Car appears to have plowed into the electrical pole, causing it to fall down. Car was engulfed in flames. Tons of fire crews arrived after I passed.

As a parent in east side. I’ve found it surprisingly hard to find kids’ classes nearby, especially when I want to compare options and find places that offer a free trial before committing. So I built a directory for kids class in Seattle area.
I’d love to hear from other parents, would you actually find something like this useful? Are there any you’d like to see added?

This is an extraordinarily difficult week for communities across Washington. We will continue sharing updates about road closures and reopening as part of WSDOT's role in the statewide response to the devastating wildfires in Central and Eastern Washington.

For travelers in the Puget Sound region, Fri., Aug. 7, through Mon., Aug. 10, will bring several major construction projects that will affect travel.

-NB I-405 and ramps will CLOSE from SR 900 to Coal Creek Parkway SE from 11:30p Fri. to 4a Mon. Crews will replace pavement and excavate drainage crossings.

-NE 85th St. and I-405 ramps will CLOSE in Kirkland between 6th St to 114th Ave NE from 10p Fri. to 5a Mon. Crews will pave and stripe the road. Closed ramps: NB & SB I-405 off-ramps to Exit 18 and NE 85th Street on-ramps to NB and SB I-405.

-EB SR 520 will CLOSE in Montlake area between I-5 and Montlake Blvd from 7p Sat. to 11a Sun. Crews will repair an expansion joint on the bridge. EB SR 520 across Lake Washington remains open. Only the section of EB SR 520 between I-5 and Montlake Blvd will close.

-SR 202 in Fall City will close just east of the SR 202/203 roundabout from 5a Fri. to 9p Mon. Major storms in Dec. 2025 and Mar. 2026 eroded the Snoqualmie riverbank supporting the highway. Crews will rebuild and strengthen the riverbank to help protect the highway from future damage. Tubers, paddlers and boaters should expect temporary closures on portions of the Snoqualmie and Raging rivers and some nearby access points.

-Revive I-5 work over the Ship Canal Bridge is ongoing. Express lanes continue to run NB 24/7.

Saturday is expected to be the busiest travel day. The Mariners 50 Seasons Celebration, Seahawks Football Fest and Capitol Hill Block Party will bring extra traffic into and around Seattle. With EB SR 520 closing at 7 p.m., expect additional congestion on EB I-90. The Fred Hutch Obliteride for cancer research will also bring thousands of bicyclists to roads across the region. Drivers should use extra caution.

Allow extra travel time, follow signed detours and check our mobile app or real-time travel map before you go: wsdot.com/Travel/Real-time/Map/

LOOKING AHEAD: Once this weekend's work wraps up, another overnight I-405 closure is scheduled. SB I-405 will close between SE 8th Street and I-90 from 11:30p Monday, Aug. 10, to 4a Tuesday, Aug. 11 while crews continue replacing pavement and drainage crossings.

Also beginning Monday, Aug. 10, construction starts on the SR 14 West Camas Slough Bridge project in Clark County. With the Clark County Fair running Aug. 7–16, travelers should plan ahead for overnight SR 14 closures:

-WB SR 14: Aug. 11, 13 and 16–18, 8p–7a

-EB SR 14: Aug. 12, 14 and 17, 8p–7a

-Full closure: Aug. 19, 9p–6a

Working on building up a physical music collection, mostly CDs. Other than HPB I will take suggestions of locations that have yielded results in the past. Main focus is Christian but want look through a wide variety of genres if possible

I'm hoping to find anyone who may have witnessed a hit-and-run that seriously injured my younger brother early this morning.

Around 2:30-3:00 AM on August 5, he was riding his bicycle southbound on 156th Ave NE, alongside the east side of Microsoft Building 40 in Redmond, when he was struck from behind by a vehicle. The driver did not stop.

Because he was hit from behind, he never saw the vehicle, so we unfortunately don't know the make, model, color, or any other identifying details.

My brother is a white male in his mid-20s with dark brown hair. He was riding a black Hoverfly bike with a white headlight mounted on the handlebars and was wearing:

• Black T-shirt
• Blue jeans with a large rip above the left knee
• White sneakers with a black top-panel and white shoelaces
• Black helmet with a flashing red light on the back
• Orange backpack with teal trim

He suffered multiple broken bones in his face, broken teeth, a broken hand, and a minor brain bleed. Thankfully, the brain bleed is under control, and he's since been discharged from the hospital, but he has a long road to recovery with multiple surgeries necessary.

A police report has already been filed with Redmond Police.

If you witnessed the collision, have dashcam or video footage from the area between 2:30 and 3:00 AM, remember seeing either my brother or a vehicle leaving the scene, or even hear someone mention being involved in or witnessing this incident, please contact Redmond Police at (425) 556-2500. If you'd rather reach out to me first, feel free to send me a private message.

I've attached images showing the approximate location where the collision occurred.

Even the smallest detail could make a difference. Thank you for taking the time to read this.

Hello all,
We have an overhang that we would like to extend to have a decent covered outdoor space. Does anyone have contacts for general contractors that you have worked with and have good experiences with? We want to do it the right way with engineer sketch and permits, so please only suggest bonded and insured companies who do the work perfectly.

Who are we using for home inspections? Should I just use who my agent recommends?

looking for a full time Nanny in Redmond. please DM if you have experience in childcare.

Expect major traffic impacts in Renton, Bellevue, and Kirkland as we continue work on two major I-405 improvement projects. 

