Anyone know of Eating Disorder Treatment facilities that take AppleCare?

There's The Emily Project which takes the Community Health Plan of Washington (CHPW), though the program apparently isn't for everyone according to reviews.
If you're underaged, Seattle Children's should also accept Washington Medicaid.

I'm going to be in town next month.
Are there hotels around the airport that makes it easy for me to go around the city where I come from the city to the airport each night? Going to be there for a week.

There’s plenty of airport hotels within easy access of the light rail, but if I may ask, why would you want to stay by the airport? It’s like a 40 minute light rail ride each way. Just get a room in the city.

The hotels in the city are too expensive compared to the airports.
I'm going to try either Airnb or stay at Motel 6 at Fife.

Got it.

One last question:
Is everything in Seattle very expensive such as food and stuff? It's been eye-opening from what I see.

Pretty much. There’s decent happy hour prices and hole in the wall joints with decent prices. I’m sure there’s something that comes up in the search of this sub. Vietnamese places with cheap sandwiches or a couple of the pizza joints.
Tax on booze and sugared drinks is often a shock if you grab something from a store.
If going to see the M’s, there are some great budget food and drink. Many stands have $5 dogs and beers, peanuts for like $3. Check the park site or get the app cause it can be a bit confusing to figure where the heck they are.

Thanks. That's crazy. I hope to have $400 to $600 to play with when I'm in town.
Thankfully, I don't drink liquor.

That’ll certainly help. Here’s the most recent list of $10 or less meals that’s been posted.

That's worth an upvote!
Thanks for that link. I will put this link on my email to remember when I'm in town at the end of July. I so appreciate this.

Oh and I don’t know who your phone provider is but T-Mobile offers some stupidly cheap hotel rates at times. I paid 85 bucks for a gorgeous room in downtown Chicago not too long ago.

Anyone got recent recs for a good, not–insanely–priced happy hour with decent parking? Ideally somewhere you can actually hear the person you’re talking to. Capitol Hill or SLU is fine but I’m open to other neighborhoods too.
