My wife and I are looking for a nice cafe worth posting up for a few hours with a book -- I don't think we'll find anything as perfect as our old favorite beanbag-infested espresso bar + panini-spot + bookshop that shut down back in California, but is there something in a similar vein? More local-business and come-stay-awhile than Starbucks or Woods coffee, but something that's a bit loungier than Red Twig where we're not taking up a hotly-demanded table for snacking and sipping leisurely. What gems am I missing? Thanks for any thoughts, and in advance for making our Saturday morning book and coffee time more out-of-the-house!

My neighbors in the central district have 2 out door russian blue cats thats Ive named Corn (because hes thin with yellow eyes) and pumkin (because hes round with orange eyes). They both have airtags on their collars and they wont let me get near them. Im also not totally sure what house they belong to, I have a guess just based on where they hang out. Im generally worried for them because its not great for them to be out on their own with potential coyotes and other dangers. Its bad for the wildlife too, both birds and mice, which could be poisoned. I almost hit one driving home tonight in the dark. I had only ever seen them during the day so I wasnt even expecting them at night. So I dont know where they live, or how to ask or even explain to the owners why they shouldnt be let out like this. Also I dont have an iphone. The best possible version I can imagine is they let me get close enough to attach a note to their collar. If anyone has any suggestions please let me know, Im so worried for them.

I’ve tried Ziply, Quantum, Astound, Fidium, and EarthLink and none of them seem to service east of Marymoor Park. Is Xfinity really the only option??

I know it's spider season, but this year has felt exceptionally bad for me. Usually I'll find one or maybe two a week, but I've been finding at least one almost every day this year. Just this morning I found 2 in the living room, and 1 in my shower. Last night there was one in my bedroom and one in my kitchen, and one crawled ACROSS my bed a couple weeks ago. Is anyone dealing with the same, or did one just have babies or something in my house this year😭

Whoever is making the food at Dick’s on Broadway extra salty tonight, knock it off. Fries and cheeseburger got me puckered. Anyone else notice?

Trying to decide between Transform 180 and Flow Fitness around SLU. My main goal is strength training and building muscle, but I also want a gym with a good community and social vibe. I visited Flow and really liked the atmosphere, but some of the Google reviews about billing and management made me hesitant. There is a 21 day plan for 29$ that I plan to try. Transform 180 seems more focused on serious lifting and is cheaper, while Flow seems to have a better overall vibe and more classes. Has anyone here tried both? Which one would you pick for strength training, equipment, crowds around 7–9 pm, community, and overall value?

~$20 to park in Swedish garage for 8h which is about how long it took waiting in the ed. If you go in an ambulance fine but if you’re driving then the free parking at overlake Ed seems like a better deal even if you take the toll bridge. Doesn’t help that transit to the Swedish Ed is basically nonexistent. So unless you can’t wait the extra 10-20 min driving to Bellevue (maybe more in rush hour traffic if you get unlucky?), that seems worth it for the free parking alone. Of course if your issue is urgent but not a potential emergency then go to urgent care but if it requires imaging then urgent care places often don’t have all the necessary equipment and will send you to the ed anyway.

Does anyone know where I could get a tattoo like this in Seattle, near Seattle, or Tacoma?

Corner of N 7th street and J street near North Slope Launderette. Saw two cats playing with it but I shooed them away. The squirrel is still breathing but wasn’t moving or opening its eyes. Doesn’t appear to be injured. Hoping someone here has a heart for squirrels that may be able to care for it.

I was running greenlake tonight. I never run at night but was waiting for the temp to cool off. I was on the inside track between the boathouse and bongos. I was running North, closest side to the lake. I saw the owl swoop a couple walking in front of me. It was massive. We stopped to try and look for it in the trees. I told them to have a good night and kept running. I then felt the talons on my head - it didn’t claw me, take out any hair or leave a mark but thoroughly scared the shit out of me. The couple that had been walking had seen it come down on me. I was wearing a ponytail with no hat. It happened around 8:30 PM. Just wanted to make other walkers / runners of greenlake aware! I know other parks have signs to beware but I haven’t seen any around Greenlake.
