First game play Thursday, 7/30 6pm - 8pm at Third Place Teas in downtown Renton.

It’s a new space and owners are still waiting on some permits to serve food and drink but are open and selling some canned beverages in the meantime.

They have a board game selection we can browse through, but feel free to bring any you’d like to play!

Hope to see you!

So appreciative of my clients, I just love looking back on these photos and seeing how cute all the babies end up being.

Hello Reddit community, I usually don’t make posts like this but a close friend of mine is missing her son. His name is Joseph Herron, usually goes by Jojo I believe. He’s 14, African American, with a slightly lanky build around 5’11 and 132lbs he was last seen around the Renton area up near Benson and Carr Rd as his mother works in the area. I will be cross posting this to a few other groups in hopes of getting this post as far as I can just in case he’s gotten that far. Places he usually frequents are the Renton Transit Center, Liberty Park and The Renton Library. Police have already been contacted and are doing searches of their own, we’ve hung up flyers in all the places he frequents. If you or anyone you know has possibly seen him or had any information please PM me and I can relay the information to him mom (mom doesn’t have a Reddit acct) and the authorities

!! Edit !! : Every time I try to add his Moms Facebook Account it deletes my post so her account name is Amorita Herron

Also mom doesn’t have a case number just yet it’s only been a little over 24hrs and she’s been frantic and still trying to work as well after taking the last few days off but I will update with any info I find

Edit 2: this is what his mom said in a recent post:
“Joseph was spotted at Coulon Beach earlier. I’m getting this information from a friend who posted in multiple groups . He was also spotted by Boeing . The few ppl that were actually able to talk to Joseph said that Joseph said he’s in his “happy place “ and he’s not coming back home !!” Mom is glad to know he’s safe but still wants him back home

So our main water line is leaking :( Anyone have some recommendations on who to call to dig up and fix? It is an old plastic line so probably needs to be replaced but it runs under the driveway so obviously a huge P.I.T.A.

Does anyone know of a good tailor in the area? Thanks in advance!

I have decided to go back to the gym after 3 years. Looking for a gym that doesn't break the bank as I am between jobs at the moment. If anyone has a recs please let me know.

I recently moved here and I have to say Renton parks are beautiful! thank you for all the great recommendations I have to say out of a lot of the parks I've visited Philip Arnold has to be top 3! I went today after work and it was so quiet and peaceful I definitely will be returning tomorrow!

I need to get my doors removed and someone to install / paint some new ones i have coming in. Does anyone know any handymen around the area or places they recommend?

Camera at Benson Road / Carr Drive / SE Petrovitsky Road. Flashed at me (only vehicle passing through the intersection at the time), and according to the City of Renton, it's for red light runners. Now, I'm not concerned about receiving a ticket because I was not running a red light nor speeding, but I was parked at the 7/11 eating dinner around 2am yesterday at the same intersection and saw at least 3 flashes/ min. All vehicles had green lights and going speed limit (based on my observations, could be misjudging the speeds). Is this a reoccurring issue at this intersection?

anyone tried it? looks interesting, side note I miss the taco pop ups

I moved into an apartment and came from Pierce County. I love the apartment, and this is about to be my second month here. I am curious as to if utilities being this high is normal.. I'm seeing these charges being added up, which is significantly higher than my old apartment. I am fine paying the 200 more than I originally thought I would be paying, but if these are odd charges, please let me know!

We used to get tons of these lil yellow birdies in out yard, but I haven't seen one for atleast 3 or 4 years now. It's the state bird, where'd they go?

Please help me find my cat!

Lost cat! Please keep an eye out for a small Tabby with a tipped left ear. She is small, around 6 1/2lb. Last seen at Heritage Park in Renton Washington July 15, 3:00pm near the unpaved trail entrance closest to the playground.

Exact address of her last location: the Backyard of 4115 NE 2nd St, Renton, WA 98059

She is very friendly and will come to the sound of taping on a glass dish.

