Sunday around noon. Foghorns and sea lions honking in the background.

Hey everybody. My wife and I are new to the region and apartment hunting. We look for a gated community with either apartments or townhomes. But most importantly we want fiber internet connection with Ethernet ports in every room. We do have a couple of devices that I would like connected to the internet via cable like my desktop pc and Apple TV for reliable connection. Has anybody any recommendation for these kind of community in the Redmond/bellevue/Seattle area? Thank you

The measure would require students who want to join a girls' sports team to undergo sex verification, either through a genital exam, a chromosome test, or a hormone test. Fewer than 10 trans athletes participate in school sports across the state, according to an estimate from the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association, which oversees school sports. Polling conducted by Let's Go Washington shows its initiative passing in November, with 56% of the vote in favor of banning trans girls from girls' sports. That data, which has yet to be released publicly, shows approval from 73% of Republicans, 48% of Democrats, and 52% of Independents. ~ Fewer than ten kids statewide. What I-638 puts on the ballot is sex verification for every student who wants a spot on a girls' team, with a genital exam as one of the three approved methods. The only poll showing it passing was run by the campaign that wrote it, collected in August, and still has not been published.

Wondering what the best neighborhoods are for trick or treating in Kirkland. Just moved here this year and not sure where to take the kids!

Wondering what the best neighborhoods are for trick or treating in or near Kirkland. We’re new to the Eastside and this will be our first Halloween here.

In 2025, our Governor rightfully recognized that Washington should not be assisting ICE in detaining Washingtonians. This is why Ferguson’s administration took steps to stop ICE from using Washington DOL information for civil immigration enforcement, including cutting off ICE-ERO’s access to driver and vehicle data through Nlets. Unfortunately, this hasn’t put a stop to federal immigration agents accessing the information. The University of Washington Center for Human Rights reported that federal immigration agents were still accessing DOL information through Nlets and Washington State Patrol’s ACCESS system. This has allowed federal immigration agents to run license plates through Washington DOL records and ‘fish’ for potential targets. At least 298 immigration arrests were made after federal agents searched Washington DOL records using license plate numbers through Nlets (UWCHR). Intentionally or not, Washington is still complicit in aiding ICE. Immigrant rights groups and community members are demanding that Ferguson close DOL access to driver and license plate data for civil immigration enforcement. Please read the full letter to the Governor at thisl.org Consider taking 2 minutes to call Ferguson and demand that he close access to Washingtonian’s DOL information.

Hi All! I’m (27M) considering moving to Tacoma from California. I work remotely, I don’t know anyone there, and am worried about trying to make friends. I don’t drink and am introverted. My main hobbies are going to the gym, running, watching/playing soccer. I would love to get into outdoor activities in the area as well. Would it be too difficult to make friends close to my age?

Can someone explain what the deal is with the ferry stuff happening today. I pulled the collective bargaining agreement from the web. It looks like it is valid through July 2027 with a raise in there. Is this sick out for the next contract? Here's the CBA I found. https://ofm.wa.gov/hr-policies/labor-relations/collective-bargaining-agreements/marine-engineer-beneficial-association-licensed-engineer-officers-meba-l-2025-27/
