Hi! I’m moving to an apartment in Greenwood (North Seattle, 98133) and trying to figure out the best internet provider. It looks like Quantum Fiber may not be available in my building. I’ve heard pretty mixed/negative things about Xfinity, so I wanted to ask people who actually live in the area. What internet provider do you use in Greenwood, and how has the reliability been? I work from home sometimes and stream quite a bit, so reliability matters more to me than having crazy-fast gigabit speeds. Would especially love to hear about Xfinity, Astound, or any other providers available around Greenwood. Thanks!

The new facility is one of a little over a dozen skills centers in Washington state. These educational facilities offer dual credit high school and career and technical education credit to high schoolers, tuition-free. Maritime|253 is run by Tacoma Public Schools, and is open to students around Pierce County. "With trades, it will always be in use for life," Butler said. "It can't get replaced by AI or anything else." ~ Ten years from the superintendent asking the port for classroom space to the doors opening. Worth it, and it should not take ten years.

I’m currently visiting the city and flying out tomorrow night. I’m looking for a café, preferably in West Seattle, where I can park myself for a few hours and work on my laptop. Good coffee & food would be a huge plus! TIA

Lakeside Industries was issued a permit for the asphalt plant in April 2022... Save the Cedar River sued in Superior Court in May 2024, but had lost that battle. In 2025, Lakeside Industries agreed to build a warehouse, and later to sell the property and abandon its plan to construct the plant. The county and the Flood Control District then pursued full public acquisition to ensure the property is permanently preserved for public use, without imposing additional taxes on King County residents. ~ They lost in court in 2024 and kept showing up anyway. A zoning line drawn in 2008 for a landscaping company almost put an asphalt plant on the Cedar River.

I wouldn’t have believed my own eyes, alone, to make this post. Truly. I thought I was hallucinating and, were there not another witness, i would not be writing this. Last night, I was driving two young women to QA from Fremont, just before midnight. They were in the back having pleasant conversation, when I took a right off Queen Anne Blvd on to Garfield. After crossing 1st Ave. W, I saw the silhouette of an enormous TAIL that must’ve been 6 feet long! I looked closer and saw its body, blending in with a wooden fence, maybe 50 yards away. This all took place in a matter of a couple of seconds and I wasn’t about to say a word, until one of my passengers said, “What the F*** did I just see?” I got chills… and said, “oh my god, you saw it, too!?” “Was that…..” “A really really big CAT?!” It moved like liquid.. in an instant, it was gone. We tried to pursue, but that cat knew it had been spotted. It disappeared into the darkness. I dropped that young woman off, and obviously we definitely waited to make sure she got in okay. (The other woman was going to another spot, several blocks south of there.) There is NO DOUBT that what we saw was a cougar, in literally the middle of Queen Anne. So, make sure your pets are safe and be vigilant when walking near West Queen Anne Playfield. After several reported cougar sightings in Magnolia (Lawton Park) last year, it’s entirely possible that one or more of these wild cats trekked their way through the massive green belts surrounding QA.

I am in Kirkland and I'm going to an event at Tacoma Dome on Monday evening, which starts at 7pm. I was planning to leave Kirkland at 5pm but I am not sure how bad the traffic is. Is it worth it to drive down earlier in the day, like 2pm, and then camp out somewhere nearby? As far as I know, I-405S between Bellevue and Renton is awful, but not sure if Monday is better than usual. Thanks in advance.

I need a bridesmaid dress tailored and looking for reasonably priced, quick service. TIA!

I’ve lived in Seattle since 2020, and I’ve noticed these metal hanging art pieces all over the city. Interbay, Capitol Hill, SODO, Green Lake, the International District. Maybe I’m looking in the wrong place, but does anyone know who the artist is or if this is part of a larger project? Any info would be welcome; I’m so curious. They make me so happy
