Like the title says, there was ICE agents by the Uwajimaya June 9th, 2025. This comes from word of mouth. Be careful in the general area, as they may also target the nearby Home Depot.

Question New to the Renton and King county is the norm?

I moved into an apartment and came from Pierce County. I love the apartment, and this is about to be my second month here. I am curious as to if utilities being this high is normal.. I'm seeing these charges being added up, which is significantly higher than my old apartment. I am fine paying the 200 more than I originally thought I would be paying, but if these are odd charges, please let me know!

woke up to go to work and saw these on my car windshield.. was in a rush to go to work so i brought it with me. I probably shouldn’t have touched it but I am very thrown off by this gesture. My car does not seem to have any damage to it also. I do not talk to any of my neighbor at my apartment and the items that were present have me curious whether i should be worried or not. Maybe this is just a nothing burger ?

Local Business Seattle business owners: what pest issues can cause problems during inspections?

3 Upvotes

I work with AMPM Exterminators in seattle, and I’ve noticed that pest issues can sometimes go unnoticed until a routine inspection finds them,
For restaurants, warehouses, and offices, problems aren’t always visible. They can sometimes be found behind equipment, near walk in coolers, inside wall voids, or around utility openings.

This seems especially common in older buildings around seattle and industrial areas like Kent and tukwila.

For those who manage a commercial property, do you regularly check for possible entry points, or do you mainly rely on scheduled pest treatments?

What has worked best for your business?

Recommendations Renton School District and Special Education

13 Upvotes

If you have a child on an IEP and they are not making progress:

  1. Immediately request an IEP team meeting in writing to review the plan. Ask the school for objective data and work samples showing your child's progress (or lack thereof). You may need to ask for updated evaluations or a full revision of the IEP to adjust goals and increase services.

It is imperative that you receive ACTUAL work samples and data, do not allow them to "tell you"; the data and samples should do the talking

  1. Immediately opt out of state level testing and request alternative end of the unit assessments for your child

To opt out of state testing in Washington, submit a written refusal request to your child's principal or school district assessment coordinator. For end-of-unit special education assessments, IEP Teams are legally required to document accommodations, modifications, or alternate testing metrics.

  1. Request that you child not be graded based on standards as your child has an IEP and they should be graded on the progress of their IEP goals. Your child would not be receiving standard based education as they have an IEP

To request that your child's grades be based on their IEP goals rather than general grade-level standards, you should request an IEP team meeting to discuss a formal grading modification.

SAMPLE LETTER:

Subject: Request for IEP Meeting to Discuss Grading Adjustments for [Child's Name]

Dear [Case Manager's Name or Administrator's Name],

I hope this email finds you well.

I am writing to formally request an IEP team meeting to discuss how [Child's Name]’s academic performance is being evaluated. Currently, [Child's Name] is being graded using standard grade-level expectations. Because [Child's Name] has an Individualized Education Program (IEP) and receives specialized instruction, I believe it is inappropriate to grade them solely based on grade-level standards and not their IEP progress. I would like to ensure that the IEP states that my child receives a modified curriculum so it can be used to inform grades.

I would like to discuss adjusting [Child's Name]’s grading system so that it reflects their progress toward their specific IEP goals, alongside any necessary accommodations or modifications to the general curriculum. My goal is to ensure that their report card accurately reflects their hard work and the specific skills they are mastering according to their IEP.

ALTERNATE LOCATION THAN THE DEALERSHIP TO SERVICE MY VEHICLE DOOR LOCK??

7 Upvotes

I'm at a complete loss here! I can't manually, remotely (using key fob), or using arm panel switch, lock the driver's side door of my 2004 KIA Sorento. No problems locking the front passenger, rear doors, or cargo hatch--only the driver's door with a problem! I'm the original owner, and this has never happened before. I know how to shop eBay for an OEM driver door actuator (if necessary) but I don't know what is needed to fix the problem! The timing is terrible: I'm semi-retired, in the area for cancer treatment, and money is tight. Any suggestions greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Approached by couple in Target at the landing

38 Upvotes

I was at target today at around 7:30 I was approached by a girl and I guy. They made quite uncomfortable small talk with me. Once the female noticed my ring, the conversation was brought to an end. I saw them approach some other folks in the store. The male held his phone out as though he may have been recording possibly?

Both brunette, the male has very bright colored eyes. Very good looking in an uncanny valley way.

Does anyone know what they’re doing or if they were selling something?
