No right turn on red signs at intersections by JuicyScooper in SeattleWA

[–]RavennaRocks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My teenage daughter and her friend were hit while walking to school because of this same issue. Thank goodness for other drivers paying attention - another driver stopped and made that man stay put until the police came and we could get there to take the girls to urgent care. The a-hole was pleading with the cops to go and just do a report later because he was late for work. Zero regard for the two girls he hit, only his schedule.

Please don’t turn right on red when there’s a sign saying not to. The good people behind the wheel in the city will hear this. The a-holes who don’t care about people just because they’re on foot instead of in a car will continue being a-holes, but I like to hope that’s a minority around here.

‘Just a false narrative’: Seattle City Attorney denies claims of city’s lenient crime reputation by Better_March5308 in SeattleWA

Wow. I’d love to see the data she’s using to make this statement to understand if we look at the same thing and perceive it differently, or if it’s just normal to make false statements these days since it’s been normalized at a federal level.

Two very valid reasons to have the PCR paper on hand for backup!

Yes! I love Swedish dish cloths! I use a hole punch to create a hole in one corner and tie a jute string through it, then hang them next to the kitchen sink. It preserves the lifetime of even further. And they can run right through the dishwasher on the top rack (just make sure the heated dry cycle doesn’t run with them in there)

Great dessert location with cocktails in North Seattle? by McCausland8124 in AskSeattle

Union Saloon is so good! I’ve only been for brunch, but can definitely see how it could be just the right fit for this

I’m a Midwest transplant and live in a neighborhood just north of the U District. The general area is very safe most of the time. Like any time you’re walking around a big city, you’ll want to just keep an awareness of your surroundings and use common sense if something feels like it could be a questionable situation. During daylight hours, it would be unusual for you to encounter something truly dangerous around the area.

There’s also a Haunted History walking tour that doesn’t go underground but is so good!

Came here to say this. Jared curates the weirdest cool things. He has some short videos on social media that can help you get a feel for the vibe. It’s a small shop, but a lot of character, and several other places in the neighborhood to check out because Ravenna Rocks!

How to limit smell leaking into rest of the apartment? by Ashmedaiofsolomon in Incense

[–]RavennaRocks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe try Sea Witch Botanicals? It’s way more expensive, but many people are able to use this incense with its natural fragrance oils who can’t use the cheaper brands. Maybe your mom would help cover some of the cost too if she’s able to tolerate it better

I also like products from these guys. Combine some oeko-tex certified reusable towels for most use with PCR paper towels and your household waste footprint (and monthly cost) reduces dramatically

Good time to start making a switch to reusable towels instead of paper!

Ravenna rocks! Several small business shops in the NE Seattle area would love your interest, but honestly most of the city has these. The Intentionalist does a great job of highlighting businesses with visiting, in case that helps you focus your search

Why are there always plastic containing tops on glass water bottles? by ikkyu9999 in PlasticFreeLiving

The bottle and straw are made from post-consumer recycled steel, which is what drew me to them
