I’m 21 and I really want to go trick-or-treating this Halloween 😭I didn’t grow up in the US, so it was never something I got to experience as a kid, and I’ve always wanted to do it at least once I know trick-or-treating is mostly for kids, so I don’t want to make anyone uncomfortable or take away from them. Are there any neighborhoods/areas in Seattle where people wouldn’t mind adults trick-or-treating too? Or any Halloween events that have actual trick-or-treating for adults? Also, if any other adults have gone trick-or-treating in Seattle, did people care? I’m fully willing to put effort into the costume lol.

Next week, a group of volunteers will clean up Ballard Commons Park in honor of Jimothy. The cleanup will be followed by a screening of Despicable Me, which is part of the Ballard Alliance's summer outdoor movie series.

Hi! Just moved here from the Midwest - was wondering if there are any vets / places that offer dental cleaning for dogs for $500 or around that? Most quotes I'm getting are $1k+ I have a 7 year old maltese and also need the bordetella vaccine (perferably under $30)

I was initially excited to see Raindrop Creamery open on NE 65th St, in the space previously occupied by JuneBaby / Lucinda Grain Bar. Looking through their website , I noticed a photo of Edouardo Jordan on the About page, though his name isn't listed there. It appears only once on the FAQ page. There don't appear to have been any press releases or marketing about the new venture. Jordan was previously a highly acclaimed restauranteur whose restaurants closed after he was accused of groping, unwanted sexual advances, and verbal sexual harassment by 15 former female employees.

Hello, I have always wanted to try a pawpaw but being in Seattle i have not had the chance. Is there any places where I can purchase some? Thanks in advance.

So I've been here for about 6 years now...I've had my problems still do and definitely don't wanna talk about that that's a me thing lol but I've been wondering how do people make friends up here and if so does that make me weird for just wanting to get out or take time to talk and get out? I have zero social skills and no filter 😭 two kids going into school again and a child cause I decided to start over again 😂 should have I tried harder to get out cause I've been busy obviously 😆 but I also felt like I failed myself sorta in a way🤷🏽‍♀️

I’m in my mid-20s, originally from the Southeast, with time spent in Florida and Tennessee. I’m currently in a PhD program at a large state university in the South, in earth/space science, and I’m starting to plan for life after school. I’m looking forward to the possibility of moving to the Seattle area, and I’d like input on what teaching or educational roles are like there. Mainly the financial side and educational policy, but I’m open to hearing anything about life as a teacher in the area. From my experience, the South is notoriously difficult for people in education: low pay in most places, and heavy state and political influence in the classroom. I’ve taught for over three years as part of my graduate school experience, and I genuinely enjoy it and find it meaningful. When I started my PhD, I was undecided between academia and industry, but the longer I’ve progressed, the more I’ve come to think an educational role would be a great fit, whether that’s in a position like high school science teacher or a community college / college lecturer. For these reasons, I’d appreciate hearing from anyone with experience: what you like, what you don’t, and what you’d change.

Hi all! If you're looking to find a welcoming group of folks who like to get together, hang out, and play games, consider joining us at Dystopian Brewing * this Thursday (8/20), at 6pm! This will be my monthly post reminding people that yes, community exists, and you are welcome to join us! Basically, what happens? Members of the community bring their own games. We share them, our only ask is that you try to respect them and try to put them back where you got them :) Any big games usually start between 6-7 since that makes it substantially more likely we'll finish them, but other new games start throughout the night. Whenever one game wraps up, people will shuffle around to find another. It's a great way to meet new people (I moved here two years ago and have made many new friends through this group!) and in my opinion it is a diverse and affirming crowd, we try very hard to welcome newcomers, and if you're feeling shy don't feel bad messaging me! I can help you find a group to start in with and introduce you; it's totally fine! I'm a smallish redhead and I'll probably be in a cat shirt. You can't miss me. ---- Some FAQs: Food? The space allows you to bring your own food in. Please be kind and clean up any mess. Nonalcoholic options? Yes, they carry NA beers and some sodas, if I remember correctly (I'll double check this week for a better answer next time). Minors? Not explictly disallowed, I believe the space allows minors. However, we don't shy away from adult topics in our conversations and you may wish to attend without a minor first to evaluate suitability. Ages? Most of us are late 20's and up. We're primarily people in our 30s but we have a large age range and I am not going to guess at the age of our oldest members :P Type of games : There's no snobbishness here, play what you like. Anything from light party games to mid-heavy-weights (we still gotta finish before they close at 10). Want to play word games and just drink and hang out? You can! Want to play something that hurts your brain, and swap to something else every week? YOU CAN! And you can definitely find people to set up longer games with on the weekends, if that's your jam. How often? I'll probably post monthly, but this happens weekly ; the only times we've skipped in recent memory have been when Thursday was Thanksgiving or Christmas. ---- * After a lengthy period of discussion and a group vote, the Thursday board game crew has decided our "home" will be Dystopian Brewing for the foreseeable future. Many thanks to the other suggestions we've seen posed--as a group, we discussed our priorities & needs and arrived at this decision with a strong majority vote after narrowing down between 20+ venues in town.

Anyone equipped to try to save a dying baby squirrel in West Queen Anne? Or is there someone to call that can help? It’s been 24 hours and it’s in the same spot. It was really struggling yesterday (trying to crawl but couldn’t and breathing very fast) and this morning it’s in the same spot but seems to be ‘sleeping’ - very very low infrequent breaths.
