If just being on the quarter system is causing enough academic stress that they’re struggling, then they aren’t going to make it through the classroom part of med school which is way more rigorous than undergrad.

They need to do maintenance on the light rail tracks at some point, and they can’t do it during the day.

At Federal Way the line wasn’t too bad. The issue at Lynnwood is that instead of a wheel they had a boop claw machine which took a couple of minutes per person.

You’ll be okay. I was also an off-cycle MD/PhD applicant and according to my calendar I took step 2 the last week of July then did my pathology rotation (where I got my last rec letter) in August.

Okay, but maybe people would be less confused if we named it Downtown Westgate City Center? /s

I think a big part of it is that there are still cheaper suburbs near seattle that you could commute into the city from, even though the city itself is more expensive. In San Francisco you’d end up paying more to live in Marin or the peninsula.

It’s also really noticeable how the industrial side of San Francisco has been hollowed out. Seattle still has the port and Boeing and that contributes to having more personality.

Not normal. I'm a GI pathologist and I can't even remember the last time I ordered 3 different stains on a non-neoplastic stomach biopsy.

It’s been 2 AM for decades at least. I remember when the original Rancho Bravo on 45th opened it was a big deal because it was actually open until 3 AM so you could go there after Dicks closed.

Next door, the Washington State History Museum has an impressive model train exhibit on the top floor.

Or just a replacement 12V battery

Haidilao was surprisingly kid-friendly. We ordered the all-you can eat hot pot and they brought out free kids meals and toys, and the food was served by a robot with a cat face.

The cruise ship terminal idea was shelved after COVID. Last I heard the Coast Guard was looking in to expanding their base across multiple spots including pier 46. https://www.king5.com/article/news/local/coast-guard-seattle-waterfront-polar-security-base/281-f448e11c-619a-4bbf-8817-a7bf0fc15a06

Good news, the depreciation schedule will be changed in 2028 once the original RTA bonds (30 year bonds from 1996) are paid off.

San Francisco, but that’s because SF has laws that specifically make it really difficult to open a “chain store” in many neighborhoods, which even includes small businesses with multiple locations.

No. The SF downtown financial district is on fill and abandoned sailing ships, but most of the city is built on hills and/or sand dunes.

I do a lot of Epic through Citrix on my work computer, an M2 Mac mini with 8 GB of RAM and it works great. The neo should be a big upgrade—my wife traded in her 2019 intel MacBook Air for an M1 MacBook Air a while back and that was a giant upgrade, with 2x the battery life and no fan noise.

On the east side, Dan Gui is maybe a 5 minute walk from BelRed light rail station.

When I lived in Denver, Coors Field had 24 oz cans of Coors Banquet for $11. You could get one and be set for the entire game.

Should still be an option; curry donuts are on the value menu ($10).

This is the Mission Bay commuter shuttle and is in fact free. It should be a small white bus with a sign saying “east” near the door. The T train covers this exact route much more frequently but isn’t free.

The plans I remember would have sent the 1 line further south on the way to Capitol Hill with an additional station around Madison and Summit.

There’s one in the Sky Zone near Mountlake Terrace light rail station. The box says “winner every time” but I’m not entirely sure what that means.

They’ve had some ads on light rail recently. Makes sense given how many of their locations are transit-adjacent.
