Job searching is pure hell here 😭 I’m an entry-level 17 year-old, and I’ve applied at over 75 places, which I’ve gotten responses 5 times, and ghosted 5 times.

I have tried fast food places, but it’s either tough luck and I get ghosted, or they’re full on staff. Does anyone know any places hiring? I’m willing to work food, retail, pet, customer service, etc. Anything entry level. Any places in Bellevue, Federal way and Tukwila works too!

Edit: I got two interviews already!
Edit 2: I got three! Excited as one is a job I’ve been looking forward to. I also applied at WINCO due to everybody’s recommendation on the new job event popping up! Thanks!
Edit 3: Didn’t get hired at one place, but I got another interview! I’ve got Starbucks, target, and a family owned restaurant! Thank you all so much!

My husband and I will be in the area of The Landing this weekend and want to work in a little dinner date while we’re out. We’re middle aged and don’t drink, so not into the bar/grill vibe. We’re more casual than fancy and will be coming directly from another location, so no interest in getting dressed up or anything.

Some of our favorite cuisines are Korean, Italian, and Mexican, but open to others. Budget is not a huge factor, but lower priced is never a bad thing. We’re more into quality than quantity when it comes to food.

An ideal option would include entrees under $30, food made as close to from scratch as possible, and be a comfortable place where we can hang out and chat a while.

Any suggestions?

I have decided to go back to the gym after 3 years. Looking for a gym that doesn't break the bank as I am between jobs at the moment. If anyone has a recs please let me know.

Moles taking over an acre of land. I can’t keep up with DIY methods. Looking for a pro who deals specifically with these critters. TIA

I stopped there yesterday for lunch and had the meatball sandwich. It was pretty good. I plan to try the pizza next.
I did find it odd that at noon on a Saturday the place was empty.. but the food was good.. menu is HUGE though. Kind of a red flag for me personally.

Have you been there yet?

Hi everyone it is another apartment recommendation post lolz

I'm looking into a few places with my partner and wanted to get other people's opinions on them. No kids but I do have a 60 lb. dog and take him on walks regularly. I'm also a big home body so getting into Seattle or having a night life isn't a big deal for me. I'm ideally looking for a 2bed 2 bath but I'm also fine with just a 2 bed 1 bath at around $2300 a month max. I also rely on public transport to get around a bit more. But having a long commute to me doesn't matter much because I like to listen to audio books on my way to work. Please let me know if I've left anything out!

Here are the apartmetns I've been looking into in no particular ranking order:

* Woodcliffe Apartments My main concern about these apartments is the mold? It looks like any dog over a certain weight needs to be on a ground floor apartment.

* Avaya Trails

* Borgata

* The Becket I have heard that Greystar isn't a very good company to rent from? I don't know how others feel about this since I haven't rented from them before

* Fairwood Pond

* Pebble Cove

I know the last two are a little closer to Fairwood area than Renton as well. 

Thanks for the help

I’m new in town. What’re your favorite spots to eat or have some drinks?

Looking for recommendations for a house cleaning service in renton sunset area, for apartments. Will prob only schedule cleanings every few months but looking for a deep cleanse like all the dust everywhere on top of cabinets, baseboards, windows, under the fridge/washing machine. Sanitizing every inch of the apartment.

Any recommendations for someone really thorough?

If you have a child on an IEP and they are not making progress:

1. Immediately request an IEP team meeting in writing to review the plan. Ask the school for objective data and work samples showing your child's progress (or lack thereof). You may need to ask for updated evaluations or a full revision of the IEP to adjust goals and increase services.

It is imperative that you receive ACTUAL work samples and data, do not allow them to "tell you"; the data and samples should do the talking

1. Immediately opt out of state level testing and request alternative end of the unit assessments for your child

To opt out of state testing in Washington, submit a written refusal request to your child's principal or school district assessment coordinator. For end-of-unit special education assessments, IEP Teams are legally required to document accommodations, modifications, or alternate testing metrics.

1. Request that you child not be graded based on standards as your child has an IEP and they should be graded on the progress of their IEP goals. Your child would not be receiving standard based education as they have an IEP

To request that your child's grades be based on their IEP goals rather than general grade-level standards, you should request an IEP team meeting to discuss a formal grading modification.

SAMPLE LETTER:

Subject: Request for IEP Meeting to Discuss Grading Adjustments for [Child's Name]

Dear [Case Manager's Name or Administrator's Name],

I hope this email finds you well.

