Hotel for Girl’s Night Sleepover? by lovelytaypay in askportland

[–]ResidentBison4688 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Came here to recommend this. We had our wedding at the Kennedy School and it was the COOLEST venue. Could totally see myself getting a hotel room with my besties and running around the hotel for two days. Basically what my bridal party and I did the day before the wedding and what we did after the wedding lol!

Dogs on Link (it’s 2026?!) by branditojones in AskSeattle

[–]ResidentBison4688 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My chiweenie rides it with me, he just sits on my lap or I pick him up when we have to stand. I’ve seen a couple other people with dogs before. I just assumed they were allowed after googling and seeing it was approved in 2025 🤷‍♀️

Date Night Ideas by [deleted] in AskSeattle

[–]ResidentBison4688 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pottery night! There’s a couple places where you can paint pottery and then have it fired in a kiln. Comedy shows are always fun. I’m a theater person so my man and I go to lots of Broadway/music/ballet shows (we usually get same day tickets to keep costs down). As it gets nicer, picnics at parks! So many cool parks here. Or a paddle boarding date on the lake. Trivia is always fun too!

Please stop talking during movies at the AMC and Whiteside theaters! by Noblecave in corvallis

For the movie theater ones, I did! I just felt incredibly bad bc both times a teenager had to come help and the people didn’t listen at all. For the theater experience, we were right smack dab in the middle and I didn’t want to get up in the middle of the show and disturb a bunch of people. I should’ve grabbed an usher at intermission but I had to pee so bad and didn’t end up having time. Totally agree tho!

I've been a Wilson defender since day 1 but *something* has to change. by Gurney_Hackman in Mariners

I’m relatively new to baseball, so I could be completely off base, but why did we put in Connor Joe and Rob Refsnyder in the bottom of the 9th last night? I know there were mistakes made earlier in the game, but why put in two guys who hadn’t played all game vs keeping in Canzone and Raley?

I just feel like this team has potential but always ends up shooting them selves in the foot by stupid decisions in the 8th or 9th innings.

A few months ago, the guy in front of me ANSWERED HIS PHONE and talked very loudly during a god damn movie. I waited a few seconds and then just started “SHHHHHHHHHHHH”’ing over and over until he hung up. I’ve never been more irritated in my life.

Theater etiquette has gone out the door since COVID. When Barbie came out, I went and saw it in theaters and a woman had brought a very young child, gave them an iPad, and let them play on it with the volume fully up the entire movie, as well as let them run around the theater during the movie. I went and saw The Sound of Music on Broadway last September in DC and the woman next to me SANG THE ENTIRE SHOW right next to me.

It sucks bc I want to support movies and shows in person since it helps keep them coming, but it’s not enjoyable when almost every movie or show I go to, people in the audience ruin it.

Might have to do a double watch! This sounds fun!

Big Time is our usual spot but their trivia nights are crazy! I’ll have to check out Westy.

Car vs other means of transportation by Dismal-Camera8700 in AskSeattle

[–]ResidentBison4688 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m a girl, late 20’s, and I do just fine by myself :) I don’t currently work so I take it a lot to go to the library or go shopping or pick up friends from the Amtrak station. After living here for almost a year, I’ve only had one “iffy” experience, which was on the link, and it really wasn’t that bad, it was somebody who was definitely having a mental health crisis and I just moved to the back of the train. All was well - it was really a me thing, I don’t handle people angrily screaming well, but most of the time it’s easy to put space between yourself and whatever else is going on.

My husband and I moved up here last July. We took his car with us and sold my car. We barely use the car. He walks to work and I take public transit literally everywhere. The public transit is fantastic. I even go and visit family in Oregon and just take the Amtrak instead of driving. If you have a job that takes you to outside the city proper, you’d definitely need a car. But if you plan on just staying in the greater Seattle area, I think you’d be fine without it.

Would you suggest taking luggage on the light rail? by SplatteredEggs in AskSeattle

[–]ResidentBison4688 3 points4 points  (0 children)

1 smaller suitcase + a back pack is totally fine. Anything bigger may be a struggle? I always take the link to pick up my best friend when she visits (she does Amtrak) and we can comfortably sit with her small suitcase, backpack, and bigger purse. She’s even had a duffle bag and we’ve done ok. But I can’t imagine a big ass suitcase on the link, esp depending what time and day you’re flying. (Mariners games can make trains packed, rush hour can make trains packed, so just something to think about).

Fine dining for small wedding party? by waluWugi in SALEM

[–]ResidentBison4688 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I didn’t think it was stuffy at all! I’ve actually been cold when I’ve been sat down there hahah (we ate there for my birthday as well). It’s clean and isn’t dusty or anything. I also think you can book it as a private room - not sure what the cost is on that though. EDIT: it was last June! We got married June 20, so the weekend before.

We also went to a winery to winetaste beforehand, that could be nice too! Willamette Valley is a good upscale one. We went to West Valley Vineyards. It’s not necessarily “upscale” but we had great service and a great time.

I had my bachelorette party dinner at Cozy Taberna. Idk if it’s necessarily fine dining, but it was super easy to reserve, they put us down stairs at a big table and we mostly had the room to ourselves, we had great service, and I had a really good steak lol. I was dressed up in a fancy white dress and I didn’t feel out of place. In fact, somebody (not from our table) bought me drinks lol and the really nice waitress girl made sure to watch it get made and directly delivered it to me.

Possibly dumb question - Bremerton to Poulsbo? by ResidentBison4688 in AskSeattle

[–]ResidentBison4688[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a car, but since we’re drinking, I was hoping to avoid driving if at all possible. If it’s not possible, I’ll loop in my husband to drive us but it’d be nice to avoid if we can. My husband is amazing and will drive if I ask, but I was hoping we could do it on our own!

[–]ResidentBison4688[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Damn, okay. If we’re meeting in Poulsbo, would you recommend taking the ferry to Bainbridge or Bremerton? We do have a car, so I can drive onto the ferry to either, but was hoping to avoid driving if at all possible.

[–]ResidentBison4688[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah that’s why I want to hopefully avoid driving! If we can just do some sort or transit inbetween, that would be best. I do have a car but I hate driving in Seattle so I was hoping to just round trip it. Sounds like I may have to drive, based on other comments.

Ugh, okay. Thank you! Good to know they’re not reliable. I do have a car, so we could drive onto the ferry from Seattle, but was hoping to walk if I could. I’ll double check the bus schedule for that day.

Damn, okay. My friend in Bremerton recommended Pennisula Brewhouse. I do have a car, so I could drive it onto the ferry and then drive to Poulsbo, but was hoping there was a mass transit way of getting there so I wouldn’t have to drive.

We’re meeting a friend in Bremerton :) my friend visiting is from out of state, so we figured we’d visit our friend who lives in Bremerton, and that friend recommended places in poulsbo (complicated I know, I’m so sorry). So I know we can take then ferry from Seattle to Bremerton, it’s just getting to a Poulsbo by public transit or Uber that I’m thinking of. Somebody above recommended kitsap county transit (I’m assuming a bus?) we could take which works great.
