You guys have been so welcoming and encouraging of this old fart. I played my heart out all day today and not a negative word in sight. God I love Kirkland!

28M here. I’m a former engineer in the tech field who recently decided to switch careers into healthcare. I’m currently working as a medical assistant and preparing for med school. Looking to meet some people in or around the Seattle area who are also in healthcare/medicine. Would be nice to make some new friends! Feel free to DM me.

Saw this little smokey grey shorthaired bunny curled up/shaking in the alley of the beige ground floor apartments between 16th/15th and Holden :(! Couldn't get super close as I was on foot and he was pretty skittish and stressed out. Of course it's also possible someone just dumped him outside, but hopefully he has a family looking for him!!

Pls delete if this isn’t allowed. Are there any diabetics nearby in Capitol Hill? I ran out of Omnipods and have no backup. I have insulin but no way of getting it in me. Does anyone have an extra pod or pen?? Thank you so much.

I may be preaching to the choir here, but I’ve been looking forward to this gym opening in the Highlands since late last fall when they originally announced they’d be opening in Spring 2026. Then it got pushed to early summer, and now we’re basically heading into fall and the delays just keep happening. I’m not trying to sound like I’m complaining, because I know construction and permitting can take time but I’ve genuinely been looking forward to having this gym nearby for almost a year now. I’ve called them every couple of months since April, and it’s always been some variation of “waiting on a permit.” Now it sounds like they’re finally waiting on their last certificate of occupancy, which is obviously another delay even though they announced their “opening week” was this past week. I’m not originally from the area - I moved here almost five years ago and definitely consider Renton home at this point, but it honestly has me wondering: is it really this difficult to open a business in Renton? It seems like there are so many hoops to jump through between demolition permits, construction permits, inspections, and now a certificate of occupancy (whatever that actually entails lol). Anyone else been following this or have any insight into what’s been taking so long? I’m just curious if this is normal for a project like this in Renton, or if Fitness 19 has been dealing with some unusually bad luck with the permitting/construction process. Anyways, I’m really looking forward to an awesome gym in the area! LA fitness should step their game up and renovate in my opinion. Hopefully a really cool gym around the highlands can potentially attract a Chipotle

Got to see these on my walk to the locks today - down in Interbay!

My go-to favorites are Church Cantina, Gigo’s, Side Piece, and Buddy’s. Problem is they’re all closed on Mondays which happens to be my day off. Please tell me your favorite local Monday spot, preferably not a chain. Prefer east or south Tacoma but willing to travel for the right stuff.

Hi there! Over the last year or so I've amassed a collection of gifted pants which are just a little too small on me. They are all heavy work pants made of denim or canvas and the people that I've contacted all say the material is too heavy for them to work with. Where in town can I find an alterations specialist who can work on heavy fabrics? Any advise welcome! Thanks!

Just learned Petco in Issaquah is closing down on the 21st. Anyone know if someone has already claimed that location?

Hello, I'm looking for a good luthier in the city if anyone has recs. I've got a couple guitars I want to have set up and one I want to do a pickup swap + install locking tuners on. I know they do this at Guitar Center, but Ron is retiring and the new guy didn't do a very good job last time I was in, so I'd like to find somebody else. Thank you!
