Yes, rail transit between Burton and Talequah!

Oh Jennifer, I just love this. I live near 267th and I would be ok with 45mph, but no one no one drives that straight away at less than 55mph. But I love your writing.

This is perfect. Just what we needed during snowmageddon. Thank you and why can’t they stock enough oat milk?

I had train tracks leading into the water at a house I rented in Dockton. It was for boats built at the Martinolich boat yard. They’re for launching boats only, ma’am, trains don’t do well underwater.

I did think the people walking up their recycling were pretty bold! Funny that you noticed it too!

Thank you! This is hilarious

I can’t tell you how much I enjoy reading your posts! Every one of them cracks me up. Thanks for keeping us updated.

In the confusion and pain of 2020, many helped. The front line efforts of our Fire Department, who also oversaw the volunteer Emergency Operations Center, and coordinated with Vashon Be Prepared was a remarkable effort on many fronts. Help for businesses, unemployed, shelter, food and efforts to help people understand the essential need for masks, washing and distancing. The Medical Reserve Corp (volunteer doctors/ nurses/ et.al.) set up on-island Covid testing with extraordinary efforts from Community Emergency Response Team. Their efforts for rapid testing and contact tracing was phenomenal! So… although the year was painful… the community spirit which makes Vashon such an incredible place…. shown brightly! Now, how can we ensure island resiliency into the future? Knowing the mainland will not be able to help in the Big One (earthquake) every household needs to be ready. That readiness will also allow our ability to handle winter snows, floods and fires by BEING PREPARED!

Hilarious! At least the fruit stand at the 4-way stop is no longer an issue. Actually, I kinda miss that being an issue.
Happy New Year Vashonians and Mauryites!

This is a nice article Anna great work. It really shows how crazy this island is.
