I’m planning to move here after few months and I’m a college student. Anyways I can make friends and socialize because I want people I can hangout with and stuff. Would really love to hear from people living in Seattle.

I’ve lived in the Seattle area for a while, but I feel like I’ve barely scratched the surface of the city 😂 I’ve done the obvious things like Pike Place, the waterfront, and some of the more popular spots, but I’m looking for things that locals genuinely love. What’s something you’d recommend to someone who wants to experience Seattle beyond the usual tourist stuff? Could be a restaurant, coffee shop, neighborhood, bookstore, walk, random hidden gem, weekend activity, or even just a really good view. Bonus points for something you think is underrated or that tourists usually overlook. What would you put at the top of your list?

I received a bus lane violation at NB 3rd Ave @ James St in Seattle, WA. It was in a rental car, and the notice includes photo and video evidence of the alleged violation. For those familiar with Seattle's bus lane camera enforcement: is it worth contesting these types of violations, or are they generally pretty difficult to beat when there’s video evidence? Has anyone successfully contested one? If so, what was the basis for your challenge?

Any local places that host regular cribbage meet-ups or tournaments? I searched the post history but only saw general board game meet-up posts. Looking specifically for cribbage. TIA!

My friend and I were in line behind you at miro tea yesterday afternoon. You were average height, muscular, wearing a white shirt, had a thick blonde-ish mustache, and a black motorcycle helmet with you. I believe you ordered some pastries to go. You are very handsome and I regret not saying anything to you!

Hi guys, I’m coming to Seattle with my wife and mother in law for a weekend. We’ll be staying in the Fremont area (Staybridge Suites). Wondering if we will need a car or not for strictly Seattle city activities like Pike Place, Space Needle, Kerry Park, Chihuly Glass museum etc. We will only have two full days in Seattle (so 3 nights in total including the day went arriving) and I’d prefer to not have to waste time looking for parking if it’s hard to find. Would it be worth it to drive from Fremont to the city for sightseeing these places or better to just take a bus or some other public transport (idk if there’s a train) to the city for these places? Also if we don’t get a rental car, any recommendations on how to get from the airport to the Fremont area in a somewhat efficient manner on Saturdays at around 4:30/5pm? I was looking at the ubers and it would cost like $70-$80 for rides to the airport and about the same amount to come back to the airport from Fremont…it’s almost as expensive as the cost of renting a car for 3 days which is like ~$170-$200. Is there a public transport option from the airport that runs on Saturdays which will take me directly to somewhere near Fremont so I can call an uber from there and it won’t be as expensive? Thanks very much in advance.

Hashtag Cannabis on Everett Mall way is closed?? I heard rumors that they might be going bankrupt but I didn’t think it’s happen so fast.:( I loved that place it was the closest dispo to me. Convenient location, great customer service. I didn’t feel like a regular, I felt like a friend. Truly the best Dispensary in town. So now I’m down a dispo. Hoping to find somewhere new to be a regular at. Looking for somewhere with regular deals, a phone number point system, NOT affiliated with KUSH 21. I hate that company, and I’m not a fan of how they’re attempting to monopolize dispensaries over here. If anyone has a place they love preferably in the area of the Everett Mall. Please send me that way😔

Any recommendations for a company to trim some trees (small ones)?

Please listen to this message, it may be alarming, but the word must be spread in order to protect innocent, hardworking kids. Allen Lee from All Clear Windows has very, very unsafe working conditions, and refused to pay me after two weeks of my work. In these two weeks, I showed up before him every single day, and also left after him, I would like to say I worked pretty hard for his company. Every time I asked Allen for safety equipment, he simply refused (on top of that, he only went up on the roofs with me around 5% of the time, and he was only up there for a few minutes (that is not a true leader in my opinion))-I thought nothing of it, until Wednesday, September 2 around 14:00 I slipped and fell on a roof, and now have severe pain in my lower back, I just turned 20. After the incident, Allen told me I need to get better balance. He sent me on that roof during rain, it was very slippery; I questioned going up, but he told me it’d be a walk in the park, Allen did not go up on the roof. After around 35 hours of work, Allen has made excuse after excuse as to why he cannot pay me. I am not at all worried about payment, I AM WORRIED ABOUT AN INNOCENT YOUNG MAN DYING FROM HIS ACTIONS! Allen, I hope you can learn from your mistakes, and I will pray for you. I am reporting this to OSHA, simply because me and many others would not like to see a fatality on his site.

I've been noticing how many Seattle-area people are dealing with the same cycle: You see a few ants. You spray them. They're gone. A few days later they're back, except now they're coming from a completely different room. Then you start wondering if you're dealing with multiple colonies. One thing that gets overlooked is that the ants you see walking across the counter aren't necessarily the actual problem. They're workers searching for food or water, and the trail can lead through some surprisingly small gaps. I've seen people focus almost entirely on killing the visible ants while never figuring out: where they're entering what they're attracted to whether there's moisture nearby whether vegetation is touching the structure whether there are multiple exterior activity points whether the ants are actually the species they think they are And species matters more than people realize. A treatment that makes sense for one type of household ant isn't necessarily the best approach for another. For the Seattle homeowners who have dealt with this: What finally made your recurring ant problem stop? Was it bait? Sealing cracks? Fixing a moisture problem? Trimming vegetation? Finding a nest? Or did you eventually have to bring in someone to identify what was actually happening? I'm particularly curious about the people who had ants disappear for a week or two and then suddenly came roaring back.
