The lawsuit alleges Washington has for over two decades "ignored" federal laws that bar immigrants without legal status from being eligible for state postsecondary education benefits like grants and student loans. The Department of Justice on Thursday also announced similar lawsuits targeting three other states, Arizona, New Mexico, and Oregon. That brings the total number of states the Trump administration has sued over these policies to 21. The online database The Higher Ed Immigration Portal estimates roughly 15,000 undocumented students are enrolled in higher education in Washington state. ~ Four states sued in a single day over a Washington law that has been on the books since 2003. Nobody discovered a problem this week. They just got around to the W's.

Looking to take my daughter (5yo) for her first pedi for a mommy and me day. I’m also in dire need to get my nails done. Any recommendations?

The man who is giving people info said there are around 7 or 8 the moment in this one area

Rsvp here! https://forms.gle/2hf96AePDfrKFLjn9 I’m putting together a fun little free event, would love to see more participants! Bring a trinket, talk with others in the neighborhood, trade your trinket for a new one!

I’m from the South and came to WA for a few days, passing through Olympia, Tacoma, and Forks. I have a car spotting instagram account where I post very clean or unique/quirky cars from the late ‘80s through the early 2000s. I couldn’t stop finding cars to post to the account. How does Washington have so many examples of mint condition, perfectly preserved cars from that era? Particularly old 4Runners and Tacomas but it seems to span all makes and models. It’s definitely a statistical anomaly from what I’ve seen. Are there just more enthusiasts here? Is everyone in Washington just extremely cool compared to everywhere else? Or is it more that you guys tend to hold onto cars for longer and take care of them more?

I just want to rant about how bad Seattle is. Btw, I am actually leaving Seattle in a few months for these exact reasons, in case anyone says anything. I’m so sick of trying to walk my dog or take the kids I watch to a park and constantly having to worry about my safety. I literally have to carry a fanny pack of weapons to protect myself because the police here are absolutely useless. Being screamed at, having things stolen, and having the sidewalks around your neighborhood trashed is exhausting. I’ve only lived here for two years and I feel like I’ve truly seen the worst of this country. I’m sorry, but I don’t have sympathy for the drug addicts running around my neighborhood park with a machete, or for getting chased when I’m just trying to walk my dog, or being screamed at while I’m with the small children I watch. And knowing that the only person I can rely on to protect myself is me is exhausting. Okay, rant over. It’s just exhausting that this is simply how this city is, along with the people who constantly enable and defend it. I’ve lived in many cities and states and truly have never seen anything like this.

Why is the sound system on the new pier 62 so bad? Its nearly brand new I thought but It sounds worse then a high school PA system. Not only are huge sections of the sounds missing, there are literally hisses and pops as if someone were wiggling the cables and actual power losses, the volume does not stay constant from second to second! You know when you try to take a pic with your phone and the auto focus sometimes has a hard time finding its truth so it goes from sharp to fuzzy and then back to sharp few times? It sounds like that. I expected not the best in town or even fair at best because of location, and comparing to some of the incredible places we have for music, but it's so far past disappointing and in the "holy crap thats hard to listen too" point. People put their fingers in their ears while listening as if it was a ambulance siren. Anyone else notice this power fluctuations thing? I'll always remember the lucky chance I got to hear Nina Simone in the latest 90s! Or the Doors with that singer from the cult! And ani defranco. Or indigo girls doing JC superstar! Wow those were life long memories. What happened to those level productions? What happened to that sound system? I feel like some did the classic "we could just use cheaper products and then pocket the difference" scam.

Anyone else going through the annual annoying fruit fly influx?

We’re in the Bird Town area, and my fiancé saw this in the sky at 9:45 pm. Anyone else see this?

I’m starting at UW this fall and will be living in a dorm. I’m bringing my car because I need it to get to Redmond on weekends and occasionally during the week for grocery runs or hiking trips, but I don’t expect to drive it around campus very much. My plan is to have a bike and use it for getting around UW and Seattle. Given how expensive and difficult parking is around the city, I’d rather leave my car somewhere and bike to it when I actually need it instead of paying for a UW parking permit that I might barely use. Ideally, I’d like to find somewhere within about a 5–20 minute bike ride of UW where I could legally and safely leave my car for several days at a time. Free would obviously be great, but I’d also consider something inexpensive, like an unused driveway, apartment parking spot, or a cheap monthly arrangement. I’m especially interested in hearing from other students or Seattle residents about what actually works. For example: Is a UW parking permit worth it if you only use your car occasionally? Are there neighborhoods where students commonly leave their cars and bike to campus? Does anyone rent out an unused driveway or parking space cheaply? Are there student housing/apartment arrangements where someone has an extra spot? Are there legitimate free or very cheap options I’m overlooking? Is there a particular area near UW I can park on the street that would make sense if I need to drive to Redmond regularly? If another student has an unused parking spot, I’d also be happy to make it mutually beneficial. I could help with grocery runs, errands, moving things, yard work, etc., contribute some money each month, or potentially give swim lessons—I’m a competitive swimmer and swim instructor. I’m not looking to abuse the 72-hour street parking rule or leave my car somewhere illegally. I’m mainly trying to figure out the most practical and affordable way to keep a car while living on campus and otherwise getting around by bike. Would appreciate advice from anyone who has actually dealt with this around UW/Seattle.
