And you would be surprised…I know someone who believed it, went out and got 1500.00 in Walmart cards. You scratch off the code, take a picture and they have that money immediately. People do fall for these scams

Report it to tne attorney general is WA state. They do follow phishing and scamming

Thank you for your replies, I just wasn't sure as I've never seen something like this before.

Pathetic scam. I've gotten this like 10 times in the past 5 years. And nothing has happened

Not legal advice AT ALL... but I did just get a ticket for using my phone while driving and the officer asked why I didn't have a dash or window mount.

This is a scam, do nothing

You can mount stuff to the windshield (which is illegal in some states), but that’s just a very crappy design, placing the phone in your field of vision.

Place the phone way lower down so it’ll not be more of a distraction than what it already is. Tons of good clip mounts, magnetic mounts, etc.

I think it’s legal. many people have dash cans there. my phone attaches to my windshield and I’ve been pulled over for tabs and it’s sitting there and they never mentioned it

The eating felines thing is somehow lowest on my list of reasons I would not want to live with OP.

Not sure, but I think the kind that mounts into the air vents is more functional and would be less of a concern as far as legality since it doesn’t block the window at all.

Get a lawyer, you have got to be kidding me. Lmfao

A lawyer will tell you how to go about this. It’s their job!

This is the information from the Washington State Bar Association

We are yet to contact a lawyer. Frankly, we're still kinda clueless on how to go about this. We still want to give the company a few weeks to make things right but we also wanna be ready just in case.

What did your lawyer say when you called them?

I would only be using it for GPS, so I don't have to keep looking down at my phone resting on the passenger's seat. I know, those distracted driving laws are definitely vague.

But people around here do use these phone holders mounted to the rearview, don't they?

When it comes to legal advice: Consult a lawyer, not randos on Reddit.

I don't believe we have any specific laws against it, but our distracted driving law is really vague. Also it's illegal to do more than minimal use of the phone while driving even if it's mounted.

When we first moved to our neighborhood, we had one neighbor who came by to meet us and give us a tin of homemade herbal tea. Several others we met organically over time, like when one of us was doing yardwork and the other was walking by with a dog. Maybe it's been the wrong season for the kinds of outdoor work that lend themselves to a casual hello, or maybe your lots are too large to easily say hi from one driveway to another. Regardless, I don't think there's anything odd (even here in the NW) about knocking on a neighbor's door just to say hi and introduce yourself, especially if it's the house next door or across the street.

But actually most of our neighbors we met during National Night Out, which is the first Tuesday in August. Our block, like many in Seattle, closes down to car traffic and does a potluck BBQ in the middle of the street. Your private street may have someone who takes the lead on planning something similar, and National Night Out is a pretty good excuse. (It started in the 1970s as an offshoot to Neighborhood Watch, on the theory that neighbors should recognize each other so they can recognize when suspicious strangers are present.) Maybe start by knocking on the door of your next door neighbors, and as part of that 5-minute conversation ask whether there is any kind of community gathering during the summer and, if so, who has planned it in the past. If you want to bring some of that Southern hospitality to your block, volunteering to help plan a community event is a pretty great long-term option.

Ira Spring. I actually got to meet him, I managed a grocery store in Edmonds and he used to come in and we would talk about hiking and climbing.

Thanks! I’m hoping for some nice rocky views and some trees, so I’ll take a look. I appreciate the suggestions.

Second beach is only about a mile from each way I believe. It’s got a pretty steep hill tho on the backside when heading down to the beach, so if you’re bringing anything in for your elopement, keep that in mind. Shi Shi is a 3 mile hike through the woods one way, so I don’t recommend that one. You might also consider first beach as well. You can park in the lot and just walk right to the beach. Same thing with Kalaloch beach

Born and raised in Tacoma. I live on a private street for close to a decade. Whenever I see a new neighbor moving in, I always make it a point to introduce myself and welcome them to the neighborhood. No one enjoys being the new person and not knowing anyone. I like make myself be the person that makes that person feel like they are welcome in their new house. It’s a good neighborhood and neighbors came over to introduce themselves when I moved in. It instantly made me happy we had purchased in our neighborhood and it made me feel a connection right away, as well. Before phones became so prevalent, humans wouldn’t second guess going over to meet a new neighbor.

hahah thanks!
