Climate Action Shoreline: Act Now

Wednesday, April 26, 2023

Mishirasu asian pear blossoms

Story and Photos by Diane Lobaugh

Living in Shoreline, in this corner of the USA, I think it is hard to see the day-to-day effects of climate change. We still have water, and not too much, access to food, not too extreme weather. 

We do breathe the smoke from forest fires in later summer, witness flooding not too far away, and at times have a low snowpack though it is good this year. 

Yet there is a climate emergency world-wide. Everything we do, or don't do, affects climate change, even if we can't see and feel it. In industrialized nations like the US, we are big consumers and polluters from fossil fuel used for transportation and heating.

One important role we have in the Climate Emergency is to stop using fossil fuels as fast and as completely as we can. The next 5 years are critical...not 2050, or 2030, but now.

Industrialized nations produce most of the fossil fuels but are least affected by climate change. Or if there is a disaster there is resource and infrastructure to rebuild. Of course, even in the USA this depends on the region, and which communities have access to resource. 

William's Pride apple blossoms

In the Pajaro Valley in California last month, because of the extreme rain there have been floods, loss of homes, farmland, jobs, and this has been devastating to the people there, many who are farm workers. They have not recovered.

According to the United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Africa accounts for the smallest share of global greenhouse gas emissions, at just 3.8%, yet is one of the most vulnerable continents in the world to climate change. 

There is already drought, flooding, food scarcity and loss of farmland due to extreme weather. Many people have died, been displaced, are hungry, are struggling now. And it is getting worse quickly. There is also dumping of toxic waste (plastics) from industrialized nations polluting land and water, as well as poisoning of the land and water from mining. The extracted minerals are often for the industrialized nations.

It is important to know the effects of the climate emergency world-wide, even though it is hard to hear about, or observe day-to-day. This truth keeps me working and writing to change our attitudes and actions that do impact our world community.

Flowering red currant

We all get to make individual changes in our lives, which will vary based on our usage and resource. I am hopeful about doing this together, as a community of neighbors.

We can make friends and neighbors of everyone. We can share resources so that everyone has basic needs met, locally and globally. We can buy and use less. We can stop taking and using more resources than we need. We can stop burning fossil fuels for energy. 

Many of us can shift to electricity at home, work and on the road. We can learn from our global neighbors about the impact of climate change in their communities. We can listen to each other about our hopes and our fears and ideas.

Enjoy the spring flower photos from my yard and neighborhood. And I hope to see you in the neighborhood.

Tips for living with coyotes

Tuesday, April 25, 2023

This coyote ate the nuts that Gloria Z. Nagler put out for birds. 
She reports that the coyote liked them so much it is considering going vegan!
In Shoreline and Lake Forest Park, you can expect that every wooded hillside or green space will have a coyote den. 

The only incident I am aware of was a coyote family which attacked and killed a domestic sheep in LFP. 

It came after a different LFP resident was feeding dog food to the coyotes - teaching them not to fear humans.

The universal reaction from residents spotting a coyote is to grab a camera and get a picture.

Following is information from the Department of Fish and Wildlife

--Diane Hettrick

Tips for living with coyotes

Coyotes (Canis latrans) are present across nearly all of Washington state, from the shrubsteppe to the alpine, as well as many urban and suburban areas. 

They are common in many larger, wooded green spaces and parks within cities including Shoreline and Lake Forest Park.

You may hear coyotes more frequently than you see them, especially when they have pups. Juvenile coyotes are often heard in summer, trying out their voices. Coyote sightings often increase in winter when they are more active, or in late-winter and spring when they may have dens and pups to care for.

Coyotes are most active at night and during the early-morning and evening hours. 

Their diet is diverse and adaptable to what’s around, including everything from rabbits and small rodents to garbage, birdseed, and fruit from trees.

Coyotes can also benefit humans and ecosystems by helping control populations of mice, rats, voles, moles, and rabbits.

Urban coyotes are a good reminder to keep a close eye on children, chickens and other domestic animals, and small pets or to keep them inside or in an outbuilding if unsupervised. Visit our coyote webpage or keep reading for tips to avoid conflicts with coyotes.

To minimize the risk, keep cats inside, keep dogs leashed, avoid early morning and late evening walks with your pet in areas where coyotes are known to be, and generally keep an eye on children and pets.

Never run away from a coyote! Make loud noises, wave sticks, squirt it with a hose, or otherwise “haze” the coyote if it approaches. Stand tall, stare into the eyes of the coyote and shout at it. You also can throw something at it.

The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) asks not to receive reports of coyotes going about their normal business, as this is a common species and we prioritize reports of species of greatest conservation need.

If residents witness a coyote attack on supervised pets (such as leashed dogs) or backyard chickens and other fowl, or other aggressive behavior, they are encouraged to report it to WDFW biologists and enforcement officers at: wdfw.wa.gov/get-involved/report-observations

In the event of an immediate public safety issue, wildlife violation, or an injured or dangerous animal, call the WDFW Enforcement office at 360–902–2936 or email enforcement-web@dfw.wa.gov

Due to WDFW’s need to focus on fish and wildlife species of conservation concern, in most cases when coyote management is required in urban or suburban areas that management is contracted by the city, town or private landowners to U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Wildlife Services.

Ending: WA Notify app for COVID-19 and 511 for traffic alerts

Going away May 11, 2023
On May 11, 2023 the state will end the WA Notify program which allowed subscribers to both enter information about their own positive COVID cases and be notified if they had potentially been exposed.

Since its launch in Nov. 2020, approximately 235,000 participants confirmed a positive test result in WA Notify, generating more than 2.5 million anonymous exposure notifications, preventing tens of thousands of COVID-19 cases, and saving lives. 

