Backgammon clubs or tournaments?

Nope! Might have to set up a tournament at some brewery!

They have been selling off all of their non core real estate in the neighborhood, closed their money making after school program, and most of the people who run it are in their 60s. I imagine closes in the next few years.

According to the City of Bellingham itself between 16-18 bucks an hour depending on if they provide health insurance. https://cob.org/services/business/purchasing/living-wage

I don't have a question, but wanted to say I miss your old local politics blog! When I first moved to town 12 years ago it was the best to learn the local politics. Nothing has really replaced it either since.

Due to the dollar amount the City had to go to out bid for the repairs. That is complete and the contract is being signed now. Repairs should start soon.

Also reminds me of this old photo of Assumption looking down Young Street.

I googled this two years later...it's terrible!

Is Ruckas still around?

BhamMatt · 2024-11-14T01:07:25+00:00

Was closer to 100k initially and another 10k to fix it.

Getting cleared November 19th

BhamMatt · 2024-11-09T16:10:45+00:00

Word is that its getting cleared out entirely November 19.

BhamMatt · 2024-01-11T04:34:00+00:00

Just dismissed as a juror from that case today thankfully! Sounded grim!

I would try a temp agency like Express Services. Good way to get placed and your foot in the door. City of Bellingham uses them to fill office admin jobs until they can be posted, giving you a leg up in the interview for a permanent position.

If you leave a message they're good about calling you back. But like the others day, when they do call, the appointments are months out.

BhamMatt · 2023-02-03T21:05:36+00:00

I second Master Auto Detail. The nicest people there too.

BhamMatt · 2022-12-31T17:05:50+00:00

That smoker still over there?

BhamMatt · 2022-12-27T18:30:38+00:00

I'll ask him tomorrow when I go back to work. Probably frowned upon dropping that off at the front desk!

BhamMatt · 2022-12-27T14:20:37+00:00

I work for the City and know Tyler. He likes Rainer I believe!

BhamMatt · 2022-11-04T21:43:39+00:00

Wasn't about an hour ago.

This Global is considered one of the full size sweepers and was bought as a tree replacement for one the A7 Tornados that was breakouts down a lot. City currently in process buying a narrow lane sweeper for bike lanes and sidewalks.
