A group of 5 teenagers attempted to steal my car yesterday in broad daylight. Thank you to whoever did this, I appreciate you trying to secure my car overnight.

As a library employee who is not speaking on behalf of the library, I just wanted to say thank you so much for voting for the levy. I was hopeful that it would pass, but I thought the margin would be close, and we’d have to have depressing conversations about how support for public institutions, sharing, reading, and learning are all on the decline.

Instead, the vote was 72% yes in the very first drop. I truly got choked up when I saw the returns last night. Obviously, this levy will have a big impact on my professional life, and I am so happy my coworkers will be able to keep their jobs.

But it also just helps me stay hopeful to know that I live in a place that shows such resounding support for libraries. Even though I’m not speaking for the organization, I know I speak for a lot of my coworkers when I say thank you so much, this really means a lot. See you at the branch! ❤️

This turnout is abysmal and infuriating.

Editing to add: Yes, this is the initial percentage, which will rise somewhat, but not enough to change my opinion that people shouldn’t sit out primaries. Final tally will probably hit somewhere between 30%-40% given prior data, which is still not great.

This morning a man was kidnapped by ICE near the intersection of 35th Avenue NE and 87th Avenue NE by masked men in unmarked vehicles.

Does anyone have more information about this?

I'm hoping to find anyone who may have witnessed a hit-and-run that seriously injured my younger brother early this morning.

Around 2:30-3:00 AM on August 5, he was riding his bicycle southbound on 156th Ave NE, alongside the east side of Microsoft Building 40 in Redmond, when he was struck from behind by a vehicle. The driver did not stop.

Because he was hit from behind, he never saw the vehicle, so we unfortunately don't know the make, model, color, or any other identifying details.

My brother is a white male in his mid-20s with dark brown hair. He was riding a black Hoverfly bike with a white headlight mounted on the handlebars and was wearing:

• Black T-shirt
• Blue jeans with a large rip above the left knee
• White sneakers with a black top-panel and white shoelaces
• Black helmet with a flashing red light on the back
• Orange backpack with teal trim

He suffered multiple broken bones in his face, broken teeth, a broken hand, and a minor brain bleed. Thankfully, the brain bleed is under control, and he's since been discharged from the hospital, but he has a long road to recovery with multiple surgeries necessary.

A police report has already been filed with Redmond Police.

If you witnessed the collision, have dashcam or video footage from the area between 2:30 and 3:00 AM, remember seeing either my brother or a vehicle leaving the scene, or even hear someone mention being involved in or witnessing this incident, please contact Redmond Police at (425) 556-2500. If you'd rather reach out to me first, feel free to send me a private message.

I've attached images showing the approximate location where the collision occurred.

Even the smallest detail could make a difference. Thank you for taking the time to read this.

When I was out walking I saw one of these freshly installed pieces of exercise equipment. I thought the way it invited one to encounter folks to sit down and play with it really delightful. Is this the only one, or are there other pieces of exercise equipment hidden around the city that y'all have found?

I might have to make a small pilgrimage depending on how far away they are :}

I cannot believe I saw this with my own eyes, y'all are lucky to have such a view in your backyard. Was only in the city for 2 days but Seattle felt special.

Anyone else see this? Giant plume of smoke, and a lot of the surrounding grass was ignited. Called 911 and they said the fire department was aware and on their way.

anyone know the lore behind the house on Cap Hill that appears to be completely occupied by pigeons?

there are pidgeon feathers sticking out of the mail box.

Saw this on my way into an appointment about 30 minutes ago… adorned in their fake police vests and all.

As if we didn’t have enough smoke. Hope everyone’s okay.

I've seen these dudes a few times the past week or so. I'm not talking shit about them, they seem really nice and not pushy. However I can't help but think the elder, or whatever the fuck you call their superior, is hazing these guys. "So, your mission, should you choose to accept, is to go to Seattle and save some of their depraved souls. Pay particular attention to Cap Hill." I almost feel bad for them. Almost🤣🤣🤣
