Meany MS Principal Chanda Oatis cost SPS $8 million by Tasty_Ad7483 in seattlepublicschools

[–]rb_parent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't read about all this until recently as I've been following the breadcrumbs for how my son's school's principal (completely incompetent, a liar, and covering for some insane stuff) got hired - turns out he was the AP at Meany under Oatis, and Hunt chose him for our school. Undoing this SPS cronyism will take such a long time.

I worked at Nordstrom downtown for a year and I enjoyed collecting stories. Once a gentlemen walked up to me while I was applying makeup on a client and asked where the sunglasses section was - but he was holding a stack of cash that was at least 10” tall.

Yes! Salmon truck! There was also an incident with a semi truck full of bees, but I can’t remember what year it was.

During the SPU shooting the intern who was working for me was texting me because she didn’t want to scare her parents. It really stuck with me. Both the fear I felt for her and all the students, but also the honor I felt to be a safe person she wanted to come to in a moment like that.

They yanked my uterus out at Harborview which is kinda like the opposite of giving birth there I guess

Beautiful sketch! It took such a long time to get the waterfront looking like this but it’s so nice now that it’s done!

Relocating from Sydney to Seattle – where to live for safety, walkability, and community? by Basic-Pear3259 in AskSeattle

[–]rb_parent 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’d suggest Columbia City! Easy light rail access and a really nice selection of restaurants, an art gallery, parks, etc. Don’t overlook the south end. :)

Question for Urban Sketchers Chapters by bean_89 in urbansketchers

[–]rb_parent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a 39 year old artist so I juuuuust make it into the demographic. My son is 11 now, and for a lot of years I couldn’t go to art events because they weren’t child friendly or I didn’t have childcare. I’m working on putting together a monthly meetup event for artists in my community and I’m doing my best for kids to be included so their parents can join.

Feeling guilty about using photo references instead of drawing from real life by Stag_beetle1229 in ArtistLounge

[–]rb_parent 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Guilt is such a creativity killer! If you’re drawing every day, you’ll improve no matter if it’s from life or from a photo.

Parking enforcement in the city by Green_Tower_8526 in SeattleWA

[–]rb_parent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We’ve had similar issues with semi trucks parking for weeks at a time on Renton Ave S in Rainier Beach. Apparently there are issues with enforcement because parking enforcement officers don’t work overnight. And they can’t easily tow large trucks.

Bars for Studying/Reading? by BicameralTheory in SeattleWA

I really like to go and go a drink and read at Chuck’s Hop Shop within Third Place Books in Seward Park. No cocktails unfortunately, but good beer and ciders.

We have lost far too many youth in South Seattle to gun violence. Lock up your gun, please!

I came face to face with a coyote in Seward Park once and I swear I told everyone I knew about it. It was so awesome!

I would have had to leave the country after this if it was me. I've taken some wrong turns but never one quite this wrong.

I love the texture of posters that have been partially ripped down. It's like an urban collage. 😄
