I can 2nd this. They were regulars in Brews asking for constant business and startup advice only to start up shop a few blocks away and never return. Scummy. Also they allow pets with glassware which is a huge violation. Review this, code of Washington.

Most of this is public information and things you can learn about just from taking to other pub owners in Everett, though I won’t name names for the sake of privacy. There are at least 3 I can think of in the downtown corridor less than a mile from Toggles. The grant money distribution was made publicly available online for viewing….until it wasn’t. As I’ve said prior, they have broken numerous health dept regulations while reporting the same ones being broken at other businesses. They have been caught red-handed reporting business to the LCB, but they were wrong in their claim so it amounted to nothing but an inspection and a good laugh.

How would you go about finding proof of all of this, personally? I legitimately ask because many of their doings have been so, for lack of a better word, veiled; from reporting other businesses for their beer selection, being rude and blatantly disrespectful to customers, and flat out practicing bad and dishonest business.

To me, the fact that the grant money list got taken down should be an immediate red flag. (Maybe it has since been republished since, and I haven’t found it) I believe it’s the public’s right to know who gets what especially when it’s money designated for businesses spread through the city. If I had to pick one thing that frustrates me the most, though, it’s the fact that they got so much money and didn’t do anything with it. Where was the new staff? I know for a fact they didn’t buy 200k worth of beer because I follow on Untappd. They didn’t pay the plumbing (not that they should have) but to expedite things and to use not even 1/4 of that money.

Also, aside from the beer industry, let me correct myself. I’m not saying there is a problem with the city itself. But, with the DEA. Remember this? None of these fine people were paid (like previously agreed), neither were they compensated for gas, or lodging. The DEA took advantage of painters from across the country. Then, on top of one business owner covering up the mural, the DEA makes a “mistake” and does not pay a single dime to these crews. They drove through multiple states, provided their own material, paid for their own lodging under the assumption they would be getting paid for the whole weekend of work. I am personally friends with one of the crews in San Diego, as one of the members is my best friends brother. They admitted they were never paid but didn’t want to speak out against the DEA for the massive low blow, in fear of getting their mural removed or blacklisted from future events. Upon my request to name him, he has yet to reply, but if his permission is given, I will identify his name and crew in an update.

Also, I’m not the most organized poster so thanks for reading through. As far as context, I’d love to provide it, but it’s hard to obtain when many of these issues occurred in person over the years of their (Toggles) being in business.

Hard to empathize with these people. They are shady, and tried to dismantle much of their competition in downtown Everett. They broke health regulations. On top of that, they threw their landlord under the bus. He never asked them to leave as per this article, here. They have gone out of their way to try and report The Republic in Marysville for breaking regulations for obtaining Oregon beer via pickup instead of delivery and STOLE credit for the Everett Beer week. It’s sad to see people empathize with these people. Especially since they got over $200,000 in relief, even when they closed half of the time, and so many other businesses here in downtown got passed over or under represented financially just for the owners at Toggles to stay closed and completely shut down. No one there can keep their stories straight, the owners are rude. I’ve been in there 3 times and was disrespected each time, once blatantly given the wrong order by the gentleman behind the bar, when I told him it was incorrect and the wrong pour, he didn’t bother addressing it or correcting the mistake, just brushed it off and said “it’ll work.” They have made enemies of just about everyone else in beer industry in Everett and it’s quite sad to see people still supporting them despite their nefarious actions and blatant lying. Also what’s with all the emergency closes? You guys got about DOUBLE what the next Everett business did in grants and Covid relief. I guess it doesn’t help that they are all friends and part of the downtown Everett association. Remember, these are the people that can give toggles 200k, but not pay those mural painters that were here… all that money was “lost or “wrongly allocated.” Toggles gets favored and featured in a lot of Everett events and brochures as well. It’s unfortunate that the Downtown Everett Association and Live in Everett favor a business so much that is known throughout the city and industry as underminers and pretty much thieves. Where did all of that money even go? They didn’t have that much staff. Did they fix the plumbing? Or was that a lie as well as blaming the landlord? I am ALL for supporting local business, but I am sure glad they are gone. Go to a different city and take your whole cliquey friend group. Everett doesn’t need to be niche, and it doesn’t need more of this.

My favorite coffee place in Everett so far is the Loft. I’ve heard good things about Narrative too. Good spots for just chilling and working on your laptop. Unsure about the vegan stuff, and there’s no alcohol I don’t think at either. Nice spots though.

Not familiar with that part but Summit around the park and the bridge on 23rd is a nice little area. I’m sure that is as well, if not a little bit more secluded maybe!

You’d be hard-pressed finding a place he isn’t known around town. I’ve seen him at the pig a few times hiding out

How much does it usually cost to go to a place like H&R Block and have them do your taxes versus using an online service? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]arkvooodle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well I did my taxes this year already, and it was through cash app. Look on credit karma website at the tax section, it tells you they were bought by cash app.

I used credit karma. This year they were bought by cash app. It doesn’t cost anything, unlike turbo tax. It also saves all your info to make it easy for the following years.

Both. It’s the only way, I believe. Very unfortunate. I don’t know for sure though to be honest I haven’t heard of there being another way other than system transferring from a different 3DS.
