White Center Now: The blog about White Center

This is such ashame. This was the only place you could feel safe while having a beer. To me this sounds like a law suit. I myself, know a couple lawers who are well versed in property mangement law. I plan to talk to them about evictions and a time line to do so. Also want to know if other bussnises in the building will be leaving. Also will be checking with the king co. building dept. about any building code violations. I feel bad for joe he has worked so hard to help white center and certain people keep trying to bring him down. They’re are some bartenders at close by locations that seam to spread nothing but false rumors and hate.

that’s pretty asinine of the landlord. hang around is a good bar and has a lot of potential

Aren’t there laws that require more notice than a week? What is really going on here? Has the landlord sold the property? This sure seems like a stupid move from the landlord. It pisses me off. Please do update us and let us know what, if anything, we can do to help. Joe deserves better than this BS.

I see you removed my first to coments. But heres one more. Rumor has it that paul the former owner of the wall has been telling the building owner sophie a bunch of BS about joe. I hope you can contact the owner about this.White Center needs aplace like the hang around.

I am not sure about businesses. But I think the law is that eviction notices for homes and apartments have to give the people one rental month notice to move. That is one whole rental month not 30 days or what ever. If they are notified one day into the month they have the rest of that month and then a whole rental month. Hope some one can check this out. Also we need to give the owner and her lawyer hell. This is not good for the community at all. Maybe some one has some ideas but we have to try and stop this Bull Shit. Bob Price

Joe –

Hope you have contacted an attorney by now. You need to know, precisely, the terms of your lease.

Wow, good question earlier. Did the other businesses there that she owns recieve evictions notices too?

This is a tragedy for WC, Joe and his wife really did WC justice there on the corner of 98th and 16th. They cleaned off the street and rid it from the gangbangers, drug dealers, pan handlers, and so much more that her previous tentant catered too.

Why would anyone want to evict good tenants who contribute to cleaning up the community making it a safer place.

Court Friday 3pm at Seattle Court house, 3rd floor west side.
Would like support from everyone as said by our atty. this is my last shot. Love you all

Never mind, I see another comment which was still in our approval queue at the time I asked that.

I’m wondering, if her Lawyer called Joe and Glennis scumbags, where he got that idea.
The Wall was a rat hole for years and cost the county tons of money to police it. Now with a business there that clears out the druggies, gangsters, etc and is wholesome to the general public, they are up in arms. Maybe we need to check out her lawyer and her to see if they were not part of the problem before Joe and Glennis moved in. Anyway, if the landlord doesn’t change her mind and let them stay, I think we will need to closely monitor any business that is put in the place and see that if they are questionable that any lawlessness is rewarded with a request to close them up. With the new set up with Burien contracting the King County Sheriff deputies, we will have enough problems without a bad business there. The White Center Chamber needs to look into this action and question it. Lets hope the landlord slows down and questions her actions before she causes another real problem in White Center. Joe and Glennis have been great in being involved with the community and they should be able to stay longer and prove their worth to these people. Joe you do have a strong personally and come on strong, but that is just you and basically you are a well informed person and a great addition to the neighborhood. Thanks.

UPDATE!! when we went to court, Sophia was there with her lawyer, she was upsetting the Commisioner everytime she spoke when she should not have. Anyhow, the attorney (hers) was persistant to tell the commisioner that we were no good people and we WILL be kicked out. The Commisioner still with a question mark on his head proceeded with the case. my WONDERFUL Professional attorney (jerry) calmly (was so cool) just said the facts without showing any mind for what they had said. anyhow, the commisioner made Glennis and i pay HER atoorney fees of $1000.00 (crazy) then i handed Jerry the March rent check in which he handed to her attorney and i was told by her attorney that even if i pay April by the 28th of april a 3 day notice will be applied. ANYHOW, outside the court room, Jerry was writing up the order and Sophia and her attorney was saying to each othr LOUDLY that Glennis was a Dirty person,”She looks so dirty, we dont want that kind there” and i was getting angry. Jerry looked at me telling me “i got it….calm down” kinda look. Sophia and her attorney kept saying to each other derogatory remarks and we felt violated AGAIN by them Jerry witnessed everything. (dumb move my Attorney and Sophia).
MY OPINION: We are getting tired of these false accusations by Sophia, Her landlord, PAUL NELSON. Lily (whom we fired) and my so called Niece Linsey (whom we fired) who are circulating there roumers and its getting back to sophia and this is how this ALL STARTED! I dont know how to fix this one, people. This is why we are so happy for everyone’s assistance. We love you all and want to say thank you and i hope we could finally take care of this.

Sounds like discrimination to me- profiling, racism and lies!

Oh Shut up!
