Had an Accident, But No Help from Police - You're Really on Your Own Out There

A few months back, we were in an accident. As you can see, a truck ran a red light and hit both our car and the one next to us. When we reported it, the police said they couldn’t do much since no one died. Our video didn’t catch the other car’s license plate, so we asked if they could check the traffic light cameras—but it doesn’t look like they’re going to follow up. Just a reminder to stay vigilant out there—you’re really on your own.

Any vet recommendations specifically good with cats?

My partner and I have been living in Renton for 1 1/2 years now and our current vet we’ve been seeing has been a let down each time. Thinking about switching to a new one. Please let me know of any vets that are good with cats please and thank you! :)

What’s you ideal Renton?

Yesterday, someone asked how Renton will change over the next 10 years. To build off that post, what do you hope Renton looks like in 10 years time? What would you change if you could? What do you hope stays the same?

How do you think Renton will change in 10 years?

For the most part, I've lived in Renton since I was born. My family's been here for 40+ years at this point and it honestly hasn't changed much. Do you foresee Renton changing in the future? At times I feel it's quite stagnant here. Maybe people like it that way? Light rail or any meaningful public transit improvements is an impossible dream.

Youth soccer leagues?

Hello,

Looking for a youth soccer league for a 7 year old (soon to be 8) to play in. Looks like most leagues in the area are in the fall, but was curious if anyone knows of any winter/spring leagues. Would be looking for recreational level as the kid has never played organized sports before, so looking for more beginner level experience to see how he takes to team sports.

I want a BLT

Is there anywhere close by that makes an exceptional one? And I'm not talking about a BLT with PNW flair like 23 grain artisan bread or a portabello mushroom toothpicked on top. Just the three ingredients on Wonder will do just fine. Any ideas?

Weekly Ladies Trivia Group

Wanting to create a girls’ trivia group for once a week. Thinking either Mondays, Wednesdays, or Thursdays. Whistle Stop has trivia on Mondays, The Berliner on Wednesdays, and Local 907 has it Thursdays. Groups are generally limited to 6. Missing sometimes is fine of course, but I’d like to make it a goal to go weekly. I’m not super good at it, but I do really enjoy it. Let me know if anyone is interested. Also feel free to DM :)

Renton Ballot Box Locations

Not the most conveniently located for those on foot, by bus, or those who are physically disabled to access those locations.

Burien's ballot box used to be at the city hall/library building a decade ago, but now they moved it up a block. I wonder if the longterm enabled enter and welcome parties to the encampment on city hall property influenced their decision to move the box unit...., and make more room for another tent.

Countless other King County Libraries and city halls have ballot boxes located at them. But Renton is left with a defunct Elections building with two boxes at it, a library that's not accessible by bus; Kent residents have to go a falling-apart store strip with a building that hasn't been a library in over a decade but is still listed as one, a court house instead of major transit center or public shopping Plaza; and Auburn gets the gold star for having a ballot box at a nearly defunct park-and-ride /endsarcasm .

Anyone going to Puerto Rico?

My friends just threw me a bachelor party in PR. Great place, great trip. While we were there, we toured a rum distillery, Scryer Rum. Unfortunately, the distillery didn’t sell their own product. There’s a place between the distillery and the airport that sells it but our timeline to get to the airport didn’t give us enough time to stop. If there is anyone going to Puerto Rico in the next couple weeks, I’d be willing to pay a small premium for three or four bottles plus your baggage fee so you can get the bottles here. I’d like to give them as gifts to the guys who paid for the tour (plus one for myself).
