/February. I’ve been told over the phone that we used over 7,000 KLW in electricity, the guy on the phone said we would have to have been powering major machinery 24 hours a day 7 days a week to do that kind of the power. Now the bill is normal again but carrying over a the $900 balance. I’m at a loss because SPU admits its crazy high and not right but they’ve performed an audit and nothing seems to be coming of it….

anyone else deal with this? suggestions? we are racking our brain but this is impossible that we used that much electricity…. thanks!

Left turns by vehicles are not permitted:

This may have already been spread on the original story during viadoom II but I just got an email from the city and wanted to share just in case it had not been answered.

Greetings:

Thank you for writing to the Seattle Department of Transportation (SDOT) regarding your traffic suggestions. We value the contribution that residents bring to transportation issues.

Vehicles are not permitted to make a left turn from Manning St. to Avalon. We had someone do a quick review and the signs appear to be adequate but the pavement markings did seem faded. We are going to look deeper at what little changes we can make to help alleviate these turning movements. We also gave the Channelization group (paint on the street) this location as a reinstallation request for this year weather permitting.

If you need further assistance please feel free to contact our office directly at neighborhood.traffic@seattle.gov or (206) 684-7583.

Sincerely,

Gretchen Conrad

Um, yeah. I don’t mind people having dashcams or a passenger filming, but you are clearly using your camera while you are driving. You’re as bad as the rest of them.

More about Pecos Pit Bar-B-Que:
Pecos Pit Bar-B-Que Restaurants trace their roots to 1980 when Ron & Debra Wise opened Pecos Pit Bar-B-Que in Seattle, WA on 1st Avenue South. They served two essential ingredients to their customers, warm welcomes and smoked meats. Their delicious alder smoked, slow roasted beef and pork soon became legendary. Their habit-forming slow cooked sandwiches with piles of meat and an addicting sauce became wildly acclaimed. The sauce alone was a real point of distinction, separating those who stood in line by how daring they would be. “Mild” for those sanely enjoying the meat, “Medium”, which to most is adventurously hot, and “Hot” for those who don’t mind their hair on fire. Three heats, only one sauce. It became known as “The Only Sauce”. Pecos Pit humbly began in an old open-air gas station—stand in line in rain or shine or don’t bother. And line up they did. Devoted men and women in everything from hard hats to suits have come for years to get their Pecos fix. This humble beginning started a Northwest born obsession for barbeque that Seattleites have never gotten over, nor have those who visited.

What’s Next?
So now after 36 years of having a single Pecos Pit Bar-B-Que location, Ron and Debra Wise have teamed up with Gerry Kingen to share their iconic Seattle jewel with the rest of the world, starting with West Seattle this coming spring It will open at the corner of 35th Ave SW and Fauntleroy Way SW in the former Yasuko’s Teriyaki location, across from Taco Time. The West Seattle location will feature indoor seating, and an outdoor deck as well as a handy drive through. The new Pecos locations will serve the same famous Pecos Pit BBQ found on 1st Avenue for decades, along with some new habit forming options. Offerings include our traditional pork, beef, and chicken sandwiches in a decidedly sloppy style, plus beef brisket, and hot links, with prices ranging from $7.75 to $9.50. You can add hot links; just say “spike it”, as well as bleu cheese, sharp cheddar, smoked bacon, cole slaw, pickles, extras sauce and onions. New variations include stuffed smoked potatoes (sweet or russet) for around $8, and a “Walkabouts Bowl” filled with the meat of your choice plus cheese, cold slaw and sauce. We serve healthy salads made with your choice of smoked meat, or have it veggie style, with baby kale, olives, tomatoes, cowboy caviar, cheddar cheese, and blue cheese or ranch dressing.

You can even buy bulk, smoked meats including Pecos pork, beef brisket, turkey legs, and smoked chicken ranging from $7.95 to $14.95 per pound. Word has it that the rum runners are hard at work vying for moonshine and libation offerings. Stand by for whispers on this one.

Kingen is planning on opening a number of company owned locations locally and will expand nationally to share our delicious Pecos Pit Bar-B-Que with hungry customers across the country.

Today I learned that that extra space on the freeway at each exit is called a gore point.

You don’t need to drive to record these problems. Have a seat at the bench at Cactus on Alki and record the 4 way stop. For MOST people, it’s a slight slow down. For many it’s not even that.

I am with you, seattle scofflaws, with wishing people would be more considerate of others and obey the traffic laws. But it ain’t gonna happen. The city spent a ridiculous $200K to paint the red marks on the WS bridge. It was an absolute waste of money.

The ordinance proposal “to remove barriers to the creation of backyard cottages…” (Municipal codes Sections 23.04.041, 23.44.041, and 23.84A.032) deserves a thorough media exposure. It entails the destruction of single family zoning. It will allow BOTH attached dwelling units AND detached dwelling units plus the existing single family home on the same single lot. It eliminates any requirement for off street parking. It, in fact, turns every single family zoned lot into a lot zoned for a triplex with no off street parking, even in non-transit areas. It also reduces the owner occupancy requirement to only the first year after the units are added and no longer requires a 50% ownership. This would allow developers to make one tenant a .00001 % owner for a year, immediately converting it to defacto all rental housing, and permanently rental with no owner occupant after that. This is exactly what the Mayor said was off the table.
The city is attempting to hide this in what they make sound like a simple noncontroversial policy change to help with creating what used to be thought of as mother in law units. These changes are a complete give away to the developers and the end of true single family zoning in all areas of Seattle.

No need to hire someone, any good nursery has friendly capable staff that will walk around with you. Personally I’m a fan of City Peoples Garden Center in Madison Valley, Sky Nursery in Shoreline, and Swansons in Ballard. Not a fan of WS Nursery (just my opinion folks). And don’t avoid Sky Nursery because of the distance, its amazing with tons of helpful staff.

You can also take some great beginning gardening classes through Seattle Tilth and the Master Gardener program.

Trial and error is part of gardening, embrace it!

This is a great recliner…I’m downsizing/simplifying, and it just takes up too much room. I don’t use it…is here because I needed it to recover from multiple surgeries. It reclines, and it can help stand you up ( a friend said it was like levitating – lol.) Works great. Also has a side pocket for books, glasses, magazines, the electric controller, which is attached.. When I used it I would put sheets on it…cover up with sheet and blanket…good for sleeping. I’m in the Admiral District near Safeway. It’s heavy…definitely a two person job moving it, as I am on the second floor, no elevator, and I can’t help…disabled here. Need it gone ASAP. Prefer cash, but I do have capabilities for CC.debit card (sole proprietor of home business). No checks. contact me at mmfeelgood@gmail dot com

am having difficulty posting pictures…it’s an oh, so lovely, neutral beige in color…email me and I’ll send pics to you. Thanks :)

Agreed w birdrescuer….very hack-ish. Does not seem to be able to complete simple tasks without assistance. Seems to bank on the “novelty” of a woman “handyman”.
Not knowledgable, borderline incompetent. Especially @ $85/hr.
Look elsewhere or at least for other recs.
