Good afternoon, Seattle! First time visitor from The Golden State, aiming for the first weekend in Oct. I’ll be driving up the coast solo and was looking for hotels in or about 20-30 from the downtown area. Aiming to stay from thurs-sun/mon depending on prices ($100-$150 a night). This will be my first solo trip and I’ve been wanting to see both Portland and Seattle for years (Pike Place here I come!) and am super excited. Any help will be highly appreciated, thanks much!

The cost of a replacement for Bridge 7 was pegged at anywhere from $99 million to $210 million, but any required height increase would also necessitate replacing Bridge 33W, at a cost of another $32 to $66 million. The study did look at what a retrofit for Bridge 7 would look like, but found that option would cost up to $160 million and take up to 12 years, due to a narrow window of construction work that BNSF would allow within its right-of-way, crews could only work four hours every day. The $1.55 billion transportation levy that voters approved in 2024 included $221 million for bridges, but most of that funding was earmarked for bridge repair and maintenance, not any full bridge replacements. ~ A private railroad sets the clearance, the schedule and the four hour workday. The public pays the $210 million and waits twelve years.

i’m staying in chinatown in the near future and i’m noticing a lot of the food places are made for groups and sharing food. unfortunately, however, i do not have someone to share with on this particular trip. what are some good places eat solo in chinatown?

Was on marine view dr and turned up hawthorne st.

In the Bay Area there used to be a restaurant called Gau Poang that made a chicken salad with thin crispy fried chicken, topped with a peanut flavored crumble and a clear, sweet vinegar dressing. The restaurant closed and I miss this salad so much. Does this look like anything you have had in Washington? I have found great dim sum here but struggled to find much else that compares to California, would love to be pointed in the right direction! Thanks

Unfortunately, I have a diagnosis of celiac disease staring me in the face. It's not confirmed yet (my test results come back Monday or Tuesday), but lots of things about my relationship with toilets is making more sense to me. For those who don't know, this means I need to live a gluten free life, if diagnosed. Forever. So I'm planning a last meal, and I already know what I want: Biscuits & sausage gravy Chicken fried steak, also with sausage gravy Eggs, over easy, with toast (preferably something artisinal) Pancakes or waffles Wit beer, if possible But I'm not going out with the same old Denny's or IHOP or whoever is just reheating Sysco. I want the gourmet shit, if such a place exists. If you know of such a place in or around Seattle, please let me know. Help me end life as I currently know it right.

Seen a lot of people recommending Vue Apartments. But then also this review recently. https://www.google.com/maps/dir/?api=1&destination=906%20Northeast%20Lilac%20Street,%20Issaquah,%20WA,%2098029 Looks like the management didn’t deny the review. Is this true?

Hi All, Just moved to Redmond from Canada. Looking for some recommendations for places to buy household items (kitchen, bathroom etc) in downtown. I do not have a car. So anything in walking distance would be great. I am also not that concerned about brands, just functional and good quality is enough. Thanks in advance!
