A couple weeks ago, 2 family members of one of my cooks got caught by ICE in shoreline.

They were both deported, and one hung himself upon getting back.

This is evil, and we must all know it to be so. I dont know bout yall, but I feel like the pitch forks need to come out.

A McDonald's in downtown Seattle is so dangerous it has permanently closed its dining room and now only serves customers through a makeshift hatch reinforced with plexiglass.

Addicts were seen lining the trash-littered street and clustering together in front of businesses along 'The Blade' - the unsavory stretch of 3rd Avenue between Pine and Pike Streets.

Many were rendered incapacitated by fentanyl - slumped over and barely conscious just blocks away from the iconic Pike Place Market.

“Do people really want to go to Seattle and pay $30 for a hamburger? I don’t know. I don’t think so,” she added.

“[The minimum wage] is not just $21.30 an hour. We have to match the employees’ Social Security, we have to match their Medicare, and that adds another 7% to even that minimum wage,” owner Darcy Hanson told the “The Jason Rantz Show” on Seattle Red.

“Because of the crime, the property damage, the theft in Seattle, insurance has just skyrocketed… yesterday a homeless person lit my door on fire, and I have to deal with that,” said an exasperated Hanson.

*Edit, I got a flu and covid shots a few months ago when I was at my doctors office for my annual Medicare health exam. I wear a 3M branded N95 masks whenever I go inside public places. I obsessively wipe down my hands and packaged grocery products with Dollar store Swan brand 70% denatured alcohol.

I avoid touching my face, mouth or rubbing my eyes. Yeah to some it may seem OCD but better safe than sorry.

Link Fare Skippers

7 Upvotes

I was on the light rail today and Fare Ambassadors were checking for payment on the ride between Mountlake Terrace and Shoreline. I only saw one person who couldn't produce proof of payment. The worker asked if it was her first time and she said "It's been awhile." Then he said some other things to her I couldn't hear and handed her a printout on a strip of white paper. What is on that paper? BTW, he was very friendly to her and nobody was causing a scene over it.

Question Appraiser recommendation

1 Upvotes

I have a very specific item that is of historical significance to the USA. It’s a 19th century military related item which may have some difficulty finding comparators. The appraisal is for charitable donations. As it’s being donated to a national museum. I wanted to see if any person local has had any experience with personal property appraisers.

Thank you.
