The domestic terrorists are generally born here.

So they’ll send the National Guard to BLM protests but domestic terrorism affecting critical infrastructure gets nothing so far?

5-6 k per 3 million? Geeze, I’d personally foot the bill for that shit. Infrastructure is the most important thing we all share.

Investigative reporter.

Pretty sure all the news outlets just share one these days 😂

You really going to spend 8 hours in the middle of nowhere freezing, with possibly not even a portapotty without pay? When you are a sitting duck for anyone in the brushline?

I agree.

I do not know who did this and if it is political or whatever then it is a terrible crime.

However, a lot of these in WA are very close to homeless camps and I can't help but think that there is a real possibility that this is nothing more than drug addicts doing shady things.

hahahhaaaaa! I'm from the Seattle area. For a short time, I lived in Arizona. One time during lunch break at the company's cafeteria, a guy, unknowingly, cracked opened a rotten egg. The smell was as horrible as you can imagine. I said "Smells like low tide" --no one got it.

You don't think that's a possibility?

We’ll all be in the dark if they keep doing this. I’m not suggesting we stand around like meal team 6 MAGATS, but a simple group of people sitting around drinking your favorite herbal tea at a substation would thwart this.

It’s definitely on some of our minds, and people are interested, just not interested to be anything but reactive to anything. We’ve got some large buildouts planned for the next 5-7 years, and nobody wants to put an extra 5-6k in a 3 million dollar project for access control and a few cameras.

Create chaos.

Great, now we will have amateurs with their taticool toys stumbling around in the dark. Go cosplay elsewhere please.

Top. We’ve been asked multiple times and provided multiple estimates and recommendations, even 3rd party security assessments and when it comes down to it, we’re always told there’s no money anywhere to be found.

Come on, man.

You're getting hit again? Former Roslyn resident here. Stay home stay safe.

Glad to hear it! I think we all have to do our best to help each other stay safe. Happy New Year!

Still the same situation everyone wants to go crabbing and only 10% can tough it out. It's just as much about being mentally strong as physically and emotionally strong. Sorry to hear about Jeff and the crew of the destination. Was such a beautiful boat same with the scandies rose. Sad sad day for the rest of the fleet. I've heard everyone speak very highly of Jeff including my father. Family always comes first I've had to turn down job offers that kids my age would kill for. But like you said family comes first. Just gotta keep praying for fair winds and full tanks.

This is happening in Florida too. The substation by my house was vandalized and cut off power for a few hours. Surprised these aren’t more heavily protected. It is literally out in the open middle of nowhere, “guarded” with an 8ft fence.

Amazing view... nice little town

We were all a bunch of swinging Dicks in our early 20's I grew up on a cattle ranch and had been around equipment and hazardous work for years, safety first. The other guys were city guys with not much experience at anything and had no sense of safety. EVERYBODY wanted a job on a crab boat and I got mine so in that respect I guess I was lucky and lucky to survive working on deck with these guys. My friends from my home town who I went to high school with came over to my boat and said I could work on their family boat any time and that maybe I wasn't in the best situation with these guys. In the end they were correct but I had chosen to stay home with my family and ill mother on the ranch at the time of the sinking. Family first always. I have lost friends to the Bearing Sea. Captain Jeff Hathaway of the Destination was a close friend. His wife and I worked together. Everybody is all Yeeha when money is being made and risks are taken but when shit goes bad as it did in his case it is a tragedy. Stay safe.

It’s similar in MA, where it’s actually card only and they round up to the nearest 5 and then give you whatever change back in cash. I was stunned when I moved to WA

I like this answer because I looked at the historical tide data and i was passing it 2 or 3 hours away from low tide time. https://www.usharbors.com/harbor/washington/arcadia-totten-inlet-wa/tides/
