Honestly restaurants not being reliable on listing their holiday closures is always a bummer 😅 I didn't make birthday/Labor Day plans, so any recommendations for places that're open?

when mercury music lounge was the avenue, i used to be able to park in that parking lot as my landlord also owned that and the bar. when he sold everything i remember setting up parking with the new owner (same guy who also owns mars bar) not sure if he still handles it but ive seen cars parking there again; does anyone know if that lot is still pay to park or is it open again?

Xfinity is offering me a great deal to migrate my mobile phone service to them (from AT&T) because I am already an Xfinity customer for internet service. From what I understand, Xfinity runs on the Verizon network. I'm game to make the switch for the $ but not until I am sure that Verizon mobile network coverage is solid here. I've never had any reception issues with AT&T. How is Verizon coverage in West Seattle? If it helps, I am by Lincoln Park. Thanks for any input.

Hi fellow Tacomans! Im a mid-30s woman looking for some local recommendations in the strength training realm. My goal is to build some lean muscle. I’m not necessarily looking for cardio (BMI is slightly underweight but working on it), but am hoping to feel more energized and generally stronger. My diet and overall health are good. I am too embarrassed to just get a gym membership because I don’t know how to use any of the equipment. I feel similarly about things like CrossFit or group circuit training; that I’d like the vibe/energy, but that I’m too much of a beginner. For reference- I cannot do a single push up. Years ago I had a personal trainer that I really liked.. we used her home gym, but she moved away. I also do well in group classes; I’ve tried Pilates but I feel like too much of a beginner and found it really hard. Open to recs in the Tacoma/FW area; my work schedule is really flexible so daytime classes are doable. Just looking for an easygoing/ kind vibes kind of program. Thanks!!

Current regulations require the plots to be at least 5,000 square feet, the new rules would allow lots as small as 2,000 square feet. The state law also requires cities to allow most small lot splits through an administrative process, meaning there would be no required public notice or review under a hearing examiner for most minor divisions of land. As a part of the changes to city code, the city would allow owners to divide and sell plots of land before landscaping or utilities have been built, rather than giving the city power to require construction of the amenities after a lot split. ~ Smaller lots, no hearing, no notice. You find out when the survey stakes show up next door.

Hey everyone, I went to school in Seattle but moved to Chicago for work. My partner and I are visiting this upcoming weekend and staying in South Lake Union. I know the food scene shifted quite a bit post-2020 and several of my old go-to spots have closed, so I’m looking for current recommendations. We're based in SLU, but happy to hop on transit or rideshare to nearby neighborhoods (Capitol Hill, Fremont, Ballard, Chinatown-ID, etc.). Here is what I’m looking for given some old favorites for reference: Coffee: In Chicago, I gravitate toward specialty spots like Sawada, Metric, and Espresso and Milk when I do go out for coffee, although I mostly pull my own shots at home. The nearest shop to our stay is 203°F Coffee Co (which I'll check out), and I used to enjoy Caffe Ladro. Which coffee places should we check out? Breakfast / Brunch: Sigh… I really miss Caffe Presse. Ramen: Loved **Betsutenjin** (RIP) for Hakata-style tonkotsu, and enjoyed **Nuna Ramen** in Fremont. Looking for standout broth and noodles. Sushi: Used to like Umi Sake House in Belltown and Kimi's in Fremont. Looking for solid nigiri/rolls or a mid-to-high tier sushi spot. Dim Sum: Din Tai Fung is probably on our to-go list. Hot Pot: Chengdu Memory, Haidilao Hotpot. Pho: Would love to know your absolute favorite bowl in the city right now. Appreciate any tips or hidden gems that have opened over the last couple of years!

Community centers, indoor pools, and recreation programs will be closed Monday, while parks and several outdoor facilities will remain open.

I’m hoping someone here knows about tenant rights in Tacoma (from my search of previous posts it seems like people do, but I didn’t find one with insight into this specific situation). We all know about the 60 day deadline for communication about lease renewal/non-renewal and rent increases. We know that the landlord doesn’t have to have a reason to issue a non-renewal if they do so before that deadline. We also know that if that deadline passes with no communication from the landlord, the lease becomes month to month at the end of its term. What I’m wondering is… then what? That 60 day deadline is about to pass for me, and so far I’ve been rudely blown off when I’ve asked the property management company when they might have info to give me about renewal or non-renewal, so if they don’t communicate before the deadline or the end of the lease, what do I do? After the lease changes to month to month, can they kick me out whenever? I love where I live, I’ve never been late on rent, and I don’t want to move. But this situation is scaring me. Is there anything I can do to protect myself from being kicked out, or do I have to just wait for them to make their decision? Thanks in advance. I’ll continue doing research as well.

California-based Cowboy Space is leasing a 291,035-square-foot industrial facility in Kent, Wash., to support the production of hardware for its planned constellation of AI data center satellites, according to the company that arranged the lease. "According to Newmark Research, the transaction is the largest industrial lease in the Puget Sound region year-to-date," Newmark, the real estate broker for the deal, said in a news release. ... The operation is expected to add 300 jobs, Newmark said. The Stampede constellation is one of several planned projects aimed at getting around the land, power and water constraints that have made ground-based AI data centers increasingly controversial. ~ The pitch is that orbit gets you around the land, power and water fights over data centers. Building the thing still takes 291,000 square feet of Kent and 300 people on the ground here.
