If you live in Burien, SeaTac, Des Moines, Normandy Park, Tukwila, South Seattle, Beacon Hill, Georgetown, South Park, or anywhere around Sea-Tac, I really think this is worth paying attention to. The Port of Seattle is planning a pretty massive expansion of the airport — 31 projects, including 19 new gates, more cargo capacity, and infrastructure to support a lot more flights and passengers. The Port has released its draft Environmental Impact Statement, but there are a lot of concerns about what it leaves out or minimizes, especially around noise, ultrafine particle pollution, truck traffic, development pressure, and the cumulative impact on communities that are already heavily affected by the airport. One thing that especially concerns me is that the Port is both pursuing the expansion and leading the environmental review of it. I only recently started really digging into this, and I honestly had no idea how big the plans were or how many surrounding neighborhoods all over the area could be affected. Public comments are open until tomorrow, August 20 at 5pm. If you live in one of these communities and care about air quality, noise, public health, traffic, housing, or how this area develops over the next several years, please consider submitting a comment. You do not need to be an expert or write anything fancy. Even a short comment asking for a more thorough and transparent review matters. No Added Harm has a lot of information broken down in a way that is easier to understand: NoAddedHarm.org ***As of 8/17 the comment page is down 🙄 so from the SEA-SAMP website: Comments may be submitted electronically to [ [email protected] ](mailto: [email protected] ) or on the Get Involved page.

Hey everyone! I just moved to Seattle and I’m trying to figure out where to rent, so I’d really appreciate recommendations from people who know these buildings/areas well. I’m mainly looking around SLU, Denny Triangle, Belltown, or nearby Capitol Hill. Proper 1BR, ideally 600+ sqft In-unit washer/dryer Real AC Modern, nice interiors Ideally around $2.2k–$2.6k, but I can stretch a little if it’s really worth it Walkable/lively area, but I’d still like it to be reasonably quiet at night Easy walk/commute to Denny Triangle Good natural light or a nice view would be a big plus Decent management/building reputation I’ve been looking at places like VIA6, JUXT, O2, etc., but there are honestly so many options that I’m getting a little lost. Would love to hear from anyone who currently lives or has lived in these buildings. Any places you’d strongly recommend, avoid, or specific units/floors/stacks that are especially good? Thanks!

Great new track from Squirrel Flower’s album out this Friday! Lakewood with a shout! “He said all trains end in Chicago But I don't know if that's true Don't you want a home in Lakewood? Back porch with a lakeside view”

Hey guys! I just wanted to let people know that if you vape to be checking your juices!!! I have 3 bottles that I’ve bought that are EXPIRED. One expired in 2023. I have called and let the shops know and they’re pulling and doing inventory on their items and switching manufacturers. I just wanted to put out a PSA because this is pretty serious and can cause harm. I know it doesn’t say “EXP” but juice shelf life is 1-2 years from MFG. Items being sold after BB date is also considered expired and should’ve been pulled by stores/not sold by the depot as it breaches consumer warranty and puts them at risk.

Hey everyone, This guy bolted into our building’s garage while another tenant was driving out and stole my partner’s bike. Our concierge was notified and tried to stop him but he flashed a knife at them. The police were called but it was too late; he was able to escape the garage on a different level through a stairwell. Please keep an eye out! I feel so sad for my partner because he spent a long time putting the it all together from just the frame. It is truly one of a kind. Yellow Cotic bike with lots of pink accents - handlebars, bottle cage, pedals, and a sprinkle donut valve cover.

Best place to donate clothes and shoes? Used but in good condition. And best place to recycle shoes too beat to donate? Thanks!

Ive been craving a good hojicha latte lately but im not sure where to go and dont want to waste money trying to find one that isn't mediocre. Do you have any recommendations for cafes that have good hojicha?

We can disagree on a lot of things, but can we all agree that turning our state of the art library into an injection site/homeless shelter is not a good thing?

I’m an avid swimmer who just moved to Seattle. I’m looking for pools with the most availability to lap swim (preferably a short drive from Fremont). I work 8am-5pm. All of the community pools have terrible hours. Others require lane reservations that book up quickly or split lane swimming where you end up waiting forever for a spot to open up. Please help! Thanks!

Mitch at Greener Cleaner was great in Dispatch and delivered on our emergency need as promised! The tech Robert turned out to be the owner and got our AC back up in under 60 Minutes! Hot August nights are no fun with no AC in Seattle.
