So a few days ago, I walked to the bus late at night and through a series of circumstances I crossed the street and used a sidewalk I didn't typically use. It was pitch black and I didn't see that the sidewalk had buckled almost 5" - resulting in my (over fifty, overweight self) stubbing my toe and tumbling head over heels .. I managed to catch myself, but my palms took a beating and were scabbed. The next day, I went walking in the day and saw the sidewalk I had tripped on the night before. I realized it was dangerous and thought "I should report this" so I did! I tried "find it fix it" but it didn't have a thing for "sidewalks" - I tried anyway.. I did a quick search and the City of Seattle page mentioned if you have a problem with a sidewalk... thing.. so I filled that out as well.. So tonight (the NEXT DAY after I submitted my report) .. we were walking to the bus, and the sidewalk I had tripped on the night before??? IT WAS REPAIRED!!! The 5" upheaval has been tempered with asphalt and is sloped in a way that prevents the fall I took! SERIOUSLY, THANK YOU SEATTLE!!! Thank you SO very very much for hearing me, for reacting, for enabling me to feel that I am helping, that I am part of a community. Thank you so much. I hope every worker involved that resulted in this random sidewalk being repaired, reads this, and knows that they are appreciated. you rock!

Hello, I have a dog that unfortunately went missing sometime around 6:00 P.M. on 8/28/26. She was last seen on 13th Ave S (the neighborhood behind the H-Mart). I have spent hours now looking for her, but to no avail. She is a brown toy poodle, and is partially blind (cataracts). She has never bitten anyone before but is somewhat skittish. If anyone could provide any updates to me I would greatly appreciate that. Thank you!

Anybody know what that noise was at 1am? It sounded like a street takeover or something. I highly doubt that, but curious nonetheles.

My daughter just turned 21 and went out to bars for the first time with college friends from out of town. They said there was no fun music or dancing or people their age - they went to the Mix which was karaoke, McMenamins had no music, they tried jazzbones which tonight was literally jazz. They want DJs and pop music - ideas?

For 11 years since july 2015 I have lived in the seattle area. Im a white male in my 40s. What i have noticed is with autism it's hard to find a girlfriend and hard to find a job in the seattle area. Even though i have a lease in kenmore until June 2027 I wouldn't mind or consider moving to another part or the country if i could find a girlfriend and a job. Washington state dvr department of rehabilitation hasn't helped me find a job at all. Is the economy in the seattle area nad right now??

I know this will quickly degenerate into the typical Freeman bash fest, but before we get to that point it is interesting that one of the commercial crown jewels of the entire Seattle metro area may be going up for sale soon. Properties like this generally do not go up for sale if they are considered a good forward-looking investment. The Freeman family, owners of Kemper Development Company, announced Thursday that it is exploring the sale of The Bellevue Collection in downtown Bellevue. The Bellevue Collection, which includes Bellevue Square, Bellevue Place and Lincoln Square North and South, will continue to operate normally during the process The company said Freeman’s retirement last year was among several factors in the decision to explore a sale. https://komonews.com/news/local/bellevue-collection-owners-explore-sale-of-downtown-landmark-lincoln-square-north-community-events-cultural-programming-snowflake-lane-1980s-ceo-jim-melby-55-million-square-feet

There’s been an aggressive guy outside my building since 9pm - yelling and screaming at anyone passing by or entering/exiting our building. He’s kicking walls, trying to get into the building, and yelling obscenities at the sky. I’ve called 911 3 times so far, no body comes, no police response, nothing. If I have to leave, I’ll have to arm myself. This city didn’t always use to be like this, I’ve called 911 over the years and this is the worst it’s ever been. People are getting hurt out here and something tragic is bound to happen because police take more than 3 hours to respond to an aggressive trespasser. I bet if I showed up to the city council members house or an SPD officer’s neighborhood acting like this guy is acting - I’d be surrounded by the entire police force within minutes. I’m sick of it - a lot of my friends and family have left Seattle for this reason, and I never thought I’d say it, but I don’t think I can live here much longer either.

My landlord is requiring me to get a professional cleaning of my apartment before I move out. I've never hired a cleaner before. Does anyone know of any low-cost cleaning services in Seattle? I live in a 200 sqft studio near Green Lake.

My 2 year old is obsessed with trains and I think it would be fun to take him on the link this weekend. I’m looking for recommendations that might be close by any of the light rail stops that would be entertaining for a 2 year old and not too far of a walk. I’ll also have my 4 month old with me. Looking for any activities, food, treats, sights, etc. we’ll catch the train at the MLT station. Any suggestions?
