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 most 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 15–20 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.

The agreement, which is subject to court approval, resolves litigation alleging that Meta designed its social media platforms with addictive features, exposed young users to mental health risks, improperly collected data from children under 13 without parental consent and misled the public about the safety of its platforms. Under the settlement, Washington is guaranteed $237 million and could receive nearly $339 million over the next 10 years. The changes accomplish several of the goals Brown pursued unsuccessfully through proposed state legislation over the past two years aimed at restricting addictive social media feeds for children. ~ Two legislative sessions produced nothing. One settlement produced a two-hour daily cap, a midnight lockout and a ban on school-day notifications.

Hey, I probably already know the answer to this, but does anyone know of a local spot that actually uses saffron in their biriyani? Also most are missing the fried onions Id expect, I guess a better question is who has legit biriyani in and around Kirkland. I’ve tried a few, some better than others but none really hit right, at $25 a portion on average Im st the point of asking for recommendations

I think the 12 V battery on my i3 is off gassing and I need to get it taken look at, looks like Swedish automotive was an option, but they’re not open again till Monday. Anyone have recommendations on either BMW or electric car mechanics or specifically an experience with an i3?

So the peak will be around midnight and it's only 11°above the horizon. It's roughly ESE so kinda over Ranier. Where should I go (up to 2 hours away) to see it best?

We’ve all seen the horrific devastation in Nepal, and there is credible evidence suggesting towns near the Swiss alps are vulnerable for a similar event. Would a similar glacier event in the cascades be able to reach Seattle or other dense population areas?

Couldn’t grab it with my dogs on leash, too. Figured I’d let someone know.

Hi everyone! Coming into town for the concert Sunday night from Vancouver BC… We will be heading home right after, wondering if anyone can suggest a good parking lot or area to park that won’t be insanely chaotic to get out of and onto I5 heading back home? 😊
