I’m neuro spicy and looking for a housekeeper or business that can provide additional services to help with things that housekeeping services don’t do. I need help keeping up with my kitchen, dishes and I are not friends, a several visit project organizing my garage (just need someone to help me get the manual labor part done, not just body doubling), and typical housekeeping maintenance services for my living room and bathroom. I do not need a professional organizer, I know what I want and where I want it but need help getting it there. I’m a small business owner that works from home and all my unfinished projects are making it hard for me to work and to relax. If any of you know of this unicorn, please let me know!

There is going to be a Flagg policy discussion tonight, May 12th at the Parks, Recreation, Human Services, and Public Safety Committee meeting at 5:00 p.m.

They had decided last year to ban the flying of any non official national, state, or city flags on city property. This was done specifically to avoid continuing to fly the pride and Juneteenth flags at city hall in June. Now the city council is realizing this also bans them from putting up banners on 320th to promote the city during all the fifa promotion.

The discussion tonight is decide if they want to bring it to the regular city council meeting next week.

There is public comment at the beginning of the meeting, with the actual discussion happening at the end. You can watch live from home on the city's YouTube as well.

Hey all, hoping someone here can point me in the right direction. Last month I got rear-ended on 320th near the mall. Some guy in a lifted truck wasn't paying attention and slammed into me at maybe 30 mph while I was stopped at the light. My Civic is totaled and I've been dealing with neck and lower back pain ever since.

The insurance adjuster from the other driver's company has been calling me almost daily trying to get me to accept a settlement. They offered $4,500 to "make it go away quickly." My buddy who works in construction told me that's basically nothing and I'm getting lowballed hard because I don't have a lawyer.

I started chiropractic care two weeks ago and my doctor is now talking about possibly needing an MRI. Bills are already piling up and I'm missing shifts at work because I literally can't sit at my desk for more than an hour without my back locking up.

I've been Googling personal injury lawyers in Federal Way and there's like 50 of them all claiming to be the best. Some have those flashy billboards on I-5, others have the cheesy TV commercials. Honestly I don't know how to tell who's actually good vs who just has a big marketing budget.

A few specific questions:

1. Did anyone here actually hire a PI lawyer in Federal Way recently? Who did you go with and were they responsive?
2. Should I be looking for someone local to Federal Way specifically, or is it fine to use a firm based in Seattle or Tacoma?
3. The insurance company keeps pushing me to give a recorded statement. My gut says don't do it but they're being super pushy. Anyone been through this?
4. How does the contingency fee thing actually work? Is 33% standard or can you negotiate?

I really don't want to get screwed over here. This wasn't my fault and now I'm the one stuck dealing with pain, missed work, and a wrecked car while the other guy's insurance company plays games.

Any recommendations or war stories would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
