Are you starting a new compost pile or compost bin? Need to jumpstart your existing composting efforts? You need red wiggler worms (Eisenia fetida). They eat your kitchen scraps and yard waste creating rich soil as they do.
For only $10 you get more than enough worms including beneficial microorganisms and mushroom mycelium. The perfect mix.This is like getting a mature sourdough starter or kombucha SCOBY.

Hello! My name is Thea Pulido and I could be your new housesitter/pet-watcher! I was born and raised in West Seattle, and am recently back in the area after completing my master’s degree at NYU. I have quite a bit of experience, dating back to high school caring for all sorts of pets and households. I have cared for any pet between high maintenance purebreds to low maintenance kitties who are just looking for someone to cuddle with overnight. I have been known to water plants, look out for mail/packages and take out trash/recycling. My typical rates start at $50/day and depend on factors such as number of pets and length of stay. Please reach out to me via text at 206-418-9099 or email at theapulido21@gmail.com!

Topic: Speeding cars on SW Genesse
I’m sorry to be a complainer, but has anyone else observed how people, particularly during morning and evening rush hour, are treating the portion of SW Genesee between Delridge Way and Avalon as their personal racetrack? I’m not so lame that I would sit there with a radar gun to prove my point, but I have eyes and can judge speed as well as the next guy, and can tell the difference between 25mph and 45mph. This wouldn’t be too serious except the north side of the street is all residential, including the 30th Ave SW bus stops for the 50. I’ve had to dodge people who were both speeding and felt no obligation to stop for people getting off the bus, and have seen others having to do the same. There’s no protected crosswalk there(just the pedestrian ramps) and no real way to safely get across the street to access to depart the bus stops. Anyone else having this experience?
