How have the TSA lines been at SeaTac the past couple weeks? I know they were really bad several weeks ago, and am hoping they’ve improved. We have a flight next week and I’m trying to figure out when to arrive. It’s a 6:30AM flight on Saturday.

Ummm. The Republicans will do no such thing. Smitty I like you, but to say the R’s promote violence is insane and needs a response. With the premise peaceful protest is legal but violence is not, I will continue.

As we saw in California and New Mexico the people who are against freedom of speech get violent with pro Trump supporters. These “protests” are backed by certain paid leftist groups and other freelancers. It is unconscionable that a Presidential Candidate cannot have a rally without their supporters fearing for their safety. The San Jose police did not do their job last week. Their mayor told them to stand down. It was unfortunate that a gay Latino pro Trump man was beaten and given a broken nose and a slight concussion. Looks bad under the microscope. Why were people getting chased and assaulted? Those weren’t Republicans causing the violence.

This Link shows documents of reports. This is horrible. https://theconservativetreehouse.com/2016/06/09/san-jose-undercover-cops-trump-supporters-were-running-for-their-lives-we-were-unable-to-help/

the media exposure shows how idiotic leftist fascists can be. In fact check this out regarding the San Jose Mayor…

From the link… ” San Jose Police Chief Garcia admitted his officers were instructed not to stop violent protesters from beating the Trump rally attendees. In addition the San Jose Mayor has openly admitted to approving the San Jose police departments plans, and blamed Donald Trump for having the audacity to have a rally in “his city“.

California is such a one party state that opposing views are not allowed anymore I guess.

Looks bad doesn’t it. I didn’t want Trump as my nominee but while the press gets up in arms because of Hillary’s expensive wardrobe or Trump saying a judge that openly supports illegal immigrants and is a large LaRaza member, anti Trump supporters are attacking citizens. The statement from Smitty and another above tries to deflect it to make it a Republican problem. It is not. Your party has a huge problem. if there is violence it is usually from leftists. Knock it off.

Oil companies and coal companies have long poisoned the air and the ground and sold their products for cheap. If they had to clean up, they’d have to charge a lot more so we opted to keep it all cheap. Now comes the time to pay for that. Cleaning the soil, cleaning the air costs a lot of money. Burning all the oil found in the ground comes at a very high cost: global warming, intense storms that are more frequent, flooding, droughts. Alternative sources have proved themselves to be more efficient and they’re getting better year on year.

I know a family that moved away from Alki over 20 yrs ago after someone was shot and killed in front of their house. The chalk outline was the final straw. We avoid Alki in the summer because we’ve had problems with motorbikes when we go. For some reason, they love to park just in front and in back of my car, blocking me in. IF I nicely ask them to pull out the bike so I can leave, they get nasty.

“I wonder if the R’s will actually put together “fake” protests and hire people to yell profanities and wave the Mexican flags anyway just to stir up controversy?”

Of course they will! Anything to get the people’s and media’s attention away from the reality TV sh*tshow that Trump will manufacture for the convention.

[dobro]

If you hate lying, Donald Trump should be the last person you’d want to be President. He’s a con man whose entire career is based on a pile of Daddy’s money, white (and rich people’s) privilege, misrepresentation, illusion,and a willingness to say anything to get what he wants no matter how it squares with the truth. Putting him in charge of the gov’t will not do one thing to prevent anything this story talks about.

[Smitty]

I think he will be pressured into an endorsement prior to the convention in order to tamp down any protests.

As it stands now the Democratics will be protesting at both the R and the D conventions……which I don’t think is a good look.

I wonder if the R’s will actually put together “fake” protests and hire people to yell profanities and wave the Mexican flags anyway just to stir up controversy?

[waynster]

I have to agree with dobro ….Bernie knows its over he just wants to see what he can get put in the platform in Philly… now will there be some of his supporters whining even past the convention.. oh yes even in this forum some will…. will it drum up up support for the Donald ….Oh HELL NO!! he is going to fade fast he eats his feet to much…..
now I like this….

