on september 16th around 3am me and my roommate heard an otherwordly, almost analog horror like song being played from what seemed like the ground (we are living around 150 feet high) in first hill, Seattle it was like one of those old timey songs, the ones you'd hear on a pipboy radio station in fallout. i might only be posting this out of how scary it was, yes, but i also really hope some one else might have heard it, because i want to know if people also believe in the scariness behind it key details it sounded like an old song, and im pretty sure it was played the whole way through it sounded loud as hell, like the volume of a screamer in a horror game There was nothing else for the entire rest of the night. Anomaly or Prank or Something darker? I could never image any reason to blast and old song that sounds like it’s from 1940 with amplified vocals at 3am i just really hope someone else hears it too other than my roommate. but if i didn’t have a roommate i think i would have thought i was schizophrenic

I’m all for anything that reduces car trips, which is why I’m a fan of Lime bikes and scooters! But please find better ways to store them leaving bike racks available for people who need to lock their personal bikes. I know space is limited at times, the sidewalks need to stay open for all, and the city needs to speed up efforts to build bike corrals in the street. In the meantime please don’t leave them like this. Edit: I spelled "spatial" incorrectly in the header.

I’m (39f) am going through a separation from my husband. I love my handful of close girlfriends, but they’re all boo’d up. Are there any (in person) support groups for women going through divorce?

I need a few custom game pieces printed (12 coins smaller than your palm) and was wondering if anyone knew how or where I could get my hands on a 3D printer? Willing to pay!

Who’s going to the front bottoms concert on Friday? haha all my friends flaked and it would be nice to make some new pals

We would rather not medicate our dog who is otherwise quite well adjusted, but she gets so freaked out about loud booms. We are looking for somewhere to get away from the noise of fireworks, ideally within about a 2-hour drive. We’d be especially interested in places where there is a dog-friendly hotel, cabin, or vacation rental available We’d be willing to drive farther for a place that is actually quiet . I’m more interested in people’s firsthand experience than simply looking at fireworks ordinances. Where would you go if your main goal was to avoid fireworks noise?

I've seen some conflicting information online, so I just wanted to confirm with anyone who's taken Hawaiian Airlines out of SeaTac recently: Is the Hawaiian Airlines check-in/baggage drop at SeaTac still at the south end of Departures or are we supposed to check in at the north end at the Alaska counters? I'm just trying to make sure we aren't dropped off at the opposite end of the concourse. To be clear, this is an outbound flight that still appears to be operated by Hawaiian Airlines , not Alaska, and still has the Hawaiian logo on the ticketing details. Some of the conflicting info I've gotten from people hinges on whether the flight is Hawaiian or Alaska operated. Thanks in advance!

My husband (27M) and I (27F) booked a quick weekend trip, Thursday night to Sunday morning to Seattle this winter. I wish we could go longer to get a better feel, but I unfortunately have very limited PTO yearly. We are using this as a way to see what Seattle winter is like to see if we would want to move here. We visited this past summer and loved the vibe but know the winters are drastically different and gloomy. If we move, we know we don’t want to live in downtown Seattle and we would want to live in a neighborhood nearby. My husband can keep his job and work remote if we move, but I will have to find a new job before moving. I am an industrial engineer so I imagine I will have more opportunities south of Seattle like Boeing and other manufacturing facilities. Although there are several companies I am interested in working for that are all over Seattle metro so I will have to figure out where we can live after I get a job. We are super into fitness (running, crossfit) and walk our dog daily. I also love being walkable to coffee shops and restaurants (being close to public transportation to get to sports games and concerts dt is also a plus). I am looking at Airbnbs to book for the weekend to “roleplay” a weekend in Seattle in the winter and we plan to rent a car. What neighborhood do you suggest? I have been looking at Ballard and Fremont mainly but I am not sure about best location. What would you suggest as a fun and fully booked Friday and Saturday in Seattle to help us get a better feel of the city? I know we will experience just a sliver of Seattle winter and we won’t get the full experience but unfortunately we don’t have the luxury to live in Seattle for a few weeks/months to decide. We are from Minneapolis and know what freezing weather is like and not seeing the sun. Seattle and Minneapolis have pretty similar sunrise/sunset averages. We would have to get used to the gloomy days and cold rain though. Any advice would be helpful!

Man I'm so tired of dodging & nearly being clipped by scooters on the sidewalks. It should be mandatory that they take the bike lanes. I can't imagine how many people have already been hit by them considering everytime i'm walking (everytime). There is someone flying down the side walk weaving in between people. What's up with that?
