Hey Westies,
Just wanted to shout out a Happy Birthday to a wonderful neighbor that turns 100 years young today. She has lived in our neighborhood for over 60yrs, still active in her garden and sharp as any tool in the shed.
Happy Birthday, Gwen!

Car tabs have gotten very expensive with all the BS fee’s and RTA tax..
The police can no longer pull you over for expired tabs as a primary offense.
The ticket if you get one, is still less then the tab itself..
The people of the state voted for $30 tabs.., but the emperor Jay cried foul.

[2 Much Whine]

It bothers me as well but in the grand scheme of things there is a certain (small) percentage of people that don’t do their part and think the government is out to get them. Do you want to fall in the bucket of scofflaws or in the bucket of tax-paying citizens that are part of the solution and not part of the problem? Personal choice.

Finding a reliable property management firm is crucial when dealing with challenging tenants or if you simply want to ease the management of your property.
I recommend checking out the services offered by reputable real estate management companies like Ramfeld. They have a track record of assisting property owners in various aspects of management, including tenant-related issues.
When seeking assistance with a difficult tenant, it’s essential to choose a property management firm like https://ramfeld.com/property-management/ with experience in handling such situations. They can help you navigate the legal and administrative aspects of tenant removal.

[Big Bling]

Just drove thru a stretch from end of WS Bridge (35th & Fauntleroy) up to Trader Joe’s.

Saw at least 2 cars with WAY expired license car tabs. One was 2 years old, one was about a year old.

Trying to understand why I pay mine each year for fear of ticket & being a tax paying citizen and this tiny example of what is more than likely a wider spread issue. What gives ???

People, pay your car tabs or give me some reasons why not. Cause I feel foolish for paying mine all these years if you know something I don’t.

Enjoy working in the food industry but tired of working in restaurants?
Come work at Ritrovo!

We are an award-winning importer and wholesaler of high-end Italian specialty food. We ship all over the US and to Canada.

We are looking for either two part-time people, or one full-time person, to add to our small team to work in one or both of the following positions.

Front Office:

The front office is where the phones are answered, orders are written, and the daily warehouse flow is scheduled. We communicate with our distributors, wholesalers, and brokers via phone, email, and even Fax! There are several clerical tasks associated with this position, including maintaining inventory information for the online sales platform FAIRE, creating sales reports, creating sales materials, assisting in planning sales events, and so on. The front office also coordinates and staffs trade shows and demos (when conditions allow). This job requires polite customer service skills, accurate English language communication skills, attention to detail, and good organizational skills. Knowledge of QuickBooks, Excel, Google Drive, Dropbox, and Outlook a plus.

Warehouse:

The warehouse is where inbound containers are received, bailed, and product is organized. Orders are then pulled, packed, and shipped out. We pack boxes to ship via UPS, and we stack and wrap pallets to ship LTL. This job requires attention to detail and a strong safety mindset. You must also be able to lift 30 lbs. regularly, and up to 80 lbs. occasionally. The warehouse crew is on their feet most of the day on a concrete floor. Knowledge of shipping software and QuickBooks is a plus. Forklift skills would also be helpful.

Some Benefits of Working at Ritrovo:

Health Insurance: Employees working at least 26 hours per week qualify for Medical, Dental, and Vision coverage after 60 days. The employee contribution is $50 a month.

Predictable hours: We operate 9-5, Monday through Friday. The part-time front office job would be roughly 1-5, M-F. The part-time warehouse job could be adjusted to either mornings or specific days of the week. If one person wanted to do both, they would likely be in the warehouse for the first half of the day, and then catching the phones and emails and doing front office stuff for the second half of the day.

Sampling Allowance: We ask that employees take our products home to test in their own kitchens. This improves employee product knowledge.

Semi-regular happy hour at the end of the day on Friday.

Convenient location: We are located near the 1st Avenue S bridge. There is a bus stop about ½ mile away. DO NOT APPLY IN PERSON!

Wages:

Wages vary depending on experience, combination of positions, and whether you choose to participate in the health insurance plan. Starting hourly wage range is $17.25 – 18.50 with health insurance. Without health insurance, the current Seattle minimum wage applies (currently $19.97/hour).

If this sounds like the job—or combination of jobs–for you, please email an introductory letter with a resume attached to:

WSTL has more than 1,000 Members

Passion for DIY projects, tools, and serving community Members

Stories from WSTL Members

The following stories were submitted by WSTL Members for a 2023 grant proposal:

“WSTL is a pillar for our community, providing not only the tools, but sharing the
knowledge necessary to complete the tasks.”

“Sharing tools with neighbors helps me feel like I’m in a supportive community where people care about one another and where we do things together.”

“The first 6 months of being homeowners we were fortunate to have utilized the tool library at least every other week. The staff were so helpful, friendly and we were able to meet neighbors during drop-off and pick-up. This is one of the best resources West Seattle has to offer to its community.”

