I found a crystal bead bracelet a couple blocks from Genesee Park. If you can describe it to me, I can return it to you. Otherwise, I'll drop it off at the nearest police station.

My license expires this month and I’ve been under the impression since I got my license ~6 years ago that I can renew it online. Like when I was exchanging my permit for a license it was all over the DoL website that I could eventually renew my license online. Hell, even the notice card I received said I could renew online. So this morning I went to renew my license online, and it said I can’t. It says in the portal that “You can’t complete this transaction because: You are ineligible to renew online.” Is it because I wear corrective lenses? Is it because I went in person last year to update my address? I did receive a traffic ticket 2 years ago but that was paid and resolved, and shouldn’t impact my ability to renew online, right? I have to wait ~1 week after my license expires for an in person appointment (the soonest appointment within a 1 hour drive) OR I can drive 2.5 hours to Moses Lake next week. Neither option is ideal and I’m a little upset that I have to go in person. Would it be worth it to call their help number on Tuesday and ask for further information or should I just suck it up? Edit: the only thing I can think of as to why I have to do it in person is because I switch from my permit to license online. This was during COVID, so I didn’t have a choice in the matter. If that’s the reason, then that’s really fucking stupid.

I just bought 2 more bonsai trees from @bonsaistop to follow the one I got from them 3 weeks ago. Please anyone with tips lets me know bc I’m new to this.

We drove down this morning to try a different farmer’s market than our usual Seattle area markets. Proctor Farmers Market was a hit! Highly recommend. The craft level of vendors was similar to the Port Townsend market [amazing this time of year, FYI]. And, all the vendors were exceptionally nice and engaging. Also ran into a friend from work [who apparently lives in the neighborhood!!!]

Fall is coming fast and wanted to give a last push to offer some large format film portraits! I got to do some wonderful portraits a few weeks ago and loved how they turned out. Currently offering two 8x10 film shots for $150 which includes digital scans and contact prints of each shot. Photos of past portraits posted (with their permission) Send a message if you’d like to set up an appointment :)

Found this note book of someone's lyrics and journal entries and drawing. Tell me the name under the drawing and I'll DM you where it was found and where we left it.

This has happened many times especially in stores when browsing aisles. Been living here a year, before this in Wisconsin and Illinois. I’ve noticed if I’m unintentionally in someone’s way instead of saying excuse me, they’ll just stand there awkwardly until I move. I’m typically aware of my surroundings but it seems unreasonable to be 100% on my A game when shopping at the store. I’ve gotten dirty looks for saying excuse me in kind tone. I’m used to an interaction that goes like this “Ope, ‘scuse me” then “Ope I’m sorry” then “thanks”. And everyone moves on. What’s the proper etiquette here?

Bonsai guy is back in Issaquah! Had to stop and ended up buying 2 🤣. I guess this is my new thing lol. Said he will be around till 7:30-8.

Looking to make the jump next summer. I currently reside in Ohio and have been considering the move to the PNW for a while. I’ve loved my time in the Midwest, but wanting to try living somewhere new. I have visited WA several times over the years to see friends. I’m not interested in living in Seattle, but Federal Way and Tacoma have both been recommended to me for places to stay. Far enough from the city, but not too far. What’s a realistic salary that I should have if I wanted to live comfortably in those areas? I plan on starting my job search mid-spring. I am shooting to have 40k in savings by next summer. Just wanting to hear you guys’ experiences.

There was a wallet found on a northbound lightrail train. I turned it in to transit security at the Westlake Station a little before 2 pm.
