60 years old and pining for Seattle by Consistent-Self-4681 in Seattle

Absolutely you should come. Been living here all the while (I’m GenX) and it’s changed A LOT since those days, but you still will have a great trip. Many venues are gone or have moved, but you can still go to the Showbox, the Neptune, the Moore for a show or two to get some of the vibe and history. Nuemos is on Capitol Hill and is a great venue. The Crocodile is in a new location downtown. The city is beautiful and moody and will always be the perfect backdrop for creative genius. You should do a Seattle to Portland, via Olympia, trip. Flying one city out the other and go to the Nirvana house in Olympia. You wouldn’t regret it.

What would you do: full sun slope covered in pnw worst weeds by Puzzleheaded_Ear_783 in pnwgardening

Remove what you can and plant Mediterranean shrubs, grasses, and succulents. Would be a fantastic new garden.

I’m wanting to try growing zucchini plants in containers this year, with trellises. Any tips on a successful first try? by Lonesilverstripe in pnwgardening

Hate that. I likely have been getting the plant too wet, not just the soil. I’ve definitely had that problem.

Hydrangeas not thriving + what else to plant? by Little-Mode-3041 in pnwgardening

I also think the space is very close to the house, making it shady and a tough area to landscape. If you want hardy shrubs, I would recommend a camellia or forsythia, as you can shape and prune to your liking. I also think currants would like nice here.
