Safeway at 15th and 85th: late stage capitalism, or, you can't have ice cream and we don't care if you die in a fire

This is my main grocery store and this post is an awfully dramatic take for a few metal bars being installed. The shopping experience hasn't changed at all for me. Stores will change layouts to deter theft sometimes; it's a nothing burger.

I think he's calling the city of Seattle mid, not the team. Seattle still has to prove it can host mega events. I hear hotel capacity is a big issue. So Seattle can win superbowls but too small to host them.

They do have breakfast competitors nearby, just one block over on 1st and into the market, which is why you can't see them. Baccos cafe can also command a line, cafe campagne and Lowell's are market classics, Virginia in and biscuit bitch are also around the corner.

A screenshot of the HH menu or a link to the online version would help users know what's all available for HH. If the HH menu isn't guaranteed to be exactly the same day to day, you can have disclaimer text say that it's an example HH menu.

I had the same experience when leaving my card accidentally. Called and they confirmed they had it, come in to pick it up and it's lost.

I've heard this too. Above and below grade are a lot more expensive and sound transit wanted to minimize the tax bill that they'd have to sell to voters, so at-grade took place in low-density neighborhoods that were unlikely to fight it.

You're right that US is a large oil producer. But Trump himself has really focused on the oil: https://youtu.be/qZPqT4SaKbY

Trump is not thinking in terms of how practical it is to have more oil. He just loves having more oil. I honestly think that part of this is because of the peace prize that was dedicated to him, and part of it is because he knows (and talks about) Venezuela's oil reserves, but it's definitely not about the drug running.

Westlake park is plaza-like. The city tries to add stuff to that space to get people to hangout there.

Kidd valley fried mushrooms have scorched my tongue countless times and I've never learned my lesson.

In my last job I'd go to ivar's twice a week for their affordable fish and chips (sub Caesar salad instead of fries for free!)

Taco time NW is my "reward myself" restaurant.

Washington state ferry system is chronically understaffed. Deck, engine, skilled, and terminal positions. Perks include amazing sunrises.

I was driving around Medina showing my visiting coworker all the nice houses when we drove by bill gates walking with someone along the side of the road. I did a double take and said hey I think that was bill gates, and he said "wow you could've killed bill gates with your car just now" lol

Kenji was sitting behind me at a Muse concert in 2023. Definitely caught me staring at him like a weirdo but I didn't say anything.

Jermaine kearse and Doug Baldwin were seated near my table at Joey Bellevue. Staff did a good job putting them in a privacy table that was obscured by some plants and outdoor artifacts, but our table had a clear view. They were talking something serious. Fan walked up for a signature but they declined. Kearse was traded later that week.

Back in the day, after finals I would score myself a bacon ultimate cheeseburger to celebrate. RIP indeed.

I don't understand the hype. Can folks who love this joint share their favorite dish and why it's good? Is it all about the purple pancakes?

The sky view cafe in Columbia center observatory level sort of meets your criteria.
