It sure looks like a place you shouldn’t be allowed to turn right on red. The stop line is a long way before the intersection, and you have to cross over the bus lane. It can be very difficult to see whether any traffic is coming on Alaska before you begin your turn. However, I agree with Ed and CarDriver. It is legal unless there’s a sign prohibiting it.

[Sue]

I agree with you. I live close to the WS Bridge, so getting to Columbia City has not been a bit deal for me. Getting to Burien is probably equidistant time-wise, even though Burien is slightly further mileage-wise. I gave it a week or two after they opened to settle in and showed up to do my regular shopping. I do a majority of my shopping at PCC and spend $$$ there. And like you, I came out with very little. Either couldn’t find what I wanted, or they didn’t have what I was looking for (and what I get at Columbia City). I will be very disappointed if the new WS location ends up similar. I’ll probably give it another chance to see if they were just not done stocking things yet, but I have a feeling I’ll be just as disappointed. When I first saw Columbia City, I loved it and was so excited that the new WS location might be similar. But if Burien is what they’re moving to, meh.

[SouthEasterBunny]

Thanks EdSane… yes, right turns on an arrow are indeed allowed if there is no sign prohibiting it. Apparently WA uses arrows as directional signals in turn-only lanes.

[Chemist]

Looks like they’re going to get to 35th around 2023, if the money doesn’t run out first.

The real answer, based on listening to recent council talks/advisory committee meetings about Move Seattle budget allocations, is that there’s a budget threshold where projects are no longer done in-house and the get bid and contracted out as major projects. I think that was the same reason for that sidewalk near Delridge being done in half asphalt and half concrete.

Rave: A few weeks ago, SDOT actually came out to fix 35th Ave SW and it wasn’t their pothole ranger team; an actual repaving team – yay!

Rant: After a whole production of partial lane closures with 8-9 large pieces of paving equipment and trucks, only a tiny sliver of a lane was paved a glorious 2 blocks from Myrtle to Holly.

What’s half-“baked” (half-a**-ed) about this?

The strip paved doesn’t align with the lane. It partially covered the turn lane and partially the driving lane. There will be guaranteed potholes starting on the seam this winter right in the middle of the driving lane. More future dangerous swerving opportunities created. We’ll now spend the next 2 years like mindless Sisyphean idiots punching away requests on the Find-it-Fix-it app. They also didn’t do the last pothole ridden block between Holly and the nice concrete of the Morgan/35th intersection. They also left the half-baked pothole ranger slap-dash fixed stretch between Othello and Myrtle in front of OLG.

It’s just a hodge-podge of expensive repetitive half-baked fixes on 35th.

Why didn’t they just properly pave a whole lane?
Why didn’t they pave adjacent blocks while they were out for the day or two?
Who manages this work?
Do different teams talk to each other?
Is this even cost efficient?
Can anybody explain if anything SDOT does is logical?
What the actual ****?

There IS a free right there. Unless there is a sign prohibiting it. Right turns are completely legal. Note:pedestrians have the right of way!. If people think there shouldn’t be right turns there the correct-and legal thing to do is either gather at city council chambers to voice your opinions or gather signatures for an initiative. Being a roadway vigilante by applying the law the way you think it should be simply makes you as big a problem on the road as those that do beak the law.

Chuck came and cleaned all the moss from our roof and did a great job. Prompt, easy to work with, reasonably priced, and cleaned up the yard well afterwards. Also cleaned the gutters. We would recommend him highly.

I hadn’t seen this thread before. So…I am a girl (woman) born before 1950. All the way back to ancient times in 1947 That makes me “vintage” now. In the early 70’s I enlisted in the Women’s Army Corp, where women got to shoot weapons, became mechanics working on vehicles in the motor pool, and driving said vehicles, too. So what’s the crap about having to be born in the 70’s, yada yada. Women may not have flown many planes way back then (damn, I feel ancient….oh, wait…), but women did a lot of stuff that you probably don’t realize. It had to start somewhere. And , as far as flying planes, and doing what men do, now…well, that changes and gets better every day. It might be 2 steps forward, one back, under the current administration, but, progress has been made. Things are far from perfect…we definitely are considered 2nd class by many in this country, but we persist…and resist…and hopefully the new generation coming up will follow in the footsteps of women like Harriet Quimby, got her pilot’s license in 1911, or Matilde Moisant, who got her license 13 days later. Military? No. But they could fly. Or consider Bessie Coleman, the first black aviatrix, who got her international pilot’s license in 1921. What an accomplishment. I don’t think Boeing is disrespecting women on that billboard. Yes, we’ve come a long way, and still have a ways to go. But give Boeing a break.

PNelson…thanks for your post.

I don’t know for sure but my inclination is no. It’s not a true right turn, and the crosswalk is active at times when the light is red. There probably should be a sign prohibiting a right turn on red (which will undoubtedly be ignored like at the 4-way walk intersection).

Thank you for asking – too many people these days are ignoring the rules of the road (and common courtesy) when traveling on Fauntleroy through The Triangle.

