The other issue Trash has not been picked up for 2-3 weeks in some places because the trucks cannot get to certain areas.
If people are paying property taxes, etc., then they are owed some level of living in human decency. Last I looked, Washington State is a part of the UNITED STATES! And sometimes, King county seems to forget this with their elitist aristocracy. Believe me if the road weren't groomed in Mercer Island, you would have all kinds of laws changed.
The other issue is here: Jesse Jones of King 5 news... He tells it like it is... If you want your street plowed, (206) 386-1218... They are saying no one requested plowing!!! King was not plowing some people's streets because they did not call and request it... Now that is some BS.

Is there not a snow route for plowing? Maybe that's something I'm taking for granted because there is a plan for when it is going to snow, and you know which roads will be cleared. Since I'm renting my landlord pays to have snow from our house removed, but we have sidewalk laws which the city isn't enforcing.
What isn't helping is the 45 mph and higher winds while it is snowing. The water on the ground is freezing and snow is piling on top of it, and it is pretty dangerous out there. I'm fortunate enough I can walk to work, but with parking I'm damned if I want to park in my garage, and damned if I park on the street. I could have a coworker pick me up a couple blocks away and walk down, but it is so stupid I live half a block from a main road and people use my street to avoid the highway that they can't plow it.
