These arrows and “inspirational messages” are literally every 20-30 feet along the entire route. Now we get to enjoy them for who knows how long (it looks like someone made a half-assed attempt at painting over a few of them, leaving a black paint box that you can still read the message through). Anyway rant over!

Is there a type of company that handles all of the bullshit that follows a basement house fire? I have homeowners insurance, but the adjuster is firm on his stance that ' My job is assessing damages, estimating cost of repairs, & distributing funds to whomever you hire to do the work. I cannot suggest you work with any particular company or contractor" Backstory: 2 of the main uprights, 1 beam, & 5 floor joist/raftors are fairly charcoaled. The house has definetley shifted since the fire. (2 months ago) And this is where it gets stupid. The structural engineer, who we need to tell us if the house is safe enough to work on, will not inspect anything until all the walls & asbestos are removed (which may not be safe to do & we won't know until an engineer comes and inspects it) Meanwhile, the city says the house must be boarded up & no work can happen until the electricity & water are turned on, which can't happen if we aren't allowed in the house. + I'm sure there's a bunch of permits & other regulatory things i know nothing about Which is why it would be really cool to find a company that handles these sort of things.....

Labor Day weekend always marks our last Paint Map of the summer. And to say goodbye, our resident doodler decided to show you her real fine arts skills. Presenting a Handsome Squidward edition of the map. Labor Day weekend also means the Summer Scaries have officially set in. Symptoms may include a sudden urge to squeeze three months of summer plans into one three-day weekend. If symptoms persist, consult your travel map. before making any weekend plans. Luckily, we have have one handy, so here’s what you need to know: The handsome news: Most of our highway construction work will pause this weekend, which means all lanes of the I-90 Vantage Bridge are OPEN for the weekend. Lane reductions will go back into effect Tuesday morning. The Squidward news: You should still expect delays on I-5, I-90, US 2, at the Canadian border and on Washington State Ferries as people chase the final days of summer. Between sports games, two state fairs, festivals, concerts and everyone trying to squeeze in one last summer adventure, the roads will be BUSY. We can’t cure the Summer Scaries, but we can at least try to keep holiday traffic from aggravating this unfortunate illness. Our travel charts estimate the best times to travel on key highways throughout the weekend. Visit this link, consult the charts, and make a plan to avoid peak travel times: wsdot.wa.gov/travel/holiday-weekend-travel/labor-day-weekend-travel-times As always, check real-time conditions before you head out, give yourself extra time and have a plan. And with that, our Paint Map artist hangs up her paintbrush. For now. She’ll rest. She’ll wait. And when Washington’s roads inevitably descend into chaos once more, she’ll be ready. Side note: Fine art is best viewed up close. Swipe through for a closer look at the details.

I got my dream job located in South Lake Union. I am a dreamer and when I envisioned my dream home, I pictured a cabin nestled into the trees. My husband and I enjoy the fog and trees and found that Edmonds or Lake Forest Park fits our criteria in terms of moodiness and foresty vibes. I’ve never been to Seattle so I was naive in thinking I could just commute 5x a week into South Lake Union. I’ve done some research and I’m afraid my dreamer bubble has been popped upon learning about I5. I question if it’s worth the stress everyday to commute just so we could live in the trees. I’ve looked in the city and sadly nothing makes me come to life like when looking for homes in edmonds or LFP. Are there any commuters out there who take I5 everyday to maybe give me some hope that not all dreams are lost? if I5 should be avoided at all costs.. is there any other tree-filled neighborhoods that avoid I5? I’m kind of heartbroken I was so stoked until reality set in on actually getting to work. I also have a toddler who is level 1 autistic so I worry about living in an urban environment or not having a tranquil backyard. Thank you all in advance.

Anybody know what was happening this afternoon on Newport Way close to Cougar Mountain Zoo? Lots of police cars, fire trucks, etc. I heard it was a wreck but was wondering if anyone else knew details.

At least three Tacoma restaurants announced last week that they would cut ties with E9 Brewing Co. after learning that the brewery’s owners, brothers John and Lucas Xitco, gave money as individuals in June to Let’s Go Washington

I long for a cutesie cafe surrounded by red/golden trees. Idc if it’s on the street as long as I can see some NICE trees and foliage from a window in the cafe and potentially work from there for a bit on my laptop! Would love to know any hidden gems you guys know! It’s my last fall here in the PNW so wanna make the most of it

Two people were arrested after Seattle police spotted a stolen Mercedes in Ballard and later found it abandoned and running in a driveway on 7th Ave NW.

Anyone know where I can get a bunch of cardboard boxes in town?
