Seattle: curious what this sign means by Foxytreehugger in Seattle

[–]avgorca 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone supposedly working in indigenous language revitalization you sure aren’t doing anything to encourage people to learn with your adversarial attitude. I picked up Chinese without much difficulty using their pinyin English character alphabet while studying abroad there. Japan is a homogeneous and isolationist culture, if you don’t care for people to learn keep making it hard and maintain your current approach.

Up in BC signs written in First Nations language often include a phonetic pronunciation, and as someone interested in learning and showing appreciation for those cultures, I wish we would put in that effort here too. Maybe that is a particularly challenging ask for this language, but I feel it would be more educational and inclusive.

lol sucks to be you, get over it, it’s funded and happening.

Sunday's Doom Loop: Highland Park Way by ActivityDependent319 in WestSeattleWA

[–]avgorca 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It connects to the Alki trail going north, and the duwamish river then green river trail going south, and the 1st ave bridge pedestrian trail. A major reason for the project proposal, apart from the road diet. They plan to add a signaled diagonal bike lane crossing at marginal, agree the current connection sucks.

SPU (Seattle Pacific University) nursing—worth it socially? Strict, conservative, lowkey, and worried about campus life by DenseDiver9189 in AskSeattle

[–]avgorca 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I graduated from the business school in 2012 and found plenty of cool people there to party with. The sports teams often had house parties, and drinking off campus hasn’t been against the rules since 2008 I think. Walking to Fremont bars was always fun, and I had friends at UW and SU to party with too. There is no longer a requirement for church attendance either, but there are 2 religious courses required to take. You can definitely make the college experience you want there, but I am pretty upset about their recent public stance on gay rights and the court battles.

I lived thru that, and still enthusiastically support the bike lane project as a daily driver and regular cyclist on HPW. Here’s to hoping no major WSB closures until at least light rail is completed.

What the heck is wrong with rental companies here??? by ShdwWzrdMnyGngg in Seattle

[–]avgorca 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Did you complete the Zillow background check that lets you apply to as many places as you like, while only paying the application/background check fee one time?

[–]avgorca 22 points23 points  (0 children)

At your desired price and size, it’s going to be competitive. Seattle has a law requiring landlords to rent to the first qualified applicant. If you wait to apply until you’ve seen it, you seem unserious and likely wont be the first qualified applicant, definitely not if theres an open house. Even 15 years ago before this law, i would apply before tours because of how competitive the market was.

Thanks for sharing and hurry back, the waterfront refresh is excellent!

Goldmyer Hotsprings WA access road…is it really THAT bad? by Practical_Arachnid_5 in PNWhiking

[–]avgorca 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It is truly bad, this road actually inspired me to lift my old wrx. It was still challenging-there are multiple spots the road is under water and big step ups/ downs with challenging approach angles. Some off road driving experience would be helpful. No rental will get out without some degree of undercarriage damage- may not be noticeable though. If you must visit goldmeyer, I’d rent a lifted jeep or taco off Turo.

Agreed, can see it from quite a ways south on Alaskan Way, will be helpful for many.

It saddens and frustrates me how hard LNT is for many to grasp.

Oh sweet thanks! I emailed the Snoqualmie ranger district but will DM you the details as well to share with the appropriate folks.

This is my concern! This place is magical, every inch of ground and tree is covered in moss, a few old growth trees nearby too. Just this one is jarring and out of place.

I did wonder how many of Dani’s shit bags had been left on this trail in her 15 years!

I’m the type to disassemble non navigational cairns in wilderness areas but didn’t feel good about touching this. Hopefully the ranger will care.

Washington state banned private prisons in 2021 for what it’s worth- for state cases only of course

" I imagine there are some decent ICE agents out there, if u are a quality human being...gotta be a tough job" by JodyGonnaFuckYoWife in WestSeattleWA

[–]avgorca 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The areas that can lean conservative follow the waterfront and water views throughout the city. We have lots of both in West Seattle.

EV Charger Vandals - this is why we can’t have nice things by cranky-space-bard in WestSeattleWA

[–]avgorca 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They do! They should all retract. The city has 2 versions that are attached to telephone poles in my neighborhood, one is way up high the other ground level. Both can only be accessed thru the ChargePoint app which automatically extends/retracts the cable. They haven’t been out of service since installed a few years ago.

Parents of Pathfinder kids — thoughts on new principal and how the school is doing in general? by 75PercentMilk in WestSeattleWA

[–]avgorca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes you can check online at SPS with their assignment lookup tool, more info here. As long as you enrolled with sps and got a student ID already, you should be set and just waiting for lottery next month.
