"On the derailment, can I just say it's been a few days: I think we should have some more information about the cause, to be honest, because a derailment is a life-threatening situation," Balducci said. "So, I'm really interested to know that we know what happened so that it's not going to happen with a train with people on it." The Urbanist reached out to Sound Transit this week to see how the investigation was progressing into how the bolts were sheared off without the agency's track inspection team noticing, but no new details were offered. ~ Twenty-year-old bolts sheared off a switch, and the same inspection regime that missed them is the reason we are being told it won't happen again.

Will be in town this weekend and Sunday will be attending a Seattle Reign soccer match at Lumen field. Any nearby bars (preferably lesbian/queer) or recs for good food to hit up after the match? Thanks!

Qualifying Washington residents can receive up to 12 weeks of paid family leave to bond with their newborns. The relevant WAC section defines a week as “seven consecutive days.” So do you get 84 days of paid leave? Or is it 60 days (based on a five day work week)? I ask because you can use this leave however you want. If you want to take two days off from work per week, you could. Or you could take 12 consecutive weeks off. The difference is 30 weeks or 42 weeks of being functionally part-time.

​ Hi everyone, my wife just gave birth and she has been craving sushi for months at this point. I'm trying to see if there's restaurants in the area that do sushi 'boats'. She saw it on Instagram and I'm now tasked with figuring out where to get that. I saw oto sushi in Kirkland has it on their menu but that's really the only one I have found so far.

I need help figuring out this “service charge” applied to my bill at Taylor Shellfish in QA. It’s stated clearly, and the staff reminded me before I paid and applied a tip, so that’s not the rant. But is it a tip or not? I don’t want to stiff the staff if “Taylor Shellfish” the company keeps it all and doesn’t give them anything. Why do restaurants do this vs raise the prices. If that’s how they offset the cost of doing business in the city, I feel it’s not a good customer experience. It’s really annoying since it is confusing to the customer. Does the staff get any of it, hence why there is an “additional tip” line after the card is run though? It is taxed so it makes me thing it’s not going to the staff. I need to think better next time I come out here.

What is your experience living in either beacon hill or south Seattle? Does it carry the energy of “central Seattle”(Fremont, Queen Anne, cap hill…) Context: I (28F) want to move to Seattle but I work full time in Tacoma. I enjoy Fremont, Ballard, Greenlake, and downtowns’ vibe but am unsure what’s up with the southern area of Seattle.

Hey everyone, not sure if this would be the place to ask but I’m looking to move to Seattle to be closer to my GI doctor and want to get into health care. My resume is alright I’m a prior navy nuke with lab experience but I don’t really know how to get my foot in the door of any basic level entry medical jobs around or what to look for that still includes patient interaction. Any sort of advice or recommendations on what path to look down would be greatly appreciated. I plan on getting into an EMT school and going to college after but I need a good job to pay rent and all the other stuff that would align with me goals

Hello! I'm a student building some side projects over the summer, and one of my biggest frustrations is finding out about in-person hackathons after they've happened. To solve this, I built a site finding internships, workshops, research, competitions, and other opportunities around Seattle. It's completely open source and free to use, and scrapes each week to find new opportunities to build your resume! If you want to check it out and leave a star on the GitHub, that would be greatly appreciated. Website: https://theagencymge.github.io/nextup-pnw/ GitHub: https://github.com/TheAgencyMGE/nextup-pnw

I have a group of 10 older gals that are going together to Uwajimaya in a few weeks (on a Thursday around 11:00 am) for a bit of random shopping. We will want a bite to eat but I’m not sure what Uwajimaya itself offers for eating? I read there is a deli but I’m not sure how much seating it has. We don’t need to all sit at same table but do they even have enough tables for ten? Are there any other eating options? What if we bought snacky time foods in the store - is there a place nearby to sit and eat them outside perhaps? Or —- Alternatively a lunch place that we could all walk to that’s within 2-3 blocks at most where they might take a lunch reservation? Thanks so much!!!

I built a site for finding internships, workshops, research, competitions, and other opportunities around Seattle. It's open-source and free for anybody to use. If you want to add an opportunity, you can through GitHub Issues. It constantly scrapes every week and find new opps. Let me know if you have any questions!
