#DearMillipede - while native millipedes are the best, can we still call non-natives cute? These guys seem well-adjusted to the farm life 👩🏻‍🌾

Hey @SeattlePD , do you think bike theft is so pervasive in Seattle because there’s no concerted effort to stop it, or to recover stolen property?

[Kirsten Pearsons @bikebugz]

@stolenbikessea Keeping a close eye on offerup and craigslist. *crossing fingers*
