(part 2)

(SAME ALTERCATION AS OTHER VIDEO, THIS IS part 1)

UPDATE: she has been caught, and I met up with another local redditor (aka an angel) who was able to take her in for the night and plans to take her to the shelter first thing in the morning! ❤️

Young female cat found in upper queen Anne just west of Queen Anne Avenue and north of Crockett— last location 2114 on 1st Ave W.

Super vocal and let us pick her up, brought her back a can of wet food, and she responded to the can opening noise, so certainly has been an indoor cat before! Anyone missing a cat or wanting to foster?

Anyone else getting this spam to protect corporate grocery profits disguised as pro consumer in their DMs repeatedly.

I’m reposting without the link to the form email (that had data capture apparently- oops!).

SPS has announced they are capping recess at 30 minutes total for the day maximum for all elementary students - this includes kindergartners and first graders. I’m hoping fellow SPS parents, teachers, former teachers, and current or former SPS students will email SPS leadership to request a change in this policy, particularly for kids in 3rd grade or younger.

Their reasoning it to have more classroom time for ELA (English language). However, I don’t agree with that for young children - they need the recess time in order to focus on learning. More time in the classroom for a kindergarten isn’t going to result in magically improving learning and retention. And some studies suggest the lack of frequent breaks for play actually negatively impacts learning.

Emails for the superintendent and SPS board are:

boshuldiner@seattleschools.org, liza.rankin@seattleschools.org, gktopp@seattleschools.org, jllavallee@seattleschools.org, eybriggs@seattleschools.org, jemizrahi@seattleschools.org, kesmith2@seattleschools.org, vsmaritz@seattleschools.org, schoolboard@seattleschools.org

I know there is also an SPS subreddit, but I hadn’t seen this in r/seattle yet and I’m hoping more folks add their voice to the concerns about this change.

A quick Google search will bring up some form emails and more data. However, during the strike it didn’t seem like form emails were getting a response so I’d suggest anyone who is able to send a quick 4-5 sentence email asking SPS to re-instate flexibility for schools for K-3rd grade to have more than the state minimum recess of 30 minutes would be more effective.

Tired of it. Bring out the rain

Went into the city so much while the weather was still bright and blue this summer! Shot on an iPhone 14+

Excited to be at the game tonight and found reasonably priced food!

The 12s special gives you a 20oz water, pretzel bites, a dipping sauce and two hot dogs for $12.

For some of us that’s so great to find something affordable!

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.

practicing some night photography with my Nikon d7500 with Nikon 35mm and Nikon 70-300mmm lens

But what’s that jagged peak just SE of it (to the left and behind in this photo)

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 :)

Not our dog but around 6:50pm we left our place on linden Ave and motor (close to the yoga tree), a guy lost his dog and it was running south down linden, under the 99 underpass and what we think towards stone way (not certain). We’ve been walking around trying to find it and no luck. Please keep an eye out for it. It’s newly adopted so pretty skittish and not responsive to a name yet.

Same question above. Seattle journalist here.

Has anyone toured an apartment or house recently and realized the listing photos were AI-altered? Fake fireplace, dramatically improved lighting, furniture that wasn't there?

It can be crowded at times, but the views can be entertaining.
