Hi everyone! I’m hoping to get some local perspective on house-cleaning prices in Washington State I am moving into a new home in Bellingham and hired a local cleaning company to do a move-in/deep clean before we moved in. The house is approximately 2,600 square feet. The cleaning included things like: Cleaning the floors throughout the house Wiping down walls and surfaces Cleaning the kitchen, including counters and cabinets Cleaning the bathrooms Cleaning light fixtures Cleaning windows inside and out where accessible Cleaning several large sliding glass doors General wiping down and cleaning throughout the house before move-in The home was empty, so there was no furniture or belongings to work around. I paid approximately $1,800 for the cleaning. I’m not looking to name or criticize the company—I’m genuinely trying to understand what the going rate is locally for this type of service. For anyone who has had a move-in/move-out or deep clean done recently in Bellingham or Whatcom County, what did you pay, approximately how large was your home, and what was included? Also, if you’ve had a particularly good experience with a local house cleaner or cleaning company, I’d appreciate recommendations. Thanks!

Any here or anyone know a handy person that could install a tv mount? I don’t really have much tools or skills. Probably take 30 min but if someone wants a little extra spending money. In south hill!

Hi all! A friend who's traveling domestic from another city just flew into Seattle and was unlawfully detained by ICE. Friend has valid status but is waiting on an approval for a H1B extension. We have no other information as their phone was confiscated. Please does anybody have contact details of an immigration attorney/lawyer that can help? Most firms are closed due to it being a weekend. Thank you all!

I'm looking to learn more about the 4.0+ pickleball scene in the Bothell area: - Willing to drive up to 30 min - Typically play Fri nights and Sunday mornings - I prefer indoor tennis court flooring but also open to evening outdoors. (Note: I've checked Velocity and Bellevue Pickleball Club, but their advanced open plays seem to have low attendance?) Thank you!

East coaster with a working class upbringing here. The couple of times I've run into blue collar guys in the wild we've hit it off instantly, but it's super rare in Seattle. Where does the hunting/fishing/tradeworking/politically moderate demographic hang out around here?? All the usual social spots (meetups, climbing gyms, run clubs) are 95% tech workers (no judgement, just not a vibe or lifestyle I connect with). I've made some great friends in my neighborhood dive bar, but they're all 60+, and it would be nice to meet people in their late 20s/30s/40s for an actual dating pool and people I can go and do stuff with.

Last night at midnight my friends and I left the meridian 16 movie theatre on 7th and pike. We witnessed a car accident and while waiting as witnesses for that accident (occupants were fine), we witnessed a lime scooter crash. Two scooters in the same group with young men driving and their girlfriends on the back of them. They were all intoxicated. The girl on the second scooter was clearly blackout drunk or close to it and while going at a high speed she fell off and her head violently hit the pavement. She was mostly unresponsive, bleeding from the back of her head and her face. It was very dire and very scary. Luckily the fire department were already on the scene for the car accident. It was a very traumatic scene and we are very worried about the girl. All we know is her name is Emma and she is probably around 21 years old. Not to be dramatic but it seemed like a life altering crash for her- likely a TBI. We just want to know if she is okay. Does anyone have any info on her or the group? Thank you

I think this is worth discussing. Switch the default mode of driving to "stop" from "go", reward good behavior, and reduce recklessness. I'm not familiar with the specific areas in the article or how effective they are in traffic jam situations. On stroads, I think they'd work well. There would need to be enough interval between lights to increase enough speed on the section of road in order for any observable change, over time. There are roads like this in Seattle proper, but I can't think of many. We have stoplights, signs, and recent "traffic calming" devices (speed jumps [sic]) on many many straight roads. It *does* sound a lot more economical over plopping down a traffic circle at a needed intersection but alas, traffic circles are more popular now in places where the rewarding green light concept would fit. A few state routes come to mind North of Seattle. And in the South Sound. Elsewhere, probably too. My main takeaway is this: Consider flipping the current driving paradigm on its ear, on the mass scale. How long would that take? Decades? Years? Personally? I'd give it a shot. But also "I can't drive" 25. (55? Sure!)

So far I’ve tried all the regular markets and co-ops. Cant find it at coastal either.Trying to avoid buying online but it looks like it might be my only option. If anyone has purchased animal rennet around here before or if anyone knows of a good homesteading store, I’d appreciate the tip. TIA
