This was my 2nd time to Seattle, I had sunnier weather each time (just gone cloudy when I snapped this). I am a fan of your light rail (following Ballard extension news from afar). I used the 1 but visited Mercer Island as an excuse to use the 2. There is something about a city with ferry transport (Seattle, Sydney, San Francisco, Auckland, etc.) that is extra fun. (My grandfather was born in King County in the 40s so I claim a tenuous Seattle connection…) Until the next time.

I don’t know if this is the right place for this so let me know where is if it’s not but I bought this shirt at the space needle gift shop when I went to Seattle in 2024 and I really like the design and want to buy more stuff from this artist but for the life of me I can’t find it anywhere. even reverse google searching the design and the signature doesn’t come up with anything.

It needs more fast casual places where you can pop in for a sandwich or a hot slice of pizza and walk out. I’m not talking about more Jersey Mikes or more coffee shops. I’m talking about what Toasted and Dave’s Cosmic Subs does. Lakewood is super walkable and I just always wish there was more food options that weren’t sit down restaurants. We have so many green spaces in Lakewood that the food places would be the perfect place to stop along a walk, grab some food, and go sit at the park. Edit to add for all the “get takeout” folks: I don’t want a full restaurant meal for lunch. I want fast casual. I don’t want to call ahead so they can prep a big meal for pick up. I want to take a walk, walk into an establishment, ask for a sandwich, wait for them to make the sandwich, then keep walking on my way. I don’t know how much clearer I can make it.

I'm not trying to argue with people. I'm trying to figure out why this happened. We haven't had the best response to crime in general, but its way worse these days. Why? If your answer is only "the liberals" that's not a complete answer. Can we talk about this without it getting emotional or turning into a shitpost? I want to know why.

When I visited Seattle for work in 2019 (iirc), I got the virus so I was looking for a pharmacy. I saw this absolutely stunning woman about my age walking her dog and asked her whether she knew where I can find a pharmacy. She brought me in her apartment. Gave me a brief description (I think she was a weed user) and then took me to a bar. On the way to the bar, in the elevator, she told me she'll protect me. Honestly, she was an angel. I was still recovering from being avoidantly attached. In the end she was surprised I was really sick and so she went out by herself. I was just stunned how easily people get together in the US. In Europe, you'll see at most your neighbor taking your garbage bin out from your yard with his (after years of living next door). Do you folks get so easily together in Seattle, generally speaking? P.S. yes, I did get the meds in the end from across the road of the hotel I was staying at

Me and a friend of mine really wanted to go to the fair today but with the rain I’m not sure if they’d even be open or have any attractions to get on and it’s supposed to rain all day. TL;DR: Is the fair open on rainy days? and if so is it even worth going?

Hi! My cats recently needed a switch to prescription food and I have a good amount of their regular food left over (Blue Wilderness brand, chicken flavor) but it’s in a plastic tub, no longer in the bag. Does anyone know if there are any organizations that would accept it? I know that it being opened and not in the original packaging might cause hesitation, but I hate to just get rid of it when I know there are hungry kitties out there. Thanks!

Her name is Ren. She's wearing a collar with her name & my phone number on it. She's chipped. We just moved to central Tacoma near 6th & Proctor. She's never run off in the 13 years I've had her. Our back gate was open & we had assumed she was inside due to the rain. Been walking up & down every surrounding street calling for her for the past 6 hours & no sight. Please contact me if you even think you might've seen her. She's incredibly friendly & will most likely come to you if you call her by name.

Its covered by my insurance but I've recently heard some people say its better to go to a urologist. Got me a little nervous. I'd appreciate hearing any experiences :)

In issuing its final ruling the board found that Seattle had adequately reviewed the potential impacts of housing growth over the next 20 years, it just didn't encompass enough potential growth. It ultimately ruled the FEIS was inadequate because the City had only reviewed the impacts of what is considered "maximum likely development" instead of "maximum possible development," a move that leaves out approximately 42,000 potential units of housing based on City planners' estimates. "The Board disagrees that it was the City's burden to show how its implementing regulations 'comply' with its policies," the ruling stated. "Instead, it was Joint Petitioners' burden to show how the implementing regulations are inconsistent with the policies. But Joint Petitioners did not discuss even a single line of text from the implementing regulations, anywhere in their brief, and so fail to meet their burden." ~ A year and a half of appeals, and the only thing the board faulted was the city studying too little housing.
