Today I encountered a woman begging with her child outside the supermarket in South Seattle. This woman told me that she needs help paying rent. I'm assuming she needs help with groceries and other basic necessities. I have no idea what her home life is like. What can I do? I'm not wealthy, I just get by and I have no family to safely fall back on. I've got my own challenges. It's a difficult economy for everyone, and of course those most vulnerable hurt the hardest first. I wish I could submit an incident form or call a hotline to some outreach professionals who know how to deal with the situation and can get the woman setup with resources. I was so tired myself, I didn't know what to buy her. I thought about eggs, but worried she might not have a stove. I didn't know if she could cook or what she needed. I also felt frustrated because what good is one meal? She's going through a crisis, she needs more than a meal! So I walked out with nothing for her!! :( I'm super frustrated with myself for that (and I have to acknowledge how tired I am today too). I want to print some cards with helpful information for those in financial crisis due to the high costs of rent, food, and life now. I can at least carry the cards around with me to hand out. And maybe I can find time to volunteer with an organization that will help me better understand how to respond in the future.

Hey Seattle! Former bike mechanic here. A couple months ago I set up on Lake Washington blvd near the Mt Baker rowing center giving free bike tune-ups, and it went so well that I'm doing it again! I miss working on bikes and it's a fun way I can give back to the community. Come say hi and enjoy one of the last bike weekends on the blvd!

I'm going to a concert soon and never driven to the Climate Pledge myself. I know parking in Seattle is expensive especially at popular events. I saw Stubhub was offering parking tickets but I'm not sure if that's entirely legit or if there's a safer place to maybe find parking passes in advanced.

Anyone know the name of the band playing in downtown park this evening? Was walking by with my toddler so I couldn’t stop and get details but they were awesome and I’d love to support them somehow.

Hi all, I was at pickleball event today and heard from lots of people about their neighborhood WhatsApp groups and I want to create one for Alki. It would be a way to reach out and see who is free and interested to play in the neighborhood. Please DM me if you want to be included. Please only respond if you want to play and have fun!

I've been trying to hop the 44 to the u-district for about 2 hours now. Haven't seen a single 44 go by, all the transit apps say it's 6 minutes away but the delay keeps going up, to the point they're 40+minutes delayed. Seems to be stuck on the west end of ballard near the turn around for the route.

Does anyone have a responsible attorney for a car dealership issue selling a crap used car?

Long shot I know, but I thought I’d give it a whirl. It’s a set of two keys (silver and blue) attached to a holographic pill container depicting a cowboy. Maybe the universe will be on my side? TIA.
