I received my ballot in the mail today and someone had ripped it and appears to have stuffed bubble gum or some other sticky substance in it. I've already called the King County Elections office and a new ballot is on the way tomorrow. I was instructed to call the United States Postal Inspection Sevices to report the destroyed ballot too. I got a voicemail box and left my information but who knows how well that office is staffed right now.

Posting so if anyone else has similar issues they know what to do!

In other locations where I've seen a light-up right-turn arrow with a red line through it, I have always assumed that meant "No right on red, even if it would otherwise be permitted." (By contrast, if a traffic signal has red/yellow/green right-pointing arrows and the red arrow is lit up, that still means you can turn right on red after coming to a stop.)

But I've never seen one lit up at the same time as a green right arrow, which I have always assumed meant "You have the right of way to turn right no matter what."

This seems like a potential safety issue. In all places that I've seen an on-and-off "No right on red" arrow with a line through it, it's been at a bicycle crossing where the bikes had their own signal. I assume the reason is that at a normal pedestrian crossing, before you can make a right on red you can check that there are no pedestrians about to cross. But bicycles can come out of nowhere much faster, so rather than asking cars to "check", you simply tell them not to turn right on red when the bikes have a green. However -- if there is also a light-up green arrow, cars are likely to ignore the no-right-on-red and turn anyway!

In the wide shot you can see that the bicycle signal has a red. So at least in this specific moment, the traffic signals were not telling bicycles that they could go, at the same time they were telling cars they could turn right.

However, presumably there is supposed to be a rule that says "Don't light up the green right arrow and the no-right-on-red arrow at the same time", and we know that rule is not implemented correctly. So maybe the "Don't light up the green right arrow and the green bicycle arrow at the same time" rule is not implemented correctly either.

Seems like a sad little one-eyed Marvin(?) the Martian, from my Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck childhood.

Hey Seattle,

My neighbor’s dog is missing and I’m hoping someone here may have seen about and can help keep an eye out.

He’s was last seen in Maple Leaf on 9th and 75th near the 76 gas station earlier today.

He’s a toy terrier named Mocha.

Edit: Update, Mocha was found safe and sound!!! Thank you for everyone that boosted and kept and eye out! ❤️

I’m with U District Advocates. Last Saturday we closed University Way NE between NE 42nd and NE 43rd to cars as a pilot, and I wanted to share a short video of how it looked.

Tomorrow, Saturday, October 17, is the second and final day, 11am to 8pm. It’s free. There are games, a giant chess board, live music, and cafe seating, and the farmers market is nearby until 2pm. The U District light rail station is a block away.

We’re counting how people use the block with SDOT’s Public Life Data Protocol, so the results can be compared with the city’s existing data. If you stop by, I’d like honest feedback, including what didn’t work. I’ll answer questions in the comments.

After our kiddo had it, my wife and I dropped dead the same time yesterday. Projectile vomiting and sitting on the toilet all day. Severe stomach cramps we could hardly sleep. Really achey, but that’s partially due to not being able to move out of the bed most of the time. Didn’t eat anything all day.

Today is slightly better, we’ve had a couple of bites of food but the cramps and discomfort are still quite intense. We both think this is near the most sick we have ever been. Luckily our daughter seemed to get through it pretty quick. Us not so much. Anyone have the same thing and get tested?

Pictures are only 80mins apart lol

Hi there, I have a friend that volunteers at the Kent animal shelter and they are scheduling to euthanize a dog after just a week that is not aggressive but responding very negatively to the shelter environment after being found title to a pole. It feels like a very early decision and an unnecessary one. If anyone has any resources to dog rescues that are willing to take on another dog, it just feels like such a shame for this dog to be euthanized, especially since they are willing to transfer him.

Hi,

My partner was hit by a car yesterday (Oct 15) around 2:25 PM at 9th Ave N & John St, across from HEYTEA in South Lake Union.

The driver failed to stop at a stop sign. My partner suffered a concussion and multiple injuries and was taken to Harborview by ambulance.

We've checked with nearby businesses but haven't found any camera footage.

Did anyone witness the accident or happen to have dashcam footage? Any help would mean a lot.

Thank you!

Wondering if there’s anything I should try specifically when we’re there tomorrow :)
