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? :)

Both my phone (tmob) and home (comc) have been rather slow today. Anyone else?

TL DR Does anyone have a reliable source for frozen Pupusas? Long version. I fell in love with a Salvadoran woman. Shortly thereafter, I fell in love with Pupusas. Alas, the woman in question does not make them (her sister does, but not professionally and not on demand). No big deal, I live in Seattle, i can go to Lily's or Salvadoran Bakery and get them. But sometimes... just sometimes, I really want to have a pupusa for breakfast. And it would be wonderful to be able to pull a couple out of the freezer and drop them on the grill. I know that this is a thing some places. But it requires someone to be able to make them that way. And So, I turn to the community. Also, since I am asking... is there anywhere around here that sells Plantanos? South Park, I am looking at you?

Looking for restaurant recommendations that serve a really good grilled octopus. Willing to drive anywhere in Seattle or surrounding suburbs and towns.

I’m looking to hire a part time personal assistant, but don’t know where to look/advertise. Is Craigslist still used by humans? Are there other places folks would recommend? I’m not trying to do this in a shady/under the table way, and am willing to pay well, I just don’t know how to go about it. Any advice is appreciated! And to be clear- I know the rules and am not soliciting here- just looking for advice on where else to look! Edit: PA = personal assistant. Sorry for the vague title!

Maybe a dumb question but I’ve never run into this issue before. Just moved into a condo that has a massive (8 ft tall, at least 300 pounds) sliding barn door that I don’t want. I’ve tried posting it on Facebook “buy nothing” groups, Facebook marketplace, etc. There’s interest in it but no one follows through or has the resources to move it. I know this is wasteful but I’m kind of at my wits end- is it possible for me to just hire movers to take it to the dump? I just want it gone 😭 Thanks in advance Update; thanks everyone! I reached out to Ballard consignment, Ballard Reuse, and Second Use. Fingers crossed
