For quite a long time now, the WSB has been a tremendous asset to the community, even beyond your neighborhood. Congrats on TSPN. I’m confident the service you provide will grow and serve us all well. Best wishes.
Any chance of getting a lost and found or small classified section for S. Park residents?
I have started my own electric vehicle training program here in Seattle
- Electro Motive Innovation and Training. This is an effort with three “divisions”
1. Existing industrial – I will be starting a training program with the Monorail maintenance folk on July 10. The Monorail is 50 years old and running on all that non solid state archaic DC controls – just like those I learned on in the Navy. Am also in I hope what are final negotiations with Pacifica – they have the contract to assemble the First Hill Streetcars for Seattle.
2. Future electric vehicle service and repair technicians. Electric Vehicle implies “cars” too much so I use term Electro Motive. This applies to small equipment ie mobility scooters to very large ie heavy truck railroad or marine.
3. In association with Seattle Parks Dept training similar to #2 for high school kids. Minimum age is 14. They are giving me free space for my efforts so in trade I train their kids.
I am starting classes at the South Park Community Center as listed below
June 20 6pm Basic Physics and Mechanics
Jun 27 5 pm Basic Electricity
July 5 Basics of AC and DC.
Can you list these on the calendar. How do we go about it?
Thanks
Dan Bentler
