SFR Malicious Compliance: City laws say boats must be stored behind a fence...

Sorta fishing-related
I honestly don't know if this is true for flyfishers. Instagram is flooded with younger folks flyfishing. Lots of women as well.
That said, IG is no more a definitive data point than PNWFF is. Be interesting if someone had some real stats about it.
Fishing and hunting license sales have continued their decades-long decline (fishing had an upward blip during covid...as did RV sales with scads of them now for sale and dealer lots jam packed).
Difficult to parse out flyfishing from the mix...but I do know that the membership of Spokane's two FF clubs looks like God's waiting room.
Opening day of fishing and hunting seasons were huge events...newspaper TV coverage and sportsmans' breakfasts were held all over. All gone. A premier FF only NE WA lake was once filled with FF folk....and I've fished that lake for well over 60 years.

Well, there is the noise ordinance. If it isn't the city, the county has one. Trust me, I have had a Harley wake me up at 4:30am about 40 feet from my bedroom window and that was open slightly. I snuck a potato up his tailpipe later.
Whatever happened with your neighbor issues?!

Then there’s the city ordinances about cutting down trees on “your property” that needs to be addressed as well.Lol
I have dealt with this dozens of times over the years in business.
The neighbor has to be made aware of the danger, or the danger needs to be pointed out to them with professional assessment to be found liable in some cases.
If after a friendly casual conversation re: the tree goes nowhere...
What we did, was first write a letter pointing out the issue, and suggesting an arborist assess the tree. If no response, a second letter after offering to have an arborist assess, and write a report.
If no response, suggest having the arborist assess at expense of you, not them.
If no response, have arborist assess (if possible) from your property, not always possible, but in some cases of disease/decline this can be done.
If it can be done from your property, send arborist report to offending tree owner.
They are now informed of a hazard, and should the tree fall and damage your fence, house garden etc., you will have a good case to recover damages.
They can also solicit a different arborist, who may agree or not with your arborist report.
Arborist wars...
Seen this, it is an actual thing.
Generally, the hazardous tree owner needs to be made aware with a professional assessment that his tree poses a hazard to neighboring properties or structures, and once notified and no action taken (negligence), will be found liable for damages in most cases.
ISA Certified Arborist is who to use, not a tree guy, certified mail is how to send, not regular.

Everybody knows if you cut down a rotting oak in a Seattle yard the earth moves beyond the tipping point. We need these rules for your safety. Thing is the city has no trouble nuking a whole bunch of trees for a bike lane.
Cyclist are an odd bunch.
They seem to piss in their cheerios and actually enjoy it.

Spandex should be illegal for men and a privilege not a right foot everyone else
"his"? or the motorcycle?
I suspect most have heard the term MAMIL...Middle Aged Men in Lycra. Lots of photos on the web.
Hilarious (yet somewhat sad) to watch some potbellied attorney, riding a19 lb $15K road bike, somehow thinking that stuffing his body into a King of the Mountain lycra getup will offset years of sedentary toil.
But then again, a good day of flyfishing for small doofus hatchery trout with one of my trusty Sage flyrods makes me believe I could have been another Lefty Kreh.

Lycra suits do not hide packages.... Oops, did I say that?
For some of us that’s mostly why we wear it…. Oops, did I say that?
In software they say "that's a feature, not a bug."

If I were to wear lycra, which I don't. I would comically stuff the front. Like really rockstar style and lean back letting my hips and faux bulge and zucchini lead the way wherever I went. Not overboard. But noticeable. I would also adopt a Liverpool accent. Why? I'm not sure but it feels right to complete the character.
It may be because This is Spinal Tap is a part of our collective cultural DNA…by God.

Totally my inspiration. The line about "armadillos in our pants" is pure brilliance.
And of course, "this one goes to eleven...."
Even better I think it might be Armadillos In Our Trousers. Which really ought to be its own band. Probably a prog metal band.
