I spent the last few weeks looking into what’s being sold at gas stations and smoke shops around the South Sound, and one thing surprised me. There’s no state law setting a minimum age to buy kratom or 7-OH. Lots of shops card on their own, but nothing requires it. Three bills to set the age at 21 all died in Olympia this year. 7-OH is the one that worries me most. It’s a concentrated opioid-like compound, much stronger than plain kratom leaf, and the DEA only started the process to schedule it this month. Health officials in other states have also found it hidden, unlabeled, in products sold as “cat’s claw.” I’m not arguing to take kratom away from adults. I’d just like to see an age limit and honest labels. Curious if other parents here knew this, or if you’ve seen shops in town that don’t card. I wrote up everything I found, with sources, here if anyone wants the details: https://ewyattmendel.substack.com/p/the-systemic-poisoning-of-our-youth?r=8wwcsh&utm_campaign=post-expanded-share&utm_medium=web Have your kids or their friends mentioned kratom or 7-OH? I’m curious how common it is at the high schools? Should Washington set an age limit of 21, like it does for tobacco and vapes? Or would that just push it underground? Have you seen shops in town that sell it without carding?

What do you all think of this? Surveillance shows this doctor getting to his United gate at ~10:42-10:43 p.m., with boarding supposed to close at 10:45. The flight was scheduled for departure at 11 p.m. He says the agent saw him and shut the door. There’s also a photo of the gate monitor still showing boarding underway. If you pause the video, there’s a letter from United saying he couldn’t travel because of “operational disruptions beyond [the passenger's] control.” The weird part is he then helped with medical emergencies on both replacement flights lol. According to the report, he eventually got more than $2,000 in refunds. Curious what people make of the boarding situation?

Does anyone know of any 18+ raves happening this weekend (or just before 10/20) ? I have a friend who's visiting me and he really wants to go to a rave, but I'm not really a raver so I don't have any connections to find any LOL. We're also both 20 and don't have fakes as of rn, so it's got to be an 18+ event. We're in CapHill, so that be the most ideal, but as long as public transport can take us there we're open to all suggestions. It may be a long shot, but I figured it doesn't hurt to ask. Thanks!!

I assume that means the Picklr facility in the old Big Lots store on Pearl will never open. https://www.foxbusiness.com/lifestyle/pickleball-facility-franchisor-files-bankruptcy-founder-acknowledges-business-mistake-i-own-it

People seem to have such an intense/aggressive way of correcting people and mocking them over typos that can easily come from language barriers, I ask because in my experience with the average Seattle group it has been definitely intense and I don’t know if I’m supposed to be looking for different groups and where-

Hello, I have an elderly small dog who is deaf and near blind, I have been grooming her at home but I can no longer do a good job given her joint pain and my stress levels about it. Any recommendations on where I can take her? I am open to any service where they know how to handle elderly dogs gently, or a vet that does medication assisted grooming if that’s a thing. Thanks

I am moving to Ballard from Colorado in March. I’m a waitress / bartender. I currently work at a fine dining steak house here and would like to stay somewhat in that genre but open to anything. I like to be passionate about the food I serve while also making money ;) What are some of your favorite, most delicious, & fairly busy restaurants in the Ballard area? Bonus points if it’s just a damn cool vibe too.

We will be hosting our wedding welcome dinner at Copper and Salt in the Silver Cloud at Point Ruston. Most attending like to gamble so we are curious as to which casino we should head to after dinner. We are mainly looking for table games like craps and blackjack, but also like a decent assortment of slots. Right now the closest seems to be Emerald Queen, but the consensus seems to be very "meh" after looking at reviews online.
