Hopefully this is allowed and I know it’s a long shot. My AirPod pro case fell out of my pocket while riding the C around 4pm today. Got off at Seneca, it was heading to west Seattle. It’s just the case, AirPods are in my ears so I least I have music! You’ll know it’s mine because it actually has my Reddit username on it.

My dog responds really well to the turn method (you literally turn and walk the opposite way the moment they start to pull), and she only pulls when we're going to places she loves, like Seattle Center and Olympic Sculpture Park. I get so self-conscious doing U-turns over and over up and down the block. I don't know why. Maybe I'm thinking people are wondering wtf I'm doing, especially during tourist season with traffic right there. Tell me I'm being stupid for letting my anxiety get in the way of better leash manners with my dog. Edit: Amazing, I appreciate everyone who gave their opinions; I feel a lot better, and ty for the newfound confidence

I was thinking this week, but forecast shows we are still ranging from 70-80 next week. Maybe when September ends hopefully. I want cold weather back badly

Hi all! I lost my thin, silver bracelet somewhere along this stretch of E Pine st along the south sidewalk from Bellevue to Broadway, or the north side from Broadway to 15th. I know it’s a shot in the dark, but offering a reward if anyone finds it. It has sentimental value from my girlfriend and I’s recent anniversary. I don’t have a picture of it but it’s a fairly thin, light silver bracelet.

I’m reposting without the link to the form email (that had data capture apparently- oops!). SPS has announced they are capping recess at 30 minutes total for the day maximum for all elementary students - this includes kindergartners and first graders. I’m hoping fellow SPS parents, teachers, former teachers, and current or former SPS students will email SPS leadership to request a change in this policy, particularly for kids in 3rd grade or younger. Their reasoning it to have more classroom time for ELA (English language). However, I don’t agree with that for young children - they need the recess time in order to focus on learning. More time in the classroom for a kindergarten isn’t going to result in magically improving learning and retention. And some studies suggest the lack of frequent breaks for play actually negatively impacts learning. Emails for the superintendent and SPS board are: [email protected] , [email protected] , [email protected] , [email protected] , [email protected] , [email protected] , [email protected] , [email protected] , [email protected] I know there is also an SPS subreddit, but I hadn’t seen this in r/seattle yet and I’m hoping more folks add their voice to the concerns about this change. A quick Google search will bring up some form emails and more data. However, during the strike it didn’t seem like form emails were getting a response so I’d suggest anyone who is able to send a quick 4-5 sentence email asking SPS to re-instate flexibility for schools for K-3rd grade to have more than the state minimum recess of 30 minutes would be more effective.

Did someone hear a loud bang near Greenlake area? Electricity went out as well for a while.

I have been waiting to make this post because I wanted to wait until I moved out of my apartment before sharing. Targa Real Estate/604 Sheridan Apartments is a terrible rental that you should think twice about before considering renting. We rented a 2 bed/1 bath which is advertised as 989 square feet. We were not able to look at the rental in person before moving. Unfortunately, after moving in we realized the place seemed really small. We measured the entire apartment INCLUDING the balcony AND the uninhabitable public hallway outside of our apartment just to give the rental as much benefit of the doubt as we possibly could. We did the math twice just to be certain. The total square footage is much closer to 650 square feet. If you do live here, you could probably use this marketing scam to get out of your lease per a lawyer we talked with. Next, we had a few maintenance issues that we reported over and over again and got no response. The property manager also changed 2-3 times in ONE year. As part of your lease, you are supposed to submit written info 60 days before you want to vacate the property. I did this and did not hear back so I reached out a few different ways and found out the property manager had changed so the email I sent was never received. Thankfully, they did take the notice. Then move out came around. The property manager went over the place with a fine toothed comb. We had meticulously cleaned the place and were very clean renters, yet we were charged for "light cleaning". We were also charged for "wall scuffs" which were very minor. I would consider all of that within normal wear and tear. We ultimately only getting $200 of our >$1200 security deposit back. They also wanted to give it back to us in the form of a prepaid card that came with substantial fees. We requested a check be sent and they did send a check but it required asking which not everyone may do...

Does anyone know what’s going on? Huge police presence with guns on N 85th near aurora Ave.

New mom to TPS (Sherman on Monday) and it’s been quite a ride with before and after care. Never got sent info about signing up, couldn’t find out how to sign up after numerous searches, finally a friend whose husband is a teacher tracked down a phone number. We applied, said our immunization was out of date, it wasn’t, but it had Dec 2025 (December kiddo), not Jan 2026 so sent in a new one, now we are pending active with a 7-10 day process time and school starts on Monday… I’ve called twice today with no answer and no call back and they close at 4:30. Anyone else go through this and have any insight? Are we just screwed this first week?

Come on out to The Sunset tonight for an all-local bill! Watch the Hawks game in the front bar and then head to the back to catch The Royal Firecrackers/Guest Directors and the Lichen Hearts! Doors at 7, music starts around 7:30.
