Now I know we aren't exactly known for good drivers, but come on people, surely we can do better than whatever this was

Have a group of 6-8 people, half from out of town, coming and need to accommodate for dinner. There is 1 vegetarian but flexible! Looking for somewhere middle of the road - not bar food, but not super fancy that could easily accommodate this group or have not a crazy wait for a table. Areas: Fremont, Ballard, Queen Anne, Wallingford, Phinney, trying to stick around that central-ish area TYIA!

SDOT has issued a proposal that Queen Anne Ave N between Galer and McGraw will be paid parking ($4/hour during most of the day) in early 2027. If you think this is an unnecessary overreach that will hurt local businesses, push people to park in the neighborhood, and generally make Queen Anne less hospitable, please let them know here: https://forms.cloud.microsoft/pages/responsepage.aspx?id=RR7meOtrCUCPmTWdi1T0G9l66rG2gXtLjcsu2rWvOp1UQkI4WTRVNEsxV0pOMDhWMjAyV1pQRVo3VC4u&route=shorturl More info about the proposal can be found here: https://www.seattle.gov/transportation/projects-and-programs/programs/parking-program/community-access-and-parking-program/queen-anne-ave-n

Hi! Any suggestions for a first time visitor who has two full days to see what already looks like a beautiful place? Places, required advanced reservations/tickets, dining spots? I’d love for it to be walkable, but I have a car and if your public transportation is good, that’s okay too. Also, what’s your early November weather, generally? It’s generally in the mid 60°s to 50°s where I live that time of year. I can obviously research online but I’d love suggestions from locals. Thanks!

https://c.org/gbPjwgKwgs As you may have heard, Hazen High School canceled their football season after playing only four games this season. Hazen hired James Billotti in 2025 despite zero experience as an athletic director. The football season would have been saved if Hazen had a competent, experienced athletic director. The new football coach hired for the 2026 season was handpicked by James Billotti. After being initially impressed with the new coach’s plans to win, the players were shocked at the his lack of professionalism, student support, and basic enthusiasm for the team, so they turned to Billotti for support. They received nothing in return. This is the second Hazen program Billotti has dismantled with one of his handpicked coaches. in 2025, he fired the longtime dance coach who had just led the team to a state championship. The coach he replaced her with bullied the dancers and lied to parents. She was only able to retain one dancer after the transition. Nearly 200 students across football, cheer, marching band, and dance have been directly impacted by Billotti‘s inability to lead. Happy to answer questions and hoping for your support on the petition.

Hi, does anyone have a septic tank pumping company they'd recommend in the Lynnwood area? Thanks for any input!

I come from the east coast where there is no papa Murphy pizza. I don’t get it? Why take pizza home to cook? People who like it..why? Out of curiosity. Pizza dough typically is a high hydration dough and needs a very hot oven to get proper desired outcome..which is crispy and airy which happens from the hot heat and water. Not possible in home oven. Why not just get a frozen pizza? My curiosity is not to fight people. I thinks it’s an interesting business model and one that probably makes some money as you don’t need pizza ovens to operate. I just don’t see the appeal. Tell me why they exist. Also..any good wood fire places around the Renton area??

Hi all, My wife and I are new homeowners in Lynnwood. Our home has an old oil furnace. We just had it filled for the first time and we were quoted a price of $7.20/galloon. I know things are expensive these days but this felt high. Curious if this is in line with what others are paying? If not, any other provider recommendations would be welcomed.

Market and Ballard Ave. Curious to know if these flyers have shown up anywhere else or if this was a targeted act. As a gay man and former Catholic, I'm used to seeing this nonsense, but knowing there might be neighbors putting this stuff is always a bummer.

After my Patagonia trip, I fell in love with the Argentina sandwich cookies. Anybody know where I could find something like that around here? I have a hankering