Washington was one of the first states to implement exposure notification technology and consistently had one of the lowest COVID-19 death rates in the country, despite also being host to the earliest known domestic case of the virus.
The State Dept of Health (DOH) says that "As the Public Health Emergency ends, high levels of vaccination, combined with widespread population immunity and available treatments, have significantly reduced the risk of severe illness, hospitalization, or death from COVID-19. These factors have also contributed to the reduced need for the WA Notify application."

Going away on May 19, 2023
Another notification program ending soon is 511
 

Starting Friday, May 19, Washington state travelers will no longer be able to access automated statewide travel information by calling 511.

For the past 20 years, the 511 phone number has provided a way to receive traffic impacts, crash alerts, current and future weather forecasts, mountain pass conditions and ferry information (schedules, fares and wait times) as well as reversible-express lane status.

So, why is 511 going away? Simply put, new technology has led to a dramatic decrease in the number of people using the service.

The 511 phone system is also expensive to operate, costing more than $150,000 a year in hard costs and requiring many staff hours to continually update travel information in the increasingly antiquated technology and to maintain signs about the program.

There are other ways to get travel information

LFP Police officer nearly run down by suspect in stolen vehicle

Officers were at the vehicle when it sped off
Photo courtesy LFP Police cam
On April 14, 2023 at 5pm LFP officers were dispatched to a welfare check regarding two subjects slumped over in a vehicle. 

Officers arrived and discovered two subjects wearing ski masks and gloves, slumped over, with drug paraphernalia visible inside the running vehicle. 

The vehicle had no license plates and was reported stolen. 

Officers attempted to get the occupants to exit the vehicle, however when the driver woke up, he refused to comply with officers orders and drove away, straight at one of our officers. 

The vehicle hit a mailbox which then struck this officer in the leg. The officer is extremely fortunate he was not struck by the vehicle itself as it sped past. 

The vehicle crashed a short distance away and both occupants were taken into custody without further incident.

HomeTechHacker: Smart Home Tech that can increase your home’s value

Sunday, April 23, 2023

Looking to increase the value of your home and at the same time increase the convenience of your home and enjoy it more? Why not add some smart home tech?

Smart home technology has come a long way in recent years, and it's no longer just a futuristic concept. 

With a wide range of devices and systems available, it's easier than ever to transform your home into a smart home, and the benefits go beyond just convenience and comfort. 

One of the major advantages of smart home tech is that it can increase the value of your home, making it a smart investment for homeowners.

One of the key ways that smart home tech can increase the value of your home is through energy efficiency. 

Many smart home devices are designed to help you save energy, such as smart thermostats that can automatically adjust the temperature based on your schedule and energy-efficient smart appliances. 

By reducing your energy usage, you can save money on your monthly bills and make your home more appealing to potential buyers. 

I personally use and recommend an ecobee Thermostat.

Another way that smart home tech can increase the value of your home is by increasing security and safety

Smart security systems can alert you to any unusual activity and allow you to monitor your home remotely, giving you peace of mind whether you're home or away. Smart door locks and smart garage doors can also provide an extra layer of security, and smart smoke and carbon monoxide detectors can help protect your home from potential hazards.

In addition to energy efficiency and security, smart home tech can also make your home more comfortable and convenient

Smart lighting systems allow you to control the lighting in your home from your smartphone, and smart home assistants like Amazon Echo and Google Home can make it easy to control other smart devices and perform tasks like setting reminders and playing music. 

These features can make your home more attractive to potential buyers and increase its value.

There are many different types of smart home tech to choose from, and it can be overwhelming to decide which devices are right for your home. 

Some popular options include smart thermostats, smart security systems, smart lighting systems, and smart home assistants. It's a good idea to do some research and consider your specific needs and budget before making any purchases. 

You can find advice about which smart home devices to buy using my simple HomeTechHacker Technology Advisor. Give it a try!

If you're thinking about selling your home in the future, it's worth considering how smart home tech can increase its value. 

While it may require some initial investment to install smart devices and systems, the benefits can far outweigh the costs in terms of energy savings, increased security, and convenience. 

By making your home more appealing to potential buyers, you can potentially increase its value and get a better return on your investment.

Go make your home smart today!

Edmonds Police are searching for the shooter who injured a 13 year old Edmonds boy in a drive-by shooting on Saturday, April 22, 2023 while he and a friend were walking in the 20800 block of 76th Ave W in Edmonds.

The thirteen-year-old victim suffered a gunshot wound to the pelvis and was quickly transported to Harborview where he was listed in stable condition. 

He was with a 14 year old friend from Mountlake Terrace, who escaped injury. Bullets struck nearby buildings but there were no other injuries.

According to Edmonds police, the initial information revealed that this was not a random event and that the suspect(s) and victims had some connection.

The incident started just after 6:45pm on Saturday April 22, 2023. 

Witnesses say that the two victims were walking along the west side of 76th Ave West. The suspect vehicle, a white truck, was driving northbound when it stopped, and a passenger exited and opened fire toward the victims. The passenger got back into the vehicle, and it fled northbound.

Evidence left at the scene indicates two handguns were likely used in the assault. 

The suspect was described as an unknown race male wearing a black hoodie sweatshirt, black sweatpants, wearing a mask. 

The suspect vehicle was described as 2000-07 white Chevrolet Colorado 4-door with custom black and silver rims, a hardshell white truck bed cover, and a white decal across the top of the windshield

The public is advised not to approach and instead call 911 if they see the vehicle or possible suspect. Edmonds PD detectives responded and took the lead in the investigation, collecting evidence and interviewing witnesses. 

If the public believes they have video surveillance or any other information that may assist, they are asked to call the police non-emergency line, 425-407-3999 or email policetips@edmondswa.gov
