r/Burien

Is this a Burien thing? A Seattle thing? A Washington thing? Is everyone stoned with no ability to judge stopping distance? Because I swear I’ve never lived anywhere where so many drivers seem completely unaware of how traffic light sensors work.

WHY are people stopping an ENTIRE CAR LENGTH (sometimes more!) behind the white stop line at intersections?!

You know that big white line BEFORE the crosswalk? The one that tells you where to stop? YOU CAN ACTUALLY PULL UP TO IT.

Many intersections have vehicle detection systems embedded in the pavement or mounted above the roadway. Those systems detect waiting vehicles and help determine when the light changes. When you stop ridiculously far back, you may not be in the detection zone at all.

So now we’re all sitting there waiting for a light that may not even know anyone is there.

I’m not asking anyone to stop in the crosswalk. I’m not asking anyone to run a red light. I’m simply begging people to PULL UP TO THE ACTUAL STOP LINE.

Hey Seattle!

I wanted to make you guys aware of a group that operates out of Kent/Seattle area ran by Arthur and Angie Dahlen that is allegedly defrauding victims of homelessness as well as allegedly having sexually and physically abused hundreds of people seeking help. This has allegedly been going on for a long time now and they’re seeming to get more empowered by it. They allegedly run a fraud call center as well with probably 40% or more of the homeless people they bring in then being recycled into this call center where they convince people to open up credit cards over the phone and then invest in life saving opportunities which they massively oversell claiming they will create financial freedom for their clients then most of the time never fulfilling any of the services they are contractually required to fulfill. They have shut down and reopened numerous times but no one has gone to jail. Art Dahlen pretends to help people but allegedly has been personally responsible for over 30 deaths inside his homes and no one has batted an eye. Arthur Dahlen and Angie Dahlen both allegedly make sexual comments about all of their patients and run battlefield addiction and rebuild recovery like brothels. They have also allegedly been known to buy drugs for a number of patients there.

Question… why isn’t anyone doing anything about battlefield addiction? These people allegedly have massive amounts of blood on their hands.

Looking for reviews of St. Anne’s Labor and Delivery and OBGYN care.
We’re residing in West Seattle where we’re equal distance from Swedish First Hill or St. Anne’s for first baby coming this spring.
We started off seeing a provider at Swedish but also have an upcoming appointment with the Franciscan Women’s Health in Burien who deliver at St. Anne’s.
We’re drawn to the smaller, quieter aspect of St. Anne’s rather than the hustle and bustle/stress of First Hill for our first (so far uncomplicated, low risk) delivery.
Just wanted to reach out to the community for some first hand accounts or recommendations. Thanks!
