Hi all, I accidentally bought fast pass entries and lawn chair rentals despite our terrace camping and T-mobile access, respectively. I’m happy to send 3 of each. Just send me your email and I can transfer. Otherwise going to waste and The Man wins.

Is there an actual event or will they drive around all day?

Broadway is holding a strong lead for our first Refresh Everett corridor! 👀 Launching in January 2027, Refresh Everett is our new initiative to rotate through local corridors every six months, putting our time and resources where you vote for us to be and creating a more sustainable way to show up for the places that need some love. At its core, it’s about showing that Everett is a city worth investing in, from our small businesses and public spaces to our neighborhoods and the people who are already here. Broadway is packed with great businesses trying to do the damn thing, but the conditions around them don’t always match their effort, and as a major arterial, it’s easy to drive through without realizing that just one block over is a whole neighborhood with parks... schools... homes... and unfortunately, much of that disinvestment starts to bleed into the surrounding neighborhoods. Through Refresh Everett, we’ll organize cleanups, commission public art, help businesses with storefront improvements and marketing, connect them with local artists to push back against AI slop, and work with property owners on practical improvements like fresh paint, lighting, signage, and getting underused spaces back into use. We’ll also walk each corridor and talk with residents, businesses, and property owners about what’s actually needed, then bring those conversations to the city, big businesses, and real estate developers so we can identify where investment, attention, and accountability are needed. No action, big or small, will go unnoticed, because all of it will help prove what Everett can be when people are willing to invest in it! If a corridor near you needs some love, vote here by November 30th! 🙂‍↕️

Hi. For the last summer, I was in Kirkland and have had pretty good experience with finding commute to Redmond Microsoft campus. I also never had to take a bus, and always got someone from MS to commute with in the scoop app. That made my life much easier. And even better, MS pays for that. For the next summer, I was looking into Woodinville as an option. Wanted to understand if I should expect to find fellow scoop riders from Woodinville.

Entire areas of the city with???? Yes! ZERO CHILDREN!! Don't tell me it's because kids are too expensive these days, because kids have ALWAYS BEEN expensive. Don't try to explain it away by saying you'll wait and have kids when you've established your career, statistics prove that doesn't happen very often. Start having kids again, in your 20's ideally, or the city/state/country/society will become a slow motion Trainwreck eventually disappearing and all the good things we've come to enjoy will decline and the bad things, like an increasing tax burden on the shrinking population, will inevitably increase. Demographic decline is an insidious, nearly impossible, cycle to break. Adopted local treasure Gene Balk lays it all out.

I went to Phinney GrillBird near my place today, and the food was practically inedible. I ordered brown rice, but it was undercooked and hard in the middle. The teriyaki chicken was burnt. After leaving a negative review, I discovered that the shop actually snaps back at customers who leave bad feedback. How has a place like this managed to stay open for years? If the merchant really wanted to handle this properly, they should have contacted the customer to issue a refund instead of accusing them of lacking consideration for small businesses—that’s just a form of moral coercion. Or is that the kind of tactic that actually works on you people?

Is there any free trash services than can be requested? Like pickup and clean up side walk

Hey folks, anyone have a lead on a person or shop ideally south of the canal that can install a tow hitch in my minivan?

Bored? Looking for love? Want to help keep our street sewers working and the streets clear? Become a drain warden! Adopt a drain! Adopt four of them! Last year I found about about this program that I guess Seattle partners with, where residents can sign up to take care of storm drains near them. It looks to be nationwide, and that includes Seattle! Here's the Washington site: https://wa.adopt-a-drain.org/ It's pretty easy. Just go out in your dirty chore clothes, bring along a pair of gloves, a spade and a shovel. Pull open the storm drain, pull out the soil, leaves and other debris, and leave it clean. You've just made civilization work just a tiny bit better! I picked out four drains on my street, and kept them maintained all winter long. I just went out and checked in on them, and a couple had backed up pretty badly through spring and summer, but clean out was pretty easy. The whole project took maybe an hour. Last year, the first time I did it, they were all completely filled with soil. One I had to chop out a massive root with my sawzall, which is always super fun. Any...check it out! I'm not affiliated with the organization except as an enthusiastic sewer nerd. https://preview.redd.it/idfze48x8yrh1.jpg?width=4096&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b78e165d1252937c9798396a7143067457e7f94c https://preview.redd.it/nuaqv38x8yrh1.jpg?width=4096&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=698ff9c0fbbb13bfb768c2843712e95ca87eeebc https://preview.redd.it/nq34m58x8yrh1.jpg?width=4096&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0207315deb3fa12d4f0e5be6d8e6a5f9d2e863c3 https://preview.redd.it/7o40u58x8yrh1.jpg?width=4096&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d9b1db03e091ec10dde9fe8d1a2ec34ae9fe4620 https://preview.redd.it/4yxyo48x8yrh1.jpg?width=4096&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b3ad78de4be631b88ca8f28648b89c8374879162

I know this must be an odd place to look for an answer to this question. But, do any of you fine folks know what shampoo The Olympic Athletic Club uses? It does my hair right. I need to know.