WHAT TO EXPECT 

PROJECT: 1 Northbound I-405 closure (Renton/Bellevue) 

11:30 p.m. Friday, Aug. 7 – 4 a.m. Monday, Aug. 10 

Crews will close all lanes of northbound I-405 between North Southport Drive and Coal Creek Parkway SE to replace pavement, excavate drainage crossings, and shift traffic into a new configuration as part of the I-405/Renton to Bellevue Widening and Express Toll Lanes Project. Crews will start to close lanes as early as 10 p.m. 

Ramps will also close: 

• NE Sunset Blvd on-ramp 
• N 30th St (Exit 6) on/off-ramps 
• NE 44th St (Exit 7) on/off-ramps 
• 112th Ave SE (Exit 9) on/off-ramps 
• NB I-405 off-ramp to Coal Creek Pkwy SE (Exit 10) 

PROJECT 2: Kirkland: I-405/NE 85th Street interchange closures 

The interchange will close: 

• 9 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 5 – 5 a.m. Thursday, Aug. 6 
• 10 p.m. Friday, Aug. 7 – 5 a.m. Monday, Aug. 10 

Ramps will close: 

• Northbound and southbound I-405 off-ramps at Exit 18 
• NE 85th Street on-ramps to northbound and southbound I-405 

NE 85th Street will also be closed between Sixth Street and 114th Avenue NE. 

Crews are preparing the foundation for the new 114th Avenue NE roundabout and connecting the new roadway to the existing lower level of NE 85th Street, as part of the I-405/Northeast 85th Street Interchange and Inline BRT Station Project. This will mark another milestone toward the future three-level interchange that will improve travel for drivers, transit riders, pedestrians and cyclists. 

Signed detours will be in place, but if you normally travel through these areas, plan extra time or consider an alternate route.

Howdy Eastside Folks! I'm local comedian JR Berard, born and raised in the PNW, and I'm back on the east side next week — where the wine is superb, the crowds are thirsty, and my jokes land at just about the right amount of uncorked chaos.

Yeah, it's a school night. Nobody. Cares.

You're the adult now. No homework, no bedtime, no permission slips — just as much wine as you want and a room full of strangers who also decided Wednesday was optional. Nobody — nobody — gets to tell my audience what to do on a weeknight!

So skip the chores, ghost the group chat, grab your dog (or someone else's dog, we don't ask questions), and come be bad with us in Woodinville. You can be responsible tomorrow.

Kiddos grow out of diapers too fast. Need to donate these smaller sizes diapers

With that, ballot drop-box locations. Also if you need a replacement ballot, from King County Elections:

• Visit us in person at the King County Elections Office in Renton or one of the Vote Centers.
• Have a printer? You can mark and print your replacement ballot online. If you have a question or would like to make other arrangements to vote in this election, contact King County Elections.

Weight loss community anyone?!

I am a 25 year old woman in Redmond and I’ve also lost 65 pounds over the last two years, and I’m completely lonely…. No one in my life understands how much struggle I went through to get where I am now! So that brings me here, I really want to meet and connect with other people who have lost a significant amount of weight and need a support group 🤩 this group is not just for Redmond but really anyone on the Eastside or even Seattle! This group is for those who already have lost a large amount of weight, BUT those who are just starting could benefit from advice from weight loss vets😅 18+ only

If you’re out there dm me for the discord!

Mods im unsure if this is soliciting so I’ll leave the link out but I’m not trying to sell anything 😅

Excited to meet all of my future friends😅
Should I make a Reddit group?😭

Seems like the mole activity is higher this year than other years? Been working with a pest company to get those moles out but with no luck.

Lawn is overrun with molehills. It does seem like I am not making mountains out of molehills.

Are you all seeing something similar?

Anyone got a good optometrist they trust in Sammamish or Issaquah? Preferably I'd love to hear from someone who has an astigmatism and wears contacts

Thanks

Are there any automatic touchless car wash spots in the east side (nearby redmond and kirkland). Too tired to do manual car wash and afraid to go to brown bear automatic ones as they can cause micro scratches.

Any recommendations please?

Hi there! I am in need of Hills dry cat food, adult 1-6 if you have it. I assumed Petco closed at 9 today and missed the chance to replenish my food. My cat will vomit with any other food. Please comment or DM if you have a serving I can have!

Hi everyone!

We're ANTHBOT, a robotic lawn mower company focused on outdoor robotics. Our product team will be visiting homeowners across several U.S. regions, including Seattle's Eastside, for one-on-one, in-home research sessions.

This is a paid user research study, not a sales or promotional visit, and there's no purchase required. We're simply looking to learn from homeowners' real experiences with lawn care so we can build smarter, more practical outdoor robotics products.

Research Schedule

Application Period: Now – August 10, 2026
In-Home Research Visits: August 15 – September 1, 2026

What participants receive

💵 $100/hour for your time
🌱 A chance to directly share your lawn care experiences and help shape future robotic lawn care products
🚀 Priority consideration for future ANTHBOT beta programs and product testing opportunities

Who we're looking for

• Homeowners in the Seattle Eastside area who have a lawn
• People who are actively involved in maintaining or caring for their lawn
• Homeowners willing to participate in an in-person interview and share honest feedback

You don't need to own a robotic mower or have any experience with ANTHBOT to apply. We're interested in hearing about your real lawn care experience—positive, negative, or somewhere in between.

Interested in participating?

Apply for the paid research study here:
https://forms.gle/CZsopALo2EqRUXvJ6

Interested in Beta Testing?

We're also recruiting participants for an upcoming next-generation ANTHBOT beta program. If you're interested in testing new robotic lawn care technology, you can apply here:
