Topic: Where are the Efesis lovers?
I know Efesis took a hit when new owners changed it to Greek, and not very good Greek at that.
The good news is Hasan, who owns the building, is back at the helm.
We have gone several times and loved it.
And we have been one of just a couple of tables!
We went on a Friday night and there were only two other tables!
So, please if you liked Efesis in the past, give it a try, you won’t be disappointed. Support our local businesses.I find that I’m not drinking as much wine anymore so I am trying to find a home for some unopened 3-packs of Cayuse and Horsepower wine. All were direct allocations from the respective vineyards and have been cellared and carefully handled since delivery.
I’ve looked into some online consignment possibilities but with all of the fees and shipping logistics those options don’t seem so appealing. So I thought I might start locally. If anyone is interested just let me know and I’m happy to send along a list of what’s available.
Note: These are all $70+ bottles so serious inquiries only. And I will be securing an accommodation sale license from Olympia so that everything is above board.

Topic: Housekeeper in Highland Park
We’re a family of four looking for a part-time housekeeper in Highland Park. For the past few years we’ve been lucky to have the services of an awesome neighbor who we met through WSB, and we’re hoping lightning can strike twice! We prefer another awesome individual versus a cleaning service.

– Occasional deeper cleaning tasks like wiping cabinets and baseboards, cleaning appliances, bathrooms and the kitchen deeper cleans, etc

– What appeals to you about the job, what caught your eye
– Your favorite lunch spot in/near West SeattleHi all,
My lease is up and I’ll be moving at the end of October. Combing through and refreshing 10 websites per day is as demoralizing and exhausting as it sounds, so I’m trying my luck here.
I’m in my mid 30s, work in education, and have good credit and references. My needs are basically quiet, LGBTQ friendly, non-smokers, and everyone pays the rent on time. Hoping for the Delridge/Riverview area, but anything close to the 128 line will work.
I’d love to connect with anyone who is seeking a house share. Are you looking for a punctual, responsible roommate? Know someone who is? Let’s talk!

Topic: “He’s a nice dog”
Control your dogs! I was attacked by a “nice dog” yesterday. The nice dog bit through my pants and a knee brace leaving me with deep puncture wounds and a huge bruise. There was no warning that this nice dog was going to bite despite the owner telling me (afterwards) that the nice dog has a history of bitting people near doorways. I was leaving my building and moved aside to let the owner and the dog in. That’s when I got bit. Holding the door to let this neighbor and his dogs in. Again, no warning that this dog is scared of doorways and will bite people in doorways. I would have happily backed away had I known.
S
ummer’s over and it’s time to clean up your garden and yard. Yard waste and/or kitchen scraps can be composted into living soil ready for next year. The key is using red wiggler worms, mushroom mycelium, and beneficial microorganisms.
How? I’ve been composting for years and can share a compost starter much like sourdough or kombucha. Imagine a 32 ounce takeout container full of mature compost to jumpstart your compost bin or pile.
All of this and your questions answered too for only $20.
