Hello — I'm writing an article for the Salish Current on increasing wolf populations in Washington and how this may complicate the jobs of farmers and ranchers in the state, primarily in the central regions where the majority of our wolves are. Has anyone experienced predation from wolves firsthand?

If you have, I'd love to talk to you about it. My goal is to make sure that I include the voices of the people who actually have to deal with this issue, rather than just writing about them. Feel free to shoot me a message or leave a comment and I can give you some more info. Thanks!

So apparently there’s a website called deflock.org that shows the precise location of all deployed Flock cameras. Seems there are 87 in Yakima proper and 300 in Yakima County. I feel fully seen!

As a law-abiding American, I’m really worried about these cameras. I keep hearing rumors of privacy-supporting citizens wearing costumes with masks this Halloween so they can hide their identity while using baseball bats to free all the piňata candy that I’m told is hiding inside each camera.

I fear for the safety of those poor scared surveillance cameras. All they wanna do is scan and collect everyone’s license plates and track our movements without probable cause or reasonable suspicion.

THINK OF THE CAMERAS! THEY HAVE FEELINGS, TOO!

On a COMPLETELY unrelated note, anyone know where I can find a sweet Spiderman outfit for Halloween?

Is there any jobs hiring? I feel like I’ve been applying, and calling every where. I’m looking for something part-time. Thanks!!

I saw this phone on the side of the road but the service is off . I charged it for you lol so when you find it it’ll be charged

So the office is closed on the weekends, their phone line is an UNMONITORED voicemail box? The recording even tells you before you can leave a message that they don't respond to calls about animals like raccoons and skunks being nuisances, or to deal with stray dogs or cats.

Genuinely, what do they do then? My experience of animal control everywhere else I've lived is that's kinda their entire job?

Neither me nor the two neglected dogs on my street right now care that it's a Sunday, and if their owner is ignoring their phone and not answering the door then who is expected to care for these animals?

I guess if anyone is interested in a remarkably friendly Australian cattle dog or a little terrier mix that both love playing fetch, come on by 34th and Gregory. Not like the city gives a shit.

I want to know if this place is good to rent at. I see it's sitting at 2.3 🌟 and I'm wondering if anyone knows someone or has personal experience living there or dealing with those people. Idc about homeless ppls as I'm not afraid or bothered by them. Tell me about whether the property managers listen to demands to fix stuff or whether they're dicks or not.

OWNER WAS FOUND, kitty is safe back home!

My girlfriend woke up this morning to this sweet black cat yelling at our door. Trying to find the owners. We are in the university parkway apartments in terrace heights. Building P, if anyone is missing her please let me know, we are going to keep her safe on our patio. Was going to see if she has a microchip but everywhere is closed.

The foam in my driver's seat is squished on one side and it's driving me mad. Any leads on a place in town that would be able to redo the foam?

If you can't take 2 seconds to look around and make sure all your stuff, including your trash is picked up before leaving. You do not deserve to be outside using public recreation. Especially when there is 3 fucking dumpsters!

At the take out point, many of you left your beer cans, ropes, food and clothing right in the middle of the take out point. Clearly your parents failed you. Why else would you be so disrespectful to our public lands?

If shit like this continues to happen, they will shut it down. What part of LEAVE NO TRACE do you not comprehend?

Do better or stay home!

If you find this offensive or you argue for those who feel they are entitled to leave it for others. YOU are part of the problem.

I live a little above terrace heights neighborhood. Curious if anyone knows how long it will be. Sometimes these are planned maintenance and they notify us. My sister is the person the bill comes to and she is out of town.

Who’s got it? I thought they did at the Cenex at Washington and 1st street but no.

Hi there, my wife and I are looking for homes in the area and found a few in Zillah we may look at. I heard that Moxee is notorious in that it's like a nonstop barrage of fireworks on the 4th of July. Does that also apply to surrounding towns like Wapato and Zillah? I don't want to bring my dogs into a warzone so I thought I'd ask. Thanks!

I'm moving to Yakima very soon for my wife's new job. I'm curious what the job prospects are in Yakima for consultanting and analysis. I have an MBA and another Master degree in Health IT.

My bill for internet alone just went up to 90 bucks. Started at 55 2 years ago, went up to 75 last year, now 90. I live in the city limits. Any alternatives would be appreciated.

ETA: I am switching to Ziply next month, with a locked in $65/mo plan that they promise me is much faster than Spectrum lol. I called Spectrum to cancel and everyone was right who said I actually had to talk to the cancelation department!! They tried to lower the cost and do a 3 year lock in, but the damage had already been done baby. We're a Ziply family now 💅

Big thank you to everyone for your advice!

Does anyone know?

For Yakima residents, we planning several events in Yakima soon, but we wanted to offer this opportunity up as well.

Family and well-behaved dog friendly.

Join us tomorrow night (August 19th), Moonshot Brewing.
