Anyone in Kirkland dealt with an underground yellow jacket nest? I have two active holes in my yard and they’re aggressive enough that I can’t work in the nearby garden. Any recommendations for someone local to remove them? Rates? Do people actually relocate yellow jackets, or are nests like this normally destroyed? 🐝

Do community garage sales exist around Tacoma? Can we get together one day and sell our stuff?

Feel free to give these scammers a 🖕 if you see their stupid stunt ad. I wouldn't have even known about their lawsuit if they didn't fly a confusing banner that made me Google them. More info: http://archive.today/h8UNC

my partner and I just moved out of our apartment in p square where we spent a lot of time sitting on our windowsill and we would get a lot of people taking pictures of us out there. if anyone here is one of the people who snapped us and are willing to share the photos please let me know! i loved that apartment and will miss it dearly so any mementos of our time there would be lovely :)

Have you ever gotten a health insurance “Explanation of Benefits” and unexpectedly felt a gut punch when you got to the bottom and saw what you owed? That was a first for me. I’d love to hear your thoughts—here’s Shelley's story:

I really want to go to a show at the paramount theater next week, and I would have to get from the theater to the ferry terminal alone, around 10 pm. Figured I could walk a couple blocks, take a bus, walk the last couple blocks and stay away from walking around Pine/Pike and 2nd/3rd. Thoughts? Tips? I know it wouldn't be the safest, but I want a sense of really how unsafe it would be.

We use a digital antenna (rabbit ears style) for our broadcast channels and everything works great except for FOX. We live up near Nike Park. Does anyone have issues with FOX, and has anything weirdly specific worked?

TL;DR: I found what appears to be a very young wild brown bunny alone in my Redmond yard. It appears to be injured: I found blood stains on the kitchen towel it was placed on, and I removed ants that were crawling over it. I cannot locate a nest and do not know whether it is orphaned. I contacted PAWS Wildlife Rehabilitation Center and Footprints Wildlife Rehabilitation Center, but neither can take it. The only wildlife-rehab option I have found so far is Sarvey Wildlife Center in Arlington, about a one-hour drive away. I have temporarily placed the bunny in a box in a safe, quiet, dark spot while trying to get it appropriate help and maximize its odds of survival. Does anyone know of another permitted local wildlife rehabilitator or veterinarian who can help an injured wild rabbit? Long version: I found this young brown bunny in my Redmond yard today. It appears much younger than a typical independent juvenile rabbit, and I have not been able to find a nest nearby. I am especially concerned because it appears injured. There were blood stains on the kitchen towel beneath it, and I carefully freed it from ants that were crawling over it. I have attached a photo for context. So far, I have: • Contacted PAWS Wildlife Rehabilitation Center. • Contacted Footprints Wildlife Rehabilitation Center. • Called several nearby private veterinary clinics. • Learned that the vet clinics I contacted do not have wildlife permits, so they said the only care they could provide would be humane euthanasia. I am not comfortable choosing that option without knowing whether this bunny can be treated or safely reunited with its mother. • Identified Sarvey Wildlife Center in Arlington as the only wildlife-rehabilitation option available to me so far, but it is about a one-hour drive from Redmond. • Temporarily moved the bunny to a box in a safe, quiet, dark location, away from pets, children, noise, and direct sun. • Avoided trying to feed it or give it water, since I do not want to accidentally make its condition worse. I know mother rabbits often do not remain at the nest continuously, and I do not want to interfere unnecessarily. But because this bunny may be injured and had ants on it, I am worried it needs help urgently. If anyone knows a licensed wildlife rehabilitator, rabbit-experienced rescuer, or veterinarian with wildlife credentials in Redmond, the Eastside, or Seattle, I would deeply appreciate a name and phone number. I am not trying to keep it as a pet—I just want it to receive appropriate care and have the best possible chance of survival.

Thanks again to Amy for feeling so strongly that we should all spend more to better protect the environmENT. I wonder if we are getting more or less than the 18% Bellevue got. I wonder if they also had some council members vocally attacking PSE.
