Hi all, last year I quit my job at a small business and have left over funds with a barter company called Saturn Barter. It’s similar to BizX or any barter company, but it is local to the Seattle and Tacoma areas. I keep getting messages that my account will be closed and my money I can barter with (around $1k) will return back to my previous employer. Some of these funds were gifted, some were earned as sales commission. I paid a hefty chunk of unexpected income tax straight from my regular paycheck when the funds were gifted to me for use at a work trade show. I wouldn’t have accepted the barter funds if I knew I would pay actual money for them, in hindsight. I’m wondering if closing my account and returning my barter currency is even legal, if I paid USD taxes on what I received? Just sharing this as my own experience with this company. If anybody has advice I’d love to hear it. Right now I just buy Zeeks Pizza gift cards lmao, that is really the only thing of use to me on the barter platform.

I have a very nice measure 1 sign if someone would like it. Somehow I accidentally indicated I would like a sign but I live in a condo who won’t allow me to put it on the lawn and my windows don’t really face anywhere visible.

New to Bellevue, WA and looking for a good veterinarian for my 14 year old senior cat. Before we moved our local vet suspects that he has tooth resorption or FORL, but we hadn't had the time to do further checkups and bloodwork. I am devastated, from what I've read it is painful, and I want to get him thoroughly evaluated as soon as possible. I'm in Bellevue but happy to drive anywhere on the Eastside or into Seattle. I am looking for a place that genuinely cares about the wellbeing of the cat, and ideally specializes in felines & feline dental work. Please let me know if you have any trusted clinics in mind, and even better if you've had any experiences with FORL or dental surgeries with your own cat around the area. Thank you so much.

EDIT: Claimed!! Would anyone like a pair of free tickets to Ghostbusters in Concert for this Saturday at the Paramount? Completely free!

This probably gets asked more than it should but I’d like to get the most up to date information. My wife (32/F) and I (40/M) decided we want to move to Washington next year with our young child, specifically the Everett area from north Texas. She grew up in Snohomish and moved to Texas after college and I’m from Texas but was stationed at the Naval base a little over 10 years ago. I enjoyed living there as a young sailor and always dreamt of moving back but never seemed like a reality. When I found out she was from the area it seemed more realistic. DFW has gotten so congested in the last few years and it’s a pain going anywhere. Not to mention there’s no outdoor recreation, of course you can drive a few hours to do something outdoors but it’s so hot 3/4 of the year so doing anything outside becomes unbearable. We also generally prefer Washington’s social and political climate and are looking for a place that feels more aligned with how we want to raise our family. She grew up doing lots of outdoor recreation and I’ve always loved hiking and being outdoors so that’s a big draw for us. We also want our child to grow up somewhere that the outdoors has more to offer. In north Texas almost all activities are indoors and it gets expensive trying to entertain a toddler every weekend. We’re not big on being out all hours of the night but do enjoy local restaurants/breweries, coffee shops, parks, and a more small town feel. We’re both in strong sectors where we are now (defense and finance) and found that employment isn’t scarce for our industries. From people who actually live in Everett or nearby, what’s the long and short of living there in 2026? Neighborhoods, raising a young child, schools/daycare costs, commute, the local job market, outdoor access, crime/property crime, community, restaurants/coffee/breweries, and anything you wish you knew before moving there. If you were in our shoes, would you choose Everett itself or one of the surrounding communities?

He would text me early in the morning like he was into the spontaneity then stuff happened and he got fired or sum but idk why he was so upset when I told him I was out working and could be working more except I'm pregnant and he wanted to be involved so I was scheduling things around him, the [vid]( https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZP83XnTHs/ ) is when he 🍇 me and caused bleeding, he's in the Seattle area, Lynnwood and Mukilteo

Researchers in UW's Pravetoni Research Group are harnessing the power of the immune system to prevent overdoses before they happen and loosen the grip of addiction. And now, the lab plans to ask the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for the go-ahead to move their fentanyl vaccine into human trials, a major step in the vaccine testing and approval process. Oregon and Washington have some of the highest overdose death rates in the country, ranking eighth and third respectively among the 50 states. ~ Third in the nation for overdose deaths, and the lab building the countermeasure is right here. Trials can take ten years. Fund it now.
