Congratulations! Give them each a boop for me!

YES! In part because I found it A LOT easier to find non-IPAs in my recent trip down.

Some Washington state campgrounds and parks may close permanently this spring Nineteen sites across the state, 11 in western Washington, could see reduced services or shut down entirely under proposed budget cuts.

The Legislature has refused to provide sufficient funding to the Department of Natural Resources for years, so DNR is preparing to close campgrounds.

Public services cost money and austerity is bad. Let's fund our parks and campgrounds and cancel these cuts.

WA dual-credit program could face cuts

Lawmakers are planning to cut $14 million in the coming year from Running Start, which allows high school students to earn college credit.

Yeah I think it’s one of those ones that only bloom on older growth. We had the same issue with ours.

I love Mock Orange. Another great smell-er lol

Snowberry, Nootka Rose, and Salmonberry are the three shrubs we would plant in mitigation sites if we needed to up the shrub cover. Always a great choice!

Oh my 7yo loves Rivers Roads and Rails. Though we could never get it to work quite right by the rules, or at least we always seem to get blocked, so instead we just have fun building long paths!

Hard agree with Kelli! Also give them room, once they get established they will sent out runners and spread!

u can just do things

"Over the last decade, there has been a widening of a different kind of performance gap—the gap between higher- and lower-achieving students"

A half hour before it closes at 6pm and the Greenwood Library is packed. Kiddo has been doing tutoring here for the past month, and it always is. We really need to get more library hours back. I personally love having an excuse to be here twice a week.

Seattle Library Workers Raise Alarm About Security Crackdown Hitting Homeless People

“…a new enforcement crackdown led by the Seattle Public Library’s new head of security is turning librarians into part-time cops, and they’re not happy about it.”

I couldn't find anything that might be it on its face, which I hope is true.

It's a badly needed connection! It was so hard to get from Greenwood to Lake City. I think the 74 used to go part of the 40 route to Northgate, then to Lake City, then around down Sandpoint to UW when we first moved here. But once they made the 40 I don't think there was a direct bus.

I'm coming over, you better not be a whale operating a bus when I get there

my boop ass:

STRONG SAME. I don't like watching video that's longer than like 3 minutes and certainly don't like putting my appearance out there for scrutiny myself. Like don't make me put on a bra and do my hair to enter into the dialog.

Then why are there proposed cuts to education and childcare in the budget? Like the Early Support for Infants and Toddlers and Working Connections Child Care programs?

Condolences to you and your family.

It’s a family habit to play fast and loose with names. My Grandpa Jack (real name Franklin Curtis) didn’t know Jack wasn’t his name until he enlisted in the Army lol.
