King County Shrinks Vashon Septic Inspection Zone From 1,300 Parcels to Just 75 Properties

King County has dramatically scaled back a proposal that would have required septic inspections on roughly 1,300 waterfront parcels on Vashon Island, narrowing the plan to about 75 properties clustered along isolated shoreline stretches. County officials say the smaller zone can still satisfy the minimum requirements of state law while sparing hundreds of homeowners from new inspection mandates.

America keeps funding homelessness instead of ending it | Opinion

Imagine calling the fire department as your home burns, only to discover the firefighters have been pouring gasoline on the flames. Worse, they demand ever-larger budgets, congratulate themselves for responding to more fires and insist that questioning their effectiveness threatens public safety. Welcome to America's "Homeless Industrial Complex." Recent revelations from Seattle and New York show just how disturbing it has become. In Seattle, an independent financial review uncovered a staggering $16.7 million shortfall at the King County Regional Homelessness Authority, following years of financial mismanagement. The agency spent money it never earned, accumulated debt and incurred millions in interest expenses. Meanwhile, its CEO and her deputy earn more than $600,000 combined annually . Now Seattle and King County taxpayers are being asked to foot the bill . Across the country, an Oct. 31 New York Post investigation revealed that state Attorney General Letitia James' office has taken no enforcement action against three major homeless shelter operators despite serious findings against them by government watchdogs. Meanwhile, executives, lobbyists and associates connected to those operators contributed more than $56,000 to her political campaigns. Among the reported findings: One operator overbilled taxpayers more than $566,000; another faced scrutiny over insider transactions and

7 dishes from the year of Seattle's 1962 World's Fair, from alder-smoked salmon to glazed char siu

The Century 21 Exposition opened April 21, 1962, on a 74-acre site in Seattle, and the Space Needle had gone up from groundbreaking to finished tower in about a year so it would be ready for opening day. Nearly ten million visitors came through before the gates closed on October 21. The food that got the most attention was the Belgian waffle, which Walter Cleyman served with strawberries and whipped cream at two stands, selling more than half a million of them over six months.

Seattle council upholds mayor’s veto on homeless RV permitting

(The Center Square) - The Seattle City Council rejected a vote on Thursday to override a mayoral veto of an RV permitting system for homeless individuals that the dais had passed just a few weeks earlier. Councilmember Rob Saka joined Councilmembers Alexis Mercedes Rinck, Eddie Lin and Dionne Foster in opposing the override after voting for the bill last month. Mayor Katie Wilson vetoed Councilmember Dan Strauss’ program last week with Saka’s support despite his criticism of her proposed budget cuts. When asked Tuesday why they were holding the vote, Rinck said the council believed it must act on a veto within 30 days under the city charter, regardless of the outcome. Councilmember Bob Kettle, the public safety chair, argued Thursday that they must address the impact of RVs on the community. “Voting to sustain the veto is voting for the status quo; it's voting to plan for a plan, and a vote to delay taking action,” Strauss said before the override failed to meet the required six-vote threshold. The bill Wilson vetoed was just one of six that made up Strauss’ Vehicle Resident Assistance Program. Wilson signed the other parts of VRAP, but the one she rejected included most

BIZNOTE: Another closure this weekend – West Seattle Junction restaurant Taste & Best, after 3 1/2 months

Yet another local business closure looming this weekend – along with West Seattle Coin Laundry and The Wash Dog, add to the list Taste & Best, the Indian restaurant at 4752 California SW that never even put up a permanent sign (the photo above is from tonight). After a reader tip, we stopped in on the way to tonight’s West Seattle Art Walk and a staff member told us they’re closing Sunday (November 15), also mentioning that the restaurant is for sale (this blind listing appears to match). The restaurant opened in late July, less than a month after Great American Diner and Bar closed in that space. (Great American’s owner said at the time he was looking for another West Seattle location; when we checked back with him recently, he said he was “still looking.”) Before Great American, the corner space had been through a parade of establishments, including another with a short stay (Shelby’s, less than six months). Taste & Best’s owners opened a location in Shoreline almost simultaneous with West Seattle; no word yet on its fate.
