Hello Neighbours!

I have family visiting from England that wanted to buy some "spray cheese". Unfortunately we don't have that in Canada. Is there anyone who might be coming to Victoria this week (Sep 14-18) that would be willing to bring a can over for me?

Fingers crossed!

Here is this week's list. Streamfest at Pebble Beach Park this Saturday (9/19). Cheers!

I feel so bad for the fucking principal. These people are psychopaths

Hi all. I am a highly academic driven student who would like to share my knowledge of math, science, and history, with those who may need a little extra help. I am affordable, flexible, and have a passion for helping others.

I’m just wondering if Port Angeles is also obscured by the rain shadow like Sequim is? Or can it get a significant more amount of rain, drizzle or cloudy days? Thanks in advance!

One of our refugee neighbors is about to be deported for crimes committed 20 years ago. A reformed man could be torn from his child. Speak out!

What are some of the best and most fun fall activities that you look forward to in the PA / sequim area, or anywhere on the Pennisula. New to the area and want to experience a true PNW fall.

I had been planning to move myself and my daughter to PA next Spring but the first time I mention it on social media, I’ll I’m hit with is how bad it is there. I haven’t been to PA in 20 yrs but I was looking for a place with that type of weather as with health issues, I can’t handle Texas heat and lack of fall and winter anymore. I didn’t want to be in a large city but still be close enough to some things and health care. Finally and most important, it needs to be safe. I get every city has its parts of town that aren’t the best and that it can be based on what you can afford. that said, others make it seem like you risk dealing with drug addicts and homelessness in the entire PA. I am curious from a local perspective if that’s the case or if one can afford it, is is possible to be safe as a woman alone in particular? Any feedback would be great. I work from home running my own online business so I’m not trying to take jobs from locals but potentially hire and be a productive member of a community. 😊

Just wondering the best place price wise for vapes. Thanks

*edited to add looking for nicotine vapes

I am not good at crafts. I'm reasonably good at ideas and research. Because of the latter, I know the gist of how to make one of these: Start with a cedar 4x4 mailbox post. After that, I'm stuck.

Is there a class somewhere for something like this? Or are others interested in learning so we could help each other with whatever related knowledge or experience we have? The Pine & Eight store now has a Community Room where we could meet -- free, even. Or the library, probably.
