Was the man Native American? I’ve ridden the C Line several times where a native man with glasses gets on and purposely picks fights with people and uses race as his motive. I’ve seen him hanging around the 711 by Uptown Espresso and the Junction stop by Easy Street.

We stopped at around 4:45 by Avalon and Bradford because passengers started screaming at the bus driver to stop. A man in the back was aggressively yelling in a woman’s face, calling her a “dumb, white bitch”. He was holding something in his hand that looked like spray. I have no idea what triggered that incident and would like some details. I am still recovering from that bus ride.

Suicide is the 3rd leading cause of death for young people ages 10-24. The median age for the onset of symptoms of anxiety issues is 11. More than 60% of youths experiencing depression are not receiving treatment.

YOUTH MENTAL HEALTH FIRST AID

Youth Mental Health First Aid is an evidence-based 8 hour training designed to teach parents, family members, caregivers, teachers, school staff, coaches, mentors, neighbors, health and human services workers, and other caring citizens how to recognize and help an adolescent (age 12-18) who is experiencing a mental health or addictions challenge or is in crisis.

Many mental health issues first arise in the teen years, and if teens have adults in their life who they trust, and who are able to talk to them about what is going on in their lives, they are better able to cope with what is going on.

This training teaches how to recognize signs that a youth is having difficulties, how to listen and communicate in a supportive fashion, and how to get emergency help if there are signs of crisis.

This class is a $170 value that is being offered for free. It is being hosted by CrossFit Hinge and manuals are being provided by King County Behavioral Health. I’m the instructor. I’ve been a West Seattle resident for more than 3 decades. The training will be happening in the SoDo neighborhood. It starts at 8:30, and you must attend the entire 8 hours. Participants need to be age 18 or older.

If you are interested, email me at dykstradma@gmail.com with questions or to get signed up.

Hi Everyone. Wow, just wow. Thank you for everyone’s generosity. Because of all of you, Jane was able to pay the $800 hidden moving fees (plus a $55 ‘service fee’ for the pleasure of paying the bill).

With a total of $1,000 raised, we are close to being able to cover the remaining rent balance of $300.00. Each day she is late, adds $$s to the rent balance, but with all of this support, we will get there.

Any funds beyond this will go to providing food for Jane & her dogs. (as stated in the original post). Being off work for 2 weeks for medical reasons set her back as she currently struggles to make ends meet each month. Someday she will get to a point where she can save for emergencies, but that time is out in the future.

Thank you for supporting Jane through this rough patch. Please feel free to share this post on FB, etc.,

Thanks again, to each of you, for your empathy and support of Jane and her dogs.

Warm Regards,
Teri

Did you know indoor air can be 2-5 times more polluted than outdoor air?

The American Lung Association’s Master Home Environmentalist program offers free Healthy Home Checkups for ANY resident in Seattle. Our program helps residents find health hazards affecting their indoor air quality and gives recommendations on how to reduce those hazards. It is our hope that by following our recommendations, you can create a healthier home environment.

For homes that have a child living with asthma, we focus on common household asthma triggers. By signing up for a visit, these households can receive a free vacuum, dehumidifier, OR air purifier. Our program is just one of several others in the nation that are helping to reduce asthma disparities. Read more here

We need your help to raise awareness about our program in any way, shape, or form. Help us spread the word about Master Home Environmentalist so that we can continue to improve lung health in Seattle homes.

This blog, and Nextdoor, is rife with us residents voicing dissatisfaction the the judiciary – all the criminals coming back, repeating their crimes and taking a chunk of ideal out of our paradise. However, how do we change things if – on the West Seattle Ballot – there are 18 judicial related positions (prosecutors, state supreme court, local judges) and only 2 were contested? Aside from the message we’re hopefully sending in the 2019 council races, how do we fix this? It’s not like just anybody can decide they’re mad as hell, not going to take it any more and decide to run for judge. Curious.

Hello all! My apologies, I didn’t see these replies!!!

