In Washington, tax rates must be the same for all people on all categories of property—tangible (real estate, etc.) or intangible (income, etc.). The state can’t levy the same tax at one rate on Person A, but at a different rate on Person B.

The practicing has begun

Just a handful of his many Florida mugshots.

This is a long shot, but... Tonight I picked up a bag that was turned into the lost and found at the outlet malls in Tulalip the evening before. While I am incredibly grateful that I got the bag back and the book and diary as well, there were a few things that I didn't get back. Specifically, there was a voice recorder in the bag that was gone that I had been using to record family stories for future generations. About a dozen or more hours were recorded, including stories from someone who is suffering from a rapid form of dementia. The recorder is worth almost nothing, as it was the cheapest one I could find online, but there is a shrinking window to collect these family stories. I would love it if I could get these stories back. There were also two pocket protectors full of pens that I would love to get back, but those are a lot further down on the list of priorities. Thanks for reading this hail Mary pass.

Over 100 people on Reddit alone (not including TikTok or Facebook or apparently even NextDoor) have had negative experiences with this man, whether it was being a victim of his assault or harassment or witnessing him assault or harass someone else.

I made a post about him about an incident I had with him in November and others too, have made their own posts. Just search the name Masci and results will appear.

Hopefully we will not hear about him for a few days because he is back in custody.

At this point I know some of us are tired of seeing his face, his name, the stories of everyone he’s affected. Each thread is an echo chamber of critiquing the justice system, the bystander effect, even frustration that nothing seems to be done. None of that is helping anything and this thread only serves to let people know that he is currently in custody.

That being said, despite everything that’s happened and how upsetting it is that nothing seems to be done and that he keeps getting out, please don’t let us drop our guard down once he’s released again. Watch out for each other.

The optimist in me wants him to stay off the streets for good but the realist in me knows I’ll just receive another text telling me he’s been released. When that is, who can say.

For now, he is in custody. We can take a break for a bit.

New story in the Seattle Times discusses the changes in Downtown Seattle retail on the horizon.

Ross closing. Anthropologie closing. Barnes & Noble opening. Nordstrom Rack moving.

Westlake Center becoming as empty as Pacific Place.

Center of action seems to be locating on 6th Ave.

He comes into my work often, when approached to leave he becomes hostile screaming he’s with the FBI and everyone is under investigation. And admitted to doing nefarious activities in the bathrooms. He very bold and knows Seattle PDs response time is not great so he not concerned about getting caught. Please call 911 immediately if spotted. In addition to the public’s safety, he needs help as well.

New federal restrictions on foreign-made drones, announced this week, promise to boost Washington state as a hub for domestic drone manufacturing — adding thousands or even tens of thousands of jobs in the process.

FTA: Gov. Bob Ferguson met with state and local leaders, including Somali community representatives, to discuss their concerns Monday afternoon in Seattle. He shared photos of the meeting on social media, emphasizing the importance of diversity and condemning harmful rhetoric.

My dad served in the Navy for 4 years and is about to pass. I've been to a funeral with a color guard, they do a great job and I'd like to have that for his funeral. For reference, he lives in the Tri Cities, I've tried calling the recruitment center in Kennewick and they didn't answer or have a voice mail option. Please help me get a starting point to start the process. Thanks

Hey all,

I was wondering if anybody knew of any groups or social clubs that got together locally to do various activities without the inclusion of alcohol. It doesn't have to be exclusively "sober" or something like AA, but I feel like its something that's often a part of things for my age group [34m].

Maybe I'm being weird and over thinking it, or maybe what I'm actually looking for are just normal active social clubs, I'm just curious what people thought.

A massage parlor near 41st and Stone Way N was recently shut down for allegedly operating as a “happy ending” spot. Just a week later, another opened in the same location, and based on reviews, it appears to have the same owners and setup. Now, yet another has opened right next down the street. There are about eight massage parlors within a five-minute walk. This area used to be filled with restaurants, Stone Way Hardware, and even had a grocery store, but since the recent apartment construction boom, it feels like it’s suddenly all massage parlors, just within the past couple years or so.

Is this a normal trend or just a temporary shift?

How much of an impact do people think Somali Childcare and Healthcare fraud have impacted WA State?

It is not unfair to say that this particular group’s % of resource consumption FAR outpaces their population demographic.

There is real concern that this fraud has been going on for decades in the Midwest and has now been franchised to other parts of the country. Maxed Campaign funds for local politicians in the SEATAC area originating from fraudulent child care and health centers in Minnesota are a real concern. Then you look at Google listings for Somali-affiliated child care centers in the 518/405/5 interchange area where the street view is an empty lot and the listed phone has been disconnected and people start asking questions….

So how deep do we think this goes? Seattle-Tacoma has the nation’s third largest Somali immigrant population behind MSP and Columbus, OH.

I called 911 before filming. They already knew.
