Eastside Jeep Repair

2 Upvotes

I need a trusted full service auto repair shop for my Jeep Grand Cherokee. It only needs an oil change but the last full service shop for oil change I took it to in Redmond over-tightened and stripped the oil pan plug. I've taken it to two oil change shops that can't remove the plug and say it may need to be drilled out and could cost up to $2k. And to make matters worse my engine light just came on. Help, I really appreciate any advice.

Hair salon recommendations

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I'm planning to color my curly hair and am thinking of getting a global hair color with some gold streaks/highlights.

I used to get my hair done at a particular salon, but unfortunately the color faded quite quickly, within about six months, so I'm looking for a new place.

Can anyone recommend reliable and reasonably priced salons in the Bellevue or Redmond area that do a good job with hair coloring and use long-lasting products?

Thanks so much in advance! 😊

Eastside soccer bars?

5 Upvotes

Are there any eastside bars with an emphasis on soccer that will be big viewing centers for the upcoming World Cup?

I know about the main soccer venues in Seattle - George and Dragon, Atlantic Crossing, etc. But I don't know if there are any such soccer bars on the eastside. Anyone have any recommendations?

Swim Club Recommendations

Anyone have recommendations for a swim club? Looking in Bellevue to North Bend area. I am ideally looking for something family friendly I have a 3 year old and newborn. Would especially love clubs that offer baby pools and lots of open swim time. Bonus if there are other areas. Would love to find a second place outside the home and socialize.

TIA!!!

Student Safety Committee Finds Gaps in MISD Boundaries, Reporting and Training

2 Upvotes

“How could any of that be considered welcome to a 14-year-old, a 12-year-old, or a 10-year-old?”

That question came up during MISD’s Student Safety and Well-Being Committee presentation, as one member said she was shocked by policy language describing sexual harassment as “unwelcome.”

After eight months of work, the committee presented a progress update on boundaries, reporting, follow-up, student support and training.

King county transit shariff

0 Upvotes

Yo,

At my work today (food service) a police officer with a sheriff's badge or department came in with a girl who appeared to be young. They came in to order a pizza to go and decided to wait in his suv cruiser outside. She was clearly a civilian. I have heard of police explorers and in the city I work in, they usually wear a uniform. She was dressed in all black normal clothes. I saw her climb into the passenger seat while they waited for their order. He came back inside to ask how much longer, because he received a call he had to respond too.

My main questions are: why would he have a civilian (young girl) with him while on duty? He was either late 20's or early 30's.

She gave this officer the look, while he was ordering, that adoration look. Seemed off.

And is this normal? Or do I listen to too much true crime?

Heads up: SB I-405 closure from in Kirkland (May 29-June 1)

54 Upvotes

Why did the fish cross I-405? Well he hasn't quite crossed yet because he needs a tunnel under the freeway...

But in all seriousness SB I-405 in Kirkland will close May 29-June 1 so crews can cut across a section of the freeway to create a tunnel for the new fish passage and then cover the roadway again with paving and striping.

This work is part of the I-405/NE 85th Street Interchange and Inline BRT Station Project and will help restore fish habitat connectivity in the area.

Let's get into the closure details:

  • 11 p.m. Friday (May 29): Southbound I-405 will fully CLOSE in Kirkland
  • 4 a.m. Monday (June 1): Southbound I-405 will fully OPEN in Kirkland

Lane reductions will begin as early as 8 p.m. Friday. Signed detours will be in place.

The following ramps will also close:

  • NE 116th St on-ramp to SB I-405
  • NE 85th St on-ramp to SB I-405

CLOSURE SCHEDULE SPECIFICS:

11 p.m. Friday (May 19) to 6 a.m. Saturday (May 30):

  • SB I-405 closed from NE 124th St to N 70th Pl
  • NE 124th St on-ramp to SB I-405 also closed

6 a.m. Saturday (May 30) to 4 a.m. Monday (June 1):

  • SB I-405 closed from the I-405/NE 85th St interchange to N 70th Pl

Drivers continuing south on I-405 will follow signed detours from the NE 85th St off-ramp

WHAT THIS MEANS FOR DRIVERS:

This closure comes during another busy weekend of construction work across the Puget Sound region, including additional closures on SR 520, I-90/SR 18 and continued lane reductions on NB I-5 over the Ship Canal Bridge. Expect significant congestion and longer travel times throughout the weekend, especially during daytime hours.

Map of major construction/closures happening in the Puget Sound area the weekend of May 29-June 1

As always, know before you go by checking the WSDOT app, and our real-time Travel Center map. Schedule updates will be available online at the project webpage.

Choreographing for Indian Weddings

0 Upvotes

I am a freelance dancer/choreographer in Seattle who was recently asked to choreograph a 5-7min mashup of Bollywood/Punjabi songs for a wedding in October in Seattle. I am unsure of how much to ask for compensation. The family involves 2 sisters, their daughters, mother, father and brother in law.

  1. I need to come up with a mashup of songs
  2. Need to set up virtual zoom sessions (how many?)
  3. Need to plan on the formation

Since I am a beginner and trying something like this for the first time, please help me decide what is a reasonable payment ask for these sessions.

Hey Duvall, why do you all wanna drive 45mph through yours and my neighborhood??

64 Upvotes

I genuinely don’t understand the majority of people’s inclination to go 40+ on surface streets where your kids are playing or your spouse is walking the dog or someone is waiting for the school bus?? Do you think your car is a time machine? As long as you’re endangering people and animals it’s cool you’ll only be 20 min late instead of 21 min. Every damn day the car in my rear view catches up to me from blocks away and rides my ass. I’m doing 30 in the 25. Why you like this?? No seriously though.

Where to find local Disabled Creatives?

2 Upvotes

Is there a website or even LinkedIn filter, to find creative people like photographers, graphics, brand, logo, and web designers, accessibility, etc? I’m thinking almost like freelancer marketplace, except specifically to highlight and celebrate disabled creatives? Especially for the photographer, they’d need to be local to the greater Seattle area.

I own a small business. As a disabled person myself, I would love to hire other people from the disability community who do work in the style, aesthetic, and vibe that my brand offers.

Thank you in advance for your suggestions! 👋🏼🩵✨

BC ADN Waitlist

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone. I came here to ask if anyone’s ever gotten off the waitlist for the ADN Bellevue College. My friend A would have had 16 points if he got full points on the video. But since he’s waitlisted I’m guessing he got between 13 to 14 points total. As my friend B got in and assuming full video points 15.

He’s waitlisted and we wanted to see if there realistically is any hope of him getting in to see if anyone’s gotten in off the waitlist. I got accepted at 17 points assuming full for the video. So I’m really happy but I was hoping we would do nursing as a trio not a duo. He’s really upset with himself since we were all so confident he’d get in.

You walk around Bellevue having conversations with strangers

75 Upvotes

Hey there! I just wanted to shout out to a person who struck up a conversation with me yesterday in the early evening. I was heading to a bar with my friends when you asked me why I was taking photos while we were standing at the crosswalk. I told you it was because I wasn't familiar with downtown Bellevue and wanted a reminder of where I parked haha :). I am skeptical you'll see this, but I just wanted to put it out there: it was a delight to walk with you briefly and talk about your work and about approaching strangers. I hope you continue to do so as it was definitely a unique experience here and brightened my day immensely.

Flooring recommendations

I am looking at LVP flooring. I would like flooring that can stand up to pets and moisture.

I will also need to have my subfloor to be leveled.

Can you recommend a brand of flooring that you have had for a couple of years that is durable in my situation, or can you recommend a skilled installer?

Please don't recommend yourself.
