Hi! I am a creative working with clothes/ photography and on my way to starting my own brand. I am in north seattle and have been looking for a good work space. Doesn’t matter if it’s a private place that a single person is renting or a company. all i need is good lighting and enough space, any recommendations would be amazing!

Hi! I am a RN of 3 years looking to possibly relocate to Seattle! I was wondering how different it is then working as a nurse in Canada? The goods and the bad lol! And overall how different it is thanks so much in advance

Last night at Lotus Nails off 19th and Mildred in Fircrest, my wallet was stolen. How? I am not sure. Never has it fallen out of my purse, but here I am walletless and in the throes of my own investigation and I GOT THEM ON CAMERA USING MY CREDIT CARD. Here’s the story: My friend and I were getting our nails done from 4-5:15pm. I went home made dinner and looked at my phone at 7:30 to have two fraud alerts from BECU. I immediately called and thankfully they auto locked my card when a charge for about $5,500 was attempted at Zales in the Tacoma Mall. At this point I am thinking my numbers got stolen, then it dawns on me, you can’t shop online at the B&I. I run to my purse while on the phone with fraud and MY WALLET IS GONE, the whole thing. This has never happened to me before and I immediately think back to two suspects I was in the nail salon with — they made everyone there very uncomfy, you know the feeling. So I finish the fraud call and call Zales and ask if they had someone come in and attempt a charge at 7:30 and the lady was like “yes we did!! I asked for ID and they didn’t give one and left” I then asked her to explain what they looked like and BINGO, the two people at the nail salon. I called Fircrest police and met them outside the salon and filed a police report and was informed that I’ll have to get the evidence. Baffling but I can hold a grudge and tempt me with a sleuthing activity. This morning I went to Arco (currently meeting with the owner tomorrow to get footage of a license plate), Lotus nails (owner is getting me footage), Zales (loss prevention is in the works and actively working with their security) and then The TOP TO BOTTOM…. that’s where I get to see these upstanding citizens again, the man immediately knew the transaction based on it being their largest yesterday, at 7:03pm totaling $985.69. Then I get the receipt with the last four of MY CREDIT CARD and then the video footage of them very pleased with themselves completing their purchase. Completed with a heart signature for the card, perfect. Needless to say, I’m going to blast their photos everywhere and crime stoppers has the video and screen shots of their faces, Fircrest police do as well so now Reddit, my friends, here they are. 💁🏼‍♀️

hi all, I lost my camera at Golden Gardens Friday night and I wanted to make a post to ask around to see if anybody was there that night and potentially found something. At this point I just need the SIM card. I will pay a finders fee$$$ reach out if so!! Sydney

i’ve seen multiple people eating what looks like berries off the bushes at green lake; what are these? are they edible?

Depending on our visa process, I may be visiting Seattle for a couple of weeks with my partner to attend an art event that they are invited to. We are keeping our budget as tight as possible but I would like to take them out to eat at least a couple of times. We come from a third-world country and this will be our very first time visiting the USA, which I understand has a big tipping culture that isn't quite as widespread in the rest of the world. In my country, people generally tip if the place is fancy, or you spent a lot of time there, or the service was exceptional, but it isn't a custom and no one tries to guilt-trip you into it. I read on other posts here that 20% is still the norm on tipping, but it feels a little extreme to me on my budget, even though I completely accept and understand that tips are really important for a good quality of life in such an expensive city. Any advise on what should I do (skip dine-in, tip less, or respect the norms) would be really welcome. Also, are such tips expected on delivery and take-out as well? And what about non-restaurant settings, like cabs or cinema? Some financial context: I work in IT in my country and make about 15K USD/yr, much less than the average server in most of America. Of course, cost of living is a factor too but we still live paycheck to paycheck pretty much. The return ticket to Seattle for a single person costs about 80% of my monthly salary, but this event is really important for my partner, who is an artist just finding their footing in their field, so we are digging into our savings. Lastly, to restaurant and other minimum wage workers: please don't take offence at my question. I wouldn't give this a second thought if I didn't feel so financially constrained. Thank you for understanding.

Work at Whole Foods in Roosevelt, powers been out since 3 am, this is like a quarter of what we have to throw out today. Going to be a crazy long day lol. EDIT: I can see where this is going lol, just to clarify I could care less about Amazon losing money, and I would love if we donated it, but it is t up to me, I’m just sharing because I thought this was a crazy situation.

Nothing like waking up to your neighbor texting, "My car window was smashed this morning, looks like yours was too." Sure enough, someone had shattered our car window, scooped everything from the center console, dumped it on the seat, and left. Nothing of value was in the car, so nothing of value was lost. As we looked at the damage, other neighbors came out to find their cars had also been broken into. I counted eight other cars, not including our neighbor's. No pattern, no rhyme or reason. Just some dipshit with a window punch (we could tell because they tried some cars but couldn't break the windows, only leaving divots with tiny spiderweb cracks) just going down two blocks, breaking and taking. I took pictures, filed an online report, and expect nothing to be done. On the one hand, this sucks. On the other, I got to meet a bunch of my neighbors I never had before. We're all cleaning up the glass and trading temporary report numbers from SPD. (One ironic thing: as a group of us were talking in the middle of the street, an SPD patrol car rolled by at the end of the block. They probably weren't responding to us, and they never looped back.) I'm bringing the shop vac around to help everyone clean the shard out of the nooks and crannies that every car has. Maybe that's all we can do anyway: work together to pick up someone else's mess so it doesn't screw up anyone else's day.

Hi All - I am moving from Chicago to Redmond. Little new here so would love to ask around on kid friendly townhomes/ apartments to rent at. We have a toddler so would love a community that has access to parks etc so the kid can make friends and play. I don’t mind a single family home too but just thought a townhomes would be much better since I can get to meet new people and make friends. Looking for a 3bed+. Please send in your suggestions. Thanks in advance.
