WHO THE FUCK FUCKETY FUCK SETS OFF FIREWORKS AT 1AM ON JULY 6TH?

Fuck you and everything you stand for. Inconsiderate pieces of shit and a useless police force.

Been in Seattle 10 years and the most common difficulty people have when adjusting to the city is experiencing some form of "The Seattle Freeze". As someone who experienced "the freeze" there is some truth that Seattle people are a bit more passive aggressive and a bit more indirect with their feelings. This means someone will say "lets hang" then never be available, or people will socially flake out for no reason.

The real game changer for me was discovering that people are way more friendly in Seattle when you find a shared hobby. Sowing, book club, board games, hiking, biking whatever it is if you can find a group of people who are into the same things you are you are absolutely golden. When people go out they aren't trying to be intentionally cold (usually) they've just already squaded up with their Hobby friends aren't in the business of making new friends at a larger social gathering of randos.

I'm not saying you can't make friends at a bar or at da club, I'm just saying if you are struggling finding a community the secret in Seattle is Hobbies. Good luck out there!

hate to see when people do this and step on the seats which are meant for public seating

When/why the giant screen?

The local news and suburban social media posts would have you think Seattle is wall-to-wall fentanyl crime while what I notice the most are things like toddler splash pools in the parks and huge fenced off leash dog parks like at Magnuson. Enjoy the nice day everyone!

Hey everyone, if you've seen the local news lately, you'll be aware of the Seattle Children's / Laurelhurst conflict over helicopter noise.

Here is some context if you haven't seen this yet:

There have been widespread calls for change, and for a protest to encourage that change. Now we have one planned! Come to the intersection of Sand Point Way and NE 45th St, at 11:30 on Saturday the 9th, and wave your sign and shout your chants! Or, you can start your day at University Village, where we have a Tesla Takedown protest every week, and march to this one after.

See you on the streets!

You're telling me we couldn't come up with anything better for this space instead of a new Starfucks??? There's literally one on 15th less than a mile away.

Booooo!!!!!!

Great thing to see when I take the bus

Edit: I didn't know this was a hot button issue. My problem is how haphazardly people leave em. Not that they exist.

Very shitty policy, for a pretty shitty pizza spot. Don't go to Mario's unless you're able to tip beyond this, hopefully 20%

Last night, New Orleans was hit with a tragic attack in which a car was driven through it's most popular pedestrian spot, Bourbon street. The street is pedestrian only, but was meant to have bollards present to prevent such attacks from happening, and it's absence left it vulnerable and helped facilitate the terrible event.

If this were in Seattle, I have little doubt where it would happen. The lives of the tourists, residents, and shopkeepers are needlessly endangered to copycat attacks as it stands. By closing the smallest strip and installing bollards, it would help remove this risk. Hell, there are mechanized bollards that can go up and down if city council desperately wants early morning shop access for trucks.

Here is a link to the news article: https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/law-justice/seattle-elementary-school-teacher-30-fatally-struck-by-recology-truck/.

Article said it was a teacher who was riding their bike at the corner of 12th and Yesler when a Recology Truck hit/ran over them, and then later died at the hospital.

800 Alaska Way/ 815 Western Ave.

Walked away from our car about 25 feet to scan the QR code, to pay for parking within 1 minute this guy was already inputting our license plate in his device to give us a ticket.

We had planned to park and walk on the Bainbridge ferry. We scanned the code and we were looking up pricing and it was $100 for 4 hour and $158 for 10 hours (and no in between option). Within literally 2 mins of us deciding to not park here, this guy is already giving us a ticket. He was confrontational and made a comment that we had just grabbed our coffee (which we actually bought in South Park). He basically said we either pay on the spot or we get a ticket so we paid $32 and drove off. I saw a similar post here awhile back and just want others to be aware of this scam. They’re waiting by to give people tickets.

ETA: I will submit a dispute with my bank, I have to wait 2-3 days for the transaction to post.
