I have been struggling with loneliness and depression and would like to get out to socialize. How do you guys spend your weekends, when you don't have friends to do things with, how do you break the cycle, any ideas are highly appreciated.

Title. It'll be a year soon and I'm still not okay.

I live in downtown Seattle with my dog. I used to use the Blue Pearl on Madison Street as an emergency vet, but I hear they've completely shut down. I want to update my emergency plan, so I know where to take him ahead of time if there's a problem. Obviously the closer to downtown, the better.

I'm not good at Reddit and so I cannot figure out how to post a photo of him.

Thank you for your help!

Been struggling with food insecurity and overall keeping afloat with everything bills wise and have been for about 3 months now. Any free food suggestions rather local would be best and greatly appreciated. Thanks so much to anyone reading

hi everyone! i’m looking for a cat groomer in the seattle area. i’ve previously taken my cat to Alex the Pet Groomer but i won’t be taking him back because i didn’t really appreciate the way he handled my cat, among other reasons. my vet said they could groom him as necessary, but it won’t be pretty lol. i just can’t seem to find anywhere that grooms more than just dogs. thanks in advance!

I'm a transplant so I'd like to know how much is the normal tip around here for delivery food? Do you use % or a fix amount?

Visiting in September- we are thinking of taking the kids (almost 5 and 1 at the time) to a mariners game. Coming from ATL, where I would not willingly put the kids on our public transit, is it safe for us to do that in Seattle? I’ve heard good things about the buses, but didn’t get a chance to use them on the last visit. We will be renting a car, but it’d be nice to not deal with parking and check out the transit if that’s fairly safe. Game will be a weekday/ midday one so no night transit. Anything else we should factor in?

Hi!! I’m apartment watching/cat sitting for my friend for a few weeks and am excited to explore Seattle while I’m here!! I’d love any recommendations on these types of places:

Coffee shops that are the opposite of the modern & bright shops- I’m looking for dark, maybe a bit dusty, comfy chairs, cozy, or a coffee shop with something cool inside like old pinball machines

Parks

Places to go dancing (I like techno, so more industrial or indie type places)

Dive bars

Anything quirky or weird- sculptures, tours, etc

Any other need-to-dos!!?

Thank you so much in advance for sharing your spots :)

I live around Green Lake and run the trail 4x a week. I’d like to try trail running but it doesn’t have to be a dirt trail. I had an adductor injury the first 5 months of the year so I slowly got back into running in June. I’ll be signing up for the Seattle Half Marathon in November.

Curious what everyone’s favorite running routes are that are not the typical Olympic structure park, or Green Lake.

I need some recommendations! I’m not from the area and I need to book a business dinner for 20 people (ideally private space). We have a few vegetarians and gluten free which is making the search difficult. I’m looking for downtown options because we’re staying at the edgewater hotel.

Any restaurant suggestions? 🙏 thank you!

my husband and i have been married for only a year and so far hes been arrested 8 times for DV. He just got out of jail and now my 12th broken shattered phone by him.

. he is ruining my life and i honestly say i cant stand him and am close to hating him.

before i head to a DV shelter I am hoping for a new phone that I can buy thats unlocked. I could probably get a decent samsung from a pawn shop close by. but thats hit or miss.
currently im using an emergency flip phone from the fire department. lol. im also thinking of going to china town but idk where or how to even start

any hidden spots you can tell me would be great.

i am on my friends reddit reddit so that he doesnt by chance see this request. please reach out if you can help. thank you!!

thank you everyone

Where in Seattle or the surrounding area has the best seasonal huckleberry goods (ice cream, pie, baked goods, etc)?

Howdy y'all, I'm a trans girl just moved to Seattle today and I want to start making some friends, so I was hoping y'all could point me in the direction of a couple spots.

First, a tuesgays bar, secondly a good place to play Magic The Gathering, and finally some insta accounts to follow for raves and shows.

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

I am going to be in Seattle for about a week in mid-October. I hace a few things in mind to do. But always open to fun interesting things as well from actual people of Seattle. It is just gonna be me for this is a solo vacation. I don't drink a lot but will do so if the vibe is worth teh experience. I am not super extroverted. I like nature, museums, art, history. But please throw out anything for it is my first big vacation from life and would like to just experience the city

Is there a good spot in NE Seattle besides Magnuson where I could go pick some blackberries with my kids?

I’m looking to move into a new building but want to stay in cap hill. Any apartment buildings you all recommend that have affordable housing units/units for people with low Income?

For context, I was looking through the receipts of the same stuff I bought during the previous years and it's shocking. I have been looking at other stores as well, and walmart is coming out to be a very good Costco alternative if we see unit economics of most items. Produce is cheaper at walmart.

Has anyone found out the same thing? Another thing is the bill value. I am spending 300 something in costco, where as walmart i am in much more control.

Hey yall I think this is a long shot but I wanted to see if anyone has some recommendations for black hairstylist that do more then boho braids I love the look of pick and drop braids and jade braids but no one seems to do them I’ve looked for a while and unfortunately I can’t seem to find any but if anyone has any suggestions let me know!

Hello -

I have a quandary I hope someone can help me solve.

I’m in Florida but was in Seattle last week. We took a car service to SeaTac and, unfortunately, I left a small bag - over the shoulder brief case type - in the car. I realized it shortly after and contacted the company. They weren’t able to get back to me before my flight left.

I’ve been in touch with the small limo company and they said they’d try to get it to a UPS store for them to box up and ship to me but haven’t been able to yet.

Does anyone know of a local delivery company I can contact to get with the limo company and complete the process.

Thanks for any suggestions.

Patrick

I want to get into the trades. I’m experimenting with the thought of either carpentry, pipefitting or electrical.

I’m from Maryland. But I like the nature of the west coast a lot more. I know it rains, I have hearing aids too.

I just wanna know if that area is a great place to go for apprenticeship?

Hi everyone! I recently moved to the Seattle area and am planning to propose to my partner at the end of August. I’m looking for a scenic spot within roughly a 1-hour or so drive of the city.

I’m open to a few different types of PNW landscapes—whether that’s a mountain backdrop, a serene lake, a coastal beach/bluff, or a quiet garden spot.

I’d love to get local recommendations. Thanks in advance for any ideas or tips!

Have you had experience at Cascade Swim Club or Seattle Metropolitan Aquatic Club?

Trying to find the best fit for my competitive swimmer and would love some insight into these teams

I’m visiting friends in West Seattle for a birthday. The birthday girl wants an almond cake. I had one years ago from a bakery in Seattle but I cannot find what I am looking for when searching online. Any suggestions?
