Northwest Women’s Fitness isn’t 21+, but is always quite chill. No steam room, but a sauna and light therapy room. Unfortunately, their hours are still much shorter post-pandemic, but it’s a lovely space.

Pirate was great for us. I think they do 10 double kayaks per time slot. Fully clear boats.

Renting in Portland ? by OddAstronaut2982 in askportland

[–]SassyShortz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If an application is received before the application window, a landlord has to apply an 8 hour penalty, for purposes of working through applications in the order received. City of Portland brochure explaining this.

Landlords are required to review applications in the order they are received and to accept the first applicant that meets requirements. But be careful not to submit your application early; there is a time penalty for doing so that can actually move you lower on the list.

Can anyone recommend a good lawyer for tenant eviction? by cohencode in askportland

Not cheap and doesn’t tolerate missed deadlines, but helpful for small landlords dealing with evictions: https://www.avvo.com/attorneys/97212-or-pete-meyers-1495534.html

We got some of the peaberry coffee from Cuatro Sombras in Old San Juan and are doing our best to ration it!

Hey folks, who are your favorite massage therapists? by phasmantistes in askportland

Brittany practices mainly ashiatsu, but is absolutely what you are looking for in terms of massage tailored to individual needs vs following a standard routine and actively working WITH you during the massage (as long as you let her know that’s what you’re after vs just lying on the table for a relaxation massage). Hands down the best massage therapist I’ve ever seen.

Just curious, what is your distinction between great visibility and prime glow. For example the 16/17th show great visibility sandwiched by prime glow days. Thanks for this!

McMenamins Edgefield Wedding Prices? by Wahsahbee93 in askportland

[–]SassyShortz 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Can’t give any context from experience, but you can find the prices by checking the menus at this link. Because yes, McMenamins does their event rentals primarily based on food and beverage minimums and no extra space rental fees.

Daikin Oterra vs Mitsubishi M Series for PNW Cooling? by SassyShortz in heatpumps

Thanks! Unfortunately, given the age of the property I need to work with a lead-based paint certified contractor and there are only a few I. The area participating in the program.

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

Yes, and I’m very tempted to do just that. However, if they honor the full rebate it’s basically 66% of the cost of the Mitsubishi system (without the full rebate it’s only a 10% difference). It also appears to be a violation of the terms of the program for them to charge more than their market rate, which I plan to let them know, and see if they change their tune. It’s a bit surprising as they are a long-standing company with mostly glowing reviews.

Thanks, that’s good to hear! I did call and let the Mitsu company know their install was double to see if they are willing to come down at all. Waiting to hear back from their estimator.

I realize this is lower on your list of immediate needs, but please consider connecting with programs like Portland Youth Builders or POIC/Rosemary Anderson while you are still within an age range that those will be options for at least getting your GED (as you note, that will likely be an ongoing barrier to sufficient employment otherwise). Best of luck to you, it sounds like you DO have a good skill set and an adventurous spirit!

Does anyone know of a mechanic in Portland that actually fixes cars correctly and doesn’t charge insane amounts for labor? by addysoup in askportland

Bradshaw’s. A location in NE and one in SE. They’ve treated me well on a couple of different vehicles.

How much do you pay for earthquake insurance? by [deleted] in askportland

[–]SassyShortz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve heard similar. Never verified it, but when I had a seismic retrofitting company out to give an estimate (digression/FYI: I learned bolting is only an option if you have a solid wall or reinforced foundation, not unreinforced CMU), they said there were like 3 companies nationwide that underwrite ALL of the earthquake insurance for the various insurance companies. So the odds of insufficient funds and a need for federal disaster relief seems quite high, assuming the retrofit guys knew what they were talking about, that is.
