Hey guys, new to the group - I drove up to Lake Sammamish to cover the KingCo Class Races - essentially the cross country opener for these athletes. Issaquah, Liberty (Issaquah), Mercer Island, Inglemoor, and more competed on a shorter 2 mile course (versus the regular 5000m). The 4A State Champion Issaquah girls look strong top to bottom. Check out my recap if you're interested: https://www.russell-moore.com/blog/kingco-class-races-2026-recap

I hope this is allowed, I can't find anywhere else to ask! I've got an office/gaming chair repair I was working on... and it's stuck. I don't mean a little stuck, or WD40 kinda stuck. I mean a sledgehammer didn't get it loose. I have the replacement parts. I've been without my main computer chair for weeks now. And I've tried calling around everywhere to find somebody willing to help - Auto repair, machine shops, maker spaces... Is there any chance somebody has a bench vise, some deep penetrating oil, and 5 minutes of their time? I'd be absurdly appreciative. Pressure-fit nitrogen gas cylinder from an office chair. ...they don't make this base any more for reasons that should be pretty obvious...

I'm getting quotes, but the prices are... Interesting... Three quotes so far: All three are flat rate quotes (like, they are not actually estimating time and materials) All three quotes estimate the work to be 3-4 hours total (breaker panel is in the garage, run conduit to opposite wall, run wire bolt on charger) Main breaker has plenty of space and capacity All three include permitting All three are quoting >$2,000 without including the charger There's threads in the last 6-12 months of individuals paying A LOT less than this and the charger is included in the cost. In these threads, $2,000+ were installs that required trenching, replacing panels, or other infrastructure work that I do not require. Is $2,000 for an EV charger install the new normal? Or does somebody have a line on an EV Charger installer or electrician that is more reasonable?

Doing some Swedish Death Cleaning and came across these. I believe this was hand-written by the main person who would take orders and chat up guests for a now gone BBQ place around Fremont. Roro’s. I believe her name was Kelly— all it took was a compliment to the chef and she offered up a copy of their recipe, written on scraps of their recycled menus. Enjoy!

I own a small business on Capitol Hill and I'm hoping to find someone to deep clean the shop once a week and someone (could be the same person or someone different) to wash our front windows & door monthly. Does anyone have any recommendations? I'd really prefer to hire an individual or local business if possible. Thanks!!

This is probably one of the weirder wedding vendor requests on here, but my fiancé and I want to surprise our guests with a random character appearance during our reception 😂 Wedding is not until June 2027 in Tacoma area, and we’re looking for someone for about 30min-1hr. We’re considering: Michael Jackson impersonator/performer Shrek & Fiona duo Edward Cullen & Bella Swan duo Kanye West Drake Basically, we want someone who will fully commit to the bit, interact with guests, take photos, and ideally do some kind of funny entrance/performance. Our wedding itself is pretty romantic/formal, so we think having something completely unserious show up during the reception would be hilarious. Does anyone know of performers/character actors in the Seattle/Tacoma area who do something like this? Also open to other ridiculous character suggestions if you’ve seen something similar at a wedding lol.

I love using the InterUrban trail which ends in Everett. And I love using the Centennial trail which begins in Snohomish. But to get from one trail to the next I find I need to shuttle my bike with the rack on my car. Anyone ever done the connection without using their car? Is it safe?? Are there sidewalks even????

I live in the area of Park 16 and the pet policy on the website states "You love your pets....we do too" They collect a fee and that seems to be it. They should require them be fixed and cared for but they don't, or collect the fees and put them to use addressing the problem of unfixed animals on a community. Most of the people in the complex are great people and I have talked with a quite a few, but not all. The nature trail in the back is where things get dumped including unwanted cats. I have tried to help and have trapped and gotten fixed approximately 20 cats just from my yard. I recently found kittens on the trail huddled together usually they bolt as I approach but 2 of them started crawling on me. So I took them home and set up a pen for them, the next day I assume the mother? was laying where they were and not responding at all. A friend went down and got her without any resistance. I have called the organizations that are there to help but they are overwhelmed and underfunded, they will help but it takes time and persistence and mostly they try and refer you somewhere else. before someone asks why I can't just keep them I have taken in 5 already and feed one feral that just didn't take off. So my yard has a group of cats that have kept others from my place but the surrounding area is awash in unwanted animals.

The Route 40 corridor project is nearing completion, but several final repairs and improvements are still planned in Ballard and Fremont this fall.

Is it still there? I used to love the pizza, and the staff was wonderful.