Although I am not a big Trump fan, stories like this show why he has many supporters. Especially when the Government (the one that was going to be the most transparent ever…) is caught hiding information … Again. I so hate the lying from DC.

Imagine that from the Danish. A country where you can’t buy something over $1500.00 and if you do and a citizen complains, the police can search your house. But that must be a progressive utopia. Wink.

Didn’t the Germans allow in about 1 Million refugees who are not used to cold weather? They might get angry along with the average German citizens. Well, the article is right. Time will tell and I hope it doesn’t cause too many deaths.

We’ve helped solve hums over the years but haven’t had anything sustained lately. As for Cascadia Rising, the closest publicly announced event/base is on mid-Vashon (separate from the hub drill on Saturday, which shouldn’t generate any noise) …

I guess in the perfect GREEN DREAM the residential users adjust there lifestyle but that doesn’t happen and so it is always the residential customer that gets hurt in the renewable death spiral. The baseload provider and the industry are usually quite happy and leave the residential customer to rot.

Previously they claimed that there was no need for any kind of backup for renewables.
Next, they claimed that battery technology would somehow come along and make renewables work.
Their newest claim : it’s ok to have a lot of renewables so long as someone else is providing the back up.

Examples will have to be made : Germany.

Big business are exempt from paying the additional green tax to support the switchover to renewables, because if they weren’t, they have to raise their prices substantially and even the greenest of green governments knows what that means. Bang goes any competitive edge on the exports front and eventually, the manufacturers would simply relocate to a more business friendly country. With a revolver like that held to their head, Berlin caved in to business interests. When all six chambers are loaded, it’s a no brainer, even for greens.

The state electricity grid is obliged to buy electricity from renewable sources at guaranteed prices, which are well above the wholesale prices charged by the traditional generators. Who’s financing that gap ? Well, that’s the government but one has to ask where they are they getting all the extra money to do that ? Easy, they just charge the consumers an extra tax on their bill.

The Danish government has announced a new proposal to resolve the problem of the renewable energy tax (PSO) which the EU believes to be illegal and which has become markedly more expensive for businesses and citizens than planned.

On my run last night along Beach Drive, I noticed an all women’s boot camp at the park. It was taking place on the cement overlook near the water. It looked amazing, and I would love to join… but I have no idea which Boot Camp that was, and can’t seem to find anything online! Does anyone have any ideas? Thank you!

You can send a request to the following to request she follow through with a meeting:

Lisa Herbold:
lisa.herbold@seattle.gov
206 684 8803 (legislative asst)
206 768 1122 (office number)

Alex Cardy
alex.cardy@seattle.gov
206 386 1856 (office)

If you contact them, please update the email thread so that we can track the number of attempts by her constituents. I will be working my way through the neighborhood to get this information to many residents who are affected.

[brukeste]

Here is a copy of one of the letters sent to Lisa that she has instructed her staff and Seattle to ignore responding to.

All I have begun a discussion with King County McDermotts office to get some documentation to help us track down why our neighborhood has been neglected or simply not considered when approving permits and environmental impact studies.

We have also been engaged with our city council member Lisa Herbold.

King County has committed to having information to me by Friday. Also, we are working with Council Member Herbolds office to get a meeting setup to discuss some options on how to make our neighborhood whole. We should hear back from them by Friday to when this meeting will take place.

(Alex, please give us an hour of dedicated time and not one backed up to another “event”.)

Just to summarize….

Before you read, we have many issues, however the primary problem is how to save our homes from dying peat bog. We want to be careful not to confuse the many challenges of our neighborhood.

* In 1954 Seattle annexed to Seattle

* In June 1954 Seattle approved development of our homes on 17 acres of peat bog.

