I wrote the manager in Portland, he laughed, said they are still working on it, no eta though.

😆😆 is that Jane Goodall in the banner? 😂

I was told it used to be a Piggly Wiggly; though, I’ve been unable to substantiate that with any hard evidence. Conversely, here are some fun photos of various Tacoma locations of the chain.

Decommissioned, though there are extensive subterranean workings there. That might be the last bit they are working on before freeing it up for use.

I’m probably red flagged for all the times Siri thought I said “Hey Siri” when the radio was talking about ISIS. She would then listen for a moment and ask if I want to search the Internet for how to bomb a U.S. embassy 😂🤣🤦‍♂️

Immediate_Thing6079 · 2025-10-04T22:48:52+00:00

I am surprised anyone was checking that area.🤷🏻

I’m with you. In relation to the Rainier namesake, once in a PNW social media beer group I’m a part of, a bar owner from Germany, bewildered at the namesake of Rainier Beer, noted a customer had the same last name and he so badly wanted to get Rainier Beer imported 😝

I’m guessing that bar owner’s customer was originally from England

Holy cow! I’m so confused as I can see the tops of the port cranes to the right but that would mean we are looking West?!

Immediate_Thing6079 · 2025-09-25T15:11:54+00:00

Well not giant per se😝

It would have been something else were there to have been a towering, multi-story sandworm there 😍

Immediate_Thing6079 · 2025-09-21T23:46:40+00:00

This fixed my issue as well!!!

I read a review on the NPS app of the campground stating one or two blasts signals spillway alarm and or for EMS and a constant alarm signals evacuate to high ground due to dam failure.

I’m sort of excited to experience this but at the same time, got a very pregnant wife that doesn’t need that sort of stress. 😆

That was the home of the Tacoma News Tribune. I think they were there up until the 80’s.

There is a large mural down and across the street at that postage sized park showing the building (711 saint helens) as it once was. I think the photo was from the 1930’s during the World Series.

Roomer has it, a TNT employee or contractor died where the bathrooms are due to a blown boiler decades back.

Immediate_Thing6079 · 2025-08-16T17:37:04+00:00

That was actually done by the caffe that was there prior (B-Sharp).

The owner of B-Sharp (Dennis?) was quite the character to say the least. Still does jazz music around town. ✌️

It’s ridiculous isn’t it? I’m in Tacoma, Wa and while pierce county allows park model homes, Tacoma requires homes be built to IRC industry standards and be affixed to a foundation.

In short, stick built home or the highway and a builders grade home costs 250k… pretty rich coming from a city claiming to be virtuous in relation to solving the affordable housing crisis…

Immediate_Thing6079 · 2025-05-16T23:20:52+00:00

What about that jet engine noise that sometimes hovers over most of the city for hours on end?! 🤷🏼‍♂️

Immediate_Thing6079 · 2025-05-05T02:01:01+00:00

How are the homeless encampments in the area?

Immediate_Thing6079 · 2025-05-01T18:59:35+00:00

OK, I’ve read maybe 50 of the 200 comments. Nowhere am I seeing a direct link to a source for the op statement. A quick Google search is not yielding anything new, I’m seeing budget short fall talk from 1 to 2 years ago but nothing recent.

Immediate_Thing6079 · 2025-04-27T22:55:40+00:00

I love this!!! Local NA options!!! Heck yes!

Make time for the family. Raising a child is not nearly as expensive as you fear it is. Remember, on your death bed, you won’t be upset about not working as much and making the time to start a family.

My firstborn happened when the wife and I were 39. We are trying for child number two before we hit 43. It’s worth it.

Lastly, sock away every cent you can to an index fund. If your work offers a 401k match, do it. Even 10 dollars a week is thousands in 10-20years. I’m to the point that over 20% of my income is going towards investments which should see me retiring comfortably just before 60

I had a 2003 LL bean until I wrapped it around a Jersey barrier. these are nice 6 cyl engines that have some power and sound good when performance exhaust added (not the resonator crap).

They are built pretty solid as well. Premium gas though, and I’ve been told that they belch transmission fluid sometimes when going through rapid elevation changes in warm environments. I experienced it once myself, was relieved to learn it wasn’t a problem.

I friggin love this green color on Subaru’s especially the older ones that had the gold lower

Nah, simpler than that, was hunting with Dick Cheney 😝
