I’m visiting Seattle tomorrow and have never been. I’ll have most of the day tomorrow beginning around 1pm for myself. Im here for work so I’ll have free mornings before 12pm on Wednesday and Thursday as well. what should I do?? I would love to take advantage of the nature/fall vibe if that’s easily accessible. I’m staying near belltown/downtown. I would love any recommendations on how to spend my day, where to eat, how to get around. I want to make the most of my short time here!

Their was store on 1st ave that used to sell passport photos and they would also make fake id. I got my fake ID there. I used to go to a store in the mt Baker area named RIPS. I would buy beer from there. This was 30 years ago. Did you have a fake ID? What did you use it for?

Hi everyone! My fiancée and I are looking for a photographer for a last-minute engagement photoshoot in a forest near Seattle. Availability: * Friday, October 23 — afternoon * Saturday, October 24 — morning * Sunday, October 25 — flexible timing Location: Flexible! We’re open to beautiful forest locations around Seattle and the surrounding areas, and we’re willing to drive for the right spot. We are not from here but know it’s a beautiful place for engagement photos. Style: We’re dreaming of a romantic, moody, dark, forest aesthetic — trees, deep greens, natural light, and intimate, romantic shots. Session: 1-2 hours We’d love to find someone with an opening on any of these dates, or someone who may have had a last-minute cancellation! If you’re a photographer who might be available, I’d love to connect. We’d also really appreciate any recommendations or tags for photographers who specialize in this kind of moody, romantic PNW style! Thank you so much! ❤️💍🌲

I realized this while walking with a friend who moved here recently. We were crossing an intersection and I casually complained that the signal timing there is terrible because drivers turning right never get a clean window between pedestrians and cross traffic. He looked at me and said, “Why do you know that?” Fair question. I have no background in transportation, construction, planning or anything remotely useful. Yet after living here long enough I apparently have opinions about curb design. I know which intersections become chaos if one person blocks the box. I notice when a bus stop is placed ten feet away from where it would make more sense. I can tell you which grocery store parking lot has an entrance designed by somebody who hated humanity. I've discussed bridge maintenance with people who, like me, could not identify a structural beam if one fell on us. And Seattle seems to do this to everyone. Mention a new apartment building and somebody suddenly has thoughts about setbacks and ground-floor retail. Mention traffic and your accountant becomes a transit planner. Put up a temporary lane closure and within six hours half the neighborhood has developed an alternative traffic-control plan. The funniest part is how quickly it happens. New arrivals are still asking where to get good teriyaki. Two years later they're standing on a corner saying, “This intersection really needs a protected left.” Maybe every city does this, but Seattle feels particularly good at turning ordinary residents into extremely confident unpaid consultants for SDOT. What's the most absurdly specific Seattle infrastructure opinion you've somehow acquired?

Is it just me or did anyone hear what sounded like multiple shots being fired around the Queen Anne Ave N / Mercer St area? It sounded rapid...one after the other. I might be hearing things after last night's shooting.

is there anywhere i can order delivery pho from after midnight?

Hi everyone! My partner and I are in the process of replacing our current at home coffee setup. What we have works for us now, but we’re wanting to step up our game a little bit, and will be investing in a nice espresso machine. The only problem is that we have different tastes and preferences in roasts and flavor profiles. Where can we go in or around Seattle that will be somewhat of a coffee taste tour/taste test, ideally somewhere that sells whole beans for the brews they are sampling, ideally from local roasters (bonus points if they are women/POC owned and/or operated) He has lived here for ~10 years, and I’ve lived here for around ~6 years, and we currently live in Columbia City. We are more than comfortable traveling outside of the city proper if need be. Thank y’all for any suggestions you have to throw our way!

I lost my wallet on a 4 line bus today. If anyone happens to have picked it up, it is a white wallet. Please DM me my first name as it appears on my ID and the color my hair is in my card photo. I've already made an online report to King County Metro and will call them on Tuesday (they are closed tomorrow). I'm posting here in case a good Samaritan picked it up. Really not looking forward to the hassle of having to replace all my cards since there's a fair chance it's just gone :/

Let me preface this by saying I know the coffee at Dutch Bros (and probably Grounds as well? Idk their reputation) is not on par with the quality of coffee that Seattle is known for, but sugary drinks with fun seasonal flavors are my guilty pleasure. Unfortunately I'm a sick degenerate in the coffee capital of the US. Anyways I go to the Grounds on Aurora sometimes for their lotus drinks, but I'm looking for places closer to the Green Lake/Fremont/downtown area — I’m probably blind but I haven’t yet noticed a coffee stand west of I-5 between Green Lake and downtown.

I'm heading to Mason County near Shelton to help my dad out due to some medical stuff he's going through. I just finished selling my business of 17 years across the country and don't plan to start another. I started it out of high school so I have no degree. Luckily have about 5 years of savings to dick around on after i pick up a cheap house near him and won't have a house payment, so I'm ready for a restart. What are some industries I could get into around mason county without a degree and work my way up in? I really want something based in the woods if I'm going to live in the woods. It's always been a dream of mine to ditch the insanity of the city and live with nature. I don't need a lot of pay.
