So if they lowered the speed limit again to say 10 mph you would say that isnt ridiculous and expect everyone to keep to that even though we payed a ton of money for the privilege of driving to get us to our destination in a timely manner?
I do hate drivers on their cell phones being distracted tho,very unsafe. Whenever i see one while im driving i get so mad that i roll down my window and huck my beer can at them… Just kidding obviously

@PDiddy. Your first sentence proves the OP’s point. You don’t get to drive as fast as you want just because you don’t like the speed limit. I’ve lost count of the number of times I’ve nearly been hit by a careless driver. This includes crossing the street when I have the walk-sign. The fact is that drivers ignore the traffic AND parking laws they don’t like. I agree with OP, we need consistent and equal enforcement of traffic and parking laws and we need it immediately.

Thank you kind stranger, for leaving me a gift of your dog’s poop on the sidewalk in front of my house, perfectly placed so that I’d step in it when I took out the trash.

Your generosity gave me the opportunity to have to clean the sidewalk so the guests we have coming over later today wouldn’t have the same experience that l I did. And instead of having to be in the kitchen cooking with my wife, you allowed me to be outside for a half an hour scraping and scrubbing and smelling the aroma of whatever your dog didn’t quite digest.

So my new year’s wish for you, kind stranger, is that every time you walk your dog you trip and fall; that some other kind stranger leaves you a treasure similar to what you left me on a weekly basis (hopefully bigger and smellier); and that at some point your dog realizes what kind of person you really are, bites you on the leg, runs away, and is adopted by someone that will clean up after them.

Some jerk likes to drive through my neighborhood revving the engine to the max. Does it a few times, both day and night. I’m assuming this person must live around here.

I see your points but I like many hate the 25 speed limits. This would not happen if we had stuck to 35. All it did was create frustration and anger. And to be fair often pedestrians can be to blame too or bikes that blow through lights etc. I dont dismiss your concerns i too live by Delridge but it feels to me that all the blame is on drivers who are often very considerate and dont do what you describe. Take a fair look at all the parts in this equation. I do agree the streets are poorly designed but we need to be honest that some streets just cannot be fixed because of how they are laid out. I would like to see more emphasis on sidewalks with attached bike paths instead of trying to stick one on a busy street at the cost of all the parking. I am thinking more like in the Netherlands. Near me both 21st ave sw and 18th ave sw could accomodate sidewalks on both sides but in the case of 21st they put up barriers calling it a safe street which is stupid. It needs sidewalks. Dont even get me started on 23rd with mailboxes and recycle containers in the middle of the sidewalk…

[concernedcommoner]

We have become a complacent city, waiting for the worst to happen before taking action. What has happened to proactiveness and innovation regarding our growing population and lack of proper infrastructure to handle it?

I’m referring to streets that are still too unfriendly to bikers and pedestrians alike. The new Delridge? It’s another speeder’s haven, with plenty of ways to bypass those they feel are slow (even when those people are just following the limits set). I see it every single day walking my pup, people going 45+ in the bus lane to pass, people riding up on others, coming within inches, and distracted drivers on their cell phones cruising, unaware. What’s the point of setting a speed limit of 25 and having distracted driving laws if the police, buses and other vehicles are all allowed to go unchecked with their reckless behavior?

It’s not just Delridge, it’s within our neighborhoods, near our parks and schools. Every single day I walk the area (or even when I drive it), I’m faced with having to dodge these unsafe drivers and it’s now at a point that I call the police instantly to report. This past summer, I reached out to the city because the Delridge Playfield area, on all sides, have these reckless drivers blowing through intersections/stop signs/crosswalks, jumping over the “speed bumps” (if you’d call them that) and Genessee has numerous cars coming down the hill well over 40MPH with very few recognizing that there’s a park and crosswalks (even though there’s clear signage). The city’s response? “No mitigation is needed in this area, all work has been completed.” Not even a week after that, I witnessed a pedestrian get hit at the corner of Genessee and Delridge. Reached back out to the city with this info and was never given a response.

I do understand that the police have a lot on their plates and can’t catch every single person, but I have yet to see anyone pulled over in the 3-mile radius I walk. Instead, I see complacency, especially when I witness police cars going just as fast through these areas. The most recent biker to get killed by a hit-and-run driver is yet another instance that has encouraged me to speak up because it could be me, my dog, a friend or a neighbor who is the next victim in this vicious recurrence.

It is beyond frustrating to walk these streets and feel scared that I have a very real chance of being taken out by one of these reckless drivers. Just today and the second time this week, a person going well over 40MPH approached an intersection myself and my pup were already in, and nearly hit us. Their response was to flip me off and attempt to speed away. Unaware that I had gotten their plate and then saw that they went around the block again, I immediately called 911 with the description and plate #. While on the phone, she decided to confront me and ironically made it clear she wasn’t paying attention and did not see us in the intersection (obviously, as she nearly hit us and a car that was also joining the roundabout). She attempted to pit blame on me, for walking too fast in the crosswalk. WHAT? Have to roll my eyes to that.

