MICHAEL SWAN: WHAT’S HAPPENING >>>

I swear every day there’s 30 or so shopping carts abandoned at Pierce Transit bus stops, sidewalks and bushes in Lakewood.

There’s four stranded in front of Lowe’s.

There’s a couple on the corner of 100th and Bridgeport Way S.W.

Every. Day.

The assistant to the assistant manager at Lowe's in Lakewood says they don't have a regular program to pick up their carts on the streets.

Of course my favorite shopping cart is at the Mad Hat Tea Company.
