I could use some help finding a roofer for my three-row, three-story townhome. I've called about a dozen roofers in the Seattle area and none of them will do 3-stories and some have said the roof on my townhome is too steep. My townhome is the typical Seattle townhome that is found all over this city so I don't understand how all the Seattle townhomes have no options for roof help. I understand that for some companies, they don't want to pay for the extra insurance due to the liability, but how are all the townhomes' roofs in this city replaced? Does anyone have any recommendations? If you live in a 3-story townhome and have had your roof replaced, who did you use? I could use any help or insights, as we are in need of a new roof now before it becomes rainy season, but I can't find anyone to help.

"It’s unclear who, if anyone, mega-millionaire Brian Heywood consulted when drafting this initiative. It’s one of the most complex, confusing, and poorly written measures I’ve ever seen. Parents already have strong rights when it comes to their children in school, and this initiative actually weakens some parents’ rights while also putting children in danger."

it’s my nieces birthday on saturday, and her mom says she wants “experience gifts”. her mom is very anti-clutter, as am i, so i am on board with the idea…but i am having trouble thinking of things to do. she is turning 8, or maybe 7. i’d like to find something fun for her, and also fun for us (im M18 and my cousin is F19). something all 3 of us could do together. we’re thinking maybe trampoline park? it would be almost $80 for all three of us, though, which is a bit steep. i don’t live in the area, so i’m not sure what is around there. we don’t have a lot of time this weekend, so were most likely looking for something that’s available year-round. any ideas? or, which trampoline park is the coolest? for the area, i’ve only been to big air in auburn and thought it was pretty good.

Hi my son has been diagnosed as having depression for about 9 months. He tried both medication and therapy with different places, but felt there is no progress as his mood continues to be low (suicidal thoughts never truly leave) and he has no motivation to do anything. As parents, we thought he is better as we were able to distract him with enough daily activities so he is not lying in bed all day long. However, he does not agree as every night he complains “feeling miserable” , and he can’t focus on studying for more than half an hour. What is the best way to assess his situation- is he getting better and we need to be patient, or we should consider changing both medication and therapy modules?

Hello, I’m currently in Dallas TX, this is my 2nd year and my wife and I want to move out already. Before Dallas, we were in Boston and we left because it was getting ridiculously expensive, the city is basically a huge university campus and the rent just keeps skyrocketing. The thing is, Dallas is not THAT cheap for the little things it offers, yes it is cheaper than Boston. But with all the downsides it has ( weather, politics, HUGE yet scattered, tolls are a must yet very expensive, ZERO walk ability) but we like the 0 income tax. We were thinking of moving out of Dallas to the suburbs of Seattle ( maybe Everette ? ) and we’re doing our research and this post is part of this research. I need to prepare myself mainly for 3 things; and hear from the locals. 1- how is the walkability there ? What are I can live in and walk to a nearby grocery store ? I’m not planning to live in a historic downtown or in Seattle. But I want a normal city that is built around humans not F-150s. 2- how bad truly the weather is ? Again, I lived in Boston and I know how it feels bone freeze feels like, and I lived in Dallas… where does Seattle fall in relation to those two places ? I heard raining can be really annoying and walking outside is just not feasible. 3- As a local; what do you think there are hiddne costs of living in the suburbs of Seattle that I won’t find online. For example; before I came to Dallas, no one has prepared me to how expensive the tolls are, and how much I will need them. 4- what walkable suburbs around Seattle with reasonable cost of living and safety do you recommend? Thanks!

I'm not much of a drinker, but I'd like to celebrate my upcoming retirement with a really good scotch. I don't want to go to a bar, but rather drink it at home. I'm thinking a Glencadam 10, or Lagavulin 16, or Glenmorangie 12. I've tried Glenlivet and Bowmore but they weren't to my liking- not a smooth as I would have thought and darker notes as opposed to lighter/fruit notes. I'm not sure of where to purchase these. Also, is there a place (bar) that I can go to try a variety of high end scotch without having to get a full shot of each? I don't want to be on the floor after finding out I didn't really like the first 3 x_x Thanks!

As the summer ends in the eyes of stores and weather Does anyone know of stores the discount or throw away seeds or plant babies? I personally like to keep growing all sorts of colorful and edible and cool looking things inside my house as it gets darker outside. I’ve grown to like have a big ol cherry tomato plant in my living room to snack from. Last year I hit up the dollar stores and although they were like 80% off they had about a 20% germination rate. Wondering if anyone has thought on places to save plant babies or seeds to give a start as we head into fall and winter

Hey all! My husband and I are taking my dream trip to Washington at the end of the month and I could not be more thrilled to finally be in the PNW. Before we head out of Seattle for the mountains, we have a day planned to do all the stereotypical touristy stuff, just so we can say we “did” Seattle. I’m a big coffee drinker (I’m writing this while brewing a cup). I know that Washington and Seattle specifically is known for coffee, so I’m looking for recommendations for a locally owned businesses that make really great coffee. Contrary to how I sound talking about touristy stuff in Seattle, when I travel, I love living like a local as best I can. I refuse to go to Starbucks there, even though it’s cool and historic. I want the mom and pop coffee shops that a regular Seattle citizen might visit. I love a good hole-in-the-wall spot. I’m open to any recommendation, I just want to feel like I had great coffee while I was in Seattle!
