Isn't counting the number of homeless people in Snohomish county a bit like counting cats? They run when they see you coming and never stay in the same place from day to day?
Volunteers spent the day and early evening gathering data on Snohomish County's homeless population. This year's total still incomplete shows 2,291 individuals in 1,279 households without a permanent place to stay.
I wonder if they know about all the homeless camps like the one at the intersection of I-5 and 164th there south of the Park & Ride? Hell, they even take shifts panhandling for money at the off ramp.
What is really a problem is the number of unsecured properties across the county. They offer refuge and a place for transients and criminals to hang out. If you have a vacant home or property, I urge you to make sure that it is secure. A homeless person theoretically cooking food set fire to the garage of an abandoned house on Ash Way no too long ago. Don't let that happen to your property!
You know that if a trespasser or homeless person got hurt because your property wasn't secure, it would be you and your insurance that would have to pay!
When was the last time you went to a roller derby match? I bet you didn't even know that the Seattle area was host to some baaaad babes on wheels that duke it out all summer long to see who will be the champion roller derby team!
If you havent' seen it before, then I encourage you to check out the Rat City Roller Girls. The four standing teams do battle all summer long in brutal and sometimes amusing combat at Magnuson Park. The monthly bouts generally sell out, so if you are thinking of going, then you might want to get tickets early, but not before I do! Go have some fun and check it out. You will be glad that you ventured out to see something new (well sort of) and exciting (sit in front of a corner and find out how exciting!)
DDIY Home Renewal is primarily residential interior remodeling company, with a focus on painting and bringing homes up to date, improving storage, and improving its overall appeal.
To give you some background on my company and myself, I come from a long line of contractors, remodelers and builders and started my construction career somewhere at the age of 12 with a broom in one hand, and a paintbrush and the other. Also carrying on the family tradition, I spent several years in residential real estate and have seen my share of the good, the bad and the ugly.
DDIY Home Renewal is focused on making homes new again. Many of our clients have either just bought a home, and want it repainted to suit their style and tastes or are planning on selling a home and need it updated and prepared to go on the market. As such, we paint a lot of homes in a year, remodel a lot of bathrooms,and update kitchens. This isn't to say that we don't do small jobs either. We also do our share of faucet replacements, minor repairs, and recently introduced closet systems and overhead garage storage into our mix of products and services.
When you need at home ready to put on the market, DDIY Home Renewal is the company a call.