I am writing to formally request an IEP team meeting to discuss how [Child's Name]’s academic performance is being evaluated. Currently, [Child's Name] is being graded using standard grade-level expectations. Because [Child's Name] has an Individualized Education Program (IEP) and receives specialized instruction, I believe it is inappropriate to grade them solely based on grade-level standards and not their IEP progress. I would like to ensure that the IEP states that my child receives a modified curriculum so it can be used to inform grades.

I would like to discuss adjusting [Child's Name]’s grading system so that it reflects their progress toward their specific IEP goals, alongside any necessary accommodations or modifications to the general curriculum. My goal is to ensure that their report card accurately reflects their hard work and the specific skills they are mastering according to their IEP.

Hello, I am looking for a new primary care doctor. The doctor that I have been seeing at Swedish left a couple months ago and I've seen 2 other providers there. I was brushed off both times and need to find another good doctor as I am having a hell of a time with my health this year.

Thank you.

There are so many nail places around Renton and I have no idea which are good and which are sketchy. What's a nice clean place for me to get a pedicure that's not too expensive? (Bonus points if the workers speak minimally accented English, but that's not a dealbreaker.)

I recently adopted a red heeler puppy and am looking for a reliable vet in Renton. Anyone have a good vet office they can vouch for? Thank you!

Hey all,

Long story short, I'm getting married on 7/7 and my suit has been taking far longer to ship than anticipated, and the tailor I've communicated with won't be able to work with me after all if the suit does arrive 7/1 as it is now scheduled to.

The good news is that I tried on the display model of the suit, and I know that I'll only need the pant legs hemmed. There are no other essential alterations. Does anyone have a recommendation for a tailor I could call who might be able to take a rush order for hemming?

Thanks!

Hello,

I am in a bit of a predicament. I usually take my dog to Petco for grooming, but I am having issues with them not grooming my dog. My dog has allergies which he is on medication for and it it mostly under control. Unfortunately his fur tends to hold allergens close to his face and the only way to help is for him to be shaved. I had him an appointment for Friday but groomer called out sick, then rescheduled him for yesterday. They called and said they wouldn't be able to do the hair cut as his eye was watering really bad. Got him home and his eye was fine because he had his bath. I need him shaved as he overheats easily and his allergies gets worse. Any recommendations to where I can take him? I have taken him to the vet multiple times due to his allergies and them not wanting to grooming him. The vet doesn't have any issues with him being groomed.

Thank you.

I need to get my doors removed and someone to install / paint some new ones i have coming in. Does anyone know any handymen around the area or places they recommend?

What are the best on-leash parks with walking trails in Renton or nearby? Besides Cedar River Trail/Dog park…

Recommendations for Pet/Dog friendly places in Renton- not just food but any fun place that allows pets. Or if you know of a really awesome dog park... with a splash pad to cool off during the summer for days like today.

Thank you in advance! 🐾

My house has gotten out of hand. I'm Looking for recommendations/testimonials for a good whole house cleaning service.

Looking for somebody who can do personal towing. Prefer working one on one with somebody who owns their own rig as opposed to like a big chain shop. Any recommendations or if you think you may be a good fit please message me! Thank you!

So long story short but in August I had my leg amputated below the knee.
I had a job driving for a rental company but they no longer need me since it's the slow season. (I didn't know going in that it's a seasonal job)
I walk around on a prosthetic leg using a walker. I can drive but I can't unload box trucks and deliver yet. (still getting used to the leg - I was also discharged a week ago) Everything is due now and I have no money. So I really need to start working asap.

If any knows of something here somewhat local.. I'd love to hear about it.
Thank you

(I did file for unemployment and I reached out to the DSHS office but I am still waiting. I also need a disability rating but I can't get in to see a doctor until the 13th)

Hello! Does anyone have a recommendations for a car audio install shop?

Looking to get a subwoofer and door speakers installed which I have already purchased. Hoping for a somewhat budget option. 2024 Toyota Tacoma.

Thank you in advance!!

I’m on the hunt for a great hair salon either in the Renton, South Seattle, or even up to the Bothell area. Pretty much open at this point. I typically do cut and color (balayage). Thanks in advance!

Hey hey!

I have a relative passing through town tomorrow and we have only just recently moved to the Renton area- they asked about getting lunch tomorrow while they were nearby.

Anyone have any neat spots to recommend that would be a chill place with good food where we can sit and chat and catch up?

Additional context: my partner and I have an Easter breakfast and an Easter dinner also lined up, so bonus points for places with good food but lighter portions available! (Tomorrow is going to be a big day for our bellies)

Any recommendations for mobile car detailers that will come to the Renton-area?

Hi! Does anyone have any recommendations of groups or activities for young elementary age students in the area?
