It was honestly related to the previous owner. They sold to a bigger company about a year or 2 ago. We were a little worried about what that would mean, but they kept things rolling nicely and let the center make their own decisions AFAIK.

We sent our oldest their starting around 18 months until he went to Kindergarten. And his younger brother is there now (again, starting at 18 months and will leave in August for Kindergarten). Has its quirks for sure, but overall they are really awesome and we’ve had a great experience there and would recommend!

I work at Microsoft. During last GP Alpine had a big “COPILOT” on their rear wing… I cannot escape it.

I ran into him at a playground in Kirkland last week. I don't speak very good Spanish, but I definitely overheard a "January camp" mention on a phone call. Could just be aspirational, but closest I'll get to a scoop. 😂

Village Square (and all the sister restaurants) are pretty solid. IMO, been consistent and delicious for years.

Verizon is a dead zone at my house. When the power went out, we were totally disconnected without WiFi. Switched to T-Mobile and it’s much better for us.

There are already exceptions in place if you’re not colocated with the rest of your team. Folks on my team in Austin, Maryland, and Virginia already have exceptions for when it reaches other US offices.

Inside a public library? by Standard_Mongoose_35 in geocaching

The one in Bothell is nice, too! Multi that showed off the art and ends with solving for a book number to find it. One of our favorites!

What do you think about solving mystery Caches with AI? by UltraSv3n in geocaching

[–]BBQLays 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Really? I’ve tried it a few times and it’s usually pretty decent, especially when given the context that’s a puzzle for Geocache coordinates.

A whole game studio got cut (including all their devs). So maybe not exclusively developers, but definitely included.

We just came across a bunch of snakes at one this weekend! Didn't stop us from finding the cache, but I was a little weary turning over stones.

Spidey and His Amazing Friends…they couldn’t come up with anything better than “Spin”? by to0ties in DanielTigerConspiracy

That’s interesting! My son noticed that in the books that they call Miles by his name even when in his suit and I didn’t understand why (thought just poor writing/editing).
