OP is 100% wrong, propagating lies about ADUs that the Queen Anne Council have invented/disseminated. ADUs do not create defacto local slum lords – this has proven to be a ploy used by NIMBY proponents to try to talk folks out of supporting ADUs – in fact, in Portland, largely considered to be the leader in ADU development, there have been a grand total of ZERO complaints be neighborhood groups about ‘defacto slum lords’. Also, Portland, the LEADER in ADU developement, has 800 ADUs, out of 148,000 properties that could have them. You are completely lying to keep people out – you got in and want to p[ull up the ramp – are you also anti immigration because it sure sounds like something you’d support too. this is 100% made up by NIMBY’s like Alan here and the QA Council – they simply don’t want poor people to be able to afford to live in their neighborhood. ADUs are about twice the size on average of the current crop of apodments – so another lie. I also urged Herbold to support the ADU changes, and happily she got right back to me and said yes, that is the plan. So hopefully you’ve already lost your stupid stupid battle.

Alanseawa-

I absolutely think that these proposed changes to the ADU zoning and laws are acceptable and I too will voice my support to the city council, yet again, despite a few homeowners plans in Queen Anne to continuously derail this process. Removal of the on-site resident-owner requirement and on-site parking restrictions are acceptable if not welcome. A risk of not liking new neighbors or owners or having to share public parking on the street should hardly be considered a risk, and possibly a benefit. I’m happy Seattle is pushing forward with being a more welcoming city with more flexible housing options, and not putting personal car storage as a main priority in the development of housing.

Thanks to all who responded to my original posting on this Topic. Just to be clear, the contention I raised is not against allowing one ADU that obeys health and safety codes. The contention is against the City Council’s proposed ordinance that would allow two ADUs, attached and/or detached. Exacerbating the potentially adverse impact to the local area health and safety of ADUs’ occupants and neighbors are the lack of an on-site parking requirement and the lack of an on-site resident-owner requirement. By the study’s own estimate, the ten-year benefit to affordable housing units is very low, so I do not think the risk-benefit supports allowing a second ADU.

“Random write-ins” are not funny. Your “funny” write-in adds extra cost to processing your ballot and NOTHING you can write is original or funny, its all been seen before.

PNTA is seeking intelligent, motivated, career-minded individuals who want to work hard and be promoted within a live production company. We are currently adding a Retail Sales Associate, preferably with technical entertainment, live production, or theatrical interests and background, who wants to train in and work a retail/customer service position in PNTA’s Seattle retail store. Our retail store positions are important training grounds for developing highly skilled entertainment-supporting professionals. Your primary responsibility as a Sales Associate is to act as the client’s champion by listening and seeking to understand, teaching, facilitating, problem-solving, and following-up until the client’s needs are met, even post-sale.

Your clients will primarily come from the theatrical, architectural, corporate, educational, industrial, event support, and house of worship market segments. As a Sales Associate you will train and work at the direction of the Retail Store Manager, who will be successful only if she is able to engage and empower you in effectively working with customers, other staff throughout our company, and with PNTA’s manufacturers and suppliers.

Essential Duties and Responsibilities:

Customer Communications. You should like talking to customers in person or on the phone and you and believe a happy customer is a customer that never needs to ask what is going on with their order. You return emails and phone calls within the same business day, even if it’s only to say when you will be in touch with a more complete answer to their inquiry, fully confident in your ability to follow-through on your promise. You are highly organized and can use systems put into place so that you don’t “forget”. You are fearless when it comes to juggling the demands of multiple customers all at once, and can self-prioritize so that no balls are dropped. You live by the motto: “under promise, over deliver.”

Product Knowledge. It’s really helpful if you have some experience in live event production or some other technical field, but it’s not a necessity. Regardless of prior experience, you should have a voracious appetite for knowledge, comfortable with your geeky side and eager to learn about new technologies and products so you can teach co-workers and clients. There are no bounds to the topics that interest you, and no product applications that you don’t have some desire to investigate. If you have ever been called a “jack of all trades (with a cool head under fire)”, this is a position you can enjoy.