* In 1958 Governor Rosellini requested a study on this area to understand peat bogs.
(Just an FYI. Peat bogs are a type of soil that can support development as long as there is a way to keep it alive by feeding ground water. If the water supply is cut off or diverted by other projects such as the Church development, King County filling in the wetlands, the
West Side school or Roxbury Elementary, the bog will die. Once it dies, that part of the bog is not recoverable, hence the dramatic change in the land settling. Many of us have seen issues in the last 3-4 years crop up on our property. My house has sank an inch on the
Eastside of my house and many neighbors up hill from us are starting to see cracking in their driveways, where it did not previously exist. Others who are elderly and on very fixed incomes have had to pony up thousands of $ to have Robbins & Co. secure their property.)

* In 1975 King County requested the wetlands associated with Grace Baptist be deemed a landfill instead of a wetlands and began filling it in with West Seattle Bridge debris. I have found their petition and am waiting for it to be sent to Seattle (currently archived in
Snoqualmie). The request was to change the wetlands from a Class 3 (supports plant and animal life and other hydro value…peat bogs) to a Class 1 (land fill).

* In 1975 one of the longtime neighbors sent an email to the city/county expressing concern with the water/drainage issues which appeared to show up when the county began filling in the wetlands with debris. The letter has been given to the city and county on several of their visits to survey
the problem.

* In 1980, Grace Baptist Church purchased the land their church is built-on and requested permission to fill in the remaining wetlands be filled in. This was approved.

* In 2013(?) the city/county went in on a plan to increase the holding pond. $1 million dollars later they notified us the work was complete and that this was only a band-aid and would not actually solve the problem. They never indicated to us (that we recall) that we lived on
a Peat bog during those meetings. To increase the pond size, they asked the church to sell them land but were denied. (I find this humorous since homes and property can be taken to build a Walmart? because its better for the community??)

* In February 2016 Lisa Herbold and a host of SPU staff and West Seattle Blog came to see the issue and requested a suggestion on resolving the issue. Again….without naming people, there is not a person we have spoken to, whether on the phone or those who visited
the neighborhood, indicated EVERYONE knows we are neglected. I suspect this has to do with the proximity of King County line. No one wants to take the responsibility because it is a multi-faceted issue.
During that meeting, I made it clear to Lisa and the other visiting entourage that we want to be partners in resolving the issue, but so far I think the end result was a shiny finger.

* In April 2016, we received a report resulting from a meeting with SPU and Lisa that contained “talking points” of what options could be offered to fix our neglected neighborhood.

* We are requesting additional documentation to see what impacts were considered when approving all the development of the schools, churches and a neighboring wetland (Roxhill).

* I am also requesting assistance in getting some property tax relief to our neighborhood. They continue to raise the taxes on our home, but we have properties that are being damaged and it doesn’t seem fair the city gets $ and we get no help. (Lisa asked the Assessors office to re-evaluate and reduce our neighborhood value as a solution.)

I can tell you the report did not seem very productive, but it did provide us some insight to how they are trying to shape the problem (“Its our problem and fault”). As I said, EVERY single person within the county/city who has been talked to, has said, “We know you are neglected”!

We have requested a productive meeting with Lisa in the coming week or so, to review some alternative solutions that hopefully will help save our investments due to the actions of the city/county. (Lisa Herbold has instructed her staff to avoid any meeting requests. She has expressed no interest in following up further. This is willful negligence since they know they have been diverting water)

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at this email address.

As we get more information I will forward that on.

Thanks for your help.

Bruce

Please share this with all your neighbors. It would not hurt to contact Lisa’s office and ask her to follow up with the meeting she promised. She has already indicated this is a problem in our neighborhood that she is not interested in addressing!)

Hopefully this helps.

Reminder for parents of older kids and teens to review basic bike safety. I know I will.

Just because there is a walk signal at a crosswalk, does not mean you can blow through it on your bike. Kid was going about 10 MPH (on the sidewalk) and didn’t even hesitate or look for traffic. People turning left across said intersection will not see you or expect a fast-moving bike when seconds before no pedestrians were there.

The cute, brown haired kid (with his helmet hanging on his handlebars) about 15 yrs old at the intersection of California and Charlestown is lucky I have good brakes.

