According to the union, over 70% of residents at the three buildings have signed on. While no law requires landlords to recognize or bargain with tenants in a union, there's a growing movement around the city to organize places of residence. The Wright Park Tenant Union is asking for no rent increases or evictions for the first 12 months of the new ownership, guaranteed units for tenants who have been in any of the buildings for more than five years, no breed restrictions on pets, a host of repairs, and policies on maintenance. ~ Read the list of demands. A year without a rent hike and some repairs. It took organizing three buildings to get that on the table.

I was walking my elderly small dog down NW 20th this evening with my partner when a man absorbed in his phone walked toward us, with his standard poodle and husky. I could see the husky staring us down as we got closer so I pulled my leash short and veered toward the other side of the sidewalk. Unfortunately, both dogs lunged at us and this very distracted man had no idea what was going on until they jumped the full length of their leashes. His dogs very made contact with us, and I was pressed all the way up against a car on the side of the street. Both my partner and I put our bodies between his dogs and our dog in an attempt to prevent an attack. This man then proceeded to chastise us for “sneaking up on him” because “not all dogs are friendly.” Mind you, we’d been in his sight for the length of most of a city block, if he’d just glanced up from his phone. I immediately called him out for his carelessness and lack of attention to his own dogs. He proceeded to cuss me out as he hustled away. I have a ton of sympathy for the challenge that is reactive dog ownership, but there’s no excuse for letting your two big dogs lunge at a stranger when you can’t control them. It’s obvious this has happened to him before, and he’s made no moves to be be more attentive when walking his dogs around the neighborhood. So, PSA: If you see a bearded man with a standard poodle and a husky walking around Ballard, cross the street or, I guess, clap your hands and wave to be sure he knows you‘re there.

Hey everyone! We will be getting married in Mt. Rainier and spending a few days visiting the park. We would also like to stay in Seattle for a few days to see everything a typical tourist would, while being mid to higher end to make the last bit of our wedding celebration special.

I was just wondering if there's any community bands in the Everett area? I particularly would like to participate in jazz (I play trumpet). I am about to attend Everett Community College, and would like to continue playing.

I’m relatively new to Seattle and moved to the Denny Triangle area. I actually like where I live, but feel kind of trapped. And I feel like it’s some combination of human behavior and urban planning. For whatever reason, crossing I-5 to go east feels like a chore, even though it really isn’t that bad by car. Going south means driving through downtown/the busier parts of the city, which I also tend to avoid. So I’ve noticed that I almost always end up going north toward Queen Anne, Fremont, etc. to do all my errands. Cap Hill, Central District, and U-District are all pretty close but somehow feel too inconvenient to visit regularly. I’m wondering if this is actually a human behavior thing, like how highways, bridges, hills, the water, etc. can create these psychological boundaries where somewhere feels much farther away or more inconvenient than it actually is. Like on a map Capitol Hill really isn’t far from me at all, but mentally crossing I-5 and climbing all the hills somehow feels like I’m going to a completely different part of the city. I was also house sitting in Magnolia last week, and getting to Cap Hill felt like a chore. I feel like I’ve unintentionally created this little mental map where north = easy, east = annoying, and south = stressful Does anyone else experience Seattle this way? Or have certain parts of the city that feel weirdly “cut off” from where you live even though they’re objectively close? Like I said I’m new to Seattle, so maybe I haven’t adjusted to the geography yet. But I just found this interesting because I never felt like this in other cities I’ve lived.

My 6 year old who has autism sprung an idea on me after I picked him up from school today "Dad let's use the 3D printer at the library!" Oh.. um ok we can try to figure that out bud. My wife who is out of town says they haven't done it before but you sign up online. I made the appointment online for an hour not realizing it would take me an hour to figure out how to use a 3D printer. The nicest lady next to me using the other 3D printer could tell I was struggling and kindly guided me through the process (I'm terrible at following instructions on paper). I finally got to the point where our little cat was 3D printing and a few minutes later the librarian came in saying "Ummm yeah it's not supposed to be printing like that we need to stop it, and your time is almost up". Ok no problem I should've prepared better, not the end of the world. I could tell my son was really disappointed but he was surprisingly understanding that it didn't work out. ​We went to read some books and color, and then left. As we were leaving, the other nice lady with Laurie came out to the parking lot and said "Hey you guys can have this cat Laurie printed out earlier" and it was this really cool purple/blue cat. It made my sons day. He's still playing with it. He's so excited to bring it to school tomorrow to show his friend who he was talking about 3D printing with. The boys said thank you to Lauries friend who gave them the cat but I didn't get a chance to go back into the library to thank her because the boys were clamoring to get in the car. It's the small gestures of kindness that can completely turn people's day around. In the current state of the world, be a Laurie.

Does the City of Tacoma ticket and tow cars with expired tags on public roads? Curious since I see so many cars with expired tags, not just a couple of months! Guessing this a parking patrol job?

Heya. I run a trans/queer combat sports group that focuses on the 8th-11th century. As the weather turns, we can't be practicing on bad ground, or without coverage since our equipment rusts easily. Normally our group just trains in various parks, but as we've gotten more people, the normal overhead shelters are no longer large enough to contain us (can get a dozen plus people per practice), and we need to look for a proper indoor venue that is willing to either lent us or let us rent their space. Ideally a 20X20 or larger. The biggest issue is our budget is extremely small (It's coming out of our pockets), so that limits us from the community center n the like. Y'all have any suggestions?
