We both ended up waiting at the paint matching desk at the Bothell Home Depot this evening around 5:45 PM. We caught each other's eyes a few times. I wish I would have given a proper smile, but I was a little frustrated as about four people skipped ahead of me (not anyone's fault, just one guy in the paint department and it was totally understaffed). You had brunette hair, stood around 5'4", and were wearing a multicolored t-shirt crop top and dark gray sweatpants, picking out some nice light greens and yellows for a project. Me: 6'1", short brown hair, blue eyes, navy t-shirt, athletic build. If this sounds like you and you'd want to grab a coffee or chat sometime, drop a message with a detail of the store employee that was helping us. He was noticeably different than the usual Home Depot employee.

My family is visiting Port Angeles for the weekend, driving back to Seattle tomorrow before we fly home to Wisconsin Tuesday. It's pretty late to ask this question, but on our way here we noticed the Hood Canal Bridge will have closures tomorrow starting at 11am, and to expect delays up to an hour. What I'm wondering is, between that and regular Labor Day traffic, when should we get out of P.A. to get to West Seattle before 1:00 to meet a local friend for lunch? Will traffic just start backing up around Bremerton or Tacoma and getting away by 9:30 should be safe for clearing the bridge at least? Going all the way down to Olympia and hitting I-5 sooner is not recommended, correct?

Just kinda curious if there are any parkour groups in the area. I used to help run a team and have been practicing on and off for a while now. It's easier when training with a group so I was curious what the scene here is like. Also, if there's not much of a scene but people want to meet up I can organize get togethers!

People in Seattle who do metal/woodworking, what are your thoughts on the availability of shops or fab lab options in the city? I’m moving to Seattle soon and want to be able to continue working on wood and metal projects.

I’m sure this has been asked plenty of times before so I’m sorry beforehand. We are going to be in Seattle for the first time September 16 & 17. We are obviously going to do the space needle and chihuly gardens but I would like to know what should we definitely do while visiting. We will be staying downtown. Food? Events? Shopping? Just all around things we should check out in our short time.

This drug encampment rotates week to week. They take over sidewalks and are a blight to the neighborhood. Why has this city normalized this behavior?

I have emailed WSDOT and called SDOT, both so far have declined to replace it or investigate further and it has been downed for 4+ weeks.

Hello!! I work in Queen Anne and am wanting to start doing a workout class in that area. I find if I commute all the way home I don’t have the motivation to get to the gym. Any recommendations for good places that have reasonably priced classes? Am pretty open to any type of class (I’ve done yoga, boxing, cycle, and more before) but it’s been a while since I’ve done anything so something with low/moderate difficulty would be preferred. Thank you!

Walked past the former space of Books4cars. So empty... And no more Bender from Futurama watching over the the good people of Columbia City from the roof.

I just got back from a run in McKinley and there were bugs EVERYWHERE. My forehead was covered with them like I was a car that just got off a roadtrip. Is this usual here?
