Please help us locate our stolen WOMBI e-bike. It’s grey and was stolen from our entryway on York Road South in Mt. Baker (just east of John Muir elementary) while I was clearing the garage to make space for it. We are heartbroken and this will likely end up being very expensive for us. The bike’s name is Shaw. Please let me know if you see it or hear anything about it. Our Police Report number is 2026-915279

One of my neighbors has one of those giant old Ford vans that he uses exclusively for storage. It never gets driven and I’ve only ever seen him go into it to get signs for his business out of the back. He always notices the orange abandoned stickers, waits until the day on the notice, and then moves the van for 24 hours before parking it somewhere on our street again. It never moves unless the city tags it (I’ve seen it go 8 months without moving before). Is there any way to get it dealt with permanently? Calling it in as abandoned is basically an exercise in futility.

I came across the grave of Brian P. Welch (1991–2008) while doing some genealogy research in the Tacoma/Key Peninsula area. I got curious about him, but even with Ancestry, I haven't been able to find much beyond basic records. Does anyone here happen to remember Brian from the Tacoma area, know what happened to him, or have a yearbook that might include a photo or memorial page for him? I'm not looking for information about his family or for anyone to contact relatives on my behalf, as I have no interest in contacting or bothering them. I'm only interested in Brian himself and anything people may personally remember about him. If you knew him and would rather not comment publicly, you're welcome to DM me. Thanks! I know it's been a long time, but I figured a local sub might be worth asking.

Just flew incredibly low over the neighborhood, following 12th Ave north toward Volunteer Park. Anyone know why?

Hello Community, I was living in a rental condo property(Insignia at Belltown ) for the last 1.5 years. When I left the house, I got a $1,000 bill for a stain on the Bathroom Countertop. I was using this Tray - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CLCZQV95 . I suspect water beneath the tray might have caused etching on the marble surface. The property management company has been saying that they had to resurface the entire countertop. I'm not sure if it could have been simply cleaned. Additionally, I'm not sure if they should charge me $1000 for this damage. In my opinion, this should not be counted as negligence, misuse, or damage beyond typical wear and tear because we were using a normal toiletry tray. Any suggestions on what I can do to reduce the $$ amount? Could I contest this somewhere? Attaching the photos(before and after) - https://imgur.com/a/xdf0AgX

I've seen self studying for a while, but looking for an actual tutor/teacher to aid in learning. Was thinking of potentially a couple times a month, but up in the air. Wanted to see if there was anything local! thanks!

I’m thinking of going mini golfing there with some friends (all adults) and have heard very mixed reviews. If you’ve been there, be honest: is it worth the money? Pros and cons?

At 4:10 pm we are leaving Kirkland to get on 405 north, and we are merging with other traffic to approach the dog bone round about on 85th. Traffic is in a single lane and the right lane has just about ended. In my rear view mirror I observe some older guy in a white infinity driving to the front of the zipper merge, cut in front the entire single lane line, and proceeded to park his car sideways in front of mine and block the entire line of traffic. Me and my husband are sitting here like WTH is he doing. He is shaking his fist and screaming obscenities at me and I layed on my horn. Then he acted like he was going to get out of his car, and get physical. Then guess he changed his mind and went on his way. I know for certain that I didn't interfere with this man in any way. I am getting a dash cam as soon as possible because this shit is getting out of hand. I will defend myself if need be.

Yes, I am aware that I don’t have to order. That’s not the point of my post. Whenever I order these days, it seems it takes 60-90 mins to deliver, after $15-20 fees (before tip and that’s even after having dash pass). The driver has 1-2 deliveries before mine and the food arrives cold. I usually have to microwave it before I start eating. I don’t get delivery often, when I do it’s after a 12-15 hour shift when I cannot cook, and don’t have food in the kitchen anyway. It’s just disappointing what these have turned into. Ordering delivery food in general used to be accessible with a small flat fee. These companies have created a situation where the restaurant, customer and even the driver all lose and they collect so much money. Are there any other delivery alternatives at all? Even the pizza places use these apps and it’s just more of the same. Edit: people still continue to be super condescending. I am aware I could walk. I am also aware I could meal prep, or order extra. Delivery is for when I am too tired to do any of those other, better options, and don’t have any other food in the fridge. I know this is the internet but man sometimes people are disrespectful for no reason at all.

Going I-5 Northbound onto 18 Eastbound in the morning = AWFUL. There is no traffic joining onto 18, the slowdown makes absolutely NO SENSE AT ALL. There is literally no obstruction to the free flow onto 18. Going 18 Westbound onto I-5 Southbound in the afternoon = AWFUL. The flow onto I-5 is smooth but the ramp to get there is like being trapped in quicksand. There are two lanes but one is for Enchanted Pkwy and IS NOT a merging lane but people attempt aggressive merging here. I've never seen so much road rage in a specific area every single day. I admit the signage for this freeway entrance is not clear until you get super close to the ramp though. After 20 years of living in Washington, this is the worst commute I've ever experienced and it is all because of this section. It's infuriating and I feel like just some small design tweaks could fix this. (And no I can't change jobs, job market is awful and I can't sell my house right now to move. I don't want this commute but I have to do it and there are no transit options that make this commute better.)
