Looking for a company in the Seattle (Ballard area) that is comfortable walking Bernese Mountain Dogs. My boy is 1.5yrs old and we had been using one company for walks as my husband and I both work 12 hour shifts. We alternate between doggy daycare and boarding, as he has had a few hot spots and recently had pneumonia that he is still recovering from. The dog walking company we used just informed us he is “too big” for even their strongest walkers and they will no longer be able to offer us their services. He is a big boy (most recently 132lbs) but my husband walks him with our 60lb goldendoodle without issues. Looking for anyone in the area that may know of a company that could provide walks to our sweet big boy!

My partner is plus size and needs a dress fitted to their proportions. Any recommendations for tailors experienced working with bigger bodies? We’re willing to drive out of Seattle as well, but would be nice if there’s a place in North Seattle.

My(37M) wife(34F) told me she doesn't love me anymore a week ago today. I don't want this, and I'm shocked. Had some issues only recently (few months) but they were not deal breakers and I was willing to /and actively working on them. Haven't seen her since, don't know the next steps, but I'll save the novel. We just moved to the area 18 months ago (Tacoma is the closest large city). My local friends are all at least 45 minutes away, have families/kids/jobs. They've been absolutely fantastic, but I just need something they can't (and shouldn't) provide. I didn't prioritize building up my social network as much as I wanted to. It was a goal of mine before buying the house, I just focused too hard on house projects. I just feel very lonely sitting in our half remodeled house (I work at home) with sparse contact to the outside world. I'm probably still too raw to join any "normal" social groups yet (pickleball league? Hiking? Mountain bikes? Idk) but I do intend to eventually. For now I'm going to therapy and looking for others in similar position to feel less alone. Grief and loss. Emotional trauma. Etc. Ideally not religion based. I've had too many bad experiences in my life at churches and with religious people and do not feel safe around them, but I will appreciate any suggestions.

The attack on the transgender man here in Spokane is horrifying, and I know incidents like this can make LGBTQ+ people across Washington wonder whether they're truly safe or welcome in their own communities, especially on this side of the state. Please take care of yourselves and each other. Be aware of your surroundings, check in on your friends and neighbors, and don't be afraid to ask for help when you need it. But I also don't want hatred like this to convince us that we don't belong here. Whether you're in Spokane, the Tri-Cities, Yakima, Vancouver, Seattle, Bellingham, or a tiny town somewhere in between: this is your home too. The people who want LGBTQ+ people to disappear from public life do not get to decide who belongs in Washington. For our allies: please keep showing up. Fly the flag. Speak up when you hear someone dehumanizing LGBTQ+ people. Support the people in your community who may be feeling particularly vulnerable right now. Sometimes, simply knowing that the people around us have our backs makes a tremendous difference. And for anyone who decides that leaving their community is what they need to do to feel safe, there is absolutely no shame in that, either. Nobody owes a city, town, etc. their personal safety and happiness. Staying can be an act of resilience, but leaving can be an act of self-preservation. Stay safe. Stay strong. Don't let anyone convince you that you don't belong. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

Looking for recommendations for places to get a tattoo lasered off. Everett proper is ideal

A friend of mine was sitting at Real Fine Coffee in Capitol Hill (616 E Pine St, Seattle, WA 98122) just grabbing a morning coffee before work and a guy came over and handed him this dog and basically ran off. The guy said he'd be right back. Didn't come back for over an hour so my friend called me because he has to go to work. So now I have this dog, I have to go to work at two I have two cats who puppers can't really hang out with without supervision. l've called the number on his tags and it's disconnected, he has a license and I called the City of Seattle Animal Shelter and wasn't able to get through to anyone. Any suggestions on what I should I do?

Hello everyone! I am unfortunately about to start divorce proceedings, not really something I want but my partner does and they’re being pretty shitty about it. I’ve put up with a lot and I mean A LOT for this person including infidelity and abuse, from emotional to physical but it seems not enough for them to have an ounce of empathy or understanding now. Does anyone know of any good divorce lawyers? I’m past the wanting them to snap out of it and wanting to be with them phase, I’d like to make this as difficult, hard and financially painful as possible for them. I gave up school and moved around quite a bit for their career and they’ve been blowing through money and making big purchases depleting the savings I was told I could walk away with. Is it petty? Yes very much so but if you knew the stuff they’ve pulled you’d understand. So if anyone has recommendations for an absolute bulldog of a divorce attorney, please send them my way.

Hey folks, I’m going to be in Seattle for like 24 hours next week for work, and should have 2-3 free hours on Wednesday afternoon to do something cool/fun. Is there any way to get out on the water in that amount of time, like take a ferry somewhere cool roundtrip? Or an esp interesting thing you’d recommend checking out? I’m a big KEXP fan so was thinking maybe stopping by the community space there just to check it out. Appreciate any suggestions to get the most out of your beautiful city in not much time!

OK, so this is really weird. A friend of mine was sitting at real fine coffee in Capitol Hill just grabbing a morning coffee before work and a guy came over and handed him a dog and basically ran off.
