Prowling my chicken coop in Green Lake early this morning. Keep your cats indoors.

I come in peace and am genuinely seeking your opinions/perspective on this experience. I apologize in advance that this is framed as a criticism. I’m a left of center middle-aged man who has lived in Utah, Michigan, and Idaho. Not religious, very anti-MAGA, independent Democrat. When I look at the common thread in all my favorite friends, it’s that they are lively and intellectually rowdy. They think it’s fun to toss around dark or weird ideas, break intellectual norms, and have good banter and laugh. When I meet people from the PNW, they repeatedly come off as the most guarded, careful, expressionless people I have ever met. In conversation, they only offer generic, riskless statements and score a 0/10 on banter. They have the flattest affect; they hardly smile, and almost never laugh. It gives me the impression that they’re afraid to express an opinion or say something wrong, so they basically offer no statements and no reactions. I feel like they are just staring at me and observing me. I don’t consistently have this experience with people from any other part of the country. I’m curious to hear your thoughts on what might be different culturally about the PNW that might help me understand.

Looking to spend $40 or under for my wife’s birthday- happy to snag a Groupon if needed

Hey y'all. My wife's looking for a record by a semi-obscure Seattle-based musician, but the album is sold out on their official merch store. I'm hoping I can find a copy through a local retailer and have it shipped to where we live. I have searched all over the web, but haven't found any copies on Amazon, eBay, or Discogs. Local record stores are my last hope before I pivot to something else. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Climate Pledge. Sec 122 Row A, front row of the section, great sightline. Suffered an injury so immobile sadly, don't want them to go to waste. $99/ea = fair price, happy to do TM transfer once payment lands. AMA about the seats.

Hello everyone! I am an out-of-state Counseling student! I am seeking for a practicum opportunity in the Seattle-eastside area for Jan 2027. I have already applied to sites, but many are specifically looking for students from WA programs. so, I decided to post here as well. I would appreciate if anyone on here has any site recommendations. Thanks in advance!

I need your advice on this thing. So I vacated an Apt back in Aug and only received the deposit mail with check after 35 days and that too with hefty charges levied. I got less than $100 back. Two things: They charged a cleaning fee and the turn maintenance fees separately amounting to $150 and $105. When I moved out I cleaned the apartment and took a video and it was as clean as it was given to me at move-in and also I don’t understand why are they charging the “Turn Maintenance” - Is this something I am responsible to pay? I read the lease and there is no mention of that. Want to know what‘s the law about this. Secondly, while reading online I came across the WA state law that mandates the management to return the deposit within 30 days of move-out. In my case the letter I received marks the date thats 35 days later. Can I do anything about this? Or this is a general thing that tenants deal with? Any thoughts and information would help. Thank you

I'm wondering, is it a good idea to walk from the Ballard Farmers Market to Pike Place Market, just for fun and exercise? Google Maps seems to show semi industrial roads, rail yards, and some pretty huge hills. I'm thinking about starting at the Ballard Farmers Market with no particular purpose, just looking for a healthy 10K step walk. Downtown Seattle could be a good destination if I can find a nice, enjoyable route.

My dog is getting older and we had to switch her food to one we get from the vet. We have a ton of the farmers dog food left. Would anyone be willing to pay $5 a bag? I’d donate all the money to the ASPCA. thank you

i’ll be visiting Seattle (for the first time!) when the Big Brother Finale is happening. Is there anywhere doing a watch party? :)
