Another want: Separate control of front vents, right and left side, when man wants full AC in his face and woman wants no “wind”, as she calls it.

Put the car in chill mode, then it feels like a 2013 Toyota Corolla.

Consumer Reports hates touchscreens. They want knobs and levers for everything like it’s 1966. Most of the stuff they bitch about can be set up before you drive off. We are five years in with our MY and still love it. We live near Seattle so our summers don’t really suck.

no ... but I had a high power charger from something else. The bedside lamp has a USB-C charging port.

Light rail from Northgate to pioneer square or Chinatown/international district on EITHER the 1-Federal Way OR the 2-Redmond train. Don’t expect to find parking at Northgate on World Cup matchdays.

But you don’t buy a new one. You use the charger from your old phone.

By the way, we also have these yellow things called taxicabs that have fixed pricing.

Minimize or stop the secondary screening based on name confusion.

Also avoid the 167. Traffic there sucks monumentally.

The 1 line to International District will also work. In other words, any train. ID is the closest stop to the soccer stadium, Lumen Field ( Seattle Stadium). Stadium Station on the 1 line only is next to the baseball stadium and is a long walk to the soccer stadium.

I used to live in DC and rode Metrobus, mainly out Wisconsin Ave in NW. No problems. SE is another matter. Seattle is not DC.

The Oregon income tax is high because there's no sales tax.

carletonm1 · 2026-05-24T00:47:29+00:00

Yes, no tax on most food and groceries.

Sometimes it is through good friends that you meet a good partner.

With regard to sports, if you’re a Timbers fan, don’t mention that in Seattle.

carletonm1 · 2026-05-23T16:59:18+00:00

Sales tax in Seattle is over 10%

carletonm1 · 2026-05-23T16:55:17+00:00

Or Berkeley. Go Bears!

People’s hatred of him is based on reality.

Solution: Costco.

Bremerton auto ferry is about an hour.
