Hi all, We're moving this Friday and need loaders/unloaders for a few hours. Anybody have any recommendations for good, local companies or services? The local company we used (and liked) when we first moved up here a few years ago has apparently gone out of business. Before I start submitting quote forms online and getting potentially bombarded by national salespeople at all hours, I was wondering if anyone had good experiences with local services. The specs: It's a very local move. We're loading up a 20ft U-Haul in our old place and then unloading at the new one less than a mile away. We've already moved most of our stuff; just need to maneuver the bulkier items (couch, dining table, a couple beds, etc.)

Hi!!! I’m visiting in October for my birthday (October 15-18) and I’m just curious about weather. Should I bring rain coats and umbrella? Is it colder? I’ve been to Seattle before but it was during the spring, I was also a teenager the last time I went. I was also told to visit Leavenworth for some cute spots (I’m mid 20’s) but also to wanted to get insights on that city! I’m going with 2 friends! TIA! Edit: I do have a rental car!!

Do people drop crab pots off the docks on Ruston Way? If so, do they catch crab?

People in my neighborhood have been parking too close to my driveway and make it difficult for me to enter/exit my driveway while parking. The rules on the SDOT website say ""No person shall stand or park a vehicle in front of a public or private driveway within a street or alley or in front of or in an alley entrance or within five feet (5') of the end of a constructed driveway return or alley entrance return, or if none, within five feet (5') of the projection of the edge of the driveway or alley."" Given this, is it 5ft from A or B in my picture attached to this post? I suspect it is A but wanted to confirm with people here before painting the curb yellow to warn street parkers. Thanks!

The lawsuit alleges that the companies scraped hundreds of thousands of Seattle Times and Newsday articles, bypassing paywalls and ignoring terms of service, to train their AI models. The complaint Friday includes examples of ChatGPT reproducing Seattle Times and Newsday journalism nearly word for word, including an 88-word verbatim stretch from The Seattle Times' Pulitzer-winning coverage of the Boeing 737 MAX crashes, generated when a user prompted the chatbot with just the article's headline and web address. The Seattle Times Union, which represents more than 160 newspaper employees, said Friday it supports the lawsuit but that in ongoing contract negotiations the company has refused to guarantee it won't replace non-reporter newsroom jobs with AI. ~ Suing your own funders took nerve. Guaranteeing your own newsroom's jobs apparently takes more.

I was told to repost to all the neighborhoods nearby, I think I’m understanding that right. If not allowed, please remove.

I’m looking to buy some new clothes without spending too much.. Where do you guys usually go around Seattle for affordable but decent quality clothes? Thrift stores are welcome too

"Yes, lawmakers did not do enough this past session to provide meaningful tax relief to those who need it most. But a flawed initiative stapled over faulty policy does not fix the state’s budget problems. Don’t toss the tax. Vote no." Reposting because the comments immediately noted (and I agree) that the title from the Times was misleading. Here's the unpaywalled version too: https://archive.is/uNv8C

I’ve been wondering about the Ray’s dock for some time. I’ve never seen it used for anything. It does have a boat lift. Was it used for something specific in the past?
