Saw a little Pomeranian-ish dog lost running around on 26th Ave SW. Seemed very afraid, running very fast. Wouldn't let me get anywhere near. Last seen at 26th and 104th heading west through someone's backyard.

King County Sheriff’s detectives in the Major Crimes Unit are asking for your help to solve the murder of 29-year-old Connor Overstreet in Skyway in the early morning hours of Sunday, August 23rd. Detectives have been out canvassing the area of S 124th and South Langston Road for any video and are asking neighbors, drivers and businesses to check their cameras between 12:30 AM and 1:15 AM in the area shown within the red outline in the map below. They are looking for any dashcam or surveillance video showing people or vehicles that can help identify a suspect or vehicle involved in the case. You can use the QR code to upload the video directly to the Sheriff’s Office. Deputies were dispatched at about 12:40 am on Sunday to reports of a shooting. The fire department arrived and provided aid, but Connor did not survive. The Medical Examiner determined he died of a gunshot wound to his chest. Connor was an active-duty member of the U.S. Coast Guard. In a statement, his wife Madeleine says he was her best friend. “On behalf of myself, the Overstreet family, and so many who loved Connor, I want to personally thank the media for respecting our family during this incredibly difficult time. We are devastated by the loss of my soul mate and am still trying to process what has happened. Connor was my rock and I am so honored to be Connor’s wife forever and always. All Connor wanted to do was save lives by flying for the Coast Guard. His loss is a tragedy felt by countless people. He was truly the best of us.” Crime Stoppers of Puget Sound and Connor’s family are offering a $20,000 cash reward for any information that leads to an arrest and charge filed in the case.

I’m writing this because I’m at my breaking point. It’s always been pretty rough but it’s gotten really bad in the past few months. From the Pac Med all the way up to the Red Apple, and most of Rainier Ave S, is full of drug addicts and trash. I live by the Red Apple and it’s alarming how much trash, homelessness, and open drug use takes place. Im immobile and I can give a daily break down of everything I saw and heard outside my window this week: - Monday: group of bums drunk by 10am at the corner of my street, the mariachi music starts blaring before noon. By the evening, roughly 6-10 junkies tweak on by, one of them was dragging a couch and left in the road. Guys sit on the curb shoot up. One passes out and the other leaves him. Noise cancelling headphones never came off. Group At the corner is screaming and yelling late into the night. No windows open for fresh air at night. - Tuesday: basically the same as Monday. Noise cancelling headphones in all day. But that couch was used to break down a fence barrier to gain access to the empty lot next door. Not sure if anyone is setting up camp there, but it doesn’t matter because there’s roughly 2 dozen drunk junkies at the 76 gas station and bus stop across the street. Home is where the heart is. By the evening, there’s 3 groups of people Screaming and yelling til midnight, then it went down to 1 group at the corner. Block party at night, people revving their 1.8l 1994 Nissan Sentras and Civics until 2am. Couldn’t sleep with a window open. - Wednesday: same as the last two days - group at the corner drunk by 10, blaring music by noon.There was a huge fight at the bus stop across the street. The group that normally sits at the corner away from me decided to hang out in front of my building for the night. Guys taking pisses on the trees in front of our building, leaving trash everywhere. Pissing in bottles. After they disperse, a junkie lady walks by and chugs one of the piss bottles without hesitation. Screaming homeless outside, can’t sleep with a window open. - Thursday: car chase at noon going down my neighborhood road, cops in full pursuit. The person running skirts a parked car. There’s 2 groups drinking and screaming late into the night. Another block party outside Alongside people screaming at the bus stop. Couldn’t sleep with a window open. - Friday: the group isn’t at the corner for once, but they are all at the bus stop like a spirit bomb of homeless. I see the drug dealer car, it’s a guy who pretends to be some construction worker. He wears a safety vest and does deals out of his little car. I see it several times a week when I would drive home from work, but I am currently immobile. By the evening however, there’s a group of people doing cocaine in a minivan outside my window. One of them takes a shit in plain view on a tree. They start drinking and acting crazy for a few hours before they scattered. Saturday: woke up to someone broke into my car overnight. Nothing of value in there. Nothing was taken. I left for the day but came home to passed out junkies at the 76, and a bunch of drunks on the other corner. Sunday morning (now): screaming at 9am, there’s 3 different groups of people on drugs and drunk around this building. I wish I wasn’t making any of this up. It’s absolutely batshit crazy how people live in Beacon Hill by the parks and all along Rainier Ave. and it’s all making its way to my area up the hill. Now I get I don’t live in the richest part of town but the amount of times I’ve seen people shoot up, shit and piss on the sidewalks, and have mental breakdowns in front of my apartment IS TOO DAMN HIGH. What the fuck, Seattle. Update 11AM: now the Spanish speaking loudspeaker preacher is in front of my building at the bus stop. What the fuck. Update Noon: hit and run on the street. I heard the smash and saw the car hauling ass down the road.

