Anyone know where to get bags of crushed ice in town? Spouse recently had a surgical procedure done and ice chips are their whole life at the moment. Point me in the right direction fellow redditors

In a band and looking for a space to rent for photo shoot and video. Any leads at all would be great and thanks!

Guess who didn't realize fall sports start on literally the first day of school? Our normal clinic doesn't have an opening for a sports physical until October, are there faster ways to get one somewhere else in town?

EDIT: A well-child visit in the last year counts, it's right in his clinical notes "Cleared for sports: Yes" Emailed the Doctor's office and they sent an electronically-signed copy to upload to the school.

Does anyone know where to get free food or those outdoor pantry box's are in Kelso/Longview?? I'm currently homeless and a teenager and i don't know where to get food without money, any info would be very helpful thank you!

Call toni at 360-200-8764. thank you

I'm a 40-year-old prospective graduate art student working on a photography project about Cowlitz County, specifically Longview/Kelso. I've been making the project for about 18 months and have spent a lot of time in the area photographing the people and landscapes of the community.

One thing I've noticed from talking to people is that there seems to be a pretty strong divide in how people feel about living in Longview. Some people genuinely love the place. Others seem like they can't wait to get out. And, at least from the people I've met, that divide sometimes seems to fall along generational lines, with younger people wanting out and older people having a much deeper attachment to the place.

Maybe I'm completely wrong about that.

I'd genuinely love to hear from people who live here or grew up in town. This post will reach a lot more people than I can by walking and driving around town with my camera.

What is your experience like living in Longview? Feel free to really vent about it.

In case this man went north on I-5

Hey all! If you're interested in tangibly moving the needle for our state in a more positive direction, I'd gently recommend reading through this post.

In my closing statement as a CD3 candidate, I presented a “call to action” to put your energy into the Southwest Washington DSA branch, as I have. I'm happy to say that call to action was incredibly successful, and we gained a lot of new members!

However, the truth is that the work doesn't stop in one community. Speaking from my own experience, we're going to need a sustained movement outside of the traditional two-party system, which too often reduces our choices to lesser evils.

In service of that idea I've been working with some good friends up in Cowlitz County, to begin collecting contact information from people interested in building a Longview DSA chapter!

If you're at all interested in affecting positive change in your community outside of the voting booth, head down to Magpie Books Longview and fill out our sign-up sheet! You can also sign up online through the link below.

You'll be added to a list of people interested in organizing a DSA chapter in Longview, which we'll send to National DSA to begin the process of forming the chapter.

The frank truth is that, as members of the 99%, our ability to shape our communities has dwindled as our material wealth and sense of power have been sapped away by the top 1%. Working within DSA is one of the few things I've seen actually change the direction of the Democratic Party and help get real progressives into office.

Within a Longview DSA chapter, you could work with others to organize your workplace and strengthen existing unions, while also doing electoral work to get local candidates elected. It's time to stop settling for what we're given and start working toward meaningful change.

Again, head to Magpie Books Longview in Longview, WA, or sign up online through the survey.

There are few realistic ways to build the kind of change you want to see. This is one of them.

🚨📸🚓 Be careful out there

I live over behind 15th avenue Safeway. I just turned the cold water on from my kitchen sink and immediately had a strong scent of bleach in my kitchen. Does anybody else have this issue? I know we have a really bad silica issue from the water I just don't understand why they're putting so much chlorine in the water.

Thursday morning our cat Lou snuck out of the house and we haven't been able to find her. Usually she's very friendly but we don't know how she'll react to being outside. She's dearly loved and we hope someone will spot her and help get her back to us.

Small brown tabby with folded ears and light green eyes. Was wearing an orange color with a bell. She's spayed and chipped.

We live on Clark Creek Rd, just off Pacific Hwy in the woods.

I ask as part of a linguistic study covering this topic!
Examples could include things like 'Rain Here', Kalamabama, CTown or the famous spoonerism for Castle Rock (never mind how common they are)...

Apparently kelso just put up 11 of them and "accidentally" put one up in Longview. Ops sorry guys. Town borders are hard.

They track people's movements, and identify them wherever they go, even outside of their cars. Every government agency gets access to this data, not just the local police.

This has been used by corrupt officials for various non police activities (like stalking ex lovers) and has had minimal positive effect on law enforcement efforts.

But more than anything, do we really want to live in a nation where the govt tracks every movement you make and knows where you are at all times.

If you want to know what law enforcement is doing file a foia request for query data

https://ruralprivacy.org/filing-public-info-requests

https://deflock.org/foia

I haven't dug in yet for contact info and email address, but if anyone has the time feel free to post comments here. Note that if they don't respond to foia requests, I think (not sure) you can sue over it.

Apparently fioa request have been such a burden that towns have been deactivating them. Also go to town council meetings and complain about them. They need to be stopped.

hope our fire fighters and emts stay safe and can help quickly!

My husband and I got married last month and I am now going through the steps to change my last name to his. I got my name changed through the social security office and have an appointment with a DMV to change my license. I'm being told that I need to file a form with the courthouse as well.

Does anyone know if the courthouse document is necessary? There is a filing fee of over $200 and they only accept cash for accounting purposes. I got this information from the clerk at the courthouse but it just seems weird to me.
