My CarPlay almost always disconnects during this stretch going into downtown, or at the very least my music sounds like it’s a scratched CD. Anyone else experience this phenomenon?

At 12:35PM today (Thursday, August 27) I was driving southbound on SW 44th Ave between Genesee and Oregon behind this Subaru when I watched it scrape the shit out of the front driver-side bumper of this Lexus. No idea if the Subaru driver left a note or had any idea what they did. It looked like an elderly female white driver who wasn't paying attention. If you're either of the parties involved, please reach out to me via DM and I'd be happy to share this photo as evidence if needed for an insurance claim. Be prepared to share your license plate number so I can confirm you're one of the two cars involved. Thanks!

Ahh September, the time of year where every weekend you will hear someone saying “looks like this’ll be the last good one” or “we sure could use this moisture”.

Hi! We are moving soon to west Seattle with 2 toddlers, and are desperately wanting to create a community. Is there anyone here who knows of good groups that help promote family meet ups / activities to do with toddlers and the full family? Bonus points if it’s outdoors focused. I also would be interested in learning about social / activity based meet ups for men and women (we are in our 30s) - together or separately. Would love to hear any and all recommendations!!

Divorcing and moving to Washington in late September. My vote probably doesn't matter in the county I'm moving to but I want to vote if I can do so legally. How do I change my voting address and is late September to close to the elections for me to be considered a resident? If I'm still split between the two states can I? I won't have a permanent address in Washington until early October. Moving from Oregon. Retired military veteran. If it matters my temporary place is in Washington.

Hey everybody. Hope you are all enjoying the last of the sunlight for a few weeks. Was wondering if anyone has ever rented a Duffy boat for a concert at gasworks and how it went? I know you cannot technically anchor, but was thinking we would be able to just float in the crowd and not be an issue. Is that an unrealistic expectation? Will we need to be coasting around the whole time? Also, how packed does it get? Will there be a possibility of us being trapped by the crowd? Any insight is greatly appreciated. Have a great day! P.S. Not looking for recommendations, but advice.

Many of you have seen the horrific video of the glacier caused flooding in Nepal by now. If you haven't, I recommend BBC networks. The cause may be a partial glacier collapse, triggering a wall of water and mud through Nepal and Tibet. My question to hydrogeologists and the like: Could something similar happen in the glaciers in Washington State and if so where and what are the implications for the sounding communities? Not trying to alarm anyone. I think this is a reasonable question.

MINI MAKER'S SPACE -- FREE TO THE PUBLIC Hello, I'm the host of the Eastside Sketch Society (ESS), a drawing group that gathers for the twice-monthly Issaquah Drink n' Draw and Blakely Hall's Go Figure! themed figure drawing events (Sep 13). We're gathering for a third time this month to kick off the final weekend of Al Fresco on Front Street. Join ESS for a pop-up MINI MAKER'S SPACE , similar to one of our events. We're putting together a cozy "outdoor living room" for the public to gather, create, and mingle at our CREATION STATION , peruse or donate lightly used art supplies at our DONATION STATION , view one of the live ART DEMONSTRATIONS taking place throughout the day, and contribute to a growing PUBLIC ART GALLERY that will evolve with each visitor's contribution. Enjoy provided supplies or bring your own; no creativity required! If you love what we've put together, you'll be able to vote for us beginning Saturday for best Pop-up Park through the Downtown Issaquah Association's website. So if you'd like to join this uniquely third-space-themed festivity, consider stopping by our tent from 11 a.m. to 9 pm this Saturday only!

Attached above is a link to a map I created. It would be very useful to add back some service along the eastern portion of Admiral Way, and provide better service for the area in general. Right now, the only good service: Routes 56 and 57 are one way commute hours. This shuttle bus wouldn't even need to go all the way Downtown. If it just connected Alki and Admiral straight to SODO Station (without that long winding path down to the Alaska Junction and through Delridge), in some ways that would be even better than to Downtown. Riders would have more direct travel options that just Downtown. Let me know what your thoughts are on this. Regardless, we need to expand bus service and bring back much of what has been stolen. Without any good alternatives, reductions on Routes 56 and 57 are abominable. Route 50 and C Line are NOT good alternatives. I just don't understand why Metro did that. It just worsened the bus service quality in the north end of West Seattle.

And IIIIIIIII will always love painting you an artistically questionable drawing of what’s happening across the state. Before you ask, yes, there’s a lot of big hair on this weekend’s map and you know what they say… “the bigger the hair, the bigger the highway impacts.” So let’s comb through what you actually need to know. -Northbound I-405 will CLOSE in Kirkland between NE 70th Pl. and NE 85th St. from 11 p.m. Friday, August 28 to 4 a.m. Monday, August 31. Crews will use this closure to dig out a section of the freeway to install a concrete culvert to reconnect the fish passage beneath northbound and southbound I-405. Expect backups in the area and heavier traffic on nearby highways and local streets. Give yourself extra time and follow signed detours. -Seattle is looking pretty in pink this weekend, but all that pink also means it’s going to be pretty packed. There are multiple events happening around the city, including sports games, concerts and a sold-out Skrillex show. Add ongoing Revive I-5 work into the mix, and getting around Seattle could take longer than usual. Northbound I-5 remains reduced to two lanes across the Ship Canal Bridge, with the express lanes running northbound 24/7. Expect extra traffic in and around Seattle, leave early and take transit if you can. -Heading north or toward Deception Pass this weekend? The Deception Pass Classic is Sat. and Sun., so expect cyclists on roads around Skagit and Whidbey counties. SR 20 near Campbell Lake Road also remains reduced to one lane of alternating traffic through Sept. 4 while crews prepare for a new roundabout. The work is on a key route between Anacortes and Whidbey Island, so keep that in mind if you’re headed to the ferry or across Deception Pass. Farther north, the Bellingham Traverse is happening Saturday, with participants on the shoulder of SR 11 and near I-5. Keep an eye out for cyclists and other participants along the way. If there’s one thing we’re begging of you this weekend, it’s this: please check the real-time travel map before you go. Give yourself extra time, make a plan, be kind to each other out there on the roads and leave a little metaphorical sparkle along the way.
