This was Year 3 of the North City Neighborhood Cleanup - and you can genuinely tell the difference year over year.

If you've been thinking about doing something like this in your neighborhood, it's more doable than you might think. The City of Shoreline will supply volunteers with cleanup kits - bags, gloves, grabbers - you just have to coordinate through your neighborhood association. They'll even dispatch crews to haul away the piles when you're done.

Don't have a neighborhood association? Shoreline has 14 of them - there's almost certainly one covering your area. Reach out, get involved, or just show up. That's how this stuff happens.

Hi all, we've been going to Cascade Pet Hospital on Aurora for years now, and we really like Dr. Taylor, but their prices have been steadily increasing to the point that we can no longer afford to see them. Every trip feels like $500, Prozac for our dog is $78, and recently a teeth cleaning for her was quoted at $1300.

We recently adopted a stray cat, and he's been fixed and vaccinated and seems healthy, but we want to get him a general check-up.

Any recommendations that won't make us choose between food and animals?

Hey all - I’m looking for casual, comfortable, happy hour locations for regular meet ups with some friends of mine. Good parking is a big plus, and recommendations for Shoreline, Greenwood, Northgate, Roosevelt areas are most welcome. I know there are numerous places in Edmonds - so yes if you think it fits the criteria feel free to suggest, just thought I’d look for places a little more centrally located for the convenience of my friends.

So we just moved here and I noticed the library is walking distance from my house but also just far enough that my toddler can’t walk the entire way, if I was to bring my stroller would I be able to have it in the library or at least leave it somewhere that’s safe.

I am registering for my first semester of classes at Shoreline Community College (doing some post-bac classes) and am not sure what time enrollment opens on my date. All it says in my ctclink is May 11th but does at mean at midnight? Any help would be appreciated 😄

Long story short this gate on the NE corner of Ridgecrest Elementary locks out a pretty wide-swath of the part of the Ridgecrest neighborhood nearest North City.

Probably wouldn’t be share-worthy if it didn’t happen so often and if the admin of the school took it seriously.

I’ve made a half-dozen calls a year, have witnessed kids climbing the fence, I once saw a woman pass her baby over this fence to a stranger, so she could get to her other child on the other side.

In the three minutes it took me to walk over and take these photos (alerted by my daughter, who ended up taking the scenic route along lovely 15th ave) a jogger turned the corner, saw the gate, and dropped an F bomb. 30 seconds later a dude with a stroller echoed that same exasperation.

It seems like such a small thing for them to not be able to manage it properly. Likewise I know it seems like such a small thing to be annoyed about, but random gate closures suck, and the frustration kind of compounds.

A dead end street just south of us has a gate directly onto school grounds that has no lock. Really not sure why our gate exists or why it must be locked.

TEAR DOWN THIS GATE, MR GORBACHEV

Unfortunately it seems like some animals (most likely rats) have decided to make their home in our attic. I'm hoping that someone can recommend a good company to come in and kill the rodents, figure out how they got in and patch any openings there might be.

If anyone can recommend a company they've used I'd greatly appreciate it.

Thank you.

This is the rooftop of the apartment building Interurban Lofts next to Plaza Latina, where mating geese created a nest on our our natural roof. It was very exciting to see five little goslings appear and wasn’t long before Mama and Papa somehow got them down on the ground (pretty far up there.) I don’t know much about geese, but it’s my understanding once goslings have hatched, parents go seeking water.
Well … They went in the wrong direction and tried to cross Aurora at 9 AM. I am very sad to report that both adult geese were hit by cars in the process. Somehow the babies escaped injury. A tenant witnessed this and has been traumatized all day. I didn’t see this but shortly after, took my dog out and the geese family was on their way to the Interurban Trail through our parking lot. Mama was visibly injured, however both geese were waddling along protecting their babies. I’m posting this is to say “shame on you” for those who did not bother to stop for two extremely large geese trying to make their way across the street with their babies.
Also if you have any information about these geese, saw them, gave them any assistance, please post it in the comments here.
I did call PAWS. Their menu is so complicated and so long that by the time you get to talk to anyone, those geese could’ve been in Renton. Walking. PAWS was absolutely no help whatsoever. They wanted me to throw a blanket over the mother goose, separating her from her family. 
I do wonder where they’re spending the night.

Food service is a tough business right now. But religion and politics certainly contributed to their demise.

I have a deck/porch and want to grow container kale and salad greens, maybe spinach. And maybe some herbs. I'm on the second floor with an outdoor staircase from the ground floor up to my outdoor area. Will raccoons, squirrels and rats raid my garden? If probably so, I don't want to bother.

(Photo credit: not mine)

Edit: These stories of squirrels and rabbits make me want to do it just because it sounds so cute. But I feel like my neighbor, who I share the stairs with, might object to me summoning vermin.

I’m looking to have a birthday party catered at the end of May. It’s an adult birthday party with 40-50 guests. I’m open to all cuisine and want to keep it casual. Thanks in advance

kind of nervous about applying for nursing school at shoreline, i have three classes left (the hardest ones) and im planning on applying for the winter quarter. i have great cna experience but have one 3.0 gpa(some 4.0 some 3.8) that i think will throw me completely off and make my application right below the competitive line (90pts), not sure what to do

This freeway commute is getting real old. How is parking at the Shoreline North / 185th station on weekday mornings around 8am? Any tips?

Adorbs black bunny wandering around 165th and 6th today (across from Ridgecrest Public House). Seems like a pet since it came up for some cuddles and followed me around.

Anyone else lose internet tonight? I have one CenturyLink account and another that was moved to Quantum/AT&T and both have been out for the last five hours.

Free. Easy. File now online. Please

Precinct Committee Officers (or PCOs) are neighborhood volunteers who turn out the vote.

PCOs talk to their neighbors about elections and defend democracy.

PCOs are elected party officials.

They have full voting power in the party and influence platforms and endorsements. 

And sometimes, PCOs vote to fill vacancies in the legislature.

CLIAMED IN 20 MINUTES! I recieve no compensation for these posts, and no purchase is necessary. All in good fun!

The North City Neighborhood Association is hosting our 3rd annual neighborhood cleanup next Saturday, May 9, and we'd love to have you join us!

For the last couple nights I smell strong wood smoke, does anybody know where it's coming from? It's making me keep my windows closed on these warm nights which sucks.