“Some of the first friendly faces I met in West Seattle were at the tool library! As a brown woman folks often do not expect me to be able to fix things around the house myself. The volunteers at the tool library treated me with respect. Successfully executing these house projects gave me a lot of confidence in my own abilities and pride in my home which allowed me to be a more engaged neighbor.”

“I love the WSTL so much. It teaches repair, it makes woodworking and building accessible to a much wider group. …WSTL also aims to inspire people to participate in community projects such as park restorations and pursue sustainability through fun projects like backyard gardens, home energy improvements, water harvesting, and other environmental projects.”

“In our family, WSTL has been an invaluable resource. When we bought our house, it needed many repairs, but hiring professional contractors would have stretched our budget too thin. Instead, we turned to WSTL, where we were able to borrow all the tools we needed, from power drills to ladders. Furthermore, WSTL’s workshops and educational resources empowered us to tackle these repairs ourselves, helping us to save a significant amount of money while also gaining new skills.”

Candidate Process:

Visit the WSTL website: wstools.org

Visit the WSTL facilities (4408 DELRIDGE WAY SW, SEATTLE WA 98106) during business hours, let one of the Librarians know you are a potential candidate to be a paid or Volunteer Librarian and ask to be shown around

Our beloved family cat is the cause of allergies in our young kids and needs to be re-homed.

Scout is a 15 year old indoor, male, long haired and neutered cat. Friendly and social. Has been raised with a lab mix dog although he prefers a quiet bed in the sunshine these days.

No health issues and still very agile. Would make a perfect companion. Litter box, travel carrier and other cat supplies happily included for the new family.

[KatherineL]

I was so flustered, I’m not sure I thanked you. I stepped on ice and went down hard. You both hurried over, helped me up and made sure I could get safely on my way. May Bartell always have exactly what you need – on sale, your gardens grow luxuriantly and weed free, and your neighbors treat you as kindly as you treated me. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

[WSDoog]

I have been a member since the mid-2000s. The club must treat their staff well. Most everyone you see there, you see over and over. This is true for front desk and facilities. Most maintenance matters are addressed promptly, though I have noticed slips from time to time. This is definitely the best proprietor the club has had since they opened 20 odd years ago. I believe the building owner is the business owner and was the person who rescued the club from the Sam Adams debacle.

[Roxanne]

I am hoping someone can help with finding our stolen CRV. Was stolen over night. Put in a police report. It is a silver/grey 1998 Honda CRV and has a Totoro tire cover on the spare. License BBL 1945. Was stolen near Fauntleroy and California.

[richspry]

There can’t be too many of us blessed with deaf dogs, but to the gentle man whom I met today in Fauntleroy Park with his dog: I would love to learn from you how to enrich my experience with this beautiful dog of mine. You had an immediate rapport with Issy that cut me to the quick. Thank you – Rich

[concernedcommoner]

@CarDriver, that is factually incorrect. While that may be a small factor taken into consideration, you have been provided numerous sources on how engineers and those implementing laws around speed, come to their conclusions. Arbitrary by definition is based on random choice or personal whim, rather than any reason or system. That is far from the case when it comes to setting laws of the roads. You continue to prove my point that education is such an important, if not THE most important piece to correcting what is a continuous problem for those on using the roadways.

Ignorance to proven facts does not make your argument true/factual on its own. Many factors get taken into account but even more-so, it all boils down to safety of those driving, walking, biking etc. How they coexist and what that coexistence looks like surrounding safety.

Study after study after study shows that the faster a vehicle is going has less time to react OR if they are in a collision, they are exponentially more likely to cause harm (depending on who is involved).

You brought up one case and guess what, the kid survived BECAUSE that person was going right around the speed they were supposed to be going in that area. It always cracks me up but is also disturbing when people use a small percentage of cases to prove a point that can be easily countered by the larger percentage reality. One statement above of going with the flow of traffic can be valid BUT also needs more scrutiny because if a majority of people are going 85 in a 25, should everyone be going 85? No. That is not logically sound. Going a little above or a little below is reasonable, but what concerns me are the vast number of people choosing to go well above the limit.

Seriously, go read the above sources of info, especially the one recently provided around how speed affects not only reaction time but also the extent of injury/death. The laws are clear and this city seems to have a lot of sentiment toward your belief that cars can do and should be able to whatever they want, because it’s arbitrary. Again, factually incorrect.

[CarDriver]

Speed limits have ALWAYS been arbitrary. Many were set using the 85% principle. Cars on a particular road would have their speeds recorded then they would tabulate the speed that 85% were going and that became the speed limit. @ 7 or 8 years ago there was a child hit in a crosswalk going to school in Auburn. He suffered quite a few injuries and was hospitalized (no follow-up so hopefully he’s fully recovered) Got quite a bit of tv coverage. Police pulled the womans computer information from the car. She was going 17mph in the posted 20mph school zone.
