Roundabout Theory

For however long it takes to build the roundabout, it takes twice as long for drivers in the area to actually understand it.

So maybe by 2030 we’ll have 145th figured out 😅🫠

Lovely sight to wake up to.

All the cop would tell me is that the person was “like, super old”. How does this even happen?

This is going to take my landlord eons to deal with.

Where to get spicy peppers?

I’ve been trying to get my hands on some spicy peppers for some time now, specifically scotch bonnets, but I can’t seem to find them anywhere. I’m not really sure where to look honestly. I’m tired of the typical grocery store habanero, serrano, and jalapeño. If anyone knows where to get any other spicy peppers, even if they aren’t scotch bonnets, I’m all ears. Thank you!!

Harassment at Paramount Park

​

On Thursday, August 13th at about 1:45 p.m. My 9-year-old son and I were walking laps around Paramount Park. A group of four boys showed up on their electric bikes. They began to throw apples at an old lady who was walking by, and they narrowly missed hitting her in the head. They then retreated and ran into the large pine trees at Paramount Park near the south baseball fields. When my son and I passed by, they began to throw pine cones at us and screamed "YOU N***ERS". I immediately turned around and screamed at them to knock it off. They then proceeded to yell "fuck you!!" in response. My son and I then walked to our car and left the park. If these are your children, please talk to them as they need some serious help. This is totally inappropriate and hateful behavior.

Video taken of the kids on the field.

Recology Pickup Issues?

Sorry if against rules mods- feel free to delete if I messed up.

Has there been some labor issue or something with Recology lately? This is the second week in a row they have missed the entire street’s garbage pickup.

I’m not seeing anything on the website.

Old Sears Building

Water for drinking?

Hello! We're moving my son up there in a month for College. We use filtered water from the fridge to drink so I was wondering about the tap water in Shoreline. Should we put a filter on the tap in his studio apt? My husband feels like that is unnecessary. Thoughts? Thanks 😀

Excited for new Michaels store in Shoreline

This afternoon I went to the Recology store in Shoreline. Definitely recommend, by the way (for surprisingly cute items and to recycle some e-waste and small electronics), and I saw a sign for a new Michaels store coming soon. Actually pretty excited about that new opening!

Vet recommendations

Anyone know of a good privately owned vet clinic nearby? Old dog was at shoreline central animal hospital, really didn’t like the clinic. New dog is at shoreline veterinary hospital, and I can’t stand the vet, she’s like a car salesman. Both of those clinics are bought out by private equity, looking for an old fashioned private clinic.

I need answers to this…

This is the Polaris apartments on the 175th side a few blocks from Safeway. What is going on?? Do the people in this apartment steal the carts to take groceries home but have some form of organized chaos to make it easy for Safeway to take them back? I see this so often on this street and don’t understand 😆

AQI highland terrace results

We were at Costco earlier and the air had that fire smoke smell and look, but the aqi sites I use show very low numbers. Similarly, Highland Terrace also... but my neighbors also say it seems smokey, and I'm just wondering if I'm using older sites, all the popular ones on Google etc, or if it takes a while for the sensors to update or maybe we are all imagining it and it's just someone barbecuing 😄

Book Club Discussion of "Democracy for Realists"

Join us in a discussion about the book "Democracy for Realists: Why Elections Do Not Produce Responsive Government" by Christopher Achen and Larry Bartels at Around the Table Board Game Pub on June 8th from 6PM-8PM.

For anyone interested in joining, this book is available for free as a PDF.

Sign up on meetup if you are interested!

https://www.meetup.com/snohomish-county-intellectually-curious-book-club/events/314770536/

Book Description:

Democracy for Realists assails the romantic folk-theory at the heart of contemporary thinking about democratic politics and government, and offers a provocative alternative view grounded in the actual human nature of democratic citizens.

Christopher Achen and Larry Bartels deploy a wealth of social-scientific evidence, including ingenious original analyses of topics ranging from abortion politics and budget deficits to the Great Depression and shark attacks, to show that the familiar ideal of thoughtful citizens steering the ship of state from the voting booth is fundamentally misguided. They demonstrate that voters―even those who are well informed and politically engaged―mostly choose parties and candidates on the basis of social identities and partisan loyalties, not political issues.

They also show that voters adjust their policy views and even their perceptions of basic matters of fact to match those loyalties. When parties are roughly evenly matched, elections often turn on irrelevant or misleading considerations such as economic spurts or downturns beyond the incumbents' control; the outcomes are essentially random. Thus, voters do not control the course of public policy, even indirectly.Achen and Bartels argue that democratic theory needs to be founded on identity groups and political parties, not on the preferences of individual voters.

Democracy for Realists provides a powerful challenge to conventional thinking, pointing the way toward a fundamentally different understanding of the realities and potential of democratic government.
