I went with Quantum Fiber after seeing all the positive reviews online. Huge mistake. It has now been a ten days and I still haven’t had a working internet connection . In that time, three separate technician visits have happened, and somehow nobody has been able to get the service working. The recurring excuse/problem? A broken fiber cable, cord or something somewhere in the line. Apparently fiber is so delicate that getting an internet connection installed is basically a game of “which cable broke this time?” And here’s the best part: apparently there are only 1-2 technicians in the entire Seattle/Renton/Bellevue area who can actually fix these fiber issues (called splicing). So when that cable breaks, you’re not just waiting for a technician you’re waiting for the one magical technician who apparently knows how fiber cables work. The scheduling has been just as bad. The service team gives you a time they’re supposedly going to show up and then you end up waiting the entire day around wondering whether they’re actually coming. Their reliability is genuinely terrible. A company can have fast internet on paper but none of that matters when you can’t actually get connected. After a week of this nonsense, I finally gave up and went with another provider. At least I get the basic luxury of having internet . My advice: be extremely cautious with Quantum Fiber. The advertised speeds and pricing may look great and the online reviews convinced me to give them a shot but my actual experience was an absolute disaster. If their installation/service infrastructure is this fragile and their ability to respond to problems is this poor, what happens when you have an actual outage after you’re already a customer? Maybe I got extraordinarily unlucky. But three technician visits, a week without connectivity, broken fiber cables, unreliable appointment windows and apparently one capable of fixing the problem is more than enough for me. I don’t have time to spend a week playing Where’s the Fiber Cable? just to get basic home internet. Quantum Fiber: 0/10 for my experience.

Howdy! I live near Capitol Hill and am in need of a good tailor, I’m not one to just give my nicer clothes to anyone to cut up and would love a real person’s opinion on where I should go. Happy to dive a little ways if needed. Who would you recommend? Thanks!

Hey all, I'm planning a long-term move to Bellevue and right now looking for a 1 br condo to purchase. Looking online at Zillow etc. I notice most condos have an actual wood-burning fireplace (looking mostly at older apt complexes). My question is: do people actually use those on a regular basis in their apartments? And it does not wreak havoc with the fire alarms?? I literally have PTSD after living for a few years with over-sensitive smoke detectors in new construction, and being regularly woken up at 2am by terrifying alarms from speakers right overhead and having to evacuate the building in cold winter because someone's toaster burned a crumb. I can't imagine living in a place that had actual fireplace in it, and I was wondering how your experiences are?

Hello, I hope this is a good place to pose this question, if not please refer me to better resources. Anyways, my roommates and I were looking to move into a different home in Seattle on the 28th. We just received info from the management company informing us that the owner is having delays with repairs and asked if we could push back our move in date by a week or two. We responded that under no circumstances is that possible because of our current lease ending, already have moving plans, etc. All parties have already signed the lease with the stated 8/28/2026 move in date. My question pertains to what our rights in the situation are should the landlord refuse us access on the 28th. It would be incredibly expensive and stress inducing for us to not gain access because we have to be out of our current home with our belongings. Our lease states “ In no event shall Owner be liable to Resident for damages caused by failure to deliver possession of the premises. If possession of the premises is not tendered within 5 days of the commencement of the term of this Agreement, Resident may terminate this Agreement by giving written notice to Owner, and any monies paid by Resident to Owner shall be refunded to Resident.” I understand that should that hold true, we wouldn’t be able to go after the landlord, but is that clause legal in Seattle? I have tried doing my own independent research and I am trying not to freak out because I do not have the resources to deal with a situation like this. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated

Hopefully this is related since KEXP is based in Seattle. I think it's really cool they are doing this to honor her.

Hi. This is my trike, stolen recently from North Seattle. Someone reported seeing it in the Lynnwood area, near Chik-Fil-A, heading towards Alderwood. Please contact me with any sightings. Thank you so much

Now is the time to visit the Ballard Locks fish ladder: Thousands of Chinook salmon have passed through this August, including more than 2,500 counted during one five-day stretch.

I realize with the school year starting this is the stupidest time to ask this, but if we move OUT of the Issaquah School District, can we keep our kids in their current school, for the year? (say we move in Jan or Feb). Or do they immediately have to transfer to their new school district? If we don't sell our old house immediately, could we stay in the school district until we sell that house? (Trying to gauge what impact moving would have on my kids)
