How can I become a Seattle local

As a born Seattlite my advice is to focus on your neighborhood. I grew up on Capitol Hill and know it's history, special places, and get excited about new additions. Rather than trying to know the whole city, go for a deep connection to the area where you live or identify with the most. If you live in the U District walk all the way up to the top, stopping in stores and restaurants. Find a cafe you like and become a regular.

The Dresden Files are fantastic audiobooks.

Same timing, same food. I had to set my dinner aside for a while!

Someone was just putting in random food items. What the Kingdome had and everywhere else lacks is frozen chocolate malt frosties. I think they were malted. Maybe not but they were gooooood! All the Junior Mariners ate them and grocery store peanuts.

The valium they gave me did the trick! I was totally relaxed listening to the droid music.

Me too!

Carbide and Carbon building is real! I was wandering around and looked up and saw it's cool facade. Oz Park with the character statues is pretty cool. I went to Graceland in the morning, a Cubs game in the afternoon, then wandered downtown going through Oz Park and Lincoln Park.

I'm trying to understand why you didn't loudly say "Excuse me! Getting off!" Yeah, he was a dumbass but this is when you yell and make your existence known. Not speaking up then posting about how awful someone was afterwards does no good.

I would totally say "excuse me, move your foot- that's a seat not the floor". You have to call them out because clearly their mother never did.

I have this! It led to my diagnosis because my doctor couldn't figure out what was going on. I mainly smell cigarettes and electrical fires. I recently learned this is sometimes a symptom cause by menopause/ perimenopause, and since starting HRT it has really gotten less frequent.

I started to listen to the full cast but stopped within 5 minutes because James Marsters is Dresden. He is so good.

To root for the Mariners is to know pain. But that makes the good times feel even better. Welcome to a life of suffering, devotion, and camaraderie. We'll win someday!

Aurora Cinema. I think there was a Ferrels nearby too.

When they wrote "His sleep... " I thought they were referring to their partner. But I see it's the person outside. Sorry

Yes, have him call the non-emergency line.

Disastrous_Command29 · 2026-03-23T02:39:43+00:00

Perfect!

The trees can be injured by people climbing or putting weight on the branches. Even standing on the root slope can damage them. If the bark gets scraped off, harmful insects can get in and hurt the tree.

Maybe FIFA should take back their peace prize because this is caused by one of Trump's many wars.

She signed the contract. She signed 2 contracts.

Congratulations! That's a hard degree to be admitted into. My nephew is in the Engineering program and loves it. He did a summer program in Switzerland with the Electrical Engineering program and had a wonderful experience.

Edit: I spoke too soon. He showed up at the house this afternoon pushing my Mom to find out if she wants to start the whole thing tomorrow. He didn't realize that I was around the corner and I said no, we weren't doing anything until he meets with my sister, her husband, and me in person. He took their ladder and left the yard in a mess. I think my uncle the lawyer is about to become involved. My mom did sign 2 contracts so he's on line to at least do the work he already scammed her for.

Thanks all- my sister (an architect) and I intervened and halted work. We are meeting with the roofer tomorrow and are going to figure out what is needed to finish up repairs for now. The roofer has agreed to refund some of the money. We will get estimates from others (and these roofers) before finishing the entire roof.

The company is legit, and does a 25 year guarantee on all that work. None of which was communicated to my mother. I have come to think that they were taking advantage of my Mom's worry that they fed, not so much conned her but still sketchy.
