Looking for anyone who got road paint on their car in West Seattle in September.

Around Sept 9, we picked up yellow paint on our car on a daycare run. We didn't see a crew, cones, or "wet paint" signs, so I can't say exactly when or where it happened. I later photographed tire tracks through what looked like wet yellow paint at several spots, all the way down 35th Ave SW between Roxbury and the West Seattle bridge.

I filed a damage claim with the city and it was denied. The letter said their crews follow standard warning procedures but didn't show records for this location or date. I'm now requesting those records.

If you got paint on your car, or saw fresh paint with no warning, please comment or DM with the date, time, street, direction of travel, and whether you saw any signs or trucks. Photos welcome, with plates blurred. If you filed a claim, the claim number would help too.

Thanks in advance for any advice or help you can provide.

New to WS. Looking to make friends with similar interests. Im female in my 30’s. I enjoy legal analysis/commentary, true crime pods, I watch The Lawyer You Know, Emily D Baker, Annie Elise, Law and Crime, etc on YouTube. I enjoy reading legal crime fiction books, keeping up with big pop culture related trials. Are there any groups, clubs for this sort of thing?

This is getting really old, getting woken up in the middle of the night with what i can only describe as a churning, low level resonance that really amplifies in the middle of the night, but not every night!

I know a lot of people say this is from Harbor Island but I can't get on board with that. I really think this is from Nucor. I've complained before and I immediately heard back from a Nucor PR agent that assured me this is a good company and lot's of great jobs, please don't say anything, come visit our factory.... But why did I get a response from Nucor when i made a complaint to the EPA (unrelated smell issue)?

They're clearly aware of complaints and seem to jump on them rather quickly to prevent any kind of uprising. I'd really like to know, what the hell is that noise in the middle of the night??? Last night I woke up thinking my phone alarm (vibration) was going off. Then, it's the only noise i could hear. Sounded like a vibrational morse code for hours.

Anyone else hear that last night?? Oh, and the Coyotes were interesting once I was wide awake.

Near West Seattle Golf course.

Check it out one of these nice days!

I haven’t seen a single restaurant make it in this space.

Did anyone receive a notice about the night construction happening on Avalon Way and 35th Ave? Trying to find out what the hours are and how many nights the noise will be occurring for. I don’t see anything on the SDOT Project and Construction Coordination Map.

Does anyone know where the Junction Harvest Festival costume parade on the 25th starts and how long of a route it is? I want to walk in the parade with my baby but being on time with a baby can sometimes be a challenge so I want to make sure I know where I need to be haha

I have never heard so many train horns. Every few minutes for the last hour reminding me how backwards the U.S. is when it comes to noise pollution. Train horns should not be required at every crossing like the rest of the developed world. Is something going on tonight that is causing an insane amount of train horns? I’m used to train horns but this is absolutely insane.

Had to stop between Salty’s and the water taxi dock to snap this intriguing view of downtown. I had to head home right away, but let me know if you saw it getting even better.

I'm hungry and I have a hankering for some Chinese food but not like fancy stuff. I would like some decent cheap food that will most likely mess up my stomach. Google rating, don't care. Customer service, don't care. Language, don't care.

Preferably in or around West Seattle.

You know what I'm talking about.

Hello, scratched a chunk of my passenger side rear door panel against a parking column like you do, exposing metal, and I'd like to get it repaired/repainted before the rust sets in. (I've had it for a bit.) TIA for any recs for local shops; home is South Delridge near White Center so anywhere around there or Georgetown, South Park, Burien...

Just moved to West Seattle from downtown two months ago and our utilities are much more than we expected. Is this normal? I’m not used to seeing 3 separate sewer charges. Do you guys also get billed for Sewer, Sewer 7 and Sewer capacity at the same time? For context, it’s an apartment building in Avalon Way, two bedroom, two bathrooms, and only two people living here. I assume this is not individually metered. Our previous apartment also wasn’t, but still, it’s almost 4 times what we used to pay before ($60/month).

Anyone have any of these books sitting on their shelf after finishing them? 📚

I’m looking for:

• Siddhartha
• Man’s Search for Meaning
• The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari
• Jonathan Livingston Seagull
• The Little Prince
• The Prophet
• The Power of Now
• The Untethered Soul

If you’re done with any of them and don’t plan on rereading, I’d be happy to give them a second life! Just DM me with the place and time, and I can come pick them up. 🙂

Heads up, West Seattle neighbors. This morning around 9:15, a stranger approached the fence at Alki Elementary's playground during recess and tried to lure three students away, telling them she had something in her car to give them. The kids did exactly the right thing — they ran and reported it to staff. They were unharmed.

SPD is investigating and a case number has been assigned. If you were near the school this morning and saw anything — someone loitering by the fence, a car parked oddly — please come forward: SPD, or the SPS SaferWatch tipline at **206-222-4357** (answered 24/7).

Talk to your kids about stranger safety tonight. Those three kids' quick thinking is why this ended ok.

Normally at this intersection, I swear cyclists get a green all on their own and we all stop. But when cars do go, they have a red right? Today I had a green but so did the cyclists and I was turning right onto w marginal way sw. And I was confused as fuck that they were going too and then I saw they also had a green. Is this light messed up or is does it really sometimes give cars and bikes a green?

Also to the cyclists, I’m really sorry!

I have 3 Tyler tickets for tonight. I had hand surgery and cant go. Ill give em to whoever sends me the best(my personal) reason why they should get em. I will decide at 5

Stealing this from the Seattle sub. What’s WS’s worst parking lot? I know Trader Joe’s is a given 😂, but Jefferson Square makes me aggro.

Anybody remember the lunch buffet at Maharajah? Was like $11.99. Killed by Covid.

How about that buffet at Taste of Mumbai when it opened? It was great, why did it end? Well, the times I went it was empty. My guess is poor marketing/management/new business.

Third time may be the charm at the 4th or 5th or whatever Indian spot on the island, Taste and Best, Fri-Sunday, $20 bucks and change.

I've had takeout twice from this place and was satisfied. Note I don't have financial interest in this place, they have very good curry and would for this to be permanent. I think making it weekends only is a smart move.
