moving to a new city means there are always things you don’t understand until you’ve lived there for a while. with seattle, some of those things seem obvious in hindsight, but probably aren’t obvious to someone who just arrived could be the weather, neighborhoods, traffic, social life, outdoor culture, housing or something completely different what’s one thing you wish someone had told you before moving to seattle?

My friend’s adult trike was stolen last night from their apartment on Stone Way and N 94th (a block away from Aurora). They are devastated, it’s their only form of transportation and they put so much of their time and money into it. They are already struggling financially and don’t have anywhere near the funds to replace it. It’s motorized and has a very distinct look, purple with polka dot seat and backrest (see photo). Please message me if you know anything, or where we might look for it, what recourse she might have. Would the apartment be liable at all? It was stolen from the garage in her apartment building, it’s possible the side door had been left unlocked, I don’t know if the trike itself was locked up to anything while in the garage. Thanks for any and all help, feel free to crosspost or message me, thanks!
Hello! I just recently learned you can get free passes from the library for the zoo, aquarium, and museums! I hear it’s almost impossible to get a pass though (especially for the zoo and aquarium). How do you get notice when the passes are available to book?
I have a love hate relationship with Seattle. Best childhood memories came from Seattle back in late 90s. When I moved back as an adult in 2010 the city felt very pretentious and cliquish. Does Seattle want to be an attractive city to begin with? I’ve been to San Francisco, Austin, LA, Boston, NYC. Seattle just seems like it could be so much better than all those cities.
Relocating from the NY area to Bellevue this December. While I have the apartment hunting in the works (will visit again in early Nov to sign the lease etc.) and have a general lay of the land but I'm trying to get ahead of the part that's harder to plan for: actually building a life there once I start settling down as I don't know anyone in the area. I work from home, so I'm trying to figure out where the "third places" are in the surrounding areas. Popular coffee shops, parks, book clubs, gyms, hiking groups, anything with a recurring cadence ideally. Doesn't have to be Bellevue proper. Happy to hear about Kirkland, Redmond and even across the bridge and wherever, if it's worth the trip. I prefer coffee over bars, hiking, road trips, over happy hour, and I'll take the rain over another NYC muggy summer. Also, generally starting over solo after ~ 5 years on the East Coast ( ~15 in Cali before that), so if anyone's in a similar boat and wants to compare notes, please reach out. Thank you for the insights.

Hey hey! My girlfriend and I are looking to join a group together (living in Ballard). We are experienced players and are looking for a new fun group to join! We both play in groups currently however we would like to play together in a rad group too. We love role playing and just having a great time all around. There will be no shortage of baked snacks and well just delicious munchies!
Hi there! I’m hoping someone here has gotten their dogs teeth cleaned recently and can help me with finding a cheaper but still reputable vet clinic to get it done through. We just had a quote from Queen Anne animal clinic that was $2500 and we are really not looking to spend that much in this economy. Is this normal? Should we expect this from other places? Obviously don’t want to skip it for the health of our dog but it was quite a shock to see that number. Thanks in advance!
Hello Seattle A little while ago, I reached out across a few different groups asking if there were existing regular meetups in the area for artists, thinkers, or just anyone who loves getting together for great, thoughtful conversations. Based on the feedback, upvotes, and interest from folks looking for a similar space, I thoyght why not give it a shot and create one. The goal is simply to bring together curious minds on a regular basis to share perspectives, life lessons, big ideas, creative projects, or whatever inspires deep thought and helps everyone introspect, learn, and grow. I have put together a short interest form to be filled if you wish to join such a community. I don't know what shape it would take and possibly won't have all the answers as of now, but hope it turns into something worthwhile. https://forms.gle/P6FzEfEdiHaJmHeH9
