To start this is discussing about $370K funds.

These block grants are money the city is given to do specific *kinds* of things that it will lose if it does not spend. They city wants to move around what it originally meant to spend them on, in order to make sure that it all actually gets spent.

Today was the last day of the Shoreline (WA) Farmer's Market so I hauled home the bike valet stand. 2 banners, 100 feet of mesh plastic fencing and a bike rack, plus the bin of stuff on the front.

Begins with mayor declaring this week "volunteer appreciation week" specifically calling out a local foodbank effort.

Super happy with my new transit tracker. Now I just have to figure out where to put it because randomly on this table is not gonna work.

Apologies for my crap camera.

Now back on council for discussion.

Ramsdell is talking about the age of the tree as being 300-400 years old. The aerial imagery taken from 1936 does not show this tree.

Rode my daughter to a weekly class. Every time it rains I offer to drive instead but she chooses the bike.