More about Pecos Pit Bar-B-Que:
Pecos Pit Bar-B-Que Restaurants trace their roots to 1980 when Ron & Debra Wise opened Pecos Pit Bar-B-Que in Seattle, WA on 1st Avenue South. They served two essential ingredients to their customers, warm welcomes and smoked meats. Their delicious alder smoked, slow roasted beef and pork soon became legendary. Their habit-forming slow cooked sandwiches with piles of meat and an addicting sauce became wildly acclaimed. The sauce alone was a real point of distinction, separating those who stood in line by how daring they would be. “Mild” for those sanely enjoying the meat, “Medium”, which to most is adventurously hot, and “Hot” for those who don’t mind their hair on fire. Three heats, only one sauce. It became known as “The Only Sauce”. Pecos Pit humbly began in an old open-air gas station—stand in line in rain or shine or don’t bother. And line up they did. Devoted men and women in everything from hard hats to suits have come for years to get their Pecos fix. This humble beginning started a Northwest born obsession for barbeque that Seattleites have never gotten over, nor have those who visited.

What’s Next?
So now after 36 years of having a single Pecos Pit Bar-B-Que location, Ron and Debra Wise have teamed up with Gerry Kingen to share their iconic Seattle jewel with the rest of the world, starting with West Seattle this coming spring It will open at the corner of 35th Ave SW and Fauntleroy Way SW in the former Yasuko’s Teriyaki location, across from Taco Time. The West Seattle location will feature indoor seating, and an outdoor deck as well as a handy drive through. The new Pecos locations will serve the same famous Pecos Pit BBQ found on 1st Avenue for decades, along with some new habit forming options. Offerings include our traditional pork, beef, and chicken sandwiches in a decidedly sloppy style, plus beef brisket, and hot links, with prices ranging from $7.75 to $9.50. You can add hot links; just say “spike it”, as well as bleu cheese, sharp cheddar, smoked bacon, cole slaw, pickles, extras sauce and onions. New variations include stuffed smoked potatoes (sweet or russet) for around $8, and a “Walkabouts Bowl” filled with the meat of your choice plus cheese, cold slaw and sauce. We serve healthy salads made with your choice of smoked meat, or have it veggie style, with baby kale, olives, tomatoes, cowboy caviar, cheddar cheese, and blue cheese or ranch dressing.

You can even buy bulk, smoked meats including Pecos pork, beef brisket, turkey legs, and smoked chicken ranging from $7.95 to $14.95 per pound. Word has it that the rum runners are hard at work vying for moonshine and libation offerings. Stand by for whispers on this one.

Kingen is planning on opening a number of company owned locations locally and will expand nationally to share our delicious Pecos Pit Bar-B-Que with hungry customers across the country.

[brukeste]

Dear Council Member Lisa Herbold,

I am writing to you to ask why you have chosen to ignore your constituents here in West Seattle.

In February 2016 you were so helpful in coming to your neighborhood in Arbor Heights to see how badly our neighborhood has been neglected by the city over the years. You agreed with our assessment at the time and even invited the WS Blog photographer and SPU and SDOT staff to join you. During that meeting you asked for solutions and even admitted that we were being ignored. You were so engaged and promised you would not ignore us. But surprise, after your visit you sent us a poorly generated talking points document with no offer of a real solution then you have ignored all of our attempts to engage in conversation. Does the text you sent me saying your office would be in touch not truthful?

You even acknowledged the complaints. We have been trying for 4 months now to get your attention. Did we do something wrong? Did someone from the city suggest you ignore us? Then it appears you have instructed SDOT to not even complete specific projects here, maybe its a coincidence. Every time we call we are told that you are aware of the condition of our neighborhood, but have expressed no interest in addressing your constituents issues.

Please follow through on your promise to meet with us! We would like to have a meaningful discussion on how to rectify willful negligence to our neighborhood and properties.

Sincerely,
Bruce
