You know you have to stop at crosswalks, right?

It doesn’t matter if the flashing lights aren’t on. It doesn’t matter if they are on a bike. It doesn’t matter if it’s a baby or just a random dude.

You must. Always. Stop. For. Pedestrians. At. Crosswalks.

Not sure why we think it’s okay to just speed through. What ever happened to the Ballard driving academy???

Places hiring?

Has anybody seen places hiring in Ballard? Help wanted signs and the like? Any minimum wage sort of job would be great, thank you!

Mechanic Recommendation?

Have a 2010 Toyota Highlander that needs lower control arms with ball joints replaced. Was quoted about 4k from Toyota which seems like ...a lot.

Any recommendations for someone in Ballard who could do this? Would rather go local if I can.

Fred Meyer Camp… any progress?

I report the large camp of people experiencing homelessness across from the Fred Meyer on 46th WEEKLY. Nothing happens. It’s clearly not safe or healthy for the people living there. Has anyone heard any updates on if services have been offered or if there’s a plan to sweep?

Did anybody hear those loud booms?

All over Ballard around 10pm, sounds like multiple explosions. Anyone know what’s going on?

Happy 4th y’all.

Found photo of random child

Someone dumped a whole bunch of shit right outside my place including this photo of a random child (emoji added for privacy)

Felt weird bringing the photo in but felt even weirder leaving it outside especially if it could be one of the few photos someone has of their beloved child? Who even prints out photos like that anymore?

Anyway, hit me up if this belongs to you

Does anyone else feel like it smells really bad in our neighborhood today?

I was just outside and I couldn't believe it. I almost went right back indoors because of how bad it smelled but I had things to do. And it's not just my block either, the whole neighborhood smells bad right now for some reason. Anyone know what's up?

Ballard goodwill dressing rooms

I'm new to thrifting for clothing and waited today for almost 20 minutes in line to try on 4 things. The majority of folks in front of me had a cart full of items to try on. They'd take 5 into the room, then open the door and swap out for a different 5 items. Over and over again. One room was monopolized by the same person before I got in line, and they were still there when I left. Is this the norm?