Cyclists, you know what I'm talking about. The massive seam in the soutbound half of the bike lane. The one that stretches from Pike all the way down to Washington. Parts of it filled in with road goop that gets slippery in the rain, and parts of it so wide you could fit a thnickel in sideways. It's also just off to one side, so if you try to ride to the right, you're getting smacked by the plants in the planters, and if you ride to the left, the people behind you have a harder time passing and you have to jump the crack to avoid anyone veering into the wrong lane. I usually just skip this lane altogether, but it's my fastest way home and I'm getting tired of avoiding it. Would a find-it-fix-it report even do anything other than have someone come fill it with that crummy road goop again? The real issue is that the lanes need to be leveled, but that isn't a fast fix. What do you do? Left side, right side, avoid altogether? Ride with tires so fat it can't snatch them? Passive-aggressive FIFI reports every time you ride it? I am so tired of that damn thing. EDIT: this thing! https://preview.redd.it/28gxt4f94kmh1.jpg?width=1542&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2f23322a8a3ad9f3750be248aaedab4e7c511a08 https://preview.redd.it/zby265f94kmh1.jpg?width=1542&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5460e20a3d5e7243a14d4e4d61dedeec1a298590 https://preview.redd.it/rh7426f94kmh1.jpg?width=1542&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=53b2666768f05d6c71331e394fbe9703cc90af74

visiting my family across the water and last time i flew into seattle and ubered to the ferry it did not go great. my uber did not speak the same language as me and tried to go through the ferry line for cars and could not understand where he needed to drop me off. he then proceeded to drive like 5 min down alaskan. im hoping this doesn’t happen again cause i would assume that ubers in seattle would be familiar with the ferry but im also aware its because i set my drop off as ferry terminal. i’m ubering to the ferry next week and want to set my drop off in a location where there’s not confusion / doesn’t mess up their uber process. i put colman dock on my reservation and the pin is set to the walk on ticketing area- is that good or does anyone have recs on where to set my drop off where i don’t have to walk very far?

I am reaching out to the community for assistance...this little guy appears to have been out in the cold. He is being warmed up in my apartment. I gave him a dawn bath to get fleas off of him. I really could use some help...I don't have the resources unfortunately to take care of a baby squirrel 😕

I live in Belltown. Do you have any favorite spots for beautiful views? Where do you go to get into the water? Lastly, are there any quiet areas where I can practice getting in and out of the kayak with my dog? Sorry for all the questions, I’m sure it will become second nature to me soon. Thank you very much!

I'd like to play some Hangzhou style Mahjong, which is on the simpler side compared to a few of the other rulesets I've seen. I've been to a few groups, but none are on the eastside. Curious to see if anyone is open to learning the Hangzhou ruleset and playing a few games this upcoming Saturday. 9/5 DM me with your preferred hours if you're interested!

Really Washington. You had the covid lockdowns to actually work on 405, and you still find a way to delay it by 7 years and still blame it on the contractors?

Does anyone have any recommendations/references for a Chinese confinement nanny? I am due late January 2027 and searching for a live-in nanny who can come and help with all the traditional cooking and caretaking. Big bonus if they can speak Cantonese. Any and all help with leads are greatly appreciated!
