Do any of you have a recommendation for a door to door transport service that includes an escort to the waiting area. This would be for an elderly person who uses a walker. A Friendly and patient person to walk with and wait through Dr. visits is needed.

Although I am a longtime Houston Rockets fan, I have created and will dedicate this video to every single Seattle SuperSonics alumni, fans from the Emerald City of Seattle, Washington, and Sonics fans all over the world. The material covers multiple spectacular moments in the team’s original history, from their 1979 NBA Championship to the 1996 Western Conference Championship team (who played the 72-10 Chicago Bulls in the 1996 NBA Finals) to their Hall of Fame and All-Star players and coaches, which include: Shawn Kemp; Gary Payton; Nate McMillan; Detlef Schrempf; Kevin Durant; Ray Allen; Sam Perkins; Gus Williams (RIP); Dennis Johnson (RIP); “Downtown” Freddie Brown; Jack Sikma; Brent Barry; Desmond Mason; Dale Ellis; Ricky Pierce; Tom Chambers; “The X-Man” Xavier McDaniel; Shammond Williams; Rashard Lewis; Vin Baker; Luke Ridnour; Jeff Green; Dana Barros; Eddie Johnson; Derrick McKey; Michael Cage; Benoit Benjamin; Chris Wilcox; Squatch the Sonics Mascot; and Head Coaches George Karl, Lenny Wilkens (RIP), and Bernie Bickerstaff. I hope that this will either bring back great memories or introduce you to the team. I can’t wait for the Sonics to return in a few years - it will be a glorious day. —————— HISTORY: During the second half of the 1992-1993 season, the Sonics organization handpicked, mixed, and introduced new music for the Sonics’s player starting lineups, which featured Deep Purple’s “Knocking at Your Back Door” and Pink Floyd’s “Run Like Hell.” It was played at the Seattle Center Coliseum (which later became the world-renowned KeyArena and now, the Climate Pledge Arena) and the Tacoma Dome (when the Seattle Center Coliseum’s renovation into KeyArena from 1994 to 1995). Then, when the Sonics returned to the Seattle Center Coliseum (then the new KeyArena) for the start of the 1995-96 season, the team wanted a longer starting lineups introduction with an opening intro video that starts with a storm brewing over Downtown Seattle, followed a lightning strike hits the city’s icon, the Space Needle, which deflects the lightning to the roof of KeyArena, which revealed the Seattle SuperSonics logo from 1995 to 2001. This intro video - also used as the opening intro of the Sonics’ home TV broadcast during the 1995-96 season - was displayed on the Jumbotron of KeyArena. Once this video ends with the Sonics' logo, Squatch the Sonics Mascot (wearing a safety harness) will make his entrance from the ceiling to the court floor, which will led to the introduction of the starting lineups, announced by Mr. Jim Graci, who was the Public Address Announcer for the Sonics. Although this introduction music lasted for a few seasons, it still echoes among many generations of Supersonics fans. —————— HOW I MADE IT: Back in 2019, I recreated the Sonics’ starting lineups song (which I mentioned previously in the History section), then I uploaded it in a video which has widely been received by countless viewers. LINK: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xbfK0lzQ6-o Between 2022 and 2023, I wanted to recreate the 1995-96 intro, so I sampled audio from Game 7 of the 1996 Western Conference Finals, specifically the moment when the Sonics’ downtown Seattle skyline video appears before of the Sonics starting lineups. I learned that there was a sound effect, which sounded like the THX Ltd’s Deep Note trailer sound, that was used as a transition from the downtown Seattle skyline video to the starting lineup song. This was also the moment that Squatch the Mascot made his entrance from the ceiling to the court. After I combined everything together with the audio that created in 2019, I had initial thoughts of creating a video to honor the 1995-96 team (who were famously introduced with this music) either by using pictures or highlights from that season, but due to the length of the song being too short, I decided not to make the video. Then, in March 2026, after seeing the news of the NBA expanding to cities (such as Seattle and Las Vegas) and someone’s negative comment on my original 2019 video, I decided to not only create a new version of the 1995-96 intro (that is much cleaner and of high quality), but also a longer version for a compilation video. I removed some vocals, rearranged and extended a few sections of the song. In addition, I found the Jumbotron video of the Seattle skyline in a game from the 1995-96 season on YouTube. I did my best to match some of the highlights with the beat of the song. I did my best to match some of the highlights with the beat of the song. Work on this project took place on different dates: The music edits were completed on March 27, 2026, while the video editing was completed on August 16, 2026. —————— CREDIT: All rights to the photo and video sources belong to the National Basketball Association (NBA), Seattle Supersonics, the National Broadcasting Company (NBC), NBC Sports, the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame, and the TV stations KIRO-TV (Channel 7), KING-TV (Channel 5), and KSTW (Channel 11).

I was assaulted 10 days ago. I need to get std testing but im unsure where to go. I would rather pay cash and not go through insurance. I'm overwhelmed at the options. Can anyone make any suggestions? Or how long it would take to get the results. Thank you in advance.

I have a large appliance I need to get rid of. It's already in my car, so I only need help at the drop off. Is that something the workers help with, or should I bring a friend?

Hello all, I will be going to a concert at tmobile park at the end of the month. I understand the bag policy loud and clear in terms of sizing. Its a little odd and strict compared to all of the other baseball stadiums I've been to. My question is, it states that "wallets and small clutches" within sizing is ok. What about bags within the 4.5x6.5?? I have a pretty small fanny pack I use to carry my phone, keys and inhaler. I either wear it as a crossbody or a belt, is that going to be a problem because its not a wallet or clutch??? Everything Im reading is stressing me out abt their policy lol Thanks!

Not sure if this is the way to go but I figured I try. Newish to Seattle and needing a dog sitter for the first time. Had a very reliable one that I would use all the time where I’m from and looking for that here now. I have a 75 pound lab/sheppard mix named Jackson. Hes not dog friendly and can be hit or miss with guys. Looking for a woman to watch him for a a few days. A back yard would be awesome but not needed. Don’t wanna sound like one of those “he’s a sweetheart I swear” but he’s a great house dog. Just not great with other animals.

Hey everyone, I recently relocated to the Seattle area and am looking to join a group working through the Artist's Way together. I've tried doing it solo a couple of times and fell off a few weeks in, would love some external accountability and community. Any recommendations for places to look for groups like this/does anyone have an existing one I could join starting from week 1?

Hey!! All my friends are employed ( yay for them, boo for me) and I am getting tired of applying to jobs alone. I want to have a meetup day during m-f with some other unemployed people. I want it to happen consistently and I think we should cycle (either during each meetup or every other meetup) between job search activities (applying to jobs together + looking over resumes, helping with mock interviews) and fun things like paddleboarding, museum days, short hikes when we get more comfortable as a group etc. If anyone is interested, lmk! I will make a group chat :)

I will be traveling to Seattle (from Boston) for a concert and then doing a camping trip through ONP and Mount Rainer. We are bringing as much as we can pack (tent, lights, linens, etc), and plan to rent/buy the rest when we land in Seattle. During my previous visits, I’ve been able to have local friends store my gear, but they don’t live in the area anymore. Is there some place in or around Seattle where they will accept gently used camping gear? Not really looking to make money, just donate.

As the title says. I paid for my 2 hour parking and I got a parking ticket literally 4 minutes after my parking expired. Can I fight this?
