Hi everyone! I’m looking to dye my curly 2c/3a virgin black hair a deep plum color. Does anyone know any curly stylists who specialize in dying hair around the Seattle area?

If you left your container on line 2 this morning (Lynnwood to Redmond) it’s still here!

Was luckily enough to get caught at a red light to catch this double rainbow looking east from SODO yesterday! (My car window tint caused a little color weirdness but oh well)

Was minding my own business in a light , 3 weirdo teens in a Volvo were making racist Asian jokes for no reason, boy doing most of the talking was hiding his face too. Just a reminder raise your kids to be better people than those losers

Continuing my apartment hunting. A few well-regarded apartments are between these two fire stations, including Boulder Creek, Alton Heartwood, and Highlands at Wynhaven. Do they fire up the siren as soon as they leave the garage? Would love to hear from people in these apartments in this area.

Oh boy, as someone with chronic illnesses I never imagined having just as much trouble finding help for my dogs as I had for myself. It took me 12 years for the medical system to accept me, sort of, but dogs don’t have the “luxury” of going on a 12 year search. I have 2 dogs with chronic health issues, and especially have been having trouble finding help for my older 8 year old corgi. A few months ago I ran into this same issue with specialists, but luckily I now have a great Internal Med Dr. and Neurologist. I am looking for a primary care vet willing to help her with more basic issues. She was improving greatly the past couple of months after thinking she wasn’t going to make it. She started playing with our other corgi, and was energetic until 2 weeks ago she started to have thin stools and then severe pain and diarrhea. The ER didn’t do anything to help her so we went to primary care, got a fiber supplement, and ran tests. When the test came back she has high levels of a bad bacteria known to cause diarrhea we were happy as this was treatable. However, the vet doesn’t seem comfortable with treating her so she first reached out to the wrong internal med doctor who said to just stay on the fiber and we can come in for a complete ultrasound if we want. We just spent 2k in 2 days and this year for this one dog, about 12k. We have had doctors this week look via ultrasound and x ray and we do not want another huge bill for no help. Then our internal med vet was contacted who had an appropriate response, hold off on treating if all if well and of not then treat. Not all is well, she is sick and not herself at all. I was never asked if she was feeling sick, I thought it was obvious on presentation. So, I found results from 2 months ago showing she was negative for this bacteria and now she is positive for many, including one being very high. We did an online vet appointment and we were treated like adults and now have meds for her. But this took a lot of time and money for something simple. A similar thing happened to me months ago when she was having trouble walking at all, and we found that 5mg of prednisone helped her a lot so I wanted to continue that daily a bit longer and see if she continues to improve.. and I could not get that from the neurologist we saw. Honestly I felt like I was drug seeking, it was unnecessary and really upsetting that my dog would have to suffer because someone doesn’t seem to like me. During this time I was also at an interim Internal Med vet and when I called to make an appointment to see them again, I was told I could not make one until I had her seen by neurology again. But I had just talked to neurology and they wouldn’t help her. So I will never go back to either place again. We did find a new neurologist and it turns out that 5mg of prednisone daily did help her extensively. So, if you made it this far, I am just looking for the ability for my dog to have normal, basic care by a primary care vet. If you have any recommendations I would appreciate it greatly. Thank you all so much!

pulled up today on a Friday to wild waves, where I was then pushed over and took it up my ahh after spending 100$ on a season pass thinking it would also be opened daily until closing. Fun.

Hi Seattle-area parents of autistic/PDA kids! We’re house hunting and I’d love some firsthand experiences. If you could choose where to live in the greater Seattle area specifically with your thinking a lot about nervous-system safety as he gets older. For us, that means quieter neighborhoods, less traffic/chaos, access to nature and outdoor space, a sense of community, and places where he can have a little more freedom to move and just be himself. At the same time, we need to stay within reasonable reach of Seattle. My husband is a working musician who gigs frequently in the city and will continue to have part-time teaching work in Seattle, so moving significantly farther out isn’t really practical for our family. The biggest question for us is schools and community. Since our son is PDA, we avoid ABA and behaviorism in favor of collaboration, autonomy, low demand, etc. We’re currently looking broadly — Seattle, Shoreline/Richmond Beach, Lake Forest Park, Edmonds, the Eastside, etc. — so I’d especially love comparisons between areas. I know every autistic kid is different and even schools within the same district can vary enormously. I’m less interested in test scores or which district is considered “the best” on paper and much more interested in where your autistic/PDA child has actually felt safe, understood, included, and able to thrive. If you could start over and choose your Seattle-area community based primarily on your autistic child, where would you go? And are there any places or schools you would specifically avoid? Thank you! ❤️

I know this has been hanging around for the past couple days in our area, but I just saw it in the middle of the street at K and 45th. I grew up around coyotes, but I don't love that this one is out in the middle of the day and does not look great. Didn't seem particularly scared of me, but did lope down the alley between J and K, between 45th and 43rd. I called it into animal control and left a voice message. But I wanted to let neighbors know so y'all can keep your pets in.

I applied to a job at a big company in Seattle (I’m out of state). The range was $80-115k. I told them I wanted 100, based off experience and job responsibilities. They said “there is no way you can get 100K, the actual range is 85-90K”. I was like…well the posting says (insert salary). They said something about it being Washington law that they had to post the budgeted amount, but it’s different from the actual? Maybe I am dumb but I am not getting this. A 20K drop is huge to me.