The reason I am on here is because I am a truly concerned commoner, who loves this city and doesn’t want to keep seeing stories of complacency, usually headlined with the death of a fellow citizen who should be able to safely walk/bike our streets/neighborhoods.

What needs to change first is simple, consistent patrols AND accountability being shown to the public by pulling them over and citing them. Post the numbers of people pulled over for speeding at an intersection, skipping a stop sign or not stopping for a pedestrian/biker. Show that this behavior is not ok.

Next is a change in how we design streets. Why do we say we’re changing something to the benefit of peds/bikers, when streets like Delridge, Flauntleroy and others are insanely unsafe, even with the changes they’ve made. Speed cameras are an expensive option but one that could generate not only a revenue stream but more importantly, accountability to those breaking the laws of the road in areas the police cannot constantly be at. The speed bumps installed should actually slow people down to the recommended speed, rather than just providing a minor obstacle that usually does nothing to slow them down. Crosswalks on these major arterials should have crossing lights to allow people to notify drivers to stop (I NEVER cross Delridge unless I’m at a protected light because it is rare that anyone is going slow enough to stop for those waiting to cross).

Lastly, is education. Consistently provide info to residents so they know the rules, clearly and can be held accountable easily if they break those rules. Require that everyone pass a written test every 3 years and if they don’t, then they now must partake in a class. Make it difficult for those with multiple instances of reckless behavior to have or maintain a license.

We can’t continue complacency when it comes to people being able to live in safe environments without the dangers of those behind the wheel of vehicles. Being a proactive city means cutting back on deaths/injuries amongst pedestrians and bikers, and some of these ideas are ways to change that.

If you are not a biker/pedestrian, understand that you are behind something that is 100% controlled by YOU. Those walking or biking should absolutely be equally aware of their surroundings but know that your vehicle is capable of hurting/killing someone, not the other way around. The best thing each of us can do is tell our friends and family to slow down, speeding is not going to get them anywhere that much quicker statistically and IF something bad were to happen due to the reckless behavior, they’ve now just ruined someone else’s life and slowed themselves down even more.

We need to come together as not just West Seattle, but Seattle residents as a whole to find the better, more proactive approach to keeping everyone safe on our streets and within our neighborhoods.

Here’s to a safer 2024,

Big Bling. I hear them on Alki. Love their sound. But, as stated before the when/where/how long train whistles blow are regulated under federal law. If you, or anyone else has issues you’ll have to take them up with your congressional representative. It will require a congressional vote to change. 937. AMR’s sirens really are loud and annoying!

[Big Bling]

Anyone else notice how the trains have been extra noisy in the nights lately. Lot’s of loud whistle’s, or whatever they are called. But living in Admiral area they are louder than normal.

Also, this a.m. Nucor was very loud with dropping steel sounds, around 6:00 a.m.

Noisy ? I thought this was the silent night time of year :)

This is a community board for “Something West Seattle-related on your mind?”
What does your religious beliefs have to do with West Seattle?

Jesus said: And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites. For they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by men. But when you pray, go into your inner room, shut your door, and pray to your Father, who is unseen. And your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. And when you pray, do not babble on like pagans, for they think that by their many words they will be heard.…

I have two pretty decent tennis racquets, a can of balls and two good condition camp chairs that fold up into their own carrying bag. Free to whomever would like to pick them up on my porch. Im happy to send photos if you like.

The benefits like health insurance, predictable hours, and even a sparkling wine subscription for happy hours make it quite appealing.

[Shadowtripper]

Has anyone (including the Seattle Department of Transportation) noticed that the elevated roadway is crumbling. Rebar visible, cracks widening, multiple holes that don’t hold a patch. It will require months of shutting down eastbound lanes once the City decides it’s unsafe. That leaves West Marginal with one lane the only thoroughfare to 1st south bridge and on to I-5. It’s not like it just happened it was happening during the bridge repair that closed the highway for months. Seems the City could have fixed both while traffic was diverted?

I really wanted to like The Lodge when it first opened. We tried it three or four times and gave enough time for the staff to overcome problems associated with starting up. Loved the concept and the thought behind it but never found the right balance of quality and price for the food offerings and we had a few minor service-related incidents. It just never became part of the “let’s meet here” rotation despite really wanting to like it. It never rose to a level to replace Rocksport.

Thank you for providing us with the great reporting and keeping our community informed. Happy Holidays to all of you and best wishes for health and happiness into the New Year! We appreciate you and all you do.

They might be waiting to make a formal hate crime report with the police. I doubt Key Bank is happy with the graffiti. Hate speech is unacceptable anywhere.

[937]

Not a real great look on the Key Bank side facing California.

Disgusting hate does not belong here in west Seattle, the state of Washington, the United States or the world.

I am very surprised this has not been brought up.

Pathetic.

Alkistu, I don’t know how old you are. I am 70 yo and grew up in a small town and moved to Seattle in 1963. And I have no idea what you are talking about. Christmas has always been a family holiday. The Christmas you are describing exists only in old movies.