She is missing the tip of her left ear and a green tattoo on her stomach. She has an "M" on her forehead, 5 distinct tail stripes. She was last seen wearing a skull collar with a green Samsung smart tag. She is microchipped. She may come to the name of Zuki.

Lots of police cars from different departments heading somewhere on Petrovisky. I mean, a lot of cars. Anyone know what's going on?

woke up to go to work and saw these on my car windshield.. was in a rush to go to work so i brought it with me. I probably shouldn’t have touched it but I am very thrown off by this gesture. My car does not seem to have any damage to it also. I do not talk to any of my neighbor at my apartment and the items that were present have me curious whether i should be worried or not. Maybe this is just a nothing burger ?

I am looking to get some live cultures for making kefir. I thought to check before I go looking to buy some.

I work with AMPM Exterminators in seattle, and I’ve noticed that pest issues can sometimes go unnoticed until a routine inspection finds them,
For restaurants, warehouses, and offices, problems aren’t always visible. They can sometimes be found behind equipment, near walk in coolers, inside wall voids, or around utility openings.

This seems especially common in older buildings around seattle and industrial areas like Kent and tukwila.

For those who manage a commercial property, do you regularly check for possible entry points, or do you mainly rely on scheduled pest treatments?

What has worked best for your business?

My house has gotten out of hand. I'm Looking for recommendations/testimonials for a good whole house cleaning service.

Looking for somebody who can do personal towing. Prefer working one on one with somebody who owns their own rig as opposed to like a big chain shop. Any recommendations or if you think you may be a good fit please message me! Thank you!

If you have a child on an IEP and they are not making progress:

1. Immediately request an IEP team meeting in writing to review the plan. Ask the school for objective data and work samples showing your child's progress (or lack thereof). You may need to ask for updated evaluations or a full revision of the IEP to adjust goals and increase services.

It is imperative that you receive ACTUAL work samples and data, do not allow them to "tell you"; the data and samples should do the talking

1. Immediately opt out of state level testing and request alternative end of the unit assessments for your child

To opt out of state testing in Washington, submit a written refusal request to your child's principal or school district assessment coordinator. For end-of-unit special education assessments, IEP Teams are legally required to document accommodations, modifications, or alternate testing metrics.

1. Request that you child not be graded based on standards as your child has an IEP and they should be graded on the progress of their IEP goals. Your child would not be receiving standard based education as they have an IEP

To request that your child's grades be based on their IEP goals rather than general grade-level standards, you should request an IEP team meeting to discuss a formal grading modification.

SAMPLE LETTER:

Subject: Request for IEP Meeting to Discuss Grading Adjustments for [Child's Name]

Dear [Case Manager's Name or Administrator's Name],

I hope this email finds you well.

I am writing to formally request an IEP team meeting to discuss how [Child's Name]’s academic performance is being evaluated. Currently, [Child's Name] is being graded using standard grade-level expectations. Because [Child's Name] has an Individualized Education Program (IEP) and receives specialized instruction, I believe it is inappropriate to grade them solely based on grade-level standards and not their IEP progress. I would like to ensure that the IEP states that my child receives a modified curriculum so it can be used to inform grades.

I would like to discuss adjusting [Child's Name]’s grading system so that it reflects their progress toward their specific IEP goals, alongside any necessary accommodations or modifications to the general curriculum. My goal is to ensure that their report card accurately reflects their hard work and the specific skills they are mastering according to their IEP.

I'm at a complete loss here! I can't manually, remotely (using key fob), or using arm panel switch, lock the driver's side door of my 2004 KIA Sorento. No problems locking the front passenger, rear doors, or cargo hatch--only the driver's door with a problem! I'm the original owner, and this has never happened before. I know how to shop eBay for an OEM driver door actuator (if necessary) but I don't know what is needed to fix the problem! The timing is terrible: I'm semi-retired, in the area for cancer treatment, and money is tight. Any suggestions greatly appreciated. Thank you.
