Is there a way to get from the market down to the waterfront that involves NO stairs *&* NO elevator? I love to take the little kids in my life to the market and waterfront and aquarium and whatnot, but with the "new" waterfront I just can't seem to find the best route from market to waterfront with a stroller. There's that elevator by the aquarium, of course, and the other one, but *this* tourist season has shown me they get all gummed up with stinky, sweaty visitors and I'd rather walk. I swear I've gone from Westlake stn all the way to the water without a single step, but I can't seem to find that way again. Anyone know the right route?

i’m due for an eye exam, but i don’t want a wham bam thank you ma’am situation. i think i have actual ~stuff~ going on (i have migraine with aura, my right eye is often blurrier than my left, visual snow, poor n night vision, possibly astigmatism, i’m thinking i might have BVD). who would you recommend? i am in northgate, the closer the better.

There's a good amount of details surrounding our move but the basis of it is my girlfriend is currently remote and wants to work in person in Seattle. I have a remote job and we're excited to move, but we're hung up on timeline and other stuff. Our current lease ends at the end of November and holiday travel + multiple day road trip with all our stuff + El Nino? + apartment hunting makes deciding to break our lease or be nomadic until January not super clear. I guess I'm just asking for any advice that has to do with moving cross country and the apartment hunting timeline for that that makes sense. My gf has done a lot of research and has her finger on the pulse more since all her coworkers are there, so we know we want to be in/around Fremont, have it be a

I have never played before, but have wanted to try for a while. I separated from my wife about seven months ago, and her and the kids moved a bit away where I now I a lot of alone time. I would love to try and fill up some of that time and DND sounds great. I don’t work Fridays or Saturdays, so those would be the best days for me, but I can always see what works.

Recently moved to the Seattle area and currently living in Bellevue. Been here for about a month, and I’m trying to figure out how people in their late 20s actually meet people here, especially other Indians/Desis. I’m fairly active I hike pretty often, go to the gym, play table tennis, and occasionally go to salsa/bachata and other social dances. I’m trying to get out more and meet people organically rather than just relying on apps. Dating apps have honestly been pretty demotivating so far. A lot of profiles seem pretty low effort, and sending out likes for weeks with basically zero incoming likes starts feeling pointless after a while. So for the Indian/Desi crowd here: how are you actually meeting people and dating in Seattle/Bellevue? Are there particular social groups, events, sports leagues, dance communities, volunteering groups, etc. that have a good 20s/30s crowd? I’m not necessarily looking for singles-only events either. I’d rather find places where people genuinely socialize and friendships/dating can happen naturally. Also curious whether people have had better luck in Seattle proper vs Bellevue/Redmond. Would love to hear from people who moved here without already having a big social circle what actually worked for you?

Seen today near the rest rooms, 11:30 AM. Please share as I am new to the area and not aware of the wildlife rehab resources. Thank you.

We started seeing tagging showing up so I decided something doable to help the neighborhood would be to clean or cover the tags before more appeared. Been doing that in about a mile radius of our home for several years now. Takes under an hour most times and once it gets nipped in the bud it rarely reappears. Well, lately, seems like more areas are getting quietly cleaned up by other volunteers and I think that is so cool! There is hardly any tagging now beneath I-90 and around Crossroads Park. Keep it up!

Just curious how the community here feels about that place

Buying lunch for my crew today and want the hands down best street tacos in Everett. I know there are a ton of places but there has to be a number one spot. Thank you !

We are a divorced household and my step-kid is with us every other weekend in Kirkland plus some shoulder days. He goes to another school district and has plenty of friends at his mom's so is always socializing during his days with her. We've tried summer camps and afternoon activities that are very local to our area for years but the friends made from that just end up being occasional online video game dates. I'm feeling pretty bad because most of the kids we know through our own friends are years older or super busy in sports so he really just hangs out with us. I remember in my own childhood having a summer friend when I visited my dad definitely helped a lot and was super fun but our parents were best friends so it was easy. Kid interests: video games, reading, karate, basketball (not good at it but wants to play), wiffleball. Starting to walk around town for things like getting boba. Parent activities: archery and video games (dad), horse and studio gym (step-mom). Both work in tech in 40s/50s. We like going to cafes in the morning on weekends and trying new restaurants. Honestly it's probably an us-problem as parents who aren't super extroverted or pushy about play dates but I don't think we are weird or awkward aside from this post. My dream scenario is a kid or kids in our neighborhood (downtown Kirkland) where they can easily walk to each other's homes or downtown and parents don't mind getting breakfast or a drink every now and then. I'm worried our social window is closing as he gets older.