Sales. If you’ve read this far, you should have a pretty good idea of what we expect in terms of salesmanship. At PNTA we aim to create customers for life who return again and again, because we deliver exceptional service. While we are known for our technical expertise, our honesty, and our creative problem-solving are important as well. You will generate and manage sales, service, and rental transactions and enter and the related purchase requirements for items not in stock. You understand the importance of documenting transactions completely and accurately.

Inventory control. You are heads up enough to make sure inventory is being well merchandised and properly priced and notice when we have too much or too little of an item, letting the Purchaser know so that the problem can be addressed. You don’t mind filling shelves with incoming inventory and keeping the store looking tidy and attractive. You have ideas on how to present key products in an attractive and educational manner, and the gumption to execute on your ideas.

Other (sometimes Seasonal) Duties:
Assist in other departments, including warehouse and/or shipping, and with periodic inventories as needed.
Assist in fulfilling web-based sales orders.

Qualifications:

Must be self-motivated and able to work independently.
Must be mobile and active, able to stand, walk, bend and lift merchandise up to 50 lbs.
Must have basic computer knowledge, including Microsoft Word, Excel, Outlook, and internet applications.
Must have the ability to read and write English.
Must have solid math skills, including measurement, conversions and determining quantities needed (e.g., basic algebra and geometry). Advanced calculus and quantum physics is conversationally appreciated but unnecessary.
Must be dependable and punctual.
A sense of humor is strongly recommended but can’t be required.
One (1) year production experience preferred but not a requirement
One (1) year customer service experience preferred but not a requirement.

If we haven’t scared you off yet, submit a cover letter to qbxhq-6758467376@job.craigslist.org.

I can see many benefits to ADUs. Most are barely smaller than or even the same size as the small house I’ve lived in with my husband and dogs for 3 decades. There’s a lot to be said for minimalist living. We have proven that a house of that size works for 2, not just 1, people, so an ADU could be suitable for a couple or a single parent as well as a single person. Our property, should we ever decide to do an ADU, has a fully fenced dog compatible yard so also a benefit to renters. Having done parental caregiving, crossing the yard to get to my parent(s) would have been much easier than driving 30 miles with all the associated costs and impact on our traffic woes. Rental income, or reduced expenses caring for older family members, is a plus. And doing my share to increase the availability of affordable housing is a responsible thing to do. Oh, and for the life of me I cannot think of any health and safety issues, so I would love to hear more about that.

We converted our delapidated carport into a lovely backyard cottage last year and are renting it below market value to a single person who could otherwise not afford to live in the city. Permitting was a lengthy and laborious process, and I sure wish the city would cut us a break on property taxes since we are doing our small part to add to the affordable housing inventory. I obviously disagree with allenseawa’s argument -vague as it is – which does not align with my own experience as a DADU owner in Seattle.

[hightide]

alanseawa, thanks for bringing this up. I can’t agree more that increasing density and availability of alternative housing solutions should be priorities for zoning considerations. I’ll share my support of ADUs with Lisa Herbold on Monday.

[heartless]

Actually I’m all for expanding backyard cottages! They are fantastic and many forward-thinking cities in the PNW are embracing them. We should join them!

Just a few reasons why it’s so important we move forward on letting people build these units:
1) You own your own property! Want to build a small cottage to rent out? You should be able to do that!

2) If you read the WSB at all regularly you know how many homeowners need a break–being able to rent out a backyard cottage is a great way to make ends meet while continuing to stay in your home.

3) It’s a wonderful way to increase density while not having thick corridors of 5 story condos/apartments everywhere.

4) They are fantastic for extended families. Have older parents or even grandparents who don’t need much space but want to be near to family? A backyard cottage is a wonderful idea.

