I’ve been looking around but i cant find any stores near me with any good boxing gloves. I’ve only seen Dick’s Sportings and Big 5 and there gloves are not the best. Does anyone have recommendations preferably around Everett/Mill Creek area?

Hello, I have been trying to learn how to crochet online but it isn't clicking. Are there in-person crochet lessons in White Center (preferred) or West Seattle? I live in Highland Park.

I've lived here for a few years and somehow only recently figured out how useful the public stairways actually are. I was walking from Eastlake up toward Capitol Hill to meet a friend. My phone gave me a route that involved going around a bunch of blocks, but I noticed a staircase heading straight up the hill. The Howe Street stairs. I thought, great, a shortcut. About halfway up I was reconsidering several life decisions, but I did eventually make it to the top. And it got me wondering how many other perfectly useful pedestrian connections I've walked past without noticing. Turns out Seattle has hundreds of these things. Some are obvious, but others look like private walkways between houses. I've definitely passed a few without realizing they were public. What's weird to me is that we spend so much time talking about how to make Seattle more walkable, yet there's this entire network of existing pedestrian infrastructure that feels almost invisible unless you already know where to look. Yes, there are dedicated maps and guides. But I'm talking about ordinary people trying to walk somewhere without researching the history of every hillside first. A little sign at the entrance, better integration with walking directions, maybe some information about how steep the stairs are. Nothing particularly revolutionary. And with the wet season coming, keeping them clear of leaves and moss seems pretty important too. I'm not suggesting everyone should be sent up 300 steps instead of taking an accessible route. Quite the opposite. A decent walking map should tell you what you're getting into before you commit. But it seems ridiculous that these shortcuts exist and the most reliable way to discover some of them is having a neighbor tell you about them. Anyone have a staircase in their neighborhood that completely changed how they get around? Also, whoever designed the Howe Street stairs clearly had a personal disagreement with human knees.

I love the tiny little flower shaped chickpea cookies (nokhodchi). They are the best thing ever with a cup of coffee in the morning. Like a decade ago there was a vegan coffee shop in the u district that used to make them in-house, but they’ve been gone for a while now. I get them at Oskoo market in Bellevue, but the ones they had are packaged and made in California. Does anyone know of a market that makes them in the greater Seattle area? Thanks!

It Oktoberfest in Leavenworth worth going? I saw it goes from noon to midnight. Is it less family friendly at night?

Hi, I don’t want to dox myself so I won’t share the details of which street it was or which neighborhood this happened in. I work at a small business and we don’t have a parking lot so we have to parallel park on the nearby street. This street is where we tell our customers to park, and the residents of the nearby homes/apartments also park there, so parking is in high demand and it can feel a little congested at certain parts of the street, but for years I’ve never had any issue with parking there. There are no signs, no red curb, absolutely zero indication that we can’t park there. Yesterday, October 9th, every single person on the street got a parking ticket. The really weird thing is, from discussing it with my coworkers, we all got tickets for different reasons. I got a ticket for expired tabs, stating they expired 06/2025, but my tabs don’t expire until 04/2027. It seems unlikely that could have been a typo on the officer’s part. My ticket didn’t even mention I’m also in trouble for parking there, just mentioned the tabs. My coworker, on the other hand, I think mentioned their ticket did directly mention they can’t park there. I know there can be cases where someone complains about congestion on a street and police come and ticket anyone there to clear it out, and they’ll give you infractions for anything they can think of since it’s not technically illegal to park there. But they didn’t even bother to ticket me for anything concrete? My tabs are displayed perfectly fine, and I always renew my registration in April every year. I'm not sure where they got June from. I hate it but I come from far away for work and public transport is not reliable enough for me to take it every day. We live in a car centric country, you can’t just ticket cars for bogus reasons and expect them to disappear. I ruled out that the ticket could be fraudulent, the number on the ticket is the correct Seattle Municipal Court number and the rest of it looks legit. Obviously I’m going to contest the ticket. I’m fairly young and I’m just confused how this can happen. If anyone more knowledgeable than me knows what the deal is, I’d appreciate any help clearing up my confusion. Mods, if anything in this post is against the rules feel free to remove.

I landed an interview for a Transit Operator with Metro! If anyone here works for Metro, or has any insight; what should i expect? How is the hiring process here? Should i keep my hopes up? Not sure how easy it is to land an interview with Metro here. I previously worked for UPS for 10 years so i have experience with bigger vehicles. I will be coming from out of state for this interview. (Plan on moving here, but looking for a job first)

Scrutiny of Senn stems from the searing resignation letter from the head of the agency's equity office and a complaint to the state Human Rights Commission from a former assistant secretary who said she was unfairly demoted. "It's been painfully clear that equity is NOT embodied here, neither are the operating principles by leadership at the highest echelon," wrote Colemon on Sept. 9 after serving nine months as director of the equity office. Colemon cited, for example, that an employee had repeatedly been called the N-word in the workplace, but the staff member's supervisor said to "suck it up." ~ The department runs child welfare, juvenile detention, and child care for low income families. An oversight board member had to raise this at a public meeting, because the agency's own equity office is where the complaint started and nine months was all it lasted.

Hey, I just had a lady reach out to me recently about a job assisting her with her dating business in Seattle. She seems very unorganized, showing signs of hyper criticism, micro managing & gaslighting. I just ran into someone who has worked for her and confirm a horrible experience with her of trying not to pay for work done by criticizing and low balling. Any of you guys had any experience this?
