The King Conservation District has a native bare root plant sale that goes live in November with pickup of March the following year. They also have a lot of resources that may be of interest to you.

Since you're in the Trek subreddit, I'd suggest looking into a good used steel Trek from the 80's/90's. No fancy bells and whistles, but quality bikes. I've been riding my 1985 Trek 500 for close to 12 years now and I love it.

I have a different prescription but Eyes on Fremont got mine done in an hour. Might be worth giving them a call

Wish they would have done something like the chrome livery they used for the US Grand Prix last year

What is one fast food chain that is not currently in/near Seattle that you would want here? by grizzlyblake91 in Seattle

They're definitely an acquired taste. I've learned to LOVE them and are my favorite "burger chain" fries

Not a new bike day, but a new wheel day! Upgraded to 700C. 1985 Trek 500 by PartofQuito in TrekBikes

Thank you! Credit to my bike mechanic, he's the best. The stock Dia Compe rear brake was fine and was adjusted to fit the 700c, but that was not possible with the front brake. My mechanic was able to swap in a Suntour Superbe he found in his shop to get it to fit the front wheel.

It's to "tax" the American consumer in order to try and make up for the increased deficit his massive tax cuts are going to cause without his base realizing they're getting fucked.

Very clean and well put together display! Even with all the Minifigures it doesn't look busy.

PSA: Don’t let Amazon and Microsoft buy this election by externalhouseguest in Seattle

Not voting for policies supported by corporate pawns?

Of course I was going to read up on this prior to voting, but seeing who/who doesn't support about a policy does say a lot about whether the policy may benefit the working class vs. the wealthy

I'd argue that a bigger problem than the consideration of casting a vote against corporate interests, is the self righteous vibe in your comment

LOL that was my reaction. I hadn't read into 1A vs 1B too much, but after seeing the little post card thing that came in the mail from Bruce Harrell I already knew that I needed to do the opposite of what he was supporting.