The man appears to be in his 50’s, maybe 60’s, but I can’t tell if this is because he’s had a rough life or really is older. Looks like he has scraggly, grey hair coming down under the ball cap he’s usually wearing. He’s caucasian. Most distinguishable ‘feature’ would be his raspy, sometimes deep (seems to get more pronounced the more worked up he is) aggressive voice/tone. He also has a very specific ‘schlep’ or cadence, quick but with one foot sometimes really dragging. His face has an aggressive, upset scowl to it.

As for who specifically it is, I’ve heard from another neighbor that he thinks he lives down on 41st, but since I run around here all the time, I can’t really envision which house that would be, I guess I’ll have to pay more attention next time I circle down there. I’ve also never seen him close or lingering near a house enough to even think he could belong there.

The police said there was nothing they could do if he didn’t have a weapon, which I’ve since learned I should have just said that yes, he indeed did have a weapon when he came at me: he was using the metal end of my security sign as the object he seemingly was going to ‘shred’ me with. In shock, when the police asked if he had a weapon on the phone, I didn’t see a gun or knife or anything, but in hindsight, a weapon could be anything and I should have said yes, then they could have responded.

Since this has happened (Friday, October 26th) he returned for rounds later that evening as I mentioned, and apparently was around the following week (this past week) quite a bit, specifically Monday and Tuesday. In fact, my neighbor who I ran to when it happened (lives across the way from me) called me on Tuesday morning to let me know that the man was out and about being pretty active and to be careful. He also said that while he was out keeping an eye on him, he got pretty aggressive so he took a video of him. Then, one of the mom’s sitting in her car which was parked right in front of our houses rolled down her window and said she and some of the other moms were really nervous because they’d seen him around and were getting worried and wanted to know who he was. Also, that she was calling the police to report him since he’s lingering around a school so much. My neighbor called me again to know that police were finally scouting the area looking for him so I should find some comfort in the fact that they’re aware and acting.

Around 2pm on that Tuesday, October 30th, I was coming down Dakota and saw a police car turn from 41st, left onto Dakota, then left down the/my alley where the Holy Rosary drop off happens, then back down Dakota and back down 41st. I paused at the top of 41st and Dakota and saw 3-4 officers near the end of street, so I drove down. Got long looks from them as I drove by and saw the man handcuffed and sitting on the ground. He was talking to the cops the cops looked humored/annoyed. I thought about pulling over, or just rolling down the window recount what happened with me and him, but I didn’t. Wish now that I had.

Anyhow, I don’t know what came of that, if they arrested him or what. And I haven’t seen him around. Anyone else know more?

Also, I’m sure I’ve dropped enough info for you to figure out where I’m at, so if you see me, please say hello or don’t hesitate to even come knock to introduce (most the HR kids don’t even knock anymore to go retrieve their balls from the backyard, ;). I was going to go chat with Dave the playground attendant, and also the HR principle on Monday just share my experience and see if there’s any news as well.

Hoping we can keep our neighborhood as safe as possible, all! Thanks for all your responses and please update if you know more.

I am looking for infant childcare options 7am – 4pm M-F for a ~4 month old to start in August 2019. Any recommendations for West Seattle options would be greatly appreciated! We are open to nanny share as well. It has been a challenge to find any places with openings, and would love some additional places to look into that come recommended from others.

A heartfelt thank you to everyone that has donated to help Jane and her dogs stay in her home. Ran into a friend at Hotwire Online Coffeehouse…she just handed me $20 for Jane.

Jane met with a certain organization this morning. After going through everything, having to explain her last 5+ years of struggle and fear, they said no to her application. They offered to pray with her/for her….all she could do is walk away, crying.

Total amount raised stands at $205.00. Please share this with folks you know. If we can get 90 people to donate $10 each, Jane will have enough to cover the immediate housing $$s. Anything over that will help with food for the next month until she is back on her feet.

She has worked so hard to overcome the obstacles thrown at her due to domestic violence and homelessness. Please help me and others , help her to keeping moving forward. Thank you, Teri

Help spread the word!

