So we have slammed traffic to a standstill for the small number of #8 bus riders?

Hey guys, I am considering moving to West Seattle. I am close to buying my first home, but it is directly on Fauntleroy. I’m not expecting complete quietness, but would it impact my ability to sleep?

For those who have remodeled a kitchen in Bellevue, what was the hardest part of working with your contractor? I’ve worked in flooring and remodeling around Bellevue and the Eastside for more than 15 years, and I’m curious whether homeowners see the same problems from their side that we see when taking over or correcting troubled projects. The complaints are not always about poor workmanship. More often, they begin with expectations that were never made clear. A homeowner thinks the estimate includes flooring removal, disposal, appliance installation and baseboard work. The contractor priced only what was specifically written down. Someone assumed the cabinets would arrive before demolition. Someone else selected a range after the cabinet drawings were approved and discovered that the clearances no longer worked. Communication is another big one. “We’ll be there next week” can mean very different things to a homeowner and a contractor. A homeowner reasonably hears that work will start Monday. The contractor may only mean that the project is somewhere on next week’s schedule. Permitting and inspection responsibilities can also become confusing. Replacing cabinets and countertops alone generally doesn’t require a building permit, but electrical, plumbing or structural changes may introduce separate requirements. That should be discussed before work begins, not after the kitchen has been opened up :) For anyone here who has completed kitchen remodeling in Bellevue or elsewhere on the Eastside: What caused the most frustration? Was it communication, scheduling, change orders, workmanship, permits, material delays or something else? And looking back, what do you wish the contractor had explained before you signed? Your honest feedback would help us better understand the homeowner’s side and improve how we communicate, plan, and manage our own projects.

I'm in the final stages of hiring movers. Only I don't know how much is too much. I'm only moving less than a mile away, and I'm packing my own boxes. How much did you spend on your move that was within the city?

Hello! My fiancé and I will be flying in to Seattle on Friday night. Our flight was pushed back a couple hours so now we won’t arrive at Sea-Tac until after dark. We had been planning to take the light rail into Pioneer Square as our hotel is a quick walk from there. Is this a bad idea or should we plan to take the hit and get an Uber from the airport? (We’re from San Diego and generally don’t have issues walking downtown there, if that gives any context to our comfortability in a metro area. Fiancé has been to Seattle before but previously rented a car.) Thank you!

Anyone wanna sell me a cigarette I'm near the Hyatt regency hotel..

Can anyone advise the best way to get from the airport to Hotel Sorrento around 15.00 in the afternoon on a sunday many thanks

So! I saw this show on a whim when I was downtown at Seattle Center. Its being put on by Ese Teatro and Latitude theatre. It was really charming and its an adaptation of a Columbian work. The actors have really wonderful chemistry and it was really heart warming. I am trying not to spoil the premise but I really liked it! How I interpreted the character of Complimento is that he’s sort of like the Fae that will play tricks to get his way but also is ultimately there to help. The house was pretty empty the night I went and I won’t lie this was pretty solid theatre! Link posted if people wanna try and see it! https://latitudetheatre.org/complemento---august-2026.html

I’m very picky about the way my hair is cut, I’ve had a couple bad ones and now I really need a good trim. Looking for someone who is genuinely talented at cutting hair and who is good with face framing and blending it well so it doesn’t look mullet-y. Willing to go to Lynnwood, MLT, shoreline and Edmonds areas.

Just having a craving for one and haven’t had one in years.
