Looking for plumber recommendations to fix a drain pipe. Small/local business are preferred.

The Native Plant Salvage Foundation’s annual fall plant sale will open for online orders from September 20 at noon until September 27 at 6:00 p.m.! We offer hundreds of hard-to-find native plants and drought-tolerant water-wise plants (cultivars or non-native plants that do well in our area and don’t require additional water or chemicals to thrive). Here’s how it works: Order online starting on September 20th at NOON, until the sale closes on September 27th at 6 p.m. The link to our store will be shared here: https://www.nativeplantsalvage.org/plant-sales . When you order, you’ll select an appointment time between October 2nd-4th. You can also choose an alternate time if you’ll be unavailable during those days. Arrive at our nursery, located ~10 miles south of downtown Olympia, for a quick load-up of your plants during your scheduled appointment time (instructions and directions will follow after you purchase). Keep in mind that we offer two plant sales a year, one in the spring and another in the fall. These sales are only possible due to our wonderful volunteers. If you're interested in volunteering during our sale, we would love to have you join us by registering: https://www.nativeplantsalvage.org/events We also host in-person classes throughout the year to show people how to identify native plants and offer naturescaping online courses to guide your landscaping projects! Don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions!

I went by the apartments on the corner of Donald and Clifton yesterday and noticed a bag with a lunchbox on the ground next to a paper bowl of oatmeal that was just dropped. I assumed the person must have spilled oatmeal on themselves and ran up to get changed. I came back today and it's all still there. The oatmeal, the backpack and the lunchbox. I thought it was odd so I called the non-emergency police line to report it. The woman who I spoke with seemed to be confused why I would report it. I told her it seemed like maybe a kid was just snatched off the street right there. She just said, well there's been no reports of kidnappings and hung up on me. So I decided to come here instead. Does any of this stuff look familiar to anyone? Or does anyone know of someone who hasn't been seen for a day or so? Sorry for the crappy photo. I felt weird snapping it and rushed. https://preview.redd.it/52n1sww9pxmh1.jpg?width=567&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=cc03e4b1f1bac29e8a19621c88402cd6a92b082f

Hello! Anyone love to roller skate? Marysville is getting a new floor - I am hoping they have more daytime sessions to skate as an adult while my kids are at school and trying to gauge interest. Owner said he needs about 20-25 people who are in to make it a normal session - I love to skate inside, I’m so sad Everett skate deck closed. Any millionaire want to open a new rink in Everett?

I know this isn’t a Seattle specific issue but this is where I live so I’m gonna rant. I find it extremely rude and inconsiderate to be walking while smoking your cigarette. Especially if you know you have people behind you. Vapes not so much. I don’t mind the smell of watermelon ice. But if you’re actively smoking a cigarette why must you walk and do it. I don’t want your smoke blowing in my face my entire walk. Especially when I’m down wind. Can’t you just stand to the side for two minutes and enjoy your smoke. The lack of self awareness in this city sometimes is baffling! End rant. (Edit) I see I’ve pissed off a lot of smokers. If this felt targeted at you and you felt a sense of defensiveness maybe you’re part of the problem.

I feel like The Murder City Devils deserve their due. What a unique, badass, PNW, punk band. Their members went on to play in Modest Mouse and Pretty Girls Make Graves. PECKED BY THE SEAGULLS! HANGIN FROM THE GALLOWS! SWINGIN IN THE BREEZE! DRIPPIN SOMETHIN ON STREET!!!

It happened so fast that I couldn’t get a picture, but I’m glad somebody did!

As the title says. I’m sure other people saw the masked ice agents blocking in the silver truck this morning. I’m posting this to see if there’s any other info

Hi Everyone! A couple months ago, someone on the Cleveland subreddit asked "Where are the best happy hours in Cleveland?" I had been working on a site that serves just this purpose, but it wasn't ready yet. Two months later, I'm at the point where I think the site is ready for beta use: www.happyhourspotter.com You will notice that I'm a west-sider based on the happy hours I've added myself, but I've reached my personal limit for how many different happy hours I can visit. I'm posting here in the Lakewood sub because this is home, and there are plenty of test cases in this area. The purpose is for this to be a myopically-focused, community-driven happy hour tracking site (potentially with an app for iPhone/Android in the future). I'm an IT architect by day, so I've built the site to work across all of Cleveland (the whole US really...). So, if you are looking for a good happy hour, check out the site. If you know of a good happy hour, just upload a picture of the menu/chalkboard/table-tent and my pipeline will publish the menu to the site, so long as it has happy hour deals! There will be some bugs I'm sure, but I'm hoping to make it easier to find and accurately track happy hours across the city. I have lots of feature ideas, but its time to get some feedback from the community! Let me know what you think!

I’ve been feeding 2 cats, wet food and dry food, for a few years. My herding dog has a high prey-drive otherwise, I’d try to keep them. I tried to socialize them all but my dog only wants to attack. 1️⃣ One of the cats is a feral male (shown in the photo). He’s really sweet but won’t let me touch him. Looks like he’s been in a lot of fights this summer so he’s not doing great. I lost my job last year and can’t pay to have him neutered or medically treated. I think he’d do great on a farm with other animals once he’s all fixed up. 2️⃣ The other cat is a neutered female. She was abandoned by a neighbor who sold their house 2 years ago. That cat has been living outside ever since. I think she could be domesticated but would have to be inside/outside. I asked Seattle Humane for help but they refused because she’s been living outside too long. They also said she’s a “community cat” but I’m the only one feeding these cats. Not only that, winter can be brutal. I’d love to see both of them have access to food and warm shelter. Anyway - I have identified other local resources but I was hoping to avoid traumatizing the cats by having to trap them and/or having animal control come out and take them. I worry that animal control would just euthanize the male. I don’t know what they do with feral cats.
