I feel like we should have them by now? Got the voter’s pamphlet days ago. Maybe I’m just overly eager to complete and return it. Anyone received theirs?

Come play have fun open to all if u have questions let me know

I am not picky. Pretty much like all food. And like strong coffee, nothing super sweet. Will be living in bellevue but exploring seattle on days off.

Hi all, my sister is hospitalized indefinitely on Swedish as she awaits a new addition to their family. She's had some visitors but our family isn't from Washington and so this has been limited. I'm wondering if there are any recommendations on activities or services that I can order to be "delivered" to her (manicure, massage, lesson of some sort, art/craft, someone who can teach her how to knit, best foods, etc.) I don't know. She's stable but I'm worried about her and want her to have some more pleasant times as well. Any and all recommendations are welcome (obviously will ask her and her medical team to ensure she's allowed). Thanks in advance.

Anyone want four free tickets to the UW game tonight? I can transfer them to you.

Pick your favorite: coffee shops, arcades, bars, bowling alleys, board game cafes... This state and our area, as much as we love them, make the economics of these places 100% unworkable. They simply can't survive the real estate costs, supply costs, utilities, and taxes. And yet they would create real, knock on benefits and value in our lives. Not just getting us off our phones but creating new social networks - the real kind! - and driving new traffic to existing businesses (how many of you spend time at that Gilman Corner complex... beyond Issaquah Coffee?). Would this be so crazy?

Not only cool for this badass woman, but for the retro view of Tacoma.

hello, i’m back requesting a follow up to an earlier post. i’ve been unable to convince the person im taking to go pretty much anywhere other than crab pot. i really need something that’s the same tourist-style attraction but food that’s better than sysco. i’ve been looking at happy crab in ballard and it seems promising. is that probably my best option? for this weekend so ideally somewhere with a ~1 hour or less walk up or open reservations.

Hello all, My wife and I are coming to town for the last week of October for some family stuff. We will have a few days to ourselves and a rental car, and will be bringing backpacking gear. Any recommendations on places to go for 1-2 nights near Seattle for cool scenery and back country camping/hiking? Asking here for specific weather/condition info too, as we are from the east coast. We don’t necessarily need to do a ton of mileage, mainly just want cool views and maybe fall colors if there are any left by then. Yellow Aster Butte was recommended and we might check that out, but looking for other good options too. Thanks for any help and inspo!

Could be anything. Easy parking, a quiet trail, a grocery store that isn’t annoying, a coffee spot nearby, or a commute that doesn’t ruin your mood. Feels like the longer you’re here, the more those little things start to matter. What’s yours?
