Several police cars have been there for a hour. No lights or sirens, and quiet.

Hey everyone! Where do you all like to shop for groceries when trying to save money? I went to town & country and I was in awe. One bag of produce/groceries and I was out the door $110. I used to live in Tumwater and my groceries there were less than half weekly. Any suggestions?

Please be nice I just moved here trying to get my bearings

Needs suggestion

Working on getting the evaluations to get my three year old in Edwin Pratt for SE preschool due to speech delay and maybe some mild divergent behavior.

I have two questions, anyone like to he school and how was the process to get them into the school?

Our school district is heading towards a severe budget deficit and the board is considering closing a school as their first option to combat this (this should be the very last option!) Closing a school would only account for 6-12% savings of total shortfall. There has been no strong communication by the board or closure taskforce on how they plan to make up the other 88-94% (7-7.5 million dollars!) of the deficit.

You can read more about this issue from the district perspective here: https://www.ssd412.org/about-us/district-planning-initiatives/school-capacity-review-and-closure-consideration)

You can sign this petition in support of halting the closing of a school or discussions of such until it is clear this is the only option AND/OR the district communicates plans to cover the other 88-94% part of the deficit, before uprooting children and communities: https://www.change.org/p/save-all-shoreline-schools

You can hear more about this issue from this new advocacy group with Shoreline and Lake Forest Park area parents and community members on this Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/share/g/yx7qatzm4aUkmKz7/?mibextid=K35XfP

I would like to point out 2 things in particular on this issue (more can be found on some posts in the Facebook group):

1. Two of the schools still in consideration for closure house the at-risk and historically marginalized populations of our elementery Special Education Program (at Highland Terrace) and the Behavioral Learning Support program (at Syre.)

I find this especially egregious because last year the district chose to request the legislature to bypass special education when post McCleary funds were released. They asked not to use those funds toward special education. The district/board also chose to eliminate 50 para positions that largely supported these 2 programs as well as the most vulnerable children for learning and behavioral issues across the district schools.

Moving these programs would be detrimental to the progress students have made in these programs, the relationships they and their parents have built with educators, and would negate the engrained culture and training that has been done for many years by all students, staff, and teachers at Syre & Highland Terrace towards embracing these kids and integrating them with other children in the schools' communities. Moving either of these programs to a new school would require extra moving costs for facility retrofitting and teacher/staff/student training and professional development.

2. This is not just an issue of 1 school closure, it is ALSO a district/school boundary issue. The district plans to redraw the boundary lines for ALL schools (K-12) and the task force WILL be making proposals for the redrawn lines tomorrow night 10/15 (that has been on their tasked agenda from the start.) Just today the district requested applications for a new committee on redrawing the boundaries as well.

The boundary line reworkings to close 1 school will effect students across all the grades, K-12. Many kids across elementary schools, middle schools and highschools will be moved to new schools to accomodate this. If your property is already close to a boundary borderline your kids will likely be moving to new schools.

Thanks for reading this far and thank you for any advocacy work, letter writing, petition signing you are willing to do towards this issue.

So... Parking lot is already at capacity during the week and then there's the huge apartment complex next to the station that's under construction with no parking lot that I can see. If I lived there I would absolutely take advantage of the free parking. Maybe the idea is that people who are not so car dependent will live there

Checking in to see if anyone has experience with the garage filling up and how early in the morning I would need to get there for a spot. Thanks!

We’re traveling up to Shoreline today from Gig Harbor for my sons’s soccer game. We’d like to grab some food and watch football before his game. Where’s a good spot?

Sup with that?

Hey, I'm a recent college grad looking for some place to live that isn't with my parents in Snohomish. I currently commute to Seattle 3 days a week and it's driving me crazy. The shoreline rent prices look a lot better than downtown, but I was wondering how it feels safety wise, especially as a woman.

I know that they decided to permanently close after the fire, but I have got to know exactly how they made their barbecue chicken sandwiches. I can't stop thinking about it. It's haunting me. I have yet to find another barbecue chicken sandwich that even comes close.

I’ve seen mutterings on Nextdoor about OnTrac delivering packages to random people who are t the recipient and now - I suspect- it’s happened to me. Why do companies use this vile shipping agent?? If you receive a kids Cotopaxi puffer, please DM me. It was delivered to some amorphous “Shoreline -98133”

Update: they delivered to a nearby neighbor. I contacted Cotopaxi and they sent a picture of the doorstep and I walked around till I found it and was able to retrieve my package.

We’re looking to add a few rooms and potentially a bathroom on top of our garage, connecting to our existing second floor. I guessing around 500sq ft. I’ve checked with the city (lake forest park) and seems ok. How much should such a project cost with electrical and plumbing etc?

What are other things we should keep in mind?

Hearing so many sirens northbound on 99.

I live west of Aurora and in the North 160 area. For most of the afternoon my wife and I have been smelling smoke in the air. Anyone know the origin?
