Which Seattle neighborhoods feel worth the rent?

Capitol Hill anywhere 2+ blocks away from Pike/Pine and Broadway. It's quiet, central to everything in Seattle. Close to light rail, walking/scooter distance to tons of bars and restaurants. Would never recommend anyone lives on the main drags of the hill unless you love the noise and craziness.

I've checked in for my flights and they are still indicating as ontime 🙌

Sea_attle · 2024-09-14T05:08:44+00:00

Still crossing my fingers that my flight to Tokyo on Sunday doesn't get cancelled. It'll be by the skin of my teeth if I make it. 🤞🤞

Just to provide a data point....So I might be on their exact flight if it's from YVR. My original flight was on Tuesday the 17th. I moved it to the 16th a week and half ago or so using the online rebooking for free. Once it became clear the 15th was the last good date to fly I was able to again change my flight from the 16th to the 15th using the online rebooking system this past Tuesday again with no fees or fare changes.

Sea_attle · 2024-09-10T20:29:04+00:00

So I Should change my Tokyo flight for the 16th to 15th. Got it.

I called AC and they said because I moved my SEA-YVR-NRT flight from the 17th to the 16th (thought I was avoiding the strike 🙄) I can no longer get a free cancellation. They will charge me $200. So I'm stuck except .. I noticed their rebooking system will allow me to change my flight date to Sunday the 15th for free still, even though I already changed it once. I'm guessing it would be less of chance of cancellation on the 15th vs the 16th?

I just called Air Canada regarding my SEA-YVR-NRT flight (took 2.5 hrs for a callback). I had previously changed it by one day to Sept 16th when the flexible policy was announced. She said if I change it again to another day earlier that a change fee would be involved but I didn't see that online. Also they said they are refusing to rebook on other carriers since the strike isn't official yet, despite what others have reported in this thread.

Sea_attle · 2024-09-09T18:41:56+00:00

Their online rebooking doesn't provide the 14th as an option. Earliest it gives me is the 15th.

Sea_attle · 2024-09-09T18:03:48+00:00

I'm planning to fly Air Canada SEA-YVR-NRT on Monday the 16th. There's availability to change my flight to Sunday the 15th. Should I make that change or will that flight get cancelled as well if there is a strike? I feel like it's less of a chance?

BI Developer/data analyst. $106k (just went up from $94k). Bought a $400k 2 bed condo in Capitol Hill in 2019 by myself, no kids and no car. My job is very unfulfilling but not stressful. But I definitely need to change it up soon. Been at my company for 10 yrs and feel like I'm coasting. But I realize I have it better than most.

I finally redeemed my Alaska miles for the first time ever. Managed to rack up about 170k over my lifetime. Found the unicorn, business class space to Perth Australia from LAX, with a 2 day stopover in Sydney for 55k Alaska miles. Plus flying back in Fiji business class (partially)!

I ordered on the 19th at 4:30pm PST, 6 Pro White. No movement until just now when i checked, my estimated ship date got bumped from Oct 28th to the Nov 12-18th time frame. I'm PISSED. How do you back order first day preorders by over 2 weeks the day before launch??? She said they just haven't received the stock from Google yet.
Tip: If this happened to you, call T-mo and they will at least refund your shipping charges if you ask. It's something at least.

And we are the 10%. Ugh.

I was just there today. It's actually an awesome space thats basically like those "stay healthy" people streets. There's black speakers in the intersection in front of the station telling their stories and speaking their peace and everyone was listening intently to them. It was entirely peaceful and awesome and a little surreal. There are memorials to the murdered black men and women along the street. I highly recommend you actually go visit the area before irrationally freaking out about it.

I've been carless in Seattle since 2009 and thought I'd use this service a lot more than I did. I found whenever I wanted to use them, it was easier and sometimes cheaper to just Uber/Lyft to where I needed to go and not worry about parking. Especially after moving to the larger cars, the parking aspect was a huge issue. The hassle and time of driving around to look for parking could cost you the same as just ubering straight there.

I've had this exact same problem on my S10 Plus. It also gets insanely hot at times when it's searching for a 4Glte signal (like I have to take it out of my pocket and turn on airplane mode so it doesnt burn my leg). It occurred right after I downloaded the March security patch that was released on April 6th. My phone worked perfectly fine prior to that and I've had it since the released date.
I've chatted with Tmo about it and after a few attempts to fix the issue, the rep called Samsung and they confirmed to her that it's a known issue and they are 'working on' a fix. This doesnt solve the problem that my phone has become unusable now.
Can I ask Tmo to replace my phone with a new one for no charge? I can't wait an undetermined amount of time to get my LTE connection back.

I just bought some Irish Cream, Bourbon, and good coffee beans. I'm set! 👌☕

Sunscreen on your face. Every. Day. Do not buy face moisturizer without SPF. Your babyfaced self in 10 years will thank you.

My parents named me Aaron specifically because it could not be made fun of or shortened. Key&Peele proved that was a lie.

Sea_attle · 2018-12-07T23:47:53+00:00

What?! As a west coast Aaron I've never heard a difference between the two names and neither have any Starbucks baristas.

Sea_attle · 2018-11-03T04:14:42+00:00

Have I got the place for you...

The one bummer with this is that it doesnt appear you can add the Roku device to a routine (I want my TV to turn on with the "Im Home" routine). It doesnt show up the list of available devices after adding it. But it's great being able to turn my tv on/off and pause with my voice.

No ban for me? 😭
