hello all. i, 24f, frequent a karaoke bar that is just a couple blocks away from where i live, won’t say which one for safety’s sake. i’ve been going here alone, typically at least once a week, for over a year now. i know almost all the staff by name and they all know me. this is all to say that i’ve felt safe coming here alone and haven’t really had any major issues, until recently. men have always hit on me here, and there’s been the occasional creep that doesn’t respect consent or me as a person. it’s never been frequent enough for me to feel unsafe going alone, especially because the staff here look out for me. the past few weeks though, i have had multiple issues with men harassing me to the point staff need to deescalate the situation on my behalf. a couple weeks ago, someone tried following me home, and when i stopped at the corner store for a snack he came up to me explicitly saying he followed me there. luckily the staff at the corner store also know me, and know i don’t do cuckoo banana shit without reason, so i hid in the storeroom while they handled him. the next week, this man was back at the bar, and staff who had seen him follow me when i discretely left (trying to avoid him) talked to him saying that he cannot follow or talk or interact with me. haven’t had any issues with him since then. last night, a man was waiting outside the bathrooms. i assumed he was waiting for his girlfriend, because he was right outside the ladies room, hovering. i talked to him briefly, wrongly assuming he was safe because his girlfriend must be just inside the bathroom, and he reached over and groped me. like the comical “honka honka” type shit. i immediately walked away and went to tell staff what happened, and someone who seemed familiar with the staff, who i had also been talking with when chatting with the bouncer and other staff, announced himself as the bar owner and said he was going to go check the tapes. i was still shaken, i went back inside, trying to shake it off, and a bartender came up to me asking if i was ok and where this guy went. they had very clearly seen him grope me on the cctv footage, and wanted to kick him out and likely ban him. they found him and gave him the boot, and then it all sunk in and i just started sobbing. some other bartenders helped me call my parent and gave me hugs and reassurance, i ended up ubering to my parents place where she made me pizza and is going to make me brioche waffles this morning. i just don’t know what is going on, the only thing that has changed with me is that i’m like way less interested in talking with men than i was a year ago, and i wear more metaphorical anti-man perfume. i just go there to vibe, sing, and talk with the staff. i don’t know why men have been increasingly disrespectful and creepy recently, it really really sucks that they are starting to ruin this place that i love so much with their entitlement. the staff here is absolutely wonderful, and i always know they have my back, but im beginning to feel less and less safe coming here alone. i’m a conventionally attractive smaller woman, so i’m used to having to brush men off at bars. i’m not used to feeling unsafe at my safe bar. that is all, if anyone has any hypotheses on why men are more disgusting as of late, i’m all ears.
Last night an asshole was honking nonstop for 30 minutes and would stop in front of the buildings on 76th Ave. did anyone hear it as well?? I wonder what happened.
Thinking about starting something for West Seattle’s big dogs! I’ve been kicking around a career change and wanted to see if there’s actually a need for this before I build it out too far. Having large dogs, and having issues finding boarding, I decided to do it myself! The idea is called: Driftwood’s Retreat . • Longer walks/exploration(90 minutes)instead of quick potty walks • Private home boarding with only one guest dog at a time(entire bedroom/bed/space) and interaction with myself, wife and our two dogs so they don’t miss you too much. • Fenced yard and dedicated indoor space for feeding and water • Same person handling the dogs every time • Large breeds genuinely welcome( and preferred!!) The goal isn’t to build another daycare or pack 15 dogs into a van. (Dumb and Dumber images here haha.) I’m thinking more along the lines of a small neighborhood adventure club where I actually know every dog and owner!! I’m considering starting with a few(3-6)founding dogs in West Seattle and seeing where it goes. For people here with larger or high-energy dogs: Would this be something you’d actually use? And if so, what matters most to you??: smaller groups, longer outings, home boarding, consistency of the handler, price, pickup/drop-off, or something I’m overlooking? I’d genuinely rather hear what local dog owners want before I finish designing the service. Thanks!

I’m 24F lesbian and moved to Seattle earlier this year. I live alone and work overnight (for practical reasons), and I have gotten to a point where I am extremely isolated from other people. I have no family here or anyone to communicate with. People I’ve tried to befriend on designated apps, events in person and on reddit quickly fizzle out due to incompatibility. I don’t have someone who regularly texts me just because they thought of me, someone I can spontaneously call, someone to get food with, someone to tell things to, or someone whose life I’m actually part of. I spend so much time alone that it has started to feel like I’m watching everyone else’s lives happen while I’m standing outside of mine. I go to work while everyone else is living their normal lives, come home to an empty apartment, sleep, wake up, and do it again. Even when I do things I enjoy, there is still this huge absence of another person there to experience life with. I take advantage of my days off and usually take myself out during daylight. It’s gotten bad enough that things I normally love can actually hurt because they remind me of what it feels like to have people around. Sometimes I don’t even want to listen to my favorite music because it reminds me of being accompanied by people I loved. I can spend an entire day doing things I enjoy and still come home feeling completely alone. I’ve been dealing with this for months now, and I’m getting really tired. I don’t know how long a person is supposed to live like this without it making them feel miserable especially if they are a deep connection kind of person. I have something new coming up that I’m hoping will help…a recurring jazz piano group class…but I’m honestly scared to put all my hope into it because I don’t know if it will actually lead to people becoming part of my life. But just so you guys know, music, specifically jazz piano is my biggest passion. So I’m hoping this reoccurring activity can put me around people I can bond with. I’m not looking for “join a club” or “download Meetup” advice. I’ve already tried to meet people. I want to hear from people who were actually this severely isolated in Seattle, especially people who were in their 20s when it happened. If that was you, how long were you alone like that? Did you eventually get out of it? And if you did, what actually happened that changed your life? I think I need to hear from people who can honestly say, “Yes, I was that alone too, and this is what happened afterward.”
The budget difficulties stem mostly from a combination of lower gas tax revenue and the county's yearly 1% property tax levy increase not keeping up with construction-specific inflation, which has increased by about 30-40% annually in recent years, Public Works Director Kelly Snyder previously said. [...] Tom Teigen, an executive director at Snohomish County, said that 40 construction or maintenance projects have been reduced or deferred recently, some a decade or longer into the future, due to rising costs. "If we didn't have the TBD [Transportation Benefit District], we would have had to wrap up any of our grant-funded projects because we were going to have to take those matching funds and use them for maintenance and operations instead," Cox said Wednesday. ~ Forty projects deferred, some by a decade, and the rescue plan is a flat fee every driver pays the same regardless of income. Deferred maintenance is a loan nobody voted to take out.
If you wanted to have a nice drive out of seattle, see somewhere rural and pretty, and also eat a ton of oysters, where would you go? I was thinking about that Chuckanut Taylor's place, but I'm worried I'd be paying the same seattle prices for oysters and just driving more.
