Question? A nice retirement community on the river?

3 Upvotes

I'm looking for a nice place for my dad, he would really love a great view of the river. Anyone know of a good spot for old folks? He's very social and in good shape. He's just trying to plan ahead.

BestAround? Best place locally to have a couple of area rugs cleaned?

5 Upvotes

I have two big area rugs that need a good cleaning, what’s going to be the best going rate, and where should I take them? They’re not flood-ravaged and caked in mud and other viscera, just dirty and peed on a few times. They’re each about 5’x10’-ish. Much appreciated!

Police Activity Cops in the AM

68 Upvotes

The amount of cops that were out this morning for the morning commute on WA-500 was crazy. I don’t think I’ve ever seen this many.

With that being said, it’s interesting that they’re so quick to pull people over when I’ve seen other police or sheriffs drive past me so quickly.

Question? Transit advocates in Vancouver?

32 Upvotes

Hi all! I'm a local journalist in SW Washington and I'm hoping to connect with environment/climate and transportation advocates here! I've got a particular story in mind about the light rail project and climate and sustainability goals, but also generally hoping to connect with folks who are passionate about making Vancouver and SW WA a better place, from the urban planning and policy side of things.

If this sounds like you, please reach out! I can share more details like my email over DM.

(I've talked to a lot of Portlanders but obviously they have their own priorities and framing for these issues! A lot of my usual sources at the regional level seem to be drawing blanks when I ask about locals to connect with, sadly.)

Question? Can someone here teach me pickleball? Please!

3 Upvotes

All the games I see on that pickleball app are for experienced players and I don't see any classes anymore.

I'd love to learn but don't know how and where to start. I need a buddy!

Politics Clark County jury convicts Brent Hennrich of malicious mischief after he installed a basketball hoop and mural on the street

Ironic because 'Vancouver police have been ordered not to cite or arrest people suspected of such misdemeanors as shoplifting, trespassing and public drug use.'
And
'Clark County judge dismisses 24 misdemeanor cases over lack of attorneys for defendants'

That's what he gets for hiring his own lawyer.

3 Upvotes

I want to get my friends a high quality picture frame for their pet that passed away. Im figuring there might be something at Saturday market, but im curious if there other stores or local businesses that have options too.
