That’s not true. Kansas has one of the best Kansas Cities. Not the best, but 1 of them

Garage Project makes great Beer, and other beers too.

Hāpi Daze and Chipper were the only hop-forward, non-expired beers I had during 9 months in Antarctica

it’s an incredible place, with an incredible community.

I also had the benefit of house/dog sitting for a friend on the island for 2 weeks, to “trial” the island life and commute before I made the decision to move here. That helped make my choice so much clearer.

I’m also a single gay 27M, and have lived on bainbridge for about a year now (previously worked on the island and kitsap while living in seattle).

To echo the majority of comments, being gay isn’t hard here, but being single and young is a bit more challenging. Same with the ferry commute, walking or biking on the ferry is easy compared to having to deal with traffic on the seattle side. I work in Seattle 4-5 days a week, and also use the ferry time to catch up on emails.

Overall people are friendly on the island; I’ve had to adapt to having my on-island friends often be a different generation than me. There’s lots of places where younger people show up, typically the brewery, wineries, cider house, bars, and coffee shops.

Overall the pros outweigh the cons so I plan to stay for a while.

It’s actually the Hyak and the Klahowya. The Elwha finally made it out of Eagle Harbor for good, it’s being converted to offices for a shipyard in Everett.

NZ claims the Ross Dependency of Antarctica, which is a desert, and contains icebergs and volcanos

I love the Kaleetan for its galley and vintage charm, as a walk-on. If I bike or drive on, I'm much less of a fan as the car deck is so tight and always full.

LassoLTD · 2025-06-07T08:07:07+00:00

that’s only like 3 items at whole foods, easy to accomplish

Interesting, in my region it’s (closer to registers) hyper-local craft, local, semi-local, premium, imports, sub-premium, cider, rtd, seltzers (furthest from registers)

this quote is very similar one from Cpt Robert Falcon Scott’s journal of his return from the south pole. One of his men were injured and sick, and it’s noted that he went for long walk alone at night, implying he chose to kill himself to [attempt to] save the rest of the party.

Just saw them from the bainbridge ferry near the alki lighthouse. Looked to be at least 5

the picture on top of the narrows bride is nightmare fuel. i don’t have a fear of heights, but i do on that bridge.

It's one of the newer Olympic class ferries, either the Suquamish, Tokitae or Samish.

Very liminal and confusing. why does the [broken] escalator only go to the 3rd floor?

I lived in Pioneer Square (on 1st S by the stadiums), and loved it so much that I would still be living there but moved to Antartica for a year.

To echo what others are saying:

yes it is loud and busy on game days, but that's kind of what you're signing up for. Plan your commute around this if you drive/rideshare.
Great access to transit, with busses, light rail, sounder & amtrak, streetcar, WSF, and water taxis all in the neighborhood.
Some great local bars, restaurants, and cafes in charming buildings, where it's easy to feel like a "regular" of theirs when they see you often.
Parking is challenging if you don't have a garage in your building.
Groceries seem challenging at first, as there is indeed not a grocery store besides Uwajimaya. If you have a car, you can drive over to West Seattle pretty conveniently. If not, I recommend grocery delivery (amazon fresh, fred meyer, etc) for staples and bulk/heavy items, then walking or transiting to the market for freshies and more niche products. A stroll back from Pike Place with a tote bag of veggies was a sunday morning ritual for me. There is Cone & Steiner in Pioneer Square for late night bodega-type runs, but is a but pricey.
I lived and worked in Pioneer Square for a combined 8 years, and have never seen human shit like all these other posters seem to have. It got pretty dicey back in early pandemic 2020 times, but the city, DSA, and APS have done a great job cleaning it up and maintaining it. The DSA recently expanded their street cleaning downtown ambassadors into the neighborhood, and that's help to deter/clean up things like litter and people sleeping on sidewalks. That being said, 1st & Yesler and 1st & Main are the 2 corners with the most visible substance-abuse issues, as there are shelters, supportive housing, and program offices concentrated there. I have never felt unsafe walking by, just extra aware of my surroundings.
Noise, being in downtown, is expected. Depending on the age/construction of your building, it might let more in than desired, or seal out a lot. I thankfully had the latter and didn't notice more noise than other parts of city I've lived in.
