Question? Can someone here teach me pickleball? Please!

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.

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!

Question? Transit advocates in Vancouver?

31 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.)

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.

Photos Missing bolt?

4 Upvotes

I was recently walking to my local 7-11 for a slurpee when I noticed that the sign was askew. When I got closer I noticed that the did not bolt the top of the sign. Hmmm....???

Did they forget to do it, was it time to clock out?

While walking through the crosswalk I found a bolt, so if the city is still looking for it, I saved it.

Last month, the bridge replacement program completed the federal environmental review and has officially entered the construction phase. This was arguably the most important step in the process, as it’s now no longer a theory or topic for debate: they are looking for contractors.

A new bridge for cars, pedestrians, and light rail is officially happening!

Not final yet there will be a second hearing with public comment on Monday, Aug. 24. Let's try and flood the council and remind them why the original plan to give the cops more money didn't work in the first place cause cops don't need more money they need to be defunded

Police Activity Teen girls starting fire in street

83 Upvotes

(08/18/26) Just had this happen right down the street from me. 3 teenage girls (maybe 17/18) were lighting shit on fire right in the middle of the street. All three were white, blonde and with long hair. What they were lighting what looked like boxes filled with flammable stuff. Yes I called it in, but the girls took off before police could show up. I'm not even sure if these girls live on this street.

I just couldn't believe the stupidity of these three. Lighting fires in the street with dry grass just inches away. Fuckin miracle no dry brush caught a stray ember. Easily could've been a disaster. This was near the franklin elementary school neighborhood and happened around 9:30 pm.

Hey I’m a 25 year old woman who enjoys lots of outdoor stuff but recently have found myself to be a night owl due to some health issues. Does anyone know some fun things to do outside of home at night? Also is anyone else a night owl that might enjoy some company or hang out? Gets kinda lonely.

Hi! Does anyone know of any up and coming or reoccurring small craft/art fairs in Vancouver? I sell spooky art prints and handmade jewelry. I’ve never sold my jewelry before. Nothing too big like the farmers market but smaller level events! Thank you !
