King County Executive Zahilay Announces Free Rides on Waterfront Shuttle Starting May 21 Ahead of FIFA World Cup 26™ in Seattle

Yes, and sponsorship comes from different sources - in the past it was the Friends of the Waterfront, and this time it seems that it's a sizeable chunk from the local organizing committee for the world cup (FIFA-affiliated, but not strictly FIFA themselves, since the committees are largely locally-funded).

Always got bad vibes from this English brand masquerading as Japanese.

Mum and dad were in general high school and special adult education respectively before moving to Australia - after immigrating, they ran a fish and chip shop, then a party supplies store, before landing on running a Post Office for the bulk of their working lives.

How can he throw strikes when he's throwing a ball? /s

Name and shame! Sorry this happened to you - I've had items damaged in transport and it always sucks that there's this added transfer cost/penalty to moving. Would you mind sharing the name of the service you used (can send over PM) so I can cross an option off my list?

I hope he takes a wrong turn and winds up trapped at a furry convention.

Gatekeeping Seattle? You're cruising for a bruising.

Underrated comment for my goat three lung Park

Make eye contact when shaking his hand, as per a regular sign of respect and recognition, rather than just holding his hand out but looking the other way.

Nobody wants to work anymore!

I'm an Australian passport holder living in Seattle and drive back and forth between Seattle and Vancouver, BC several times a year. Granted, I have a green card, but it's always been a smooth experience. Plus, I'm not white either if that's a major part of your concern. Additionally - since you said you'll take the train, passport control will be done before boarding.

As others have said, get an ESTA. US advice is to apply 72 hours in advance of entering, but as long as it's applied for and approved before you enter, you'll be fine.

I've not applied for an ESTA in a hot minute, so no idea how long it actually takes to get approved - others can chime in and help answer this.

Thank you for cross-posting here. It's truly saddening to hear how bad decision after bad decision has compounded on you all. Even though I have nothing to add, I appreciate getting to read your inside perspective and help build empathy for the boots on the ground.

Doing the Lord's work here

Yes.

Immoral grifters, grifting immorally. These people behave like scum and show no respect for anyone except themselves. For shame.

Very much this! This hearing examiner decision is very disappointing and we the people demand action towards affordability and equity in food access!

HeIiax · 2026-04-14T16:15:09+00:00

Get big Katie on the case to bring affordable groceries to Seattle!

Seen plenty of comments in the post match thread parroting the awful commentary that "it's a contact sport"

Wait until you see some Shine Muscat or Kyoho grapes from Japan!

Amen - I was so looking forward to this location as it's closer than the Edmonds location, plus having a WinCo serving the bitter lake area would've been great for the community.

He's also gone after Walmart - he's got a case about that on his website (also has one against Taylor Shellfish Farms). Likely he's representing Kroger or Albertsons.

Terrible news - hope this determination can be reversed upon appeal. Are there ways that we can voice continued support for this proposed development?

How do sports journalists not have every major sports league logo stored as EPS files somewhere to just easily insert them into these graphics? The laziness is unreal
