Opioids specifically are very scary just because of their mechanism of action,” says Marecki. “A lot of times people are accidentally addicted to them. They get prescribed something as a pain medication, and it’s the gateway into harder opioids.” Researchers in UW’s Pravetoni Research Group are harnessing the power of the immune system to prevent overdoses before they happen and loosen the grip of addiction. And now, the lab plans to ask the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for the go-ahead to move their fentanyl vaccine into human trials, a major step in the vaccine testing and approval process. MORE

Hi all, just sharing my experience out here so that everyone else knows to avoid dining at Shaburina! I briefly worked here and quite frankly enjoyed it, but ended up leaving at the end of January. During my time here, my paychecks were always late. After I quit, Sabrina the owner, would stop replying to me or give me excuses for why I haven’t gotten paid yet. When I asked her husband, Terrance, he would say he doesn’t know anything and would just talk to her. That obviously didn’t end up happening, so now I’m publicly letting everyone know NOT to support this small business because they take advantage of their employees! I am not the only who hasn’t gotten paid yet and this is not the FIRST time I’ve posted about it publicly. The last message I received from her was on August 4. Since then I’ve sent five follow up messages. To my knowledge, she’s now starting a new ‘K-ERA FEST,’ here in Seattle which I’m utterly baffled by. She can’t even pay her employees yet here she is starting a Korean themed festival. Do not support Sabrina or Terrance or this event, they are scammers. If anyone knows of an affordable lawyer, please let me know. DOL has not done anything about my case, and it seems like I’ll be needing a lawyer to pursue legal action. If you know of any other businesses taking advantage of other people, please share. SUPPORT SMALL BUSINESSES BUT DONT SUPPORT SCAMMERS!!

I was a BIG fan of Zoey's and wanted to cry when it closed. Now I can't find another spot that quite hits the mark. Who has a hidden gem to save my craving?

How many of you fellow Satellites have had supposedly "reputable" dentists recommend deep cleanings when they weren't necessary?

Amazon plans to vacate another South Lake Union office, continuing its retreat from leased space across Seattle. Amazon has been a tenant in the 81,000-square-foot office at 428 Westlake Avenue N since 2016, but declined a five-year extension on its lease, which runs through March 2027, according to a Cushman & Wakefield report obtained by The Puget Sound Business Journal.

Crystal Clean, a national waste management company, with a location in Lakewood near the Y, faces over $1 million in Washington state fines for alleged mishandling of used oil, solvents and other toxic materials. Last week, the state Department of Ecology fined Crystal Clean $1.04 million after its Lakewood location was found to have violated multiple state laws. It’s the highest penalty Ecology has imposed on a single company so far this year. https://washingtonstatestandard.com/2026/09/09/hazardous-waste-management-company-hit-with-1m-washington-state-fine/ https://ecology.wa.gov/about-us/who-we-are/news/2026/sep-2-crystal-clean-inc-penalized-1-million-for-hazardous-waste-management-violations

Pharmacist at Walgreens on 85th in Kirkland refused to give me a COVID shot today. She said it "wasn't safety tested for those under 65/immune compromised", that "the one she had was "only" for those over 65/immune compromised", and then suggested I "try CVS or Safeway to see if they have the one for my age group". Went to CVS, their Pharmacist called BS and gave me the shot no issues. If it's Walgreens policy to only give it to 65+/immune compromised OWN IT. Past experience has been they were NOT applying this policy. Either way don't LIE to me as a medical professional. If you personally agree with the FDA's/this administration's position on this vaccine but it isn't store policy, don't force your beliefs on me. Almost went back in and called her out on this BS. Just sharing so all are aware.
