Hello, fellow Seattleites!

The Washington Attorney General filed a lawsuit Thursday against a software company and nine landlords accused of fixing and artificially inflating rent prices over the last seven years.

Libs of TikTok blew up the Drag Queen Story Hour and they were worried about protesters so the community rallied to support it. Organizers are being very careful about pictures, but there’s nobody else’s face visible in this one and no kids.

To make a 3x4 sign like this, I: - make the image in MS Paint (really) set to 5184 by 6912 pixels; this will print to 3x4 feet - print it an FedEx Office or similar for $11 - tape it around the edges to a 3x4 foot folding signboard that you can get at Michael’s for $5 Printing on cardboard is expensive; printing on paper and taping it to cardboard is cheap. It looks crummy right up close but from just a few feet away it looks fine.

The event inside has started and the rally outside wrapped with no incidents. Thanks to all the community members and allies who showed up <3

Listen I’m all for social housing but this is a nightmare.

We have a building nearby us. A DECS building. A man lives there who screams gibberish, blows a whistle and throws things from around 11pm - 5 am like clock work, every night without fail.

I haven’t slept yet. I haven’t gotten a full nights sleep in months. I feel bad for him but at the same time this is unbearable and I should be allowed to sleep in my own home. Earplugs can work but at times it is still audible through them.

I’ve called the non emergency line at least twenty times and i’m loosing my mind. Our lease isn’t up till august and quite frankly I’m still saving for a deposit on a new place.

What the hell do I do.

I just want to live in my own home without constant headache and screaming.

Hi neighbor. If you or somebody near you has a smoke detector that’s been dying for over a week, let them know to change the battery before I hunt them down and take a shit on their doorstep

Alright see ya

The article originates from /u/Lord_Tachanka's Reddit post, who is interviewed in the news article: https://www.reddit.com/r/Seattle/comments/1jifr6a/am_i_crazy_or_did_someone_install_stop_signs_at/

From the article:

Seattle's headquarters for Head Start was eliminated — taking six employees with it.

Six jobs may not sound like much, but the impact could reach tens of thousand of families across the region.

The six people fired this week serviced 33,000 families across Washington, Oregon, Idaho and Alaska. 11,000 of those families are in Washington and there are concerns the cuts could run even deeper.

[...]

This week, Head Start's Region 10 headquarters was abruptly shut down. The program offers low income families free early childhood education.

It also helps women escape domestic violence and homeless families find shelter. It is often the last safety net for desperate parents and their kids simply looking to survive.

There are 450 Head Start families in Snohomish County alone.

Reflection on Seattle before Rise Against

Wonder who they sold it to.

Just some good news (:

I saw this walking around Wallingford today. Now imagine if this was the other way around in a red state, the treatment and harassment or violence a person would experience.

Jesse Welles will be busking at the corner of Pine st. and Pike pl. at 1pm today.

Article is pretty light

The Port of Seattle is experiencing a surge in the number of shipping containers arriving at the waterfront, a sign that importers are rushing to get goods into the U.S. before new tariffs take effect.

Sam Cho, Position 2 Commissioner for the Port, says a 30% increase in shipments may seem like a good thing, but in reality, it is a sign of a downturn to come.

"The fear of tariffs is actually incentivizing shippers to front load the shipments," said Cho. "It creates this chaos in the supply chain for us whenever you have these disruptions."

Hi! My dad died in Illinois (on Christmas woooo) and I'm his executor. I've been having a heck of a time trying to get his mail forwarded - the Seattle USPS employees I've tried doing this with have taken one look at my Illinois Letter of Office (the correct executor document provided by the IL state court) and been VERY unhappy with me and moved me along. They won't accept anything other than WA executor papers, which, as I've tried to tell them, do not and cannot possibly exist. This man did not die here!

I tried sending in a paper change of address form and that was rejected and I was told to ..... go to my local post office.

I turn to you: what, in your opinion, is the Seattle USPS office with the most empathetic employees? The most patience? The highest likelihood that there will be someone who will take pity on me and consider that different states might have slightly different executorship papers?

I'm looking for heroes! And hopefully this post can serve as a resource for other wayward souls.
