Multiple homes will be participating so include this one in your route this weekend. Here's a link to the location in South Everett. https://maps.app.goo.gl/ysSUbW5Kd5JshThg6

Hi. I'm not sure why I'm making this post. Mainly to vent. I'm at the end of the line here. I know everyone here wants death to landlords, so, I dunno. Maybe sharing my story can help provide a different perspective? I'm an army vet that was stationed down in Tacoma at JBLM. I bought a townhouse with the VA loan and I thought life was good. I then took a job overseas back in 2024 and signed a lease with an older family that seemed pretty normal. 60 yo white Dad. 41 yo Asian mom + her kids 18 and 22. They passed screening with no issues and nothing came back on their background checks. We got a lease signed and everything was good for the first few months. Then, they stopped paying rent. Started claiming that they paid, or that there were technical issues with the payment portal, or issues with my bank being unable to receive payment. They started submitting forged and poorly edited documents and "receipts" of payment. They also had friends and associates calling me, pretending to be the "bank" to confirm that from their end, a wire transfer was made, so surely, the issue was on my bank's side. Everyone suggested I hire a lawyer, so I did. Of course, the tenants got assigned a free pro bono lawyer from the city / Housing Justice Project. 1 year later, the case is at Superior Court, but the case keeps getting extended or "continued" month after month without a hearing. Now we're up to the point where there is a school year eviction moratorium starting in 2 weeks and the earliest eviction possible would be June 2027 because the 18 yo kid is in high school. All the while, they've racked up over $40,000 in unpaid rent. I got laid off from my job overseas and have had to come back to the US in January of 2026 unemployed. I don't have a mountain of cash savings, so everything I had in savings has gone to paying the mortgage for some other people to live there. I'm completely zeroed out and have been couch surfing and living out of my car the past 6 months. Can't pay my lawyer anymore either so they withdrew from the case lol and I'm told "landlord bad. landlord evil" so I can't get any legal assistance from the housing justice project myself as a homeless vet. To rub salt on the wound, the "Tenants" are out here posting pics on social media dining at Michelin starred restaurants weekly and drive around in a Mercedes and a Range Rover. The property will be foreclosed on soon. My credit will be destroyed. And not sure what will happen to the tenants. Awesome. Anyway, thanks for stopping by. Wish you all the best.

I was thinking about joining and wanted to ask some questions of people who have been to events recently.

Any tattoo shops doing flash this weekend? And drop your favorite tattoo artists!

Hi there, so I'm finishing up my ADN at the local community college and will be going into a RN to BSN program once I start working. This path was easier for me since I really need to work once I am done with college. (I just want to leave the industry I'm currently working in). That being said which hospitals should I apply to because I'm very interested in NICU, but lots of them want a BSN and I guess even if I get one within two years after my ADN does it matter? Or should I just work my way do a BSN and forget about the ADN path. Please I need help and advice! Also my goal is to work at UW campus as well!

Does anyone know what the “incident” is that closed i5 tonight by the Tacoma dome??

Need to find a way down to Ashford, WA to drive back a climber on Sunday evening, whose car will already be there. Willing to compensate and can meet around Seattle area via metro. Have looked into cab services from SeaTac but running a bit more than I’d be like to pay.

I will be moving back to Puyallup soon, I have been running a small plumbing business in AZ for years. I am curious if anyone has input on plumbers in the area? have you had problems getting a plumber over for repairs or plumbing emergencies? Do you have a plumber you would call in the area with confidence you are in good hands? please share your experiences

I found a set of keys at the corner of 15th and 59th - if they're yours, please message me how many keys there are and what color the key ring is. (thanks to the commenter who told me to hide some details in my previous post!)

...unless we do something. This op-ed makes the case clearly and has the contact information of people who can change this: https://www.theurbanist.org/op-ed-how-pike-place-market-can-thrive-in-the-winter-without-car-traffic/ Who is with me? (The data says 98% of Seattlites are, so I'm guessing the rate is even higher on this subreddit)
