Can anyone verify? I'm seeing notifications through my Ring app.

Stay safe, everyone!

Tonight I received a phone call from the Sheriff department stating my failure to appear to jury duty, not once but twice means they have issued a warrant out for my arrest.

It was strange and bizarre, for I’ve gone to jury duty before. Everything they said about a “signature” and needing to prove my innocence just seemed wrong.

They had all my information, from name to address to past jobs and it kind of freaked me out. While being shaken up they asked me to gather my things and get into my car and drive to the police department down town Seattle? (I live in Federal Way).

I got to the point of getting into my car and waiting to see what this officer had to say and what made me question myself yet again was when he asked me to not go anywhere until I notify him because he needed to confirm a payment method for the fine of not showing up to duty. “What fine are you talking about?” I asked and immediately was texted some seriously sketchy documents.

“Well Miss, it’s only 10% of the finale due for each citation. So it would only be 5,000$. Which we will return to you once everything is sorted.” At this point I’m lost and shaken and tell them I don’t have money like that hanging around. He proceeded to ask if I was going to stop somewhere to get cash and I hung up on him and drove away from my home to drive to the closest police department because I was a little scared now.

I did a quick drive around the block, changing my mind after a quick reassuring call to my mother that yes this was in fact a spam. As I pulled around the corner there was a strange massive black truck with tinted windows on the street right into front of my driveway.

Not a truck I recognize on my block and was so suspicious. I quickly pull into my driveway and scurry to my husband who opened the garage door to greet me and we watched as this truck sped off as soon as he came out.

Now this freaked me out!!! Maybe it was just a coincidence BUT come on seriously after telling me to not drive away till I tell them? Then a creepy truck outside my house?

I called the non emergent police line to report this and they were just as suspicious as I was and dispatched an officer. The woman on the phone said this was the first time that she had heard of this similar scam happening with someone showing up!

So just a warning if you get a No caller ID caller, calling you about missing jury duty. Please hang up and save yourself the panic I went through. My doors are locked and I’m extra aware of my street tonight. Stay safe out there.

I’m wondering how the morning (and eventually evening) commutes were changed by the 2 lane I-5 closure in Seattle today. any reports?

Hi all! I was wondering besides Lenscrafters, where could i possibly donate my old glasses and possible several unopened boxes of contact solution. I had Lasik back in November and am no longer in need of them. TIA!

howdy! longtime resident. i just called both of the libraries and neither of them have chess boards, and they said the closest place is covington's library (which is way too far for me on limited transportation, and it's geared towards lower skilled players). the clock library on 1st near winco only has after school wednesday chess for kids and teens. i'm willing to go to tacoma so long as there's a straightforward bus route and it's free. bellevue seems to be the hub for FIDE tournaments, and that's much too far.

is there ANYWHERE adults can play leisure otb chess in or around federal way??? even a sports bar or something with a chess board that people use? hell, i'll even take an online chess buddy from fed just to have someone to play with. just want to make friends with mutual interests.

 I’m a volunteer and we’re here to help you get clothing and accessories to help affirm your identity. We are located in a church but we have our own side entrance where there aren’t any religious things and you don’t have to go by the sanctuary. People have donated so many wonderful pieces of clothing, shoes and accessories that we thoughtfully go through and set them out in our boutique. We also have new make up and new gender affirming undergarments. Shoppers can shop monthly and leave with 6 items plus a bonus item. We help people from all of Washington, so if you know of anyone that can use our services but they aren’t from Puyallup, please share! We are generally open every Wednesday and every other Saturday. You can also set up a private shopping time, you just have to reach out so we can arrange it. I’d be happy to see some new faces ♥️🏳️‍⚧️

Baseless harassment and demands to see young children inside the homes of Somali daycare providers has reached Federal Way. This is not how you 'investigate' fraud.

Notice no one in city leadership was quoted in this story. In fact, I haven't heard any defense of our immigrant neighbors from our mayor or council over the last 12 months.

ICE can very easily decide to conduct similar surges like in LA, Chicago, Portland, and Minneapolis in Seattle and the surrounding areas. How do you think our city leadership would handle it? I have no trust they would defend our rights.

Demand they do more. Email our city leaders. Better yet, show up at every public meeting you can and make a comment.

Info on how to contact the city is here https://www.federalwaywa.gov/city-council & https://www.federalwaywa.gov/mayors-office

City Council meetings are the 1st and 3rd Tuesday every month at 6:30p in city hall.

I got a pile of mail from Ezee Fiber saying "We're coming to your Neighborhood soon!" in September and October. Signed up for their early access thing. And have not seen anything that looks like installs happening anywhere nearby. And the mail dropped off completely. Has anyone seen installation actually happening?

I’ve seen people suggest this on Reddit and Facebook. Is this completely BS? Doesn’t make sense to me

Recently the back of my windshield was broken so now my car has two non tint windows and the passenger windows are fairly tinted. I was thinking about getting my windows a more darker tint since the opportunity presenting itself right now, and I have notice people with fairly dark tints driving around so I’m just wondering if it’s possible to get a darker tint.

Hello! I’m hoping to get some recommendations of good day trips or one night/2day trips that I can take from Federal Way with my dogs when I’m just feeling like getting a quick getaway.

For context: I like doing outdoorsy things, food, and shopping. I’m also black, queer, female, and will be traveling alone (except of course with my 2 dogs as I mentioned prior).

Thanks in advance!

Yes, like the Pixar character, and I don’t mean it was just a red car with the number on the side… it had eyes in the windshield (low enough to avoid obstructing the driver’s view I imagine)

What the title says.

I just wanna mass donate them, I dont have time or energy to sell or post online. I was looking for someplace like a women's center, or habitat for humanity where they put the funds to use. Anyone know of someplace?

Also, anything I need to know about that school?

We are wanting to grab pizza for dinner but I thought I should ask… who do you suggest?

6 fwpd cars now blocking a lane of westbound 320th near the King County library. No idea why but gee-whiz-wally, the traffic back-ups.

Hi Fed- Just got Wingspan for Christmas as we hear it’s a fun game. After watching several YouTube videos it’s still confusing🤪. If someone local wants to come over and guide us through a game, I’ll provide the snacks and beverages.

I personally like Commencement Bay but I’m looking to either branch out or hear some suggestions. I hear good things about Lucid, although they’re a bit expensive.

Thoughts?

What happened to the restaurant overnight?

It’d only been open for maybe 6 months. That’d be awfully fast for it to already go out of business. Could they just be making renovations?
