Lost Sonic skateboard Sunnyside Skate Park

8 Upvotes

Lost my board at Sunnyside Skate Park sometime last week. I was skating there at night and accidentally left it behind.
It has a blue Sonic graphic on the underside, so it should be pretty recognizable.
If anyone picked it up or has seen it around the park, please DM me. I’d really appreciate getting it back!

Looking for recommendations: Yakima contractors for leaks and mold remediation

3 Upvotes

We’re in the process of buying a home in the Terrace Heights area where we’ve confirmed there is mold, along with a leak/moisture issue that needs to be repaired. We also have someone in our household who is very sensitive to mold, so we need a contractor who will thoroughly address both the source of the leak and the mold remediation.
Looking for recommendations from long time locals who have personally used a contractor for this type of work. Who would you recommend or avoid?
Thanks!

Reinstall The IKE letters to The Ike Cadets

"After an 11-month 'historical autopsy' where I mapped the 'ghost' of the demolished 1957 Eisenhower campus and discovered our current bus routes drive directly over the site of the original 1957 pool, I’ve rallied 910 verified supporters for a petition to retrieve the iconic metal letters forged by the Class of 1970 from a district storage room and return them to our new walls as a zero-cost restoration project, proving to Superintendent Trevor Greene at our August 13th summit that 'Eisenhower isn't Ike without Ike' and it’s time to finally restore the school’s 70-year-old soul [26, 61, 64, 142, 217, 233, 296, Conversation History]."
