20 volunteers turned out Saturday morning and covered a ton of ground - 15th Ave from 24th down to 170th, 180th and 175th, all of 5th Ave NE, 12th Ave, and NE Serpentine Pl. Over 20 bags of trash collected (plus one La-Z-Boy recliner that had no business being there 🛋️).

This was Year 3 of the North City Neighborhood Cleanup - and you can genuinely tell the difference year over year.

If you've been thinking about doing something like this in your neighborhood, it's more doable than you might think. The City of Shoreline will supply volunteers with cleanup kits - bags, gloves, grabbers - you just have to coordinate through your neighborhood association. They'll even dispatch crews to haul away the piles when you're done.

Don't have a neighborhood association? Shoreline has 14 of them - there's almost certainly one covering your area. Reach out, get involved, or just show up. That's how this stuff happens.

Long story short this gate on the NE corner of Ridgecrest Elementary locks out a pretty wide-swath of the part of the Ridgecrest neighborhood nearest North City.

Probably wouldn’t be share-worthy if it didn’t happen so often and if the admin of the school took it seriously.

I’ve made a half-dozen calls a year, have witnessed kids climbing the fence, I once saw a woman pass her baby over this fence to a stranger, so she could get to her other child on the other side.

In the three minutes it took me to walk over and take these photos (alerted by my daughter, who ended up taking the scenic route along lovely 15th ave) a jogger turned the corner, saw the gate, and dropped an F bomb. 30 seconds later a dude with a stroller echoed that same exasperation.

It seems like such a small thing for them to not be able to manage it properly. Likewise I know it seems like such a small thing to be annoyed about, but random gate closures suck, and the frustration kind of compounds.

A private street just south of us has a gate directly onto school grounds that has no lock. Really not sure why our gate exists or why it must be locked.

TEAR DOWN THIS GATE, MR GORBACHEV

I have a deck/porch and want to grow container kale and salad greens, maybe spinach. And maybe some herbs. I'm on the second floor with an outdoor staircase from the ground floor up to my outdoor area. Will raccoons, squirrels and rats raid my garden? If probably so, I don't want to bother.

Edit: These stories of squirrels and rabbits make me want to do it just because it sounds so cute. But I feel like my neighbor, who I share the stairs with, might object to me summoning vermin.

This is the rooftop of the apartment building Interurban Lofts next to Plaza Latina, where mating geese created a nest on our our natural roof. It was very exciting to see five little goslings appear and wasn’t long before Mama and Papa somehow got them down on the ground (pretty far up there.) I don’t know much about geese, but it’s my understanding once goslings have hatched, parents go seeking water.
Well … They went in the wrong direction and tried to cross Aurora at 9 AM. I am very sad to report that both adult geese were hit by cars in the process. Somehow the babies escaped injury. A tenant witnessed this and has been traumatized all day. I didn’t see this but shortly after, took my dog out and the geese family was on their way to the Interurban Trail through our parking lot. Mama was visibly injured, however both geese were waddling along protecting their babies. I’m posting this is to say “shame on you” for those who did not bother to stop for two extremely large geese trying to make their way across the street with their babies.
Also if you have any information about these geese, saw them, gave them any assistance, please post it in the comments here.
I did call PAWS. Their menu is so complicated and so long that by the time you get to talk to anyone, those geese could’ve been in Renton. Walking. PAWS was absolutely no help whatsoever. They wanted me to throw a blanket over the mother goose, separating her from her family. 
I do wonder where they’re spending the night.
