So, I miss playing guitar hero 3 and I’m wondering if there are any arcades that currently have it? Thank you in advance.

Anyone have any idea if this was a civilian or some event? Getting woken up that early wasn’t on my agenda today.

Hello, I'm looking for a hair salon that'll cut split ends for less that $80ish. I got my ends trimmed on mid-June but my usual hair stylist won't trim split ends, especially the ones on mid length. I have tailbone length straight hair and I don't really want to compromise on length and have a new person screw my hair by cutting it more than necessarily needed. Preferably Bellevue/U District Thank you!

At Bitter and Herb on Capitol Hill last week, I throughly enjoyed two gimlets and an appetizer, about $55 inclusive of tax and tip. The next day, when I saw they’d charged me $105, I called the restaurant, and they told me to wait a few days, that their “authorization hold” would clear and the final, lesser charge would be processed. It has now been 8 days with no change. Sheesh. So many better ways to spend my day than lodging complaints. Has this ever happened to you?

State officials initially claimed cap-and-trade funded projects had reduced greenhouse gas emissions by 8.6 million metric tons, when the true figure was 1.2 million metric tons. Internal records showed state officials recognized the magnitude of the 7.4 million metric ton discrepancy immediately. The delay highlights an operational policy requiring gubernatorial approval for agency communications, which critics argue acts as an inefficient roadblock to sharing timely, critical information with the public. ~ The math was off by a factor of seven and the correction still needed a permission slip.

Hello everyone! I officially accepted a job and signed my lease in West Seattle! My daughter and I are relocating from out of state and I’m seeing that West Seattle High doesn’t provide traditional bussing. My daughter has very limited exposure to public transportation. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to acclimate and is it generally a pretty safe area for her to be commuting in? For reference, we are moving to the Fairmount Park area. Any input would be greatly appreciated!

Anyone have an idea why it smells like burning rubber or plastic on atlas road? Is it just the smell of the hood this week or something else? **I know a mattress store burned because friends have had issues. But also its strongest when the code enforcement and non emergency fire folks wont answer 5pm to 9am. And barely even then. But damnit if I burn leaves in a ring with a waterhose I deserve a ticket**

Update following my last post. I have read comments regarding the new cameras and taken them into consideration, and took time to really see what it's like now driving through this area. And I guess to clarify a bit, I agree with the new speed limit on Coal Creek however what I do not agree with is the speeding cameras on forest drive. The four new cameras were definitely a wasted resource due to poor placement. They placed them in the two areas that are always backed up with traffic and held up by flashing crosswalk. They should've put them by the hill in front of Amherst. The first day I saw the cameras I immediately started taking a different route to get to and from home and after two days I posted here to see what other people thought about the cameras. Then I decided to use this road as much as I could to see how the average forest drive commute was and my suspicions were correct. Almost half the time I leave and come back, the person in front of me will slam on the brakes when they see the posted sign or camera box and start driving 25 in the 30. It's really really annoying to have to trail behind these guys knowing that you're coming up on a congested intersection (Coal Creek) next. For some context, the speed limit is currently 30 and I personally always go 35-36 on this road and it's perfectly fine because it's a straight road for the most part with flashing light cross walks. For those of you saying, "Just don't speed" "Go the speed limit" "If you don't speed, then you shouldn't have to worry about this" "the roads are dangerous" you're definitely one of the people going under the speed limit causing congestion. JUST PAY ATTENTION TO THE ROAD IN FRONT OF YOU What makes me personally mad about the cameras is that because I go an average of 35, it cuts close to the camera trigger speed which from what I've read is 38. So now I have to deal with brake checking tortoises and a fine of $120 if I get too close to that trigger speed. Some of us do not have the luxury of pissing away time behind "you guys" and 35 is a perfectly reasonable speed for this street. You could say going 5 or 6 above the speed limit won't get you where you need to be any faster but yes, it does. Time is valuable and if you can't pay attention to the road or cars near you, and can't speed up to the posted speed limit sign, then either practice better driving or get off the roads. I personally don't go around racing through the streets but for those that do, I agree that it is dangerous and those people should be jailed but for the most part, I've never seen anyone go above 40 on forest drive. The least the city could do is increase the trigger speed to 40 instead of 38 to ease the minds of those who drive at a reasonable speed and don't have the money to pay a ridiculous amount for a speeding fine.

Hi everyone, Our family is relocating to the Eastside from overseas at the end of December for a corporate transfer with Boeing. We have kids entering 4th and 7th grade and they will be starting school part-way through the year in January (all being well). Boeing is providing our corporate housing, and they’ve given us some flexibility on location, but because local districts don't allow routine school tours for prospective families, we have to choose our area "sight unseen." We are trying to decide between Bellevue (BSD), Issaquah (ISD), and Lake Washington (LWSD). We would love some candid feedback from parents in these districts: Mid-year transition: How welcoming are the schools for kids jumping in halfway through the academic year? Do they do a good job helping kids socially adapt? School Culture: How would you describe the general vibe of your district? (e.g., Is it ultra-competitive and academic-heavy, or more balanced with sports and outdoor community life?) Support for Transplants: Are there a lot of other relocation/international families in your neighborhood? For context, our kids are really into creative writing, art and design, history and STEM subjects, so a school with good programs in those areas would be amazing. If you have any specific neighborhood or school recommendations within these districts that you absolutely love, please let me know. Thank you so much for helping an anxious parent out!
