My Mom is visiting and wants to take me to “a nice dinner” and she loves the market, and French food. She’s been to all the usual suspects around there (place pigalle, le pichet, cafe campagne, etc), except Maximilien. I haven’t been in years, and when I did go it was usually for a team happy hour. Seattle locals who identify as discerning when it comes to food and vibes, what would you recommend? Thanks! PS - I want to check out Lonely Siren, so I was thinking start there for cocktails and then Maximilien for dinner?

Hello, Recently diagnosed and undergoing active treatment. I live with my husband but other than that don’t have any family and friends here in Seattle. I lost my job about 4 years back and haven’t been able to find another, so it feels very lonely. I am wondering if there are any support groups available? Thanks!

The Lake Forest Park Bar and Grill closed earlier this year. I happened to see that, after they closed, they posted to their facebook page their recipe for their meatloaf... but their account has since gone offline and the post is removed. Did anyone happen to capture that recipe and mind sharing? Thanks!

Hey everyone, I currently work at Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard in Hawaii as a production electrical worker, and I’ve been seriously considering transferring to Puget Sound Naval Shipyard in Bremerton. Part of the reason for the move is that I’ve lived in Hawaii for a long time and want to experience something completely different for a while. I’m interested in actually living in Seattle and experiencing city life rather than living right next to the shipyard. My idea would be to live somewhere around downtown/Lower Queen Anne/belltown and commute to Bremerton using the Seattle–Bremerton fast ferry. For anyone currently working at PSNS or who has transferred there from another naval shipyard, I’d really appreciate some insight. ● What is the overall work culture like at PSNS, especially for production trades? ● What is the electrical shop like? ● Is overtime common? More importantly, is OT usually voluntary or can it be mandatory? ● What are the typical start and finish times for first shift? ● How is the work/life balance? ● How does PSNS compare to Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard? ● Has anyone lived in Seattle and commuted to PSNS using the fast ferry? Is it realistic to do every day? ● How reliable is the ferry when you actually have to be at work on time? ● How do PSNS supervisors handle ferry delays or cancellations? ● Does the ferry schedule work well with normal shipyard start/end times? ● I’ve also heard PSNS has the TIPS program that helps employees pay for public transportation. Does anyone use it for the Seattle–Bremerton ferry and/or Seattle transit? How much of the commuting cost does it actually cover? ● Anything you wish you knew before transferring to PSNS? I know living in Seattle and commuting across the water probably isn’t the easiest or cheapest option, but being able to experience living in the city is a big part of why I’m considering the move in the first place. I’d rather have a longer commute and get that experience than move from one shipyard community directly into another. I’m mainly trying to get a realistic picture of what my day-to-day life would look like before I start seriously pursuing the transfer. Any advice from PSNS employees, especially production workers or anyone who has made the Pearl Harbor → Puget Sound transfer, would be appreciated. Thanks!

Just over a quarter of adults in Snohomish County voted in the August 4 primary election. We analyzed county records to understand why. On August 18, Snohomish County certified the August 4 primary, reporting a 33 percent turnout based on 182,704 ballots counted from 545,986 registered voters. But Snohomish County is home to roughly 680,000 adults, and about 545,000 of them are registered to vote. That means, taking population into account, turnout was closer to 27 percent. Over 92 percent of residents over 65 are registered to vote, and they were four and a half times more likely to vote in this primary than a resident aged 18 to 24, among whom less than 70 percent are registered to vote. And of the 544,715 people registered and active in Snohomish County, 362,445 - about 67 percent - received a ballot in the mail and did not return it. The rest of the numbers are here: https://everettcommunity.org/news/2026/08/primary-turnout-numbers/

A few people asked for an update so here it is. I was able to get the car fixed thanks to a lovely redditer who came out and did the work for free. Thanks, dude, you're truly the best. As far as the kids who broke into the vehicle, I was scrolling on tiktok (don't come at me) and saw a video of some of the same kids being arrested down by Othello. I have not heard anything from the cops, but I'm just gonna consider that aspect of it over. While my tenacity was entertaining for some when it happened, once the car was drivable again, I didnt care as much about finding them. Karma seemed to work it all out in the end. Big thank you to all the people who reached out to help or just extend kindness in a shitty moment. I will truly never be leaving Seattle. Love you guys

Does anybody know how much longer the road will be closed there? Can anyone explain WHY the road remains closed after work hours?

In town for 2 days and would like to purchase Actual Paper Maps of the area. Alternatively, is there a place I can purchase USGS grids/topos etc?
