Topic: Car tabs – expired
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

WSTL is located at the Youngstown Cultural Arts Center – 4408 DELRIDGE WAY SW, near the West Seattle Bridge
WSTL Hiring Qualifications
Passion for DIY projects, tools, and serving community 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
