Hi all, I’m moving to the Seattle area from Huntsville, AL in January 2027 and looking for a small industrial/shop space to restart my custom cabinetry business. I wrote this with the help of AI editing for clarity. We build high-end residential and commercial frameless cabinetry, specializing in built-ins, wardrobes, home offices, kitchens, and baths. My family is planning to start out in Bremerton, but I’m particularly interested in finding 600–1,200 sq. ft. of shared or subleased space in SODO or Bremerton , ideally with a flexible or negotiable lease term. The biggest thing I need is freight receiving . My business operates on about a 95% outsourcing model, so I plan to keep my existing vendors and have cabinet components shipped to Seattle. Ideally, I’d share space with a business that already receives freight and could accept my shipments and move them into my area if I’m out at a consultation or installation. That would be a huge advantage and would let me avoid buying a forklift immediately. I’ll be running solo for the first 6–12 months while I establish the business in the Seattle market, I wouldn’t expect to ever have more than 2-3 employees. Because most of our components arrive machined and/or prefinished, I don’t need a traditional cabinet shop full of heavy machinery. Most of what happens in the shop is receiving, assembly, staging, and occasional work with powered hand tools. I plan to have a Sprinter-style van for installations and deliveries, and being able to park it inside the building would be a big plus. Ideally, I could load cabinets and tools the day before an installation and leave everything secured inside overnight. HVAC would also be a plus, although I don’t need residential-level climate control. My materials (and I!) are happiest around 60–80°F and below 50% humidity. There is a possibility I’d want to do some limited finishing in the space. We use water-based finishes and specialized spray equipment, and I could set up a small temporary booth to control overspray. That said, the vast majority of our products arrive prefinished, so this wouldn’t be a full-time spray operation. I’ve been finding that sub-1,500 sq. ft. industrial spaces are relatively hard to come by, and I’m intentionally looking for a lower-risk way to enter the Seattle market rather than taking on a larger shop than I need. I’m hoping there might be a cabinet shop, countertop fabricator, millwork company, contractor, or other cabinet-adjacent business with some under utilized space that could benefit from the extra rental income. I’d be very open to a mutually beneficial short-term arrangement that could potentially turn into something longer term if it works well for everyone. If anyone has space, knows someone who might, or has suggestions on where else I should be looking, I’d appreciate any pointers.

We just got done watching a video about the 90s and different themed restaurants. Places like Rainforest Cafe, Fashion Cafe, Planet Hollywood, Medieval Times....Got us thinking is there anything like that in the Seattle area? The only one I know that may fit the bill is Luna Cafe in West Seattle. That has a 50's vibe.

My buddies will be in town for week 1 of the NFL season. I normally watch from home, but we want to go out since were all together. Somewhere we can get a nice booth with a good view of a TV that we can camp out for hours eating and drinking. Wondering if anyone knows the best places in town for that?

And no, it’s not partially eaten, and that’s before any tax as well.

This is the place on Pine that used to be Rancho Bravo Tacos, next to the Black Lives Matter mural. In pic 2 you can see the Black Lives Matter in the mural but shortened to BLM. The speech bubble saying “Amigo” appears to come from the taco place where the viewer is standing, Also shows Cal Anderson Park across the street and the skyscrapers of Bellevue at the top. I-5 in the mural has a lot of local tags (BTM, MRSA, DOTCOM) and it looks like some people defaced the mural by adding their own tags, but at least they were thoughtful enough to do it on the parts of the mural depicting surfaces where there was already “graffiti”. There is also a cybertruck on I-5 with a big dick and balls on it and I can’t tell if the d&b was part of the original artwork. El Capitan apartments is depicted as “El Clapitan”. Did it get that nickname once when it was know for illicit trade happening in the rooms? Google didn’t turn up anything suggesting that. The panel on the right (pic 8) depicts Capitol Hill street names in hieroglyphics, except for the last line which spells something else. The street name I was stuck on the longest was the third one, but I got it eventually. One of the concrete structures on I-5 even has the ubiquitous white-bearded-guy on it (there still seems to be no consensus on who that actually is). Mural credited to artbreakerbt on instagram. Happy #MuralMonday!

I (cis-woman kinda chubby with tattoos) went to Airport Video in Everett on Sunday afternoon and I told a couple people I would post on here so we could chat. After I got home, I realized that this really isn't the right sub for this topic... So I'm going to post over on the Seattle R4R sub, meet me there. Much more appropriate. Sorry everyone else.... Have a good week.

One of my good friends passed away awhile back and he sold his car shortly before he did. He always wanted to restore it but never had the time or money. I’d love to purchase it and have it professionally restored to honor his memory but I have no idea how to start. I know it’s a total long shot to ever even locate the car but figured I should at least try. It was a Mercury Cougar. He sold it on marketplace and from what I remember it was loud, and had some rust (maybe on the floor boards if I recall correctly?) Yeah quite a lot of information huh? a couple photos and a couple vague descriptions are all I have unfortunately. Not sure how many red Mercury cougars exist out there in the greater Seattle area, for all I know it could be scrapped by now but I really want to give this a shot. I’m not sure if the plate is helpful at all or not? Was sold from Snohomish maybe a year and a half ago if I recall correctly.

Hello everyone, I currently live in the Phoenix area in Arizona but I spent most of my life in Boise, Idaho. Something happened here that’s caused me to move back home and I decided after a little bit I’d move to Seattle and continue my education there. I’m doing my prerequisites for nursing and wanted to work in Seattle and I figured I’d just go to school there and cut out that whole middle part between graduating and moving to Seattle. My question is what can I expect when I decide to move there? Anything that you can tell me I’d appreciate! I know enough about the city to feel comfortable in my decision to move there but not a whole lot otherwise.

My buddies will be in town for week 1 of the NFL season. I normally watch from home, but we want to go out since were all together.
