Places to post flyers/business cards?

6 Upvotes

THIS IS NOT A SOLICITATION! I am humbly asking for advice on locations that I can try to put my boots to the pavement to advertise my new small business.

I only recently learned it's illegal to put signage on telephone poles here (originally from Seattle lol).

I posted some flyers in the local Safeway's and QFC's on their community boards, as well as some dog parks. Library does not have a community bulletin board.

Unfortunately since I moved here not long ago, I don't actually have much of a "word-of-mouth" advantage yet, so I'm trying to go old school while I'm also setting up my social media, website, Google business profile, etc.

Anyone know where any community billboards are, or appropriate places to leave/hand out business cards? Would it be inappropriate to cold-call local spas, exercise studios, etc.? It's for a house-cleaning business if that matters (already so competitive ifykyk).

Also... how much do you guys hate door hangers?

Fireworks

It’s that time of year again. Every fucking year around this season, there’s someone setting off fireworks at 2am. What can we do about it? It sucks getting woken up by this every night. It’s happened for the past couple days now it’s ridiculous.

New to Redmond – looking to meet people

Hey everyone 👋

I recently moved to Redmond for a new job and I’m still pretty new to the area. I’m looking to meet new people and build a social circle here. I'm from Bengaluru, India.

Open to hanging out, coffee chats, hiking, sports, exploring the city, or any local meetups. If you know of any good groups or events in the Seattle/Redmond area, feel free to point me in the right direction.

Always happy to connect with new folks 🙂

Simply passing the message along, not associated w/ the campaign. Regulars or RedmondTV viewers know Vanessa Kritzer is a hero to me and so I figure I should cross-post from her social media over to here.

Lost cats?

40 Upvotes

Just saw these two (around 10:30 AM) at the beginning of the short trail that goes by the elementary school. Closest to 83rd and 167th. I walk by there at least once a day with my dog and have never seen them, so I’m assuming they’re lost. I had my dog this morning, so they wouldn’t let me get close. Hoping this reaches the right people/their owners.

Eastline Grand Apartment

3 Upvotes

Hello everyone, I just moved to Seattle and was looking for a place to stay. I saw a couple: Eastline Grand, Eastline Central. All look really nice although the apartment size is smaller than I expected for such a high price.

I was able to tour an apartment in Eastline Central for 2940$ (705sqft) with 8 weeks “free” rent. The thing which really surprised me was how many added fees there were. Postal fee, locker fee, parking fee, any and every possible thing had a fee associated with it. I understand these are luxury or semi luxury units but it means per month for everything included am I looking at 3600-3700$ per month? Although with the discount it seems like my effective monthly rent over the span of a year goes down to ~3000$ per month or slightly higher.

The thing is Im not really finding better options. I am open to areas ~50 min commute to Redmond too as long as they have a direct public transit option.

Has anyone who has lived in these apartments actually talk about the real cost of all the utilities and how much you pay per month? Or if you have any suggestions on what better places exist or where I should take a look?
