The Williams
My neighbor said (5:00), she was not allowed to climb up 121st ( which turns into 123rd) – the street off of southeast 8th just adjacent from the fire station. She said the police told her there was a burglary on that road and they had canines out and told her she’d have to try to come up the hill later in 20 min. or so. They told her they also had the other end of Woodridge blocked off. I saw 4 police cars on 12th and 123rd which is by the pool, near the trail. At 5:30 I went to all the entrances and they had all been opened up by then. That is all I know.

Just spoke to a friend in Samammish who is without power. We could lose ours. Please take time to check on your neighbors and see if they are in need. I am especially thinking of our older friends on the hill and those who are living alone. Maybe there are some people able to drive and could get to the shops for others who are in need. Please make yourself known. Thank you!

Practice safe responses and teach your kids; When and If someone asks “When is a good time to call?” Never state any times, just say it varies or I’ll call you, What is your number?”

I know Walmart is putting in a neighborhood store in the old K-mart @ kelsey creek. Is the Factoria store a done deal?

$5,000 grants applications from City of Bellevue for neighborhood upgrades are now being accepted on a first come, first serve basis. If you have an idea for a Woodridge community space upgrade, please share so that others can be involved in supporting your efforts.

The fact that the guy would state the he was doing work in the area, yet not give a name of the person or company he was working for should raise a red flag. The owner is John Arthur. He does have a license, min. insurance, and is bonded……………..FOR 1-2 years. He is out of Tacoma. His UBI number (#602035677) shows “no accounts”. This means he is not licensed nor registered to have employees. This means he only can do the work. If he has employees on your site and they get hurt, YOU are responsible. When you check his Tax ID number, he shows “no revenue” and it shows under a completely different name. Why would a construction company be nonprofit???????? He does not pay taxes on his business sales? Why not list Puget Sound under the tax registration? The tax registration shows since 2000 yet the license shows active since 1-2 years. This shows it is possilbe he has changed names for some reason. You can change the name of your company for any reason and change your license also. Here is the site to check out contractors: https://fortress.wa.gov/lni/bbip/Search.aspx
Go there and either type in (carefut: case sensitive) the name of the company or the license number or the UBI number. Look up his information and then do the same to compare it to Williams Construction. Williams Construction shows Earl Williams and it shows he is insured for one million and it shows his UBI number is active. That means he is licensed and registered to have employees working for him. It also shows he has been in business since 1993 here in the US and in Hawaii since 1980. He has more than 20 years experience. His tax reg. shows active. He pays his taxes. Williams Construction is a legit and honest company. If you have any more questions, you may call 206-715-2205.

It does not matter what it says on a card. You can have cards printed up that say you are the president of so and so and it is only print.

They came to my house as well, but I didn’t ask any questions. If you are looking for a good contractor I can personally recommend Williams Construction. They live on Woodridge and Earl does great work.
