Does anybody know if they are a reliable store? I ask this because I got my console there recently cleaned(still in shop) and I’m getting worried that they might be one of those shops that intentionally makes mistakes on electronics to get more money. Unfortunately I didn’t have this thought until after I sent in and paid for the cleaning to be done on my console. I ask u guys because I cannot find anything online about their console repair reviews on google or their website. If anyone has had an experience here please let me know and sorry if this is a stupid question I just don’t have the money to get other stuff fixed on that console.

I have a 4-year-old rescue Schnauzer/Terrier mix who is a frustrated greeter, and I’m looking for a trainer in the Seattle area who specializes in neutrality around other dogs and, ideally, uses their own stable, neutral dog for practice. We completed a reactivity course through Ahimsa Dog Training in Seattle, and it was really helpful. We learned tools like “find it,” “look at me,” and “1-2-3 treat,” as well as how to create distance and move away from triggers. Those skills have helped us manage her reactions. The part I’m struggling with now is actually walking past another dog calmly. When she sees a dog on a walk, she gets extremely excited. She may whine/cry, pull toward them, and sometimes bark. She really wants to get to the other dog. Interestingly, she occasionally goes to daycare and does completely fine in an environment where she is allowed to interact and play with other dogs. So I don’t think she is generally aggressive toward dogs; she just has a very hard time staying neutral when she sees one while on leash. I’d really like to work on the skill of: I see another dog → I acknowledge them → I can keep walking without needing to greet them The biggest challenge is that I don’t have friends or family with a dog who I can reliably practice this with. Honestly, it has also become pretty mentally exhausting to walk her because I feel like I’m constantly scanning ahead for dogs, trying to figure out where they are, whether we have enough distance, and how I’m going to redirect her before she reacts. I love walking her, but it’s gotten to the point where I’m always “on alert” instead of just enjoying a walk with my dog. So I’m wondering if anyone knows of a Seattle-area trainer who: Specifically works with frustrated greeters/reactive dogs Focuses on neutral walking, not just management/distance Uses their own neutral/stable dog as a controlled training setup, or has access to appropriate helper dogs Has experience with dogs who are social/playful but struggle with leash neutrality I’m definitely open to private lessons or a structured training program. I’m just looking for someone who can help us practice the actual skill in a controlled way. Would love any trainer recommendations or personal experiences!

I know she doesn't know it, but my little buddy is 10 as of today. I'd like to do something with her to commemorate the day, but I'm blanking on what to do around town with her. What would you do? I'm stuck in Bellevue at the moment, but travel isn't a problem, and she lived downtown for 6 years so Seattle proper is totally fair game.

Was there some kind of event going on last night late into the night? I was hearing what sounded like a huge crowd cheering until around 1 am. Sounded like a concert crowd or something. I'm right off meridian and wasnt sure where it was coming from just seemed really odd. I'm used to the one off screams and hollering but this sounded like a concert crowd lol

I will be moving to the area soon and the complex has astound and xfinity as their providers. I was curious what people's experiences were with either provider. Thanks for any help! Edit: Just realized yes Xfinity won't be fiber, so it's their broadband 1G vs Astound's 1 GB fiber. Unfortunately no zipper on this property.

You can.look her up, she’s a bitch. Pulls 240k a year and couldn’t handle staying on to fight for her team. Side note, says some racist shit to her Asian neighbors.

Hey folks, we are moving all the way from Florida to Puyallup into the big, absurd house that we are going to be renovating from top to bottom. This is both a relocation and business expansion for us. We need recommendations for the following: Dentists Dog daycare Primary care physicians - my love has numerous struggles that we are trying to identify Psychiatric care physicians - anxiety management Plumbers Electricians And maybe moral support HA We have spoken to multiple electricians who all gave us absurd quotes for basic work, and we may need to do much of it ourselves, but would like to know if folks have recommendations at all. On top of that, the personal aspects are just that the medical care in Florida is horrendous for us. We are both trans and would rather not be sent to ten different doctors just for general practice.
