Hi friends of the community, I’m hoping someone might be able to help. Last night I was at the Martha lake water launch area to paddle board. It was between about 5:30-7:30ish pm. Unfortunately, someone hit my car (red Mazda cx-30), and of course they didn’t leave a note. My passenger side door is now all scratched up, but I’m uncertain if it’s dented. If you maybe saw who this was, or can provide me any information, I would thoroughly appreciate it. Along with that, if anyone has any body shop recommendations, I’d also appreciate that. Gotta weigh self pay vs insurance. And to the inconsiderate person who hit and ran on my car - I hope your pillow is always hot, your sodas always flat, and your food deliveries always late and missing one item.

https://budgetandpolicy.org/schmudget/debunking-the-false-claims-behind-millionaire-tax-flight/ Last time I posted on this sub about the Millionaire's Tax, one of the most common arguments I saw was about wealth flight. Basically, the idea that if we don't repeal the MT, rick folks will be lining up their U-Hauls on a mass exodus elsewhere. Since then, I found this write-up that I think makes a lot of good points about why that isn't really rooted in reality. So for those of you that were engaging meaningfully with your concerns, here's why the "wealth flight" fears are overblown and why WA should vote no on 645 in Nov. Here's the key points of the article, shortened (by me) for this sub, but the full article goes into more depth. – 1. Research shows that wealthy households choose where they live for the same reasons that many of us do: to be closer to family, to access good schools, and to seek or maintain jobs. This is well-documented by researcher Dr. Cristobal Young, whose research outlines how millionaires, like everyday people, are embedded within their communities. While there are anecdotes of some households who make the decision to move solely based on tax-avoidance strategies, it is simply not something that happens on a large scale. 2. Evidence from Washington’s capital gains tax and Millionaires Taxes in other states show that the wealthy tend to stay. When the capital gains tax passed, the same misinformation – that the new tax would make rich people leave – was a central argument. However, the tax has consistently outpaced projections, showing that the extremely wealthy few that can afford to pay this tax are not only doing well, they are also staying in Washington. So far in 2026, the capital gains tax has already brought in more than $1.5 billion (this does not include those who received a filing extension), which is nearly three times more than last year. 3. Households who will pay the Millionaires Tax are the same households who will get a windfall of over $90,000 annually (thanks to Trump and Congressional Republicans). While everyday people across the state grapple with tough decisions about how to make their housing payments or just keep their health insurance, the richest 1% – the same population who will pay the Millionaires Tax – will receive $90,850 annually from federal tax preferences (or the equivalent to or more than many households’ annual income). Notably, a household would need to make almost $2 million to pay $90,000 in the Millionaires Tax, which would be completely offset by the tax cuts that Congressional lawmakers gave them through H.R.1. 4. The tax rate for the richest 1% in Washington will still be under the national average after the Millionaires tax goes into effect. It’s important to understand that this tax is a marginal tax – meaning that it’s on just a portion of a household’s total income. So the share of total taxes paid by the top 1% (compared to household income) will be roughly 6.6%, which is still lower than most other states. Even after the Millionaires Tax goes into effect, other states (Oregon, Wyoming, and California) will have a higher effective tax rate for people making $1 million or more a year. 5. People – including wealthy people – want to live in places that have well-resourced schools, affordable childcare, and good jobs, which is why the economic benefits projected from the Millionaires Tax are a win for us all. The investments from the Millionaires Tax are projected to add jobs to Washington’s economy, provide historic support for small businesses, and increase personal income. New analysis from the REMI Tax-PI model unpacks the economic boost that will come from Millionaires Tax investments, showing that the new tax will result in increased gross domestic product (GDP) and personal income.

Employees, please betray your employer and give us the scoop. What is the dough hydration? Oven temp? Why is the dough so crispy, thin, but a bit airy? I can make similar sauce and cheese on my Ooni, but I'm a bit ticked off how I can't make a similar crust.

I recently moved to Eastside. I am looking for parents/mom group for play dates, meetups or just in general people with young kids interested in hanging out. Are there any groups, meetups or social signup pages I could join?

I need to meditate! Is anyone privy to some heavy edm/bass music being slung around this Friday night? I’m trying to dance out all this pent up energy. Thanks! Someth’n like this~ https://on.soundcloud.com/BJK4BCToupqoALCLf3

More than 100 doctors are saying "IL26-001 could force schools to notify parents of the school’s efforts to arrange medical care that a young person can legally access without parental consent under Washington state, possibly undermining youth access to critical health services. Under IL26-638, all girls who want to play on a team at the K-12 level will need a medical certification of her sex defined as a physical “reproductive organ exam,” or costly genetic or hormone testing." Who is even for these things at this point?

Hello fellow Puyallup dwellers! I’ve received an RX from my PCP for massage therapy. I’m having a difficult time finding a provider who is currently accepting my insurance (Regence). Does anyone have a recommendation, or know someone who is accepting it at this time? My back would sure appreciate the help. TIA!!
