I don't understand how certain cities try and ignore state law and the voice of the citizens. It is…Read More the jobs of the courts to decide legality of laws, not individual politicians. Washington DC is federally controlled area and they have medical marijuana. In a time of fiscal belt tightening, how can the city justify spending valuable resources when state appellate courts have sided against cities doing exact same. And just for common knowledge, no smoking is allowed at collectives so if your statement is all hyperbole.

I agree with jp206 on the fact that I rather the collectives operating in a commercial district than…Read More around our neighborhoods, illegally at a street corner, or at our parks. You could have a MMJ delivery service company living right next to your house and you don't even know it! There is a lot of misunderstanding as far as how the collectives operate. There are strict guidelines and procedures that must be followed. Personally I don't agree with what Seattle has done where they allow collectives everywhere with not much regulations in effect. Cities like Renton should consider putting a rules and regulations that would limit the number and proximity of collectives to each other. This way, it will not be ‘out of control’. Change is here, learn to harness it.

jp206, in Kristina's defense, she may object to the affect produced by marijuana in its users…Read More ("whoa, DUDE") as much as the potential effects to others from second-hand smoke.
Judging by the ads in local papers, it seems unlikely that medical marijuana collectives are operating under the types of collective garden restrictions described in this article. (If limited to a maximum of 10 members, is mass advertising necessary or advisable?)

Hi Eli,
The main change here is that the Air Traffic Control tower, currently supported by the FAA,…Read More will close. Pilots will now be responsible to coordinate their own take-offs and landings.
Here's my best attempt at a metaphor: It's like taking a synchronized "smart traffic" stoplight at one of the busiest intersections in town and replacing it with a 4-way stop w/signs.
Many officials at other airports have aired safety concerns over such a change. Last year, Renton airport had 97,000 movements — quite a bit of traffic, especially when everybody decides on a sunny weekend that they want to take the Cessna for a spin...

It's great how Jeff and Erin personalize each of their Grocery Outlet Stores. Kudos to them for…Read More including local community memorabilia in their stores.
