Saw they are doing construction on East hill by where YMCA and Vibes apartments are. I have Xfinity and have been looking to switch potentially. Does anyone here have fiber internet and can speak to the price and reliability?
I’m an artist and I’d really love to open an anime artist and stationery store. Imagine artist alley, but it’s a store! The space would feature a thoughtful selection of goods from independent U.S. artists, especially local artists. I’d also like to host art meetups, trinket trades, journaling meetups and more. I’m actually in talks for a space downtown on Union and 4th ave! If this idea excites you: what would make you go out of your way to visit? Is there any local artist you want to see here? What kind of events / meetups would you be interested in?
Does anyone know where I can get wooden figurines repaired? I know it appears a simple fix but these are important to our family and I don't have experience in this kind of repair. Thanks in advance!!
Is this the new norm here or a one off? Any similar experiences? Left an unease feeling in my head as I didn't have my pepper spray on me. Have been here 8 years, the first time experiencing this. Wanted to learn about how the Redmond populus is feeling in general.
Do people not do the little “thank you” wave anymore when crossing in front of a car in a parking lot? Maybe I’m just getting old, but I swear this used to be a really common courtesy. Someone stops and lets you cross, you give them a quick wave or nod, and everybody goes on with their day. It takes half a second, but it’s just a nice little acknowledgment between two strangers. Lately, especially since COVID, I feel like I hardly ever see it anymore. People just walk out in front of you without even looking up, like you and your car don’t exist. And yes, I already know someone is going to say, “Pedestrians have the right of way. Why should I thank someone for doing what they’re supposed to do?” That’s not really the point. Holding a door for someone, saying thank you to a cashier, or waving when somebody lets you merge are all little things nobody has to do either. It’s just basic courtesy. Maybe I’m imagining it, but it feels like those tiny interactions between strangers have disappeared a lot over the last few years. Everyone seems a little more wrapped up in their own world and a little less friendly toward each other. Anyone else notice this, or am I officially entering the “back in my day” era? 😂
What are some realistic options for a touch up job on a car? It's just some random dings, and it's not a huge deal, but I wonder if this is something that people do. Is it easy to match paint, touch up, and move on? Or is this a huge ordeal? Is this a reasonable thing to look at from someone? Or is it better to go with a full autobody shop that will paint the entire door? It's super excessive, and I have kids, so the likelihood that I see damage again is pretty high.
I'm so tired of seeing these innocent creatures/dogs that are nowhere near thriving, with homeless and/or houseless and/or addicts and/or self-concerned people. I know that they are more often loved, but they can be loved, and also by no means thriving– and you can *often* see with your own eyes, dogs with people on the street, that are not the #1 priority, ie laying there in the hot sun, with no one paying attention to getting them to a shady spot, curled up into a tight ball, no water near them, etc. I wish I could just offer them $40 for said dog(s) and get them real homes where they can be not burning up, have water always, food always, and– be seen by a vet. It's depressing af. Sometimes I just absolutely hate that just about anybody can acquire a dog/animal, without any proof of ability to care for them. Really this includes shxtty people who DO have homes and a means, includes people in any city, and wasn't solely an attack on people who are homeless, but literally anyone can get a dog/animal and I hate it.
A pro-Palestinian protest is being organized tonight outside Island Synagogue on Mercer Island, where American Jewish author Ira Kohler is scheduled to speak about his experience serving in the IDF during the Israel-Hamas war. The organizers’ flyer says “GENOCIDERS OUT OF SEATTLE,” calls Zionists “war criminals,” and tells people to bring flags, signs and noisemakers. Most disturbing is the large inverted red triangle placed prominently beside Kohler’s photo. Hamas’s military wing has used that symbol in propaganda videos to mark Israeli targets before showing attacks on them. So this isn’t just generic Palestinian imagery. They used a symbol associated with marking targets on a flyer naming a specific Jewish speaker, advertising the synagogue hosting him, and encouraging people to show up there. The event had already relocated once because of safety concerns. Whatever your position on Israel or the war, that combination of imagery, rhetoric and targeting of a synagogue-hosted event is deeply disturbing. (As an aside, I met Andy Ngo at his home in London last year and he very graciously served me and my relative afternoon tea. He is a lovely person.)
Any recs on a guided, one day tour to Diablo Lake departing from Seattle Downtown?
Former Hello Cupcake spot. Looks like the city permitting is showing Musashi. Not sure of the opening date, but looks like pretty soon.
