Hi all! First pregnancy and I've narrowed it down to Swedish First Hill vs UW Medical Center Northwest, and I'm torn. I'm leaning UW NW, their midwives and nurses get amazing reviews, and their intervention/C-section numbers are noticeably better than Swedish's for low-risk first births according to hca. My priorities are simple: clinic resources, staff who are kind, able to explain why they're recommending something and respect my wishes (hoping for a natural birth if possible). It's my first time so I don't know what I don't know. But: I live in Belltown with no car. Swedish is 10 min away; UW NW is up at N 115th, which means a trek for every prenatal visit plus the day-of trip. Also Swedish has the big Level IV NICU on-site, which is reassuring for worst-case scenarios. Complicating things - I had a bad experience at Swedish before (rude staff, misdiagnosed a fracture as a sprain), so I'm a little wary even though their birth center reviews are very positive. Anyone delivered at either this year? How was the staff about your birth preferences? Anyone done UW NW car-free from downtown? Would love your opinions, ty! :)

What do people think of this place? Particularly for private parties? Bonus points if you can comment on Ristorante Picolinos as well.

You’ve lived in Seattle for years, seen the highlights, been a local and a tourist. New or repeats, what are you hitting with one month left?

Hi all, I'll be visiting in early to mid October and would love to get a tattoo while there. Any recommendations for tattoo shop/artists? Preferably those that have experience tattooing color on darker skin tones? Line work is fine too though. Thanks!

I’m sorry I scared your John away but the way he situated his red truck was blocking the entire exit and I just wanted to get home. Can we just legalize prostitution so they can unionize, get proper healthcare, and a safe location to offer their services? The current situation is untenable.

TL;DR A McDonald's employee tried to give me a Diet Coke that another random customer sipped off who ordered a regular Coke and had it replaced. Gross. So, it's been a busy day working at home for me and I just didn't feel like cooking dinner. So I order on my McDonald's App and select to pick it up in their mobile order curbside pick-up lane. I get there, put the number and a reasonable 15 minutes later, a girl working there brings my food out. All good so far. They have a few orders and they give the order to the car next to me first. They hand her her food and a drink. She takes a sip and says, "I didn't order diet Coke." So, she hands her the regular Coke that's also on her tray. She then comes to my car, hands me my food and then tries to hand me the diet Coke the person in the car next to me took a sip off. I mean, who would do that??? That's just gross! I asked her if that was the same diet Coke the lady next to me sipped on and she said, "I'll get you another one." A few minutes later a different girl comes out and explains that the other girl didn't speak English well. I'm not sure what that has to do with anything, but that's what her reasoning was. It's Absolutely gross that this employee would ever consider giving a drink another customer sipped off to someone else.

If you're a walker/cyclist in Tacoma, what are the safest-feeling ways to get across the i5 east-west divide (especially between the footbridge on 37th and south to 512) not all sidewalks are created equal 😅
