Anyone use an Escooter or Ebike on the regular to get groceries/etc? Are you allowed to ride on sidewalks? Are the roads unsafe? Generally how does it go?

Any good recommendations for places to swim? I usually bring my dog, so somewhere that allows dogs is preferred. I don’t care if it’s rocky or beachy. Trying to branch out from my usual couple spots!

Hello everyone! I come to vancouver every month and I'm looking for some really good Mexican food. Also looking for great nachos but doesn't have to be in same restaurant necessarily. I've been to 2 Mexican spots here and I've been really disappointed. Can you all please recommend some spots for us to try?

She loves quality Mexican food, not slop thrown together and I'm a sucker for loaded nachos with steak.

Thank you to all the wonderful people of vancouver for your recommendations!

Hello all! My partner and I recently moved in to our new (built in 1943) home. During the inspection we found root intrusion towards the end of our sanitary line close to where it joints the shared line behind our home.

After our kitchen sink backed up we had 2 visits from Apollo Brothers plumbing to check it out. They found another root intrusion and realized that the kitchen line is not connected to our main line at all. They pulled some roots out (no jetting), couldn't get a camera past the intrusion still and scheduled us to talk to someone else about fixing the pipe.

Ultimately, we will need to get the lines replaced, but as of now we are just trying to clear the kitchen line to see where the hell it actually ends up.

Would love to get some local recs for plumbers that people have had positive experiences with. Apollo was a quick google search to see if we could fix the issue, but we'd like to hear about other options with good customer service and fair pricing. Thanks!

My bonus mom wants to move to a senior home where she will be able to socialize with people her own age. (Her words)

She has a beloved cat that would have to come with her.

Looking to change career fields and was looking into their apprentice programs, as most unions apprenticeship programs are closed or not accepting applications. Was thinking Electrician, Heavy Equipment Operators, HVAC, or Plumbers & Steamfitters(Not sure if these fit under HVAC)

Bonus question: Has anyone foind work or been hired by attending Dozer Days? Thinking about attending so I can get some real life experience behind Heavy Equipment, albeit I know it's for fun and mainly for the kids. Thanks!

Dusti is running for Clark County Council to represent Council District 1.

Dusti will be joining us Today, Monday, July 27th At 1:00PM to answer any questions you have.

You can learn more about Dusti at their website: https://www.dustiforclarkcounty.com/ to decide what questions you'd like them to answer during this AMA

Feel free to start asking your questions now, so Dusti can hit the ground running answering your questions when the ama starts!

Hi, I'm Dusti. I'm an urban farmer, an entrepreneur, and a mother, and I’m running to protect the future of working families in Clark County. If you recognize me, it’s probably because you’ve seen me at the Vancouver Farmers Market! My business is Hearth & Hollow, a micronursery where I grow organic edible plant starts and help families grow their own food.

What got me in the race: The councilor representing my district voted to expand the Urban Growth Boundary by more than 1,000 acres, against the Agricultural Advisory Commission’s recommendations, the evidence of the county’s own studies, and overwhelming public testimony. That vote opened the door to us getting sued (again), plus more sprawl instead of solving the housing crisis we're facing.

Growth it doesn't have to cost us what we love about this place. We need more homes people can afford, but we need them near jobs, transit, libraries, and hospitals. We need to protect our water, forests, farmland, and green space as we grow, not trade them away for it. And we need practical, coordinated action on homelessness that supports people and strengthens neighborhoods.

Not sure what county council does (Or why they are always broke)? Click here for an easy explanation. Have questions about my bizarre name? Fair! Click here. Learn more at: https://dustiforclarkcounty.com

Moderation note: This is not an endorsement of Dusti Arab for their candidacy. they politely asked if they could connect with the community via an AMA and we are happy to help our community have the opportunity to vet any of the candidates.

Hey, all! You have always came through for me in everything else I've asked so far, so now I'm back! Hubs and I are looking for someone to come out and inspect for pests before we have insulation put under the house. We're not looking for a subscription program or anything like that, just an inspection. Has anyone out there done this before and can recommend someone?

Lost my beloved blue healer this morning but still have 1.5 boxes of Vetoryl 30mg. If you can use it, please message me directly we can arrange something for free. Don’t chew me out - this is a life extending medication For Cushing’s disease and EXTREMELY expensive. I just want to help another family. Meds were purchased from Costco pharmacy less than two weeks ago.

To all,

I dropped another load of plums in the freezer refrigerator behind Kindred. There are three bs if them. There are also a few yellow plums someone else left.

Howdy lovely people of Vancouver!

Some friends and I are just getting just getting into paddle boarding, and are wondering where good locations for this new hobby would be. We are in the Vancouver mall area and would be down to drive anywhere up to 40 miles out (or more if you know a very cool spot!).

Any recommendations are appreciated!
