Rant and Rave: Reader received great service after electricity was cut

The Seattle Times · last updated

RAVE to Seattle Public Utilities, specifically Seattle City Light, for the astounding service I received when my electricity was disconnected due to tree trimming I was having done. At least four different people called to make sure my service was restored. Everyone was extremely helpful.

RANT to drivers who remain stopped at a red light instead of making a right turn. Unless there’s a sign that says “No right on red” … GO!

RANT AND RAVE Rave to all the keepers of the Little Free Libraries around. They are great places for sharing books. Rant to those who don’t maintain them. In order for the system to work, they need to be maintained, rotated, curated. If you become a homeowner with one, either commit, get rid of it or find a neighbor who will take it on. The joy it can bring does not happen by magic.
