Had a parking ticket go to collections. Found out when I couldn’t get new tabs. Well now collections is paid, has been for months, but the court still shows an unpaid ticket when I go to pay my tabs. I’ve verified with collections that the court knows I’ve paid, but I cannot get ahold of the court at all to check what’s going on. They’ve kicked me off hold so many times, I have to go back to work tomorrow so I can keep this persistence up. TLDR, can I go into the court and find someone to speak with about a parking ticket issue? If so, what location/counter? TYIA

I wasn’t sure what flair to use, r/tacoma took my post down because they’re annoying lmfao, here it is. Hello everyone, happy Monday. I have been losing sleep over this one. On Saturday night, I was coming out of the crumbl on 23rd st, next to the target. A nice handsome man, 26, stopped me and asked for my number. I, stupidly, did not check the number before we left the scene. It was the wrong number 😭 It could be that he was being mean and messing with me, but it really didn’t seem that way. Your name is Alberto, I texted the number you put in my phone but was told it was the wrong number. You also have a green car. DM me if this sounds like you haha, wish me luck. ETA: Alberto gave me HIS number, but typed it in incorrectly in my phone. Just wanted to clear that up

About six months ago, I was laid off from a large tech company where I worked as a Software Engineer. Since then, I’ve been trying to expand my job search beyond platforms like Wellfound, Ramp, LinkedIn, Indeed, and Welcome to the Jungle and connect with recruiting agencies here in Seattle. However, most of the recruiting agencies I’ve come across seem to specialize in warehouse or sales roles. Does anyone have recommendations for reputable recruiting agencies in Seattle that specialize in software engineering or other tech roles? I’d also love to hear from anyone who has worked with larger recruiting firms like TEKsystems or Randstad. How did you get your foot in the door? I uploaded my resume to both about two months ago but haven’t heard anything back. Any recommendations or advice on how to get connected with the right recruiters would be greatly appreciated!

Last Thursday, thirty-eight of Seattle's business leaders, Brad Smith of Microsoft, Brian Niccol of Starbucks, Ron Vachris of Costco, Erik Nordstrom and others, sent the mayor an emergency letter demanding a public safety plan in a hundred days. What they were really demanding is that Seattle finally take on the drug economy and the addiction crisis that feeds it. The letter never uses those words. Every item on it is about them. They want foot patrols in Little Saigon, where the pills are sold, and officers at 911 calls in seven minutes, because the retail theft downtown is what pays for the pills. They want the open-air markets shut down, since that is where the stolen goods get traded for fentanyl, and the tents out of the parks, since that is where a lot of the customers sleep. Fentanyl is the product. Theft and robbery are the working capital. Cars and guns are the equipment. And the boys are the labor. Six weeks before the letter, my son was standing in the crowd at the Bite of Seattle when a fifteen-year-old with "1 SHOT, 1 KILL" engraved on his pistol opened fire. How does a boy get there? In 1985 I was a fifth grader at the Bush School, staring through a chain-link fence at the kids of Martin Luther King Jr. Elementary. That same year the University of Washington started following 808 Seattle fifth graders, my age exactly, into their thirties. What they found explains a lot about that boy, and about the city we have now. Two boys in the same crowd. Two sides of a fence.

I'm trying to find venues that could host a Warhammer 40K tabletop game. Games can take a while so it's not something I could really do at a coffee shop or bar. I've played events at Midgard Comics but I've been left with a bad impression after they charged me to use their tables. I could always host at home, but I've been trying to start up a 40K group and would like to find a common area to play at, hopefully without needing to drive to Tacoma for every game (that said, Terracrux is a pretty solid backup)

I’m trying to locate an April Fool’s Day article in the Seattle Weekly (maybe The Stranger) about a boy who invented some headgear contraption that allowed his grandmother to change channels on the TV by using her thoughts? The boy was then kidnapped by Microsoft. I feel like there was a bit of an uproar around it but starting to wonder if I made the whole thing up? It would’ve been published in the mid 90’s (pretty sure).

SDOT press secretary Ethan Bergerson confirmed via email late last week that the department was only looped in on Saka's package on August 19, the day before the first committee discussion was held. SDOT did provide feedback on the bill on September 4, Bergerson said, but no changes were incorporated by the September 8 meeting when Saka assured his colleagues that no further changes would be made. Because the bills aren't set to be formally introduced until September 15, two days before a final committee vote, the deadline to submit amendments was last week. ~ The amendment deadline landed before the bill existed. Committee votes Thursday the 17th if you have something to say about that.

Hey everyone! I’m trying to get my foot in the door of the cannabis industry, specifically on the production/farm side (packaging, trimming, processing, production support, etc.). I’ve applied to a couple entry-level positions I found on indeed but haven’t had much luck so far. I’d really appreciate hearing from anyone who currently works in the industry about how you got started, what employers look for, or where you’d recommend. If you know of any companies hiring around Tacoma/Pierce County or the surrounding area , I’d also really appreciate any leads! I’m willing to start at an entry-level position and learn. Thanks in advance to anyone willing to share advice or point me in the right direction! 💚

I rented a car through Fox, and they are asking me to pay a ridiculous amount after i already paid for the rental and fees. I’m looking at a total of 862 for 6 days, which I can’t afford. Is there a better option that won’t kill my bank account. Need help asap

I'll be in Seattle to drop my daughter off at UW this week. While I'm there, I'll need to get in a long run Saturday morning of ±14 miles at ±9:45 / mile. Can anyone recommend any group runs with runners going this distance and pace? Ideally, I'd need to meet somewhere that's easily accessible through public transportation as I have an orca card, but not a car.
