Rant and Rave: Reader appreciates Waste Management workers

The Seattle Times · last updated

RAVE to Waste Management workers. I imagine the workers who collect our garbage and recycling week in and week out don’t get many on-the-job kudos. Well, my rave goes to the Waste Management team who show me every Friday what a skilled, efficient and completely professional team they are handling our garbage disposal. From expertly navigating their truck through our narrow residential streets (parked cars and traffic circles) to emptying our bins with expert proficiency, they totally rock. Thank you both!

RANT to the city for maintaining paved but not unpaved alleys. Why do property owners have to maintain a space that is mainly used by heavy city utility trucks that tear up the surface? Any more property tax increases? I don’t think so!

RAVE to Alderwood mall for the salute to Memorial Day with a traditional missing soldier table setting in the food court. Well done!
