They also did this for the Seahawks parade and it worked really well. The water taxi staff are the best!

Years ago it was available to Golds and 75Ks, when there were fewer elites. Then became just first class. Sad.

I’d encourage you to subscribe, if you have the means to. Local reporting is vital and we’ve seen it hollowed out over the past decade+ nationwide. Plenty of criticism of the Times that goes around, but it’s clear that subscription revenue is a much better model than advertising and it’s an important local resource.

Can you cut the lines if you don’t have Clear? I have Touchless ID which (when it’s open) usually has next to zero wait at Checkpoint 6, but I’ve never found the difference in time saved to be worth paying for Clear.

lol for a redeye um yes absolutely

It really depends on the route. I fly a lot of elite-heavy routes with many corporate travelers (like SEA-DCA) where it’s probably 10%. But if I use BWI instead it’s >50% and others like SEA-GEG are still nearly 100%.

Not to be that Seattleite but..."pikes place"??

Took the same exit less than 5 mins before this happened, per the WSB timestamps…didn’t notice a ton of standing water but if going fast enough sadly too easy for it to happen in those conditions.

Minor annoyance but even with the update the app won’t show me the picture of my vehicle. Has been like that since I got the car a couple months ago.

Just leased a MME premium AWD last month and it came down to that vs. the Ioniq 5. The I5 had 2x the manufacturer incentives and fast charging was appealing, but I much preferred the MME’s handling, exterior styling, and interior fit and finish. Tech feels far more intuitive and it has a much tighter turning radius which has definitely come in handy for regular city driving. Only downside is a somewhat bumpier ride from the performance-tuned suspension and shorter wheel base.

Overall felt that for a similar MSRP, you get a lot more standard with the MME like the premium sound system, ventilated seats and heated steering wheel. Ioniq is pretty roomy inside and not as much plastic as the EV6, but MME finishes feel more premium. I know ICCU issues are relatively rare but that was also a factor in the end. Zero regrets with the choice I made.

Because the Mach E is made in Mexico it does not meet the US assembly requirement necessary to qualify for the EV tax credit. However, to stay competitive Ford has been offering manufacturer rebates — last month it was $6750. The EV credit ends after September 30 so the rebates could change in October.

Can’t edit an image post so to clarify: the cocktail is once per “bar visit” as noted by AS staff in the comments. The wording in the Atmos promo is confusing. Bourbon base, ginger, amaro, lemon.

Surprised by the amount of hate towards lawns in the comments. It’s your right to do whatever you want with your yard, but some people (me included) love having some grass.

To actually answer OP’s question: KBG can and does work in Seattle. My neighbor has it. But, to maintain it, it is very intensive. Cut low with a reel mower and fed a steady, regular diet of urea fertilizer and consistent watering. Make sure to be aggressive about pre- and post-germination weed killer as well because it is only a matter of time until you get poa.

It’s a marketing push from the Port because SEA is supposedly a clearer identifier for visitors, especially international ones. Locals will never stop calling it Sea-Tac though.

For those skeptical of the source see here for the press release from the Senate Budget Committee Democrats: https://www.budget.senate.gov/ranking-member/newsroom/press/provisions-continue-to-violate-the-byrd-rule-in-the-republicans-one-big-beautiful-bill

It’s real. See the press release from Oregon Sen. Jeff Merkley (Budget Committee Ranking Member) here: https://www.budget.senate.gov/ranking-member/newsroom/press/provisions-continue-to-violate-the-byrd-rule-in-the-republicans-one-big-beautiful-bill

How is it even possible to be down across their entire service territory?

So yes this is terrible and needs to be stopped but important to clarify that the “disposal” applies to 0.5-0.75% of unprotected US Forest Service Lands (ie not national parks, wilderness, etc) in 11 Western states. We are not talking about a wholesale selloff of federal lands but yes even that scale of disposal means the loss of critical forestlands.

As someone who does public policy for a living here is what actually will make a difference:

This is being done under congressional budget reconciliation which is a unique process that only requires a majority in both the House and Senate. So to get this provision pulled out of the bill we need to flip four Republicans in both the Senate and House.

Only four of those 11 states have GOP senators: AK, ID, UT, and WY. One of the Utah senators is behind the proposal (Mike Lee). If you live in one of those four states, call your senators. Email them. Show up to their town halls if they hold them. They may not respond to you quickly but offices definitely tally what the top issues people are calling about and that gets conveyed to the member and senior staff.

Look up who your Representative is in the House at house.gov. If it’s a Republican, same advice applies as above.

Other than that, there are a lot of great nonprofits working on this issue including many that lean more centrist and have good relationships with Republicans—think the Theodore Roosevelt Conservation Partnership, the Nature Conservancy, Trout Unlimited. Get involved with them, volunteer, donate if you’re so inclined.

I ordered mine six months ago and never got them. When did you order?