The SDOT contractors for the Arbor Heights sidewalk project are gone, finally – but the mess remains at the NW corner of 35th & 102nd. They came back a week ago and spent several hours loading the wood forms, posts, etc. that they wanted, but left behind the trash – plastic pipes, cardboard, discarded water bottles, etc. Taxpayers paid a bundle for this boondoggle, and they can’t even clean up after themselves. Disgusting. They even had the nerve to yell at me for trying to clean up some of it on their last day.

Has anyone used Seattle Log Splitting’s services? Impressions??

Hey Mark47n – thank you for the question!

My intentions are threefold, fury aside, litter is a growing issue – broken window theory….
1) Call attention to those in our (overly used pronoun) Community intent on trashing the place. Hoping they *might* get the message and stop putting their caca in the public right of way. Take it to the dump. Cal SVDP Call use Second, Call the will of the Good….If they don’t want it, it’s probably trash…Call the management of waste. All the above will schedule pick up.
B)Hopefully create a groundswell of shaming for those neighbors to call out those who do this…Sure there are phantom dumpers – but let’s solve the homeowners trying to create utopia – via giving away their trash for “free”.
>)Finally: use this blog to let anyone who reads it know where they can get – say…Some rain drenched electronics, or perhaps a filth ridden mattress…

It is MY way to tilt at windmills. Stay tuned…The garbage issue grows.

I swear I’m thinking about buying a taser or something. Even going thru an area of the Seattle Center recently, there was a man jumping and yelling at someone in his head, and stopping and looking up at the people around him. What would I do, if he became physically aggressive to me or my friends? So here in W.S. we have someone, who sounds like a ticking time bomb ready to explode. It is a shame, that we have become so politically paranoid, that we/they can’t describe this person in a little more detail. TonyPosse, you’re being so polite in trying to ask, what the heck does this guy look like? Black white blue green, old, young, I don’t care, but he needs a description. I frequent this area many times thru the week. And what DO the police do? Does he physically have to do personal or property damage before he is picked up and assessed?

Hi, my name is Teri Ensley. As a volunteer domestic violence advocate, I am asking for assistance in keeping my client “Jane” from returning to homelessness. Jane and her two emotional support dogs have been through a lot and have conquered many obstacles. The obstacle they now face will return them to homelessness without help.

As a survivor of domestic violence and stalking Jane and her dogs lived in her vehicle and overnight shelters for two years. Through pure courage and grit, Jane was able to resume her professional career and rent an apartment. She has lived independently for three years, working full time plus overtime to make ends meet. Her work is a helping profession, of which she is passionate.

Due to increasing rents, Jane moved into an even smaller unit at her building. At the same time, she suffered health crises resulting in hospitalizations and leaves of absence. She had most of her rent money but then the apartments hit her with “fees” not previously disclosed, in the amount of $800. Trying to negotiate with the management has been to no avail. She has reached out to agencies and has been unable to be assisted (as of yet).

The fundraiser goal, to help Jane remain in her apartment is $1,500, broken down as follows:
1) $800 in additional moving fees
2) $300 remaining balance for November rent
3) $400 as a buffer to ensure she can afford nutritious food for herself and her dogs as she gets back to work

For information about Jane, and how to donate, please see https://www.gofundme.com/domestic-violence-survivor-amp-pets. Thank you for your consideration and generosity.

What, precisely, do you intend to accomplish with this other than to stoke your own fury?

[Reading Partners]

Reading Partners is a literacy nonprofit that mobilizes community volunteers to provide one-on-one tutoring to struggling elementary student readers.

No experience is required to volunteer! We seek volunteers who can commit 1 hour/week for a semester. Tutors are paired to work with the same student and are provided with an easy-to-follow curriculum. Reading Partners also has a staff Site Coordinator who is available to support tutors at all times. Volunteers make an enormous impact: on average, students double their rate of learning while enrolled in the program.

We have a high need of compassionate tutors to work with students in our two West Seattle schools, Highland Park Elementary and Sanislo Elementary! Available session times run Monday-Thursday from ~8:30AM – 3:00pm.

If you are interested in volunteering, contact Reading Partners’ Volunteer Coordinator at volunteerSEA@readingpartners.org.
