Hello West Seattle! We are looking for a strong computer scientist or software engineer to mentor our 12½-year-old son.
He is about two years advanced in math & reading and new to programming. We are not looking for a standard coding tutor.

The goal is to build a real foundation in computer science and systems thinking, with programming used as a tool.

Learning goals:
Algorithms and data structures
Logic, abstraction and computational thinking
Computer architecture: CPU, memory, storage
Operating systems and networks
Databases and information representation
Software/system architecture
Efficiency, complexity and tradeoffs

Teaching approach
Sessions should mix explanation, whiteboarding, discussion, small experiments and hands-on programming.
We want someone who can teach why, not just how, build concepts progressively, and follow the student’s curiosity. Student is very curious and shows good raw instincts around architecture.

The student
He is bright, social and athletic — gets great reviews from his coaches as a very hard worker and team leader. This is fun enrichment, not remediation, or a way to connect an isolated child to learning. Student is in fact, a bit of a jock.

We want someone who can connect, challenge him, and make the subject genuinely exciting.

Ideal background
You might be:
A strong CS undergraduate or graduate student
A software engineer with excellent CS fundamentals
A CS researcher, professor or educator
Depth in systems, algorithms or architecture is especially valuable.

To apply please DM to chat, thank you!

What the title says. I have two delicate little pendants that need delicate chains to go on. I have tried Mejuri, Aurate and a couple other of those tier "influencer" brands and the chains just break after regular usage.

Any recommendations for a local-ish spot that has good quality and reasonable pricing?

Bonus points if they'd also be able to clean one of the pendants which is over 100-year-old gold and garnet.

With the Ballard extension & the second Downtown tunnel delayed to at least 2042, will the 2035 West Seattle trains (or at least some of them) merge at SODO and continue thru the existing tunnel to downtown, Capitol Hill, UW, etc.*?
Or will we just have a $5B shuttle to Emerald City Trapeze Arts

Looking for recommendations for restaurants in West Seattle with nice outdoor seating areas that are good for families including babies? Thanks in advance!

Looks like there's potentially a hive in one of my gutters. My contractor wanted to spray it, but I don't want to do that. How do I get someone out here to potentially locate the queen and get them away safely? Anybody know a good beekeeper that could help me out before I get stung?

Does anyone know if there is an assisted living place that offers day trips or activities to non-residents for a fee? We have recently decided to have my mother-in-law live with us. She is physically healthy but has early onset dementia. I looked into the Center for Active Living, and their offerings require more independence than she is capable of. My Mom had a horrible experience at The Mount, (Providence) so we want to avoid that place. Thanks!

Hey, all! Mel here! We are Canine Cuts & Artistry LLC located in White Center!
We are located off 14th and Roxbury, next to A Dogs Dream and Listen Here!
A plaza for ALL your dogs needs!

We are ready to take bookings for full grooms, bathing, deshedding and nail trim services.

Lakota has 15 years of experience, has placed in multiple competitions, is a certified esthetician and has a holistic way of tailoring your pets grooming services to their special needs. Whatever your little one needs, she will customize their grooming service to give them a professional, relaxing, and respectful spa experience!

I, Mel, have about 8 years of bathing experience, especially in deshedding for those larger dogs like great pyrenees and golden retrievers. It's important to get undercoat out regularly so your dogs fur can function and help regulate their temperature.

I am also a student of Lakotas and am working towards being a doodle focused groomer!

With that said, get your pups booked!
Please text us at 206.672.3342! If you need to call, please DM for the phone line!

Our schedule currently permits only dogs 30 pounds and under, and any and all bath dogs that are not XL+!

We look forward to servicing this area!

Thank you!

-Mel

Why is this still happening? It is the middle of August for fuck’s sake! Why are people setting off fireworks every damn night?

Who thinks it’s a good idea to let their kids do this? If you’re an adult, wtf is wrong with you?

Anyone popping fireworks off after midnight on July 4th deserves to be publicly shamed.

The lack of empathy and thinking everyone else is just an NPC is ridiculous.

Yeah, I’m mad and ranting. It’s August 17th. It happens multiple nights a week.

I spotted this poster on a pole across from Jefferson Square. It made me smile, but I also felt sad for the kind person who posted it. The photo I took isn't great, but the top line says, "Are you a bird?" I drew the heart, badly drawn bird, and the "Thank you." So, BIRDS, head on over to the feeder! A feast awaits!

Anyone know where I can find a seeded watermelon. Everything seems to be seedless nowadays.

My partner and I are visiting West Seattle for 5 days. What are some good bars to check out. We like punk, indie and alt music. Looking for that kind of vibe. Dive bars preferred. Thanks in advance!

Is there anywhere in West Seattle that has roller hockey? Or any good suggestions for where to practice inline skating?
