Hi Eastsiders! I just wanted to give a shoutout, and recommendation to a practice here in Bellevue that I don’t think gets enough credit. Eastside MFM (Maternal Fetal Medicine) saved my baby’s life, as well as mine. While it’s true, that you’re not getting the warm and fuzzy ob/gyn or midwife experience, as someone who has worked in medicine for decades, I realize that this is a sub-specialty. These doctors aren’t there to deliver my baby. They are there to read my NSTs, ultrasounds, and give high risk evidence based advice. What I think made this practice special was one particular woman…and it’s one who I doubt most people even think of when factoring in their care. She’s one of the front desk staff. She’s probably in her later 40s, and seemed to really have it together. I would get the impression that out of the other ladies working in the front (heck, even the back), she was kind of the “clinic mom.” I think when I started as a patient, she was just new there, so maybe May or June, but I observed her make every single patient feel like they (and their partner) were the most important. To the management at Eastside, if you’re seeing this: the petite, brunette at the front has a lot of respect from me, as well as several other patients. I wish I had known she was Doula, and had years of experience. I only learned this from a friend who is also a patient, and is considering using her. In my opinion, the front desk lady (who was a nurse prior to working there), set the tone from my first visit! Thanks also to the techs, Dr. Amara, Dr. Saoud, and nurses for coordinating with Ob/Gyn at Overlake.

Crazy scene, lots of cops and on lookers? All the shops are still open.

My coworker was in an incident near the intersection light at 4th Ave W / 128th St SW near Mariner High School about an hour ago (1:50pm) and just wondering if anyone was a witness to this or has dashcam footage to provide. She was turning right onto 4th Ave W from 124th St SW and the other driver was turning left onto 4th Ave W from 124th St SW. The other driver was driving very erratically and dangerous behind her. The driver was described as a tall (~6'2) black man, driving a black Kia, possibly an Optima, with tinted windows, with no front license plate. He sped up behind her to catch up to her, was swerving into the shoulder lane, and was honking at a Tesla in front of him at the red light to move forward so he could get closer to my coworkers car. Hoping the Tesla driver or someone else that witnessed this had a camera and sees this post. The driver got out of his car at the red light with his gun and was pointing the gun at her, threatening to kill her. When the light turned green again he got back into his car and she saw him exit southbound onto I-5. She called 911 and they said it was out of their jurisdiction and they weren't able to do anything as she had no info so we were cross posting across different platforms to see if anyone has any info to help.

Sorry for potato photo quality, I had to zoom in from across the intersection. I keep seeing these; I assume they’re some MAGA alarmist bullshit, but does anybody know what they’re about in any more detail?

I just saw a rollover accident on Schuster Pkwy, and when I googled it I found nearly the same thing happened in nearly the same spot just three days ago, with critical injuries. Given that it's a long road with no turns or exits, I'm wondering how people managed this twice in one week? I know there was construction there recently but it's finished already. Just a bad coincidence maybe.

Hi, my brother just moved the area and is looking for a place to rent. He has fragrance sensitivities which really narrows down his choices. He is very clean, no pets, single guy. Any input would be extremely appreciated!

Hey Tacoma - I’m in town for the weekend visiting family and was wondering if anyone knows of any coffee shops that use Kuma beans. They are one of my favorites and hoping to find some while in town. Thanks!

Hello! I’m in seattle this weekend with work, and my co-workers and i wanna go OUT!! What’s going on saturday or sunday night? any DJs, live music, places to DANCE? we won’t be out of work until around 10:30.

Is total wine the best place to buy pumpkin beers? I love them and am looking for the best selection. Total wine didn’t have that many. Any recommendations on where to get a better selection? There used to be tons of them.