Mom Bulldog got us a family membership at the very first PCC in Ravenna — we’d trek out there from South Seattle every weekend for sugar-free foods that, as a kid, I was NOT a fan of. I remember the spicy/patchouli smells and everyone with long hair and long toes sticking out of their Birkenstocks. Bunch o’ hippies.

Now I laugh at myself, because when our WS PCC did it’s renovation I was seriously unimpressed and felt it was way too “slick” and “corporate” and wandered too far from our PCC cooperative roots. (We people with our changing opinions and outlooks are funny.) I didn’t know what to expect with the Burien store; I knew it would be smaller and probably rough around the edges from being new, but I don’t really like it.

It’s got a cold feel to it and I really dislike their lining-up system for the cash registers. However, it’s on the way home from work so I’ll stop when necessary.

I do love all the options of the Seward Park store, and it’s my hope that in WS we can find that middle ground of PCC’s original roots and spices, mixed with a dash of modern take-out and topped with that feeling of community and do-gooderiness that comes from shopping there.

If one is driving south on Fauntleroy, just past Trader Joe’s, there’s a stoplight at Alaska street, right by the LA Fitness. At that SW(?) corner, is it ok to take a free right at a red light to Alaska street? There’s no sign prohibiting it but that corner is at such a weird wide angle, I wanted to clarify.

[Pnelson]

The 50’s jet aircraft pictured is in fact a 1953 Grumman F9F-8 Cougar. The Museum has one in their collection. Another fun fact: The Museum’s F9F Cougar is featured in the 1982 movie “An Officer and a Gentleman,” which was filmed in Port Townsend. The movie starred Debra Winger, an actress that left Hollywood at what was considered the height of her career due to the pressures put on aging women in the film industry, as discussed in the documentary “Searching for Debra Winger,” which is a much more salient movie in light of the recent #MeToo movement. Discuss.

i have to admit.. when i first read this i thought how bad could it be? Was this another case of it’s not like it used to be rearing it’s ugly head? So today i visited the Burien store. I won’t return.

it’s not just that it has a cold warehouse feeling.. and it’s certainly not that it is incomplete.

I walked in ready to do my regular PCC shopping and walked out with 5 items.. This store simply does not have the depth of selection that other stores have. Worse .. i had to search the entire store to find where the products i was looking for should have been.

No thanks. I don’t have a clue how they are going to compete with trader joes just across the parking lot.

When our local PCC closed and i was forced to seek out other PCC stores i got a glimpse of what a vibrant neighborhood market could be.. and this isn’t it.

epic fail. i hope they do a course correction before trying to pedal that store here in West Seattle…

and yes.. i did share this with the management

Hi, neighbors – This is from PCC’s Customer Service Manager, whom I emailed:

“The Burien location was our first roll-out of this design, and we’ll be making slight modifications along the way as we evaluate what works and what doesn’t. We appreciate your feedback, and if you have additional thoughts about the store that you’d like to share, we’ll take them into consideration as we review the design’s impact. You’ll see some of the same design features at the new West Seattle store, but with a different layout to fit the new space. Like Columbia City, there will be plenty of windows on the street-side.
We have received some mixed reviews for the Burien store, it is a big departure from the look of our older locations. The goal for this design was to create a clean and modern back-drop, where the food and our staff can really shine. I believe once the store team has made the space their own, the feel of the store will be much more familiar.
Regarding the comment about us taking a more corporate direction, this is something that has come up as the co-op has grown over the years. Please know that the co-op will always be community-owned, we’ll always be dedicated to our triple-bottom line. We aren’t driven by Wall Street or private investors, but by the values that got us here- including our high product standards, friendly and informed staff, and local roots. When you have a moment, please take a look at our recently published Co-op Purposes report. https://www.pccmarkets.com/co-op-purposes-report-2017/ It gives a good account of our values in action, my favorite part is the interactive map showing store donations to community organizations.”

[EdSane]

I’m not aware of a concrete proposal to enact changes with the current tree removal process… A tree group has put forth a proposal for the council to discuss in August but that to my knowledge isn’t something they’ve directly endorsed. As is, you don’t need a permit unless it’s exceptional, it’s on public land (parking strip) or on an environmentally critical area (e.g. at risk of landslide). That all seems reasonable. We also don’t know if the final recommendation will allow offsetting the tree cutting by planting elsewhere or if anything will be enacted at all.

https://crosscut.com/2018/06/can-seattles-trees-survive-its-boom

[anonyme]

As homeowners do not own trees on the planting strip, regardless of whether or not they planted them, this seems reasonable. This is not a violation of your “property rights” as these trees are not your property. To clarify your **, What you are asking is to have a fixture that is a public resource and of public benefit to be removed for personal reasons. Many, many street trees have been cut down or destroyed by “tree trimmers” or ignorant property owners who think they have the right to chop up anything they don’t like, for any reason, whether they own it or not. Not that the old rules were enforced very well, but I’m guessing that the travesty of the Admiral clearcutting case helped to spur these new regulations.
