⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ 🐙 The Pink Door 📍 1919 Post Alley, Seattle, WA This was my experience as a Canadian in Seattle 🐝 This restaurant is very popular and was highly recommended by locals and tourists alike. From the outside, it’s literally just a door in an alley way, but on the inside is a stunning, elaborate establishment on multiple levels with a heavy Italian influence. I was happily able to put some of my new Duolingo skills to the test with the menu 😂 I opted for an Almond Creamy Italian Soda ($5USD/$7CAD), North West Fish of the Day ($39USD/$54CAD), and the Zeppole ($15USD/$21CAD). The NW fish of the day was a local caught Salmon on a bed of beets, cream of leek sauce and topped with a small salad that included pistachios and arugula. I am baffled that the best pistachios I’ve ever tasted were from this restaurant. Completely unexpected! The rest of my main course was just as delicious, the salmon moist and light while the beets were soft and sweet. Each bite was a mouthful of fresh ingredients that individually stood out. The drink I had was wonderful, creamy and had a perfect almond balance. And I couldn’t say no to a fried to order dessert with NW huckleberry sauce. These are fluffy, soft and warm, though very filling. I had trouble as a solo diner finishing these and ended up taking some back to my Hostel with me. It was very busy, though my server was very attentive. With the elevated price tag and elevated decor, I was happy to find that the service was also on par. I absolutely recommend this restaurant based on the lovely food and service. If you’re planning to go here, snag a reservation as it’s a hot spot! I watched a lot of diners turn away from the long wait time. It’s a very large restaurant, but the place was packed!!

Hi, I'm currently planning a short trip to the Seattle metro area because I've never been to the Pacific Northwest and always wanted to go, and also because I'm looking for a good urban area to move to in the future, and want to see what it's like here! I only have a rough timeframe right now (likely between 5 days to a week and a half at most), but since I'm traveling solo i want to have an itinerary for things to do when I get there. Right now the only thing I have down is that I want to visit the offices of Valve Software (in Bellevue) on a tour, if I'm able, apparently they do offer then if you email and set it up in advance, which I'm waiting on a response from. However, I also need other ideas, so any advice from people who know the area well would be much appreciated! I like the nature of the PNW a lot, so I also want to do a hike or maybe a mountain biking trail, either would be fun. I've also heard that there are good craft breweries in the area, which I could also try! I also would love to know of anything else that matches things I'm interested in (art, film, music) or just anything thats good for anyone to go to! (Also any good nightclub recommendations that are queer-friendly) Thanks!

Hi all, I have friends coming into town and we want to do a group dinner on Saturday. I’ve been to Lupo multiple times and find their pizza to be divine, but wanted to hear if there are any other recommendations. We are looking for good food with non red meat options and non seafood, chill vibes, decent drinks, and doesn’t have to be fancy. I was reading really good things about Esters and was curious if anyone had been? Or had any other suggestions? Also peaked at communion a little bit, if people have intel on that. Thanks in advance!

Hey! I’m visiting from out of state and want to find a good thrift store or three! Can someone recommend any? Looking for true thrift store vibes, not goodwill preferably. Thank you!!

Hello! I’m thinking about signing up for one of the group courses at Seattle Jazz Academy, mainly for piano/jazz, and was curious if anyone here has done one before. What was it like? And did you feel like you actually improved a lot from taking the course? I’m especially curious about people who already had a little piano experience but wanted to get better at theory, jazz, improvisation, playing by ear, composing etc. Did you feel like you came out of the course noticeably better than when you started? Also curious what the group environment was like and whether you felt like it was worth the money. Would love to hear from anyone who’s taken a Seattle Jazz Academy group class, even if your experience was mixed!

Okay so, I applied for a job here they had their business name set to “Confidential” when i applied so I stupidly was like… well that could be legit. But now they’ve messaged me for an interview a day later- and I am skeptical. They said their business was in Kirkland, but upon googling their company name I am… unsure. There is no Kirkland location. And looking at their website its a bunch of stock images. They have an instagram with 2 followers and it goes back until new years 2026 and that is it. I hate that we live in a world where job scams exist but if anyone else has been scammed/ or legit works there that would be helpful to know!

Hi! I'm a nonbinary lesbian who likes to social dance. I haven't gone dancing or taken a class since I moved to Seattle, though. I want to get back into it, but I don't want to be the only queer person in the room. I also want to lead more than I want to follow. I'm a pretty good dancer generally, and I have some experience with salsa, bachata, and swing. I'd happily try any style, though. Can anyone recommend classes or spaces/events I could look into going to?

Have you guys been to Metro store off-late. Vibe has been off lately. Scammers scammers.
