Hi, I have a Premera Coverage, and I'm looking for urologist recommendations for phimosis that I need to get sorted. I'm not too familiar with the US conventions (EU national here) - it seems that I would require some sort of referral to get in? So yeah, either way looking to get some good doctor recommendations in or around Seattle for the same and if I require a referral, how to go about it? Thanks!!

I'm looking for local Seattle businesses that carry natural cosmetic products, particularly businesses that are environmentally and socially conscious. Boutiques, salons, natural good stores, or anywhere else all work. I'm new to the area and am finding navigating all the options in the city to be overwhelming! For context, I work with a small nonprofit that works with rural communities in an African country on rainforest restoration. Part of that involves producing a cosmetic product from a native plant and bringing it to the US to raise money for the program overall. Not sharing any more details to avoid self-promotion, but I'm hoping to find businesses around Seattle that might be interested in this kind of project. Any tips or suggestions are much appreciated!

I'm visiting from the east coast the first week of November. I am staying in Ballard. This will be my only visit to Seattle. Interested in the "must see" activities like Space Needle but also in something unique and even something like a local board game night

Hi guys! I recently moved here a month ago and was wondering what neighborhoods or streets are the best for fall aesthetics? I really like fall and have always wanted to live in a neighborhood that feels like the movie Hocus Pocus with a small town feel.

I’m a little short on money and heard you can donate to places for points to redeem gift cards and some places for money. What places gives the best compensation? I’d like to make it a regular thing. Thanks for the help I’m b pos btw

This cat was found passed away, wrapped up in paper on the sidewalk on 21st ave west near Larch way in Lynnwood, in front of 21109. It is a small tabby with a blue collar. Not a kitten, but small and skinny. Is this your cat? It seems to have been run over. Please spread the word to your neighbors. This kitty deserves a peaceful rest I am waiting on the side of the street for the owner to come collect it. If no one comes and collects it before I have to leave, I'll put it underneath a tree on the same property it was found in front of.

Seattle is a corpse. Dead, died. Please enjoy these post apocalyptic photos I took of the ruins of Lake Washington at Seward Park, yesterday.

If you’re wondering why housing in Washington is getting harder to find and even harder to afford, look at what happened when Olympia passed House Bill 1217. Far left politicians promised it would protect tenants, but the hidden mechanics are actively crushing new construction and freezing repairs on older buildings across the state. Why would a person invest in building a new mobile home park (the best housing for fixed and low income folks) when you are guaranteed to lose money? Why would a landlord spend tens of thousands to repair an apartment building if they can't increase the rents to pay for it? The biggest issue is how the law treats standard apartments versus mobile home and RV parks—and in the process, it completely crippled Washington's most affordable housing. APARTMENTS: For standard apartments, the rent cap sits at 9.68% for 2026. While brand-new apartment builds get a 12-year grace period before the cap kicks in, major renovations and rehabs get zero exemption. If an owner wants to buy a rundown complex and sink real money into modernizing it, they can’t re-price the units to recover those costs. The result is simple: nobody remodels, and older buildings just sit there and deteriorate. MOBILE HOMES AND RV PARKS: Mobile home and long-term RV parks were slapped with a strict, permanent 5% cap—no inflation adder, no sunset date, and zero exemption for new builds. When property taxes, insurance, and utility costs in Washington are jumping way faster than 5% a year, no private developer can make the math work to open a new park. On top of that, the state Attorney General is already handing out massive penalties—like a $400,000 fine on Suntides RV Park in Yakima County over notice timelines. Small operators are being pushed to the brink. INVESTMENT LEAVES FOR IDAHO AND TEXAS: Washington’s 12-year exemption on new apartment construction is shorter than California’s and Oregon’s 15-year windows. Institutional buyers know that an asset in year 8 or 10 is about to run into a strict regulatory ceiling, which tanks the property's future value. Lenders are tightening up, and developers are simply taking their money to states without rent caps. In Longview, a park that had a $7 million offer before the law passed saw the buyer drop their bid to $4.9 million almost overnight. When you cap revenue below the rate of inflation and remove any incentive to upgrade older properties, you don't magically get lower rent. You just get less housing, worse conditions, and higher costs for everyone trying to find a place to live. Now, local cities are forced to pass emergency zoning bans just to stop park owners from shutting down and selling off the land entirely. Hypocrite Government Bob Ferguson then put $244 million that goes into a "Task Force" (aka his donors and buddies) to supposedly address the housing shortage he created. Share this to spread the word on what's really driving Washington's housing supply into the ground. I am an investor and I know a lot of investors, and all of our money will be flowing to Idaho or Texas or other states. Would you want to invest here if you are guaranteed to lose money?
