Hi guys! I’m moving from Toronto to Seattle, and my office will be in Bellevue. I’m trying to decide which area would be best to live in. Would you recommend Kirkland over Bellevue, or should I also consider areas like Green Lake in Seattle, even though the commute to work would be longer? I’ll be sharing a car with my husband, so I’d ideally like to have a gym (LA Fitness), grocery stores, coffee shops, and other amenities within walking distance. I’d also love to live somewhere that feels lively and has a good buzz/community. Coming from Toronto, I’m used to having lots of people, restaurants, and things going on around me! Would love to hear everyone’s thoughts on Kirkland vs. Bellevue vs. Green Lake (or any other areas I should consider).

I haven't renewed my tabs in about... 4 months (they've been expired for 4 months), but to be honest... no one seems to care. Honestly... how important is it to renew your tabs? It's like... $88 to renew it right? Thanks! I've never been pulled over for expired tabs before. Cops don't seem to care at all and cops have been behind me by chance every now and then.

I’m on the hunt for affordable housing downtown. I’ve emailed both. I’d love to know what it’s like living at either. Also, if anyone knows what it’s like working with Housing Hopes to secure housing I’d love to hear it :) Curious about deposit, screening criteria, etc!

Because this is peak harvest season, I'm sure it's very tempting to take ripe produce from your local P-Patch garden. Please don't. I went to water my garden this evening and found that the corn and beans I had been nurturing since spring had all been stolen. What's especially unfortunate is that they weren't actually ready to be harvested yet. Both needed to dry on the vine in order to be utilized properly. Whoever took the corn and beans also cut (with a blade) the one head of cabbage I was growing. They broke over the protective fence I had erected, destroying some of it, in order to access these plants. They left things that still were not ripe. They (mostly) knew what they were doing. I can only hope that person needed the food more than me. Regardless, stealing from someone's P-Patch is a pretty shitty thing to do. Gardners, harvest your produce the minute it's ready. Everyone else, please look with your eyes, not with your hands.

Please, in order to keep traffic flowing like it should, pull all the way forward at your intersection. If you do not pull all the way to the front of the intersection, your car is likely to not trip the sensor, which you can see represented by a crack-sealant filled circle in the pavement. If you do not trip the sensor, the light will not turn for you, nor the person behind you. This is also true if you are not pulled all the way forward at a metered on-ramp, like the one going from SE 8th to 405 Northbound. Thank you, fellow Bellevue drivers!

Dear Seattlites, I recently watched the film streetwise directed by Martin Bell and just wanted to know if the homelessness in Seattle has always been bad and just increasing in how worse it's gotten? The film follows kids in their teens doing whatever to survive the streets of Seattle during the 80s, it quite reminiscent of Kids directed by Larry Clark but actually real. What are your thoughts and have you watched streetwise or at the very least grown up during the 80s to witness this?

my girlfriend's cat got out we think earlier this afternoon (~4:00) in Eastlake around the 2300 block of Minor Ave. he's an older cat, responds to the name Clickbait. he has a very distinct and irritated eye. he does not have a chip either. we don't think he would have went very far - if you're in the neighborhood please keep a look out and shoot me a message if you see him!

​ I need to get the siding on my house replaced. I'm trying to find a good contractor. I've tried r/AskSeattle but didn't get much. Hopefully someone here has the name of a few companies that would be good to check out.

My mom cleaned out her storage unit and found all of my old Magic: The Gathering cards. I’m not much of a collector, where should I take them to sell?
