Hey everyone - I apologize if this isn’t the right sub. Out of towner here; there wasn’t an “ask PNW” subreddit, and this one was much bigger than the “ask Vancouver” sub so I figured I’d have better luck here. I’m in town for work, staying a couple extra days to explore the area a little. I’m going to a rally car race at Hannegan Speedway (roughly halfway between Seattle and Vancouver) on Sunday, then flying out of Seattle on Monday morning. I’m looking for something fun to do on Sunday night after the race is over to make the most of my time here. I like spending time in nature and thought it might be nice to pack up some snacks/some kind of dinner, maybe find a short hike to some kind of scenic overlook, sit down and have dinner and watch the sunset. Any recommendations on the best place to do that? Ideally near Seattle or at least headed that way, but Vancouver is also only like an hour and a half away from where I’ll be and I’m not totally against the idea of going up there if there’s a really awesome spot. I have my passport with me if that’s the move. I’ve been to Mount Baker and Deception Pass before, kind of want to scope out new places. Additionally, any recommendations on fun nightlife things to do in Seattle before I fly home are more than welcome. I get that it’s a Sunday so it might be kind of dead but figured I’d ask anyway. Thanks so much!

A couple days ago a small shoe was photographed in the cracks of the Fremont bridge. Now normally I don’t go seeking these kinds of things, but on this particular day my husband was with me on a walk and I had already told him about the small shoe, so he set out to make sure I found it. He’s big into the geocaching, so this was right up his alley. It was dark and a little harder to see in the cracks of the bridge inbetween lights but he managed to locate it and then I got the joys of getting it out of said crack. After returning home, I scrubbed it all up and was going to set it back out somewhere it could easily be retrieved, and then that creative bug bit me and I thought…what if it could GLOW so it was never lost again? Well, I was in luck because I have UV reactive and glow in the dark powders that I can mix with colors or clear mediums. In this case I used the clear mediums…so that the outside would remain as original as possible, but make it glow with UV light and you’ve got a whole different shoe. So I set about painting it purple, and white with some red racing strips in the back. The soles got hot pink. When you see it in daylight, you’d never know how well it glows. If you venture out around Fremont today and find yourself walking along the path that takes you to the Troll under the bridge, you just might find it. I’ve placed a UV reactive lucky 4 leaf clover inside as an extra bonus for whoever finds and claims it. I don’t have any banana pictures for scale, but I do have a dog nose. Happy Friday y’all.

Anyone know of any cafe here in federal way that is offering espresso’s made with tonic water? I feel like my partner would love it and want to taker her out for a breakfast treat :)

I have a stacked washer dryer unit that I would like to move downstairs. Does anyone know if there's a service that does that? What should I expect to pay?

Puget Sound Energy raised its rates by almost 19% for residential customers in January and it's preparing to increase them again, according to Gerald Tracy, a Puget Sound Energy spokesperson. ... Its new proposal, to be submitted this month, would increase rates over three years with a steep 16.75% hike starting in January 2027, pending the commission's approval. Utilities are required to submit a plan at least once every three years, but there is no standard format. In the 2024 plans, Puget Sound Energy and Avista did not disclose how much they spent on wildfire mitigation projects, but Pacific Power forecasted investing over $10 million. ~ Nineteen percent, then almost seventeen more, and the plan that is supposed to justify the spending does not have to say what the money bought.

On 9/3/26, the J Pod returned from their usual summer vacation up north and came nearly all the way down to downtown Seattle area before flipping and heading back north. Sounds like the Ls and maybe the Ks were off Whidbey Island. So exciting to see them again!

It’s been a few years but remember one at the olive 8. Is it still there?

The first one ignored me. The second watched me for a while. Not sure if I am more relieved or insulted that I don't look tasty. 🤔 I will cross-post at r/notinteresting
