Our block’s alley is full of potholes and would benefit from the redistribution of existing gravel and dirt and a proper grading. I can rent a skid-steer, if necessary. If done by someone who knows how to operate a skid-steer, it could be done by one person in one day.
If you’ve worked with any companies or individuals that have successfully performed these services, at a reasonable cost, please provide their contact info. Thanks!

Read the full job posting and apply at https://raincityclay.com/work-with-usHello West Seattle,
I made the mistake of selling a plant stand that was of great sentimental value to my daughter because it was her grandmother’s who passed away many years ago when she was a little girl. Both grandma and granddaughter love plants. I mistakenly sold the plant stand in effort to clean out the shed this Saturday, May 9.
The plant stand was sold to a woman who was dog sitting for a family with a black and white friendly Corgi. The nice lady walked from North Delridge and shopped yard sales on 35th. She explained that the table would be gifted to the dog owners to use on their front porch because it needed a little table.
The table black metal with a mosaic top. I have a picture of it.
I would be so grateful to track the table down and buy it back for my daughter. She’s so sad that the table was sold. Any information would be very appreciated!Topic: Help us Find a Rental Home!

The speed and the noise of these cars is startling, disruptive and very unsafe. We have emailed the city but have gotten no response. Thank you for any support you can provide!

Topic: Help Safeway Sue
If this is OK to post here,
A community member in west Seattle connection group recommended i may be able to share here;my mom works at the Roxbury Safeway. I hear all the time about how much she loves her customers and that’s the only reason why she’s still at Safeway. On Thursday 4/2/2026 she had surgery due to a worker’s injury that she was denied L&I and will be out of work for three months. Every time I go into the store everyone tells me how much they love my mom, “oh your sue’s daughter” and you customers are what make her day better and keep her working there dispute the harsh unfair treatment from the company. I’ve started a go fund me to support her recovery during this difficult time.
Donate to help my mom recover, keep stabilized housing and take care of medical bills post surgery. Due to being denied works injury, she’s forced to pay her surgery out of pocket and is out of work for 3 months.
Even if you can’t donate a simple share to show her love, help’s.
Also if you happen to know if any legal advice for injury/disability that would be very helpful. We’ve had a hard fight with Safeway regarding her injury and disability.Topic: Protect Seniors from Scams
Seattle residents should urge the City Council to prohibit cryptocurrency kiosks, often called crypto ATMs. These machines resemble bank ATMs but operate with virtually no meaningful consumer protections. Of the more than 900 crypto kiosks licensed statewide by the Washington Department of Financial Institutions, 73 are located in Seattle. None are subject to limits on fees or transaction amounts, nor are operators required to provide refunds. These are protections other states have adopted to reduce scam-related harm. Yet, even where regulations exist, enforcement has proven difficult. Connecticut, for example, revoked licenses after operators failed to comply.
The FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center reports a continued sharp rise in complaints and losses tied to crypto kiosks. In 2025 alone, losses increased 58 percent, with older and vulnerable individuals disproportionately affected. Once cash is deposited and converted to cryptocurrency, recovery is nearly impossible.
Cities are stepping in where states have not. Spokane banned crypto kiosks last summer, and other cities across Washington state are now considering similar action. Meanwhile, Washington’s Legislature has failed twice to pass consumer protections, leaving local governments to act.
This is not about cryptocurrency itself, it’s about stopping a tool that is widely used to steal from vulnerable residents. Seattle should lead by banning crypto kiosks.
