Popped into Mox for five minutes and immediately stumbled upon the ultimate social justice final boss: pride flag dice categorized by hyper-specific gender & sexual identities, and an RPG book complete with a staff endorsement to play as a group of "Disaster Gays who band together to take on oppressive toxic powers as well as their own complicated feelings for eachother". I’m pretty sure opening this book automatically grants your character +2 to calling out systemic privilege, advantage on saving throws against microaggressions, and a bonus action for "melodramatic roleplay". Truly peak Seattle--where before you can even swing a broadsword, the party has to pause for a pre-combat safety briefing and a mandatory consent check-in.

Hey everyone, looking for some advice from anyone who has dealt with cross-border car situations. I’m currently in Seattle, and I brought my Canadian-registered car with me. The car is financed and still has an active lien on it back in Canada. My plans have changed, and I’m now looking to sell the vehicle, but I’m completely stuck on how the logistics actually work. Can I trade it into a dealership or sell it to a private buyer here in Washington while it still has a Canadian loan, or does the bank block that? If anyone has gone through this, what is the actual process? Do I have to pay off the entire Canadian loan before a US buyer or dealership can even touch it? Is it possible to do the US customs/import paperwork while the car is already physically sitting here in Seattle? Or am I better off just driving it back across the border into BC to sell it there? Would love to hear how anyone else managed to get out of a Canadian car loan while living down here. Thanks

Worst city ever, i hate living here everyday. The woke leftist and the tech companies completely destroyed this place and the one party authoritarian socialist love destroying more and more everyday. I cant wait to witness the collapse of Seattle Washington!

Yesterday, a friend and I were doing a free cold-weather clothing exchange at Cal Anderson with her kid. We later realized there was also a mutual-aid event happening on the other side of the park, which we hadn’t known about. I took him toward the playground and passed two women arguing. One woman was using a rollator and was saying something about Black women and Jehovah’s Witnesses “letting people die.” I couldn’t hear every word, but it immediately felt strange because I’m Black and was raised Jehovah’s Witness. (I'm not a minister anymore I was forced to, to be able to live with my aunt who also blocked me from getting a job or escaping a long time.) The other woman had colorful hair and hipster-style glasses and was telling her to leave Black people alone. She said the woman with the rollator had already approached multiple Black people around the park. As soon as I realized what was happening, I quietly tried to detour with the kid: But the woman with the rollator started yelling at me, and the other woman began yelling back at her. The woman with the rollator looked like she might follow us, so I hurried up the stairs (as fast as I can with a cane, at least) toward the playground. She stayed behind, continuing to yell. It was incredibly jarring. I’ve never had a stranger suddenly direct that kind of hostility toward me in public before. Later, while I was telling my friend what happened, a woman who had apparently overheard me came over and apologized. She was unhoused and had two kids with her. I told her it was okay and offered her some of the clean, new-with-tags clothing my friend and I were giving away. I’m still trying to process the whole thing. Has anyone else encountered this woman around Cal Anderson recently, or witnessed what happened? I got to see some ducks tho. It made my brain happy and sparkle. The sun was really nice that day. I'm just grateful she wasn't more mobile than my own crippled ass, and that she didn't seem physically violent. Just loud and a little weird.

I want to add bangles, earrings, belts, etc to my collection and I wanna know where you go!! Preferably thrift/vintage but I’m option to other options too

Is Ballard Avenue (where The Tractor, Hattie’s and Farmer’s market is) considered historic , keeping developers from tearing down the old brick buildings to build mixed use condos or large buildings? Or does WA state law apply everywhere and anything old can be torn down and replaced?

In 2011, voters rejected this very same [...] sales tax increase by more than 10 points, a decision that led to a catastrophic 35% service cut. Pierce Transit leaders ultimately decided to advance a significant reduction in Pierce Transit's overall service area, with DuPont, Sumner, and Bonney Lake fully dropped. [...] Voters once again said no – but that time by a painfully close 704 votes out of more than 200,000 ballots cast. With the 0.3% increase to Pierce Transit's sales tax rates that voters will be asked to approve on November 3, in return they'll see a bus system that is able to grow by 49% compared to current service levels. [...] By the time the service adjustments are fully implemented, no Pierce Transit bus routes would operate less frequently than every 30 minutes. ~ The county executive says more than 15,000 people turned in a 2012 ballot and skipped the transit question, in a race decided by 704 votes. That down-ballot line nobody reads is what took 250,000 annual service hours out of Pierce County.

Does anybody here work at/previously work at/know somebody who works at Bazille in Nordstrom? I’m trying to track down the olive aioli recipe… I’ve tried to recreate by taste and tried some recipes online but none come close to nailing it. Any help appreciated 🙏🏼

First we had Dave’s Hot Chicken, which I was fine with. Now we have Houston TX Hot Chicken, then Super Chix, and Starbird opening all within three months of each other. I thought the chicken sandwich craze ended with Popeyes in 2019. Lol. I’ve had Houston and Super Chix, and both were mediocre. I expect the same from Starbird. Can we get a CAVA instead? 🙏🏻

Visiting soon for the first time with kids and grandmother. Any suggestions for a nice mid-priced hotel close to most touristy spots?
