I live down in Florida and I recently finished my masters degree in a non STEM field. I’ve lived in the south my whole life and I’m thinking of moving to the area for a change of scenery.

The alarms only lasted a few minutes so I assume the situation was gotten under control by the tenants, but the smell was pretty bad. I was approaching my apartment building and got really freaked because I feared it was coming from my building. Thankfully not, and I still don’t know which building had the fire. It just is a good reminder that I have rental insurance…

I just turned 21 and am hoping to move from spokane to seattle soon. I have lived in spokane my whole life and im growing so sick of the close minded thinking lack of diversity and bigotry here especially being so close to Idaho. I’m in desperate need of a new environment and i always love coming to seattle. Could see it being a great place for me to live, so i want to hear about everyone’s experiences living there, the downsides and upsides ,best and worst areas to live in, just everything! Thank you:)

My wife and I will be in Seattle for the first half of September. Have done most of the "main" tourist attractions, but I know there's still plenty to see and do! What do visitors usually miss that you think is worthwhile? Can be in Seattle and/or surrounding areas (Bellevue, Tacoma, nearby island, etc). Share your best recs!

I'm downsizing and have been using offerup, facebook marketplace, and others to get rid of stuff. I've got two a chair that no one has actually bothered to show up to get and Goodwill will not take because of their limited space.

I’m thinking about starting a very unserious women’s fantasy football league with a $20-ish buy-in, where our husbands inevitably end up running our teams. Lol The idea is 10–12 couples, an in-person draft, a group chat, and maybe a few football watch parties throughout the season (my husband has a whole TV wall setup 😂). Basically, a scheme for the wives to make friends and our husbands to make friends without forcing them to go on awkward man dates. You absolutely do not need to know anything about fantasy football. I know nothing and fully intend to have my husband help me draft or just use autodraft lol. We’d exchange socials privately and chat a little first, then do a casual public meetup before the draft so everyone can confirm we’re all real, reasonably normal, and not serial killers. If you and your husband are in the Lynnwood/Edmonds/Mill Creek/Bothell-ish area and this sounds fun, message me and tell me a little about you guys! Once we get a group together, I’ll get a WhatsApp started. For context, my husband and I moved here from Las Vegas last year and have a five-month-old, a dog, and basically no local friends yet. I’m 32, he’s 35, and we’re just trying to meet some fun, normal people. I also feel like this could help with the inevitable winter scaries and give us something to look forward to when it starts getting dark at approximately 2pm 😭

Any parents have a secular homeschool group/co-op going? Seeking to find and meet some new like-minded friends. We are new to the Seattle area and we loved our former home school groups we were involved with.

I visited from somewhere in the USA where Lime sells 350min in 30days for ~$32, and regretted topping up on that before arriving lol. Liming around Seattle was fantastic, yes I parked carefully and was slow/walking on any sidewalk. How is minute bundle pricing in Bellevue? If it's cheaper there that'd make for a good hack. Minute bundles are valid throughout the country they're bought in. So, visitors should save on lime in Seattle by getting bundles at their previous US location if it's cheaper. I also hear there's discount synergy between Lime and the Transit go app.

Saw this little guy walking around 8th Ave NW and NW 70th by himself. Red collar white coat male.

Looking for some advice and also wanted to give people a heads up. Michaels in Juanita is one of the UPS Access Point locations where packages get dropped off if we are not home. I have used it a couple of times before, but I have now had two packages go missing there. The first was a relatively low-value item. Michaels said they never got it and suggested UPS may have marked it incorrectly. The seller ended up replacing it, so I didn't think too much of it. This time, though, it's a lot more serious. I ordered two Google Pixel phones worth over $1,500 each. UPS delivered them to the Juanita Michaels for pickup. When I went to collect them, they only had one package. What really confused me was that the box they gave me had my last name written on it along with " 2 packages ." When I asked about it, I was told UPS probably wrote that. The next day I spoke with our regular UPS driver, who said UPS drivers don't write notes like that on customer packages. I went back to the store later in the evening and they asked me to reach out to the store manager via phone the next morning. I eventually eventually spoke with a manager this morning. She told me that she personally received two packages and that she was the one who wrote "2 packages" on the box. She said she would look around and call me back. After that? Basically radio silence. They have been stalling and the manager has refused to speak to me on the phone. I tried one last time before I drove there and some other manager said that the manager I spoke with in the morning has left for the day and they don't want to answer any more questions. Now they are telling me I need to work with UPS, and they won't discuss it further. I have also been getting the usual runaround trying to reach an actual human at UPS. Google says they need to investigate with UPS before deciding what to do. At this point I am out one phone worth more than $1,500 and spending hours dealing with UPS. Michaels, and Google trying to figure out where it went. Has anyone else had packages disappear from this Michaels location? And would you file a police report at this stage, or wait for the UPS/Google investigation to finish? Not trying to accuse anyone of anything. I honestly just want to know what happened to the package and whether others have had similar experiences at this location. But given that this is the second package issue I have had there, I definitely want to alert UPS about this as I don't want my packages being sent to this Access Point again. Appreciate any advice or experiences people can share. Thanks.
