A chat with a neighbor about the new park sign made me see things differently

I was walking my dog by the new park on 96th Street and ran into Mrs. Chen. She pointed out that the sign for the community garden doesn't mention anything about volunteer hours, which might keep people from joining. It made me think we should push for clearer info on the board. Has anyone else noticed details on community posts that could be more helpful?

The Bothell board meeting last Tuesday completely changed how I think about public comment

I went to the city council meeting at Bothell City Hall expecting the usual 3-minute time limit for speakers. I was there to talk about the proposed changes to parking near the library. Right before my turn, a guy got up and went way over his time, ranting about something totally unrelated to the agenda. The mayor had to cut him off, and by the time I got to speak, they were rushing everyone and I barely got my main point out. Now I'm writing everything down and practicing to keep it under 2 minutes, just in case. Has anyone else had to completely rework how they prepare for these meetings because of one bad experience?

The guy at the Bothell post office who asked me to mail a potato

I was in line at the Bothell post office last Tuesday, just trying to send a birthday card. The man in front of me turned around, held up a single russet potato, and said, 'Do you think this needs extra postage? My buddy in Texas lost a bet.' He was completely serious. The clerk took it, weighed it, and put it in a box with a straight face. Has anyone else had a totally normal errand in town turn weird like that?

I used to just check the board for event flyers, now I look at the online calendar first. The change happened maybe 6 months ago when they started updating it more.

Has anyone tried selling to webuyhouseasis in Bothell?

I'm moving across the country next week and need to sell my house ASAP. Is webuyhouseasis reliable for a fast close?
