Garbage Update
West Seattle Blog states that for those of us with garbage pick up on Mondays (weather permitting) they will TRY to pick garbage tomorrow. How do I know this? From following West Seattle Blog's Twitter profile.
westseattleblog @mortgageporter everything. trucks won't try today will try tomorrow. we'll check with SPU late in the day if they have a prognosis #seatst
I'm amazed at how much storm information has been provided via various forms of social media/networking. In fact, I wrote an article about that here.
Currently, it looks like if you normally have garbage picked up on Mondays, you should roll out all of your garbage (including recycle and yard waste) before tomorrow morning and they will TRY to make the rounds. If I hear of anything new, I'll let you know…or you can check out WSB's twitter (or go directly to their blog).
UPDATE 9:26 AM December 23, 2008: According to WSB's Twitter–NO GARBAGE PICK UP TODAY. Drats!
Missing Husky
I was just walking my dog by Angeline and Beach Drive where a lady was frantically calling for her dog. She told me that he was last seen running south on Beach Drive. I wasn't able to get her contact info–I'm hoping she lives on Angeline…I believe she drives a Volvo sedan.
Please keep a look out for a Husky who's missing his human.
News Release from the City of Seattle regarding the Weather
On Sunday, Hiawatha Community Center will be open from noon – 5:00 pm for shelter should you need it. From the Press Release:
“Seattle Public Utilities reminds residents to prepare water pipes for cold weather. Shut off outside faucets, drain the water and protect them by insulating them with rags or foam covers. Pipes in exposed or unheated areas (attics, basements and garages) should be wrapped with tape and insulating materials, available at local hardware stores. Drain and remove all outdoor hoses, and shut off and drain in-ground sprinkler systems.
Residents are also urged to protect indoor sink pipes that are against exterior walls, by opening under-sink cabinet doors, allowing heat to circulate. During severe cold, allow the faucet farthest from your front door to slowly drip cold water. Set your thermostat no lower than 55 degrees Fahrenheit, day or night (even if you are away).
If a water pipe breaks, immediately close the main shut-off valve to stop excessive flooding. If you cannot turn off the main shut-off valve, SPU customers can call (206) 386-1800 and a crew will turn off the water at the meter for a standard service charge.”