I’ve not heard a single good argument against letting these much needed changes go through–including the “arguments” you included, Alan. (Health and safety concerns? Really? And what, pray tell, might those be? And you actually make the argument that we shouldn’t have these additional rental units because the rent would be too high? Really?! If that’s not single most backward argument I’ve heard all week…)

I fully and enthusiastically support the changes–and I encourage everyone else to do the same–and let Lisa Herbold and others know you support the new zoning–it is prime time to make this sensible change in our backwards laws.

If I had a drone in the park, it could have been from a previous engagement and I didn’t want to leave it in my parked car, in case it was stolen. If that would have happened, and I reported the theft to WSB, I’d see comments saying how I should have brought it to the park with me instead of leaving it in my car.

Happy Thanksgiving!

I wonder why we do not have a forum on Zoning? Lacking that, I am posting this Topic under Open Discussion. I urge West Seattle residential owners to speak-out against proposed new zoning that would promote the expansion of Attached and Detached Accessory Dwelling Units (AADUs and DADAs). The final Environmental Impact Statement was produced in support on Oct 4. The projected benefit to affordable housing of about 2,500 additional very small units over 10 years pales in comparison to the downside risks to health and safety and probable unintended consequences such as very high ADU rents on a square foot basis and non-resident de facto slum-lords. There is opposition in Queen Anne which West Seattle should join. I have expressed my concerns to Lisa Herbold, urging her to oppose the zoning but have not received a definitive response. See

Rich, that’s funny – I’ve started doing random write-ins, or simply filling in “none of the above”. I think one of the worst things to happen around here was when the ‘top two’ voting system was approved. What’s happened is what always happens when there is any lack of opposition or difference of opinion – extremism. Locally, that means liberal extremism, where each candidate must appear to be more left than the other in order to stand out. There are no checks and balances. Don’t get me wrong, I think both left and right have lost their marbles. It’s just a shame that there’s absolutely no tolerance for moderation (sanity) any more.
As for judges, I don’t entirely blame them. Local laws and the way they are enforced have been rendered useless by the city council (and others) who are playing the game mentioned above. The hands of the police have been tied, as have those of judges. I suspect that’s also why sitting judges run unopposed. Those who might want to make a difference must surely be aware that they would be taking on a position where that’s impossible.

Did you find any contractor for this work?
If you are still searching for a contractor, then I would suggest you to check for local contractors in your area. I know about the Home Quality Remodeling team who provides all the home improvement services.
Make sure to check their reviews to find more information about them before you finalize any contractor.

[LoveWS]

For all those interested, HE came back mostly in favor of the city, minus bits and pieces for the city to include, (they probably already have done it) you can find the decision on the HE website.

Hello,
If you were parked in front of the AJ apartments this morning on Oregon between 42nd and California I am terribly sorry that this happened. I was driving and felt something hit my car. When I pulled over to see what had happened, I realized -I hit your car! I returned to the scene to leave a note, but I did not see a damaged vehicle. Please email me so I can provide insurance info. I am deeply sorry!

yes.. it’s wrong to point fingers..
but i wish you had also said that a fisherman who shot a “pinniped” should lose everything for that illegal act.
the truth is that too much evil is overlooked simply because those who could have prevented it don’t want to get involved.. to be blamed…

isn’t it time we started holding ourselves accountable?

[Canadagirl]

I was at the Admiral Theater 2 days ago and my wallet was stolen from my purse, under the chair. There were only 3 other people in the theater at 1pm and we have a pretty good description of who they were. Two guys sitting behind us, as the other patron was up against a wall, in our same row. Be careful, call the police and notify the credit reporting services!!! They got my ID, credit cards and cash.

There is no limit to human greed or human stupidity. As a species, we’re not very good at sharing. If a planet were represented as a neighborhood, humans are the last ones you’d want moving in.

I hope these killers are caught and made to pay for these senseless murders.

[935]

Way to start pointing fingers. Why don’t you wait for an investigation before painting with a HUGE brush….Don’t know many fishermen interested in losing EVERYTHING for killing a pinniped….I can think of at least 10 other potential parties….But won’t mention them, I prefer facts to hysterical accusations.
