For many years I have lived in West Seattle. I love the neighborhood and the friendly neighbors.

On Tuesday evening I was driving near the steel mill. A car approached me and honked to get my attention. He said that my right rear tire was nearly flat. I thanked him and started out to find a mechanic. The gas station, which I found, had no mechanic, but a helpful employee put in air so I could drive to find a mechanic on duty.

I discovered Hegge Chevron where I found Wil, the mechanic on duty who discovered a broken screw in my tire. He removed the screw and inserted a tire plug, which fixed it, for which I am truly grateful. It is so nice to be able to share this with your readers, and it is so nice that everything turned out positively.
