Spent yesterday doing a causal wander around university district to admire the start of the season change. Did not disappoint

Anybody know of indoor basketball courts that are open till 9pm or 10pm on weekends and other days?

Is there a movie theater stocking the Digger popcorn bucket?

I’ve decided the rural life is really not for me. I’m hoping to move to Tacoma this summer (assuming I can find a teaching job?) from the upper peninsula and want to check out some of the stuff it has to offer. What neighborhoods/ places should I check out? Where do a lot of the youngish (early/mid 30s) people hang out? What’s the overall vibe in the city?

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?
