RANT AND RAVE Rave to the fire department for keeping our fire hydrants cleaned out for top performance. Rant to them for not giving us notice when we won’t have any potable water in our neighborhoods for several hours. We need notice so we can have bottled water on hand. It’s awful not having any water for several hours!

RAVE to the staff and students at Hawthorne Elementary who were so welcoming and helpful to the nervous student from Nicaragua I helped enroll.

RAVE to Renton Licensing on Williams in Renton. I dreaded the stop and the wait but to my surprise, smiles and efficiency awaited me. I was so pleased to get my handicapped parking passes renewed and hear a “Have a nice day” as I walked out.
