I woke up to a burst pipe in my basement. Water is everywhere. I have turned off the water main but I have no idea what to do next. I need to get the water out and dry everything properly to prevent mold. I have never dealt with something like this before. I do not know if I should call a general contractor or a specialized water damage company. I also need to figure out how to deal with my insurance. Has anyone been through this? What is the first step? Who should I call for help in the Seattle area? I am feeling pretty stressed about it.

This happened in my building last night. New property management started in May and have yet to send out an email introducing themselves, share their plans for the building, or provide meaningful responses to many resident concerns. We have been sharing security concerns with for months, with multiple breaches and break-ins happening in recent weeks. This incident supersedes anything M-Street residents have experienced recently and is heartbreaking for our neighbor and frightening the rest of us.

This might be a long shot, but last night my friend took a walk (see attached route) and lost their keys somewhere along the way. We walked the entire route last night trying to find them, but it was already pretty dark, so we weren't able to locate them. I'm planning to go out today to search in the daylight, but in the meantime, if your daily walk crosses any part of the path above, could you keep an eye out for the keys? The housing for the key is blue with a string of colorful beads attached.

I teach in Seattle colleges and I can tell you that plenty of our kids can’t write a complete sentence. I suspect plenty of them struggle with reading, too. Lots of people blame the pandemic for these problems but I would point towards phones, devices, and ever-creeping tech in the classroom as the real culprit. Adding AI to the classroom will achieve only one outcome: our kids will lose their critical thinking and information literacy skills and AI companies will mine our children for training data. No educator who actually understands this reality and the technology would be advocating for this. The leadership of SPS should be ashamed.

To date, 23 barista apprentices have completed the program, and several have become shift leads and general managers at their two current locations. For the new Central District location, all five incoming personnel completed the program, including their general manager. The intersection at 23rd and Jackson Street has recently experienced several closures. The Walgreens closed in May, and the Amazon Fresh shuttered in February. ~ Two national chains walked off that corner this year. The outfit moving in trains kids out of foster care and shelters to run it.

I'll be living in my car until it gets repo'd. What experience do you have? Tips/tricks/places to find resources etc. I can drain my meager 401k to pad myself a few grand, but thats it.

Hi all - is anyone currently/previously using BH Totem Lake for their infant classroom? How is your experience? Was your kid sick often? Are you happy with the level of care your baby received?

Specifically in the Lynnwood and Everett areas, I work late hours and don’t have a lot of friends who also work those hours. There’s nothing to do at 11pm, midnight or so when I want to unwind so I’ve just become a homebody. I know that there has to be other people with late hours nearby, hospital staff, Boeing factory workers, people in the events industry, etc

Hey guys I’m relocating to Seattle in about two weeks for work around the U-district and I want to find the best e-bike for work and errands. Unfortunately I’m going to be leaving my car behind and this will be my first time in a city where public transport is more common.

I took a ferry today, and I’m still recovering from the emotional whiplash I experienced. It’s hard to talk smack on the ferries, but it is unavoidable. The people have a right to know. As I went to grab a pretzel, I noticed a lovely display of Ferry Swag. I’ve been pining for one of the ferry-shaped fried food and dip thingys! But then, I saw it: a 20 ounce Yeti tumbler, engraved with images and names of each ferry. I had to have it. I passed on the snack boat because, according to the price list, I was about to drop $24 on a tumbler. My pretzel and tumbler totaled $84 and change. I was shocked. The cashier showed me the price in their system. They hadn’t updated the price list that customers see. The 10 ounce version is also $69.99. I went from being an incredibly proud almost-owner of the best Diet Coke cup ever to utter despair in mere seconds. Obviously, I did not buy the tumbler. And forgot to get a food boat bc I was so shocked. So…has anyone bought the $70 cup? Or bought it for less? Is it really $70, or was the system glitching? I can’t stop thinking about how beautiful it was. [Picture of Yeti, who jumped into shotgun while I was attempting to acquire Yeti x WSF swag. As you can see, he wasn’t happy either. He demands a discount on a Yeti products and ferry shaped dog treats.]
