As annoying as it is, I must ask. Does anyone know what the parking situation is at the light rail station around 12:30 pm on Wednesdays? I am trying to decide if it’s worth it to park and take the rail vs driving south. I would much rather take public transit. I usually can snag a spot if I arrive before 7:30 am but wasn’t sure if people start leaving by noon. Thanks in advance!
A few weeks back, I posted an interest-check about starting an in-person group for women navigating a career transition — layoffs, burnout, pivots, the ambiguous "what now" space in between. [Original post] The group has met a few times now and honestly it's gone…way better than I could have hoped. It's pretty isolating and lonely in this ambiguous space and it's been so delightful to find and connect with others in it! Every meetup has looked a little different — one was more about the emotional processing/headspace of this "gap" whereas this week's meetup leaned a bit more into creative career-pivot strategies. Here's the format for each meetup: Working session (1 hour) — quiet tables for unstructured, quiet body-doubling time (apply for jobs, work on a resume, build your empire, or play a few rounds of Wordle), and collaboration tables if you want feedback, interview practice, or just to talk shop Post-work social time — stick around after and socialize. Commiserate about the job market, trade corporate horror stories, enthrall and educate us with your latest internet rabbit hole topic, or just hang out Who it's for: Women/non-binary Mid-career (vs. new grads) Going through a transition — laid off, exploring/switching careers, taking a career break, burnout recovery, etc. If you're deep in active job-search mode, hitting the pavement hard, and want networking or tactical job-hunt accountability, Mind the Gap might not be what you're looking for. The space we're trying to foster is a bit more focused on the in-between, the curiosity, and people who are intentionally taking the space to figure out what's next. If any of this resonates with you and you've been sitting on this since the first post (or if the grayer skies are making you crave the company of a cozy community) — we'd love to have you! Next steps — October meetups: Wed 10/7, 2-4pm Wed 10/14, 2-4pm (at a different, further-north location — testing it out) Sun 10/18, 11am-1pm Wed 10/21, 2-4pm We meet at a cafe near 5th & Pine downtown, with one session further north. For more information and to RSVP, please fill out this short form: https://forms.gle/rnVEQNuJ6e88k5Uw7 Thanks for all the interest and engagement with the original post! Hope to see you at a meetup!
SDOT would have been looking at a $113 million deficit in the transportation fund by 2028 without any adjustments. Changes to SDOT's budget already made in 2026 include $56.7 million in reductions, including nearly $14 million in program cuts. With a reduction in pothole repair funding, SDOT expects to slip closer to its voter-approved target of filling 80% of reported potholes within 72 hours, compared to its nearly 90% rate reported currently. It increases the city's Commercial Parking Tax rate from 14.5% to 17%, a move that brings in nearly $10 million per year that will go to both Vision Zero and programs like sign maintenance and urban forestry. ~ The 80% pothole target voters approved was supposed to be the floor. It is now the plan. Nine positions come off the books, including three signal electricians, and the fastest growing line in here is camera tickets at $20 million a year.
Wondering if anyone had any insight on good apartments in somewhat central Bellevue on the cheaper end but still worth it. Wanting the normal basics for a one bedroom apt. I’m completely new to the whole apartment thing and there are so many options, I’m getting overwhelmed.
went up the Space Needle with my binoculars to see her for the very first time in my life. almost cried.
I have an iPhone 12 Pro Max that was broken previously but I was able to fix last year. Now, this year. I’ve replaced both screen and the battery again. I don’t care much for the phone but I really want my pictures back. I have photos and videos before my grandmothers passing that I would like to keep. My iCloud wasn’t backed up and when I logged in on a computer I only had 300 photos (saving mostly screenshots for an odd reason) As of now, my phone turns on but is extremely dim to the point you have to have a flash light to be able to see the time. I can’t put my password in because the touch won’t work. Also my phone does not have Siri and and the last time it was updated was iOS 13 or 14. (I tried upgrading storage through the computer but it asks me to have the iOS 17 which I am unable to get because of the touch problem). So, please if you can recommend me anyone who can help other than Apple (I’ve asked them and they just said my pictures are gone if they aren’t backed up)
Largest 12's Seahawks flag in Seattle was just installed in the lobby of the Columbia Center building. Come visit and get your photos at the building, go visit the Columbia Center Sky View Observation deck on floor 73 while you're at it!

Its such a weird (and probably stupid) question, but its something I'm concerned about. 23M I was born and raised in Seattle for about 4 years before my family moved to a small town out-of- state. Hardly remember the city, but I've visited a few times since. Recently have been looking at moving back (got very lucky with a remote job). Love everything from the atmosphere to the weather, ironically. Its just that, growing up in a small town, I've never made many friends/ dated too often (I know this is one of Seattle's weak points, but it's still far better than my current situation.) and I've consistently been told from family in Chicago in New York that "your location means everything in a city". I.e. people from Manhattan don't spend time with or date people in the Bronx. It's a long distance between them, it makes sense, just hard to wrap my head around since I've always had to drive far for everything. So, this is essentially my predicament: I do really love the quietness & tranquility of my hometown, and I would like to preserve some of that when moving to a city (somewhere like Queen Anne), but it works in contrast to wanting to meet people (Capitol Hill, U District, etc.) Ballard and Fremont may be nice too but heard its maybe more of a family/30s crowd? Anyway, My question is this: Will it be much harder to make friends and/or date if I live in a place like Queen Anne, Ballard, Fremont, etc. because the people around my age will think I'm "too far"? Should I forego wanting to live somewhere more quiet and force myself to live in the city if it means it will 180 my social life? Or am I overthinking it? It feels like a question that can be answered with "obviously, no" But I've heard the opposite enough times that it has me concerned. Would appreciate any comments! (Also P.S. I've got apartments picked out in Ballard, Fremont, Queen Anne, and Capitol Hill right now. Which area do you think I should pick? 125k salary if that matters)
It's deja vu all over again: another Pac Sci dinosaur extinction event + more bad news about a reflecting pool renovation project. I visited the Pacific Science Center this weekend and was surprised to find that the triceratops and stegosaurus sculptures had disappeared from the reflecting pool area outside the museum. I had just seen them a few weeks ago, so I asked the museum staff when and why they were removed. Apparently it happened a couple of weeks ago because the fiberglass sculptures were badly damaged beyond the point of repair. I asked if there was going to be an auction, and the staff person said they think the statues were demolished.
