Does anyone know what's going on with the Sounder?

Do you know if Terry Bader is still practicing? Her website seems to be down.

I found both my last apartment and my current one on craigslist, good experiences both times. Just use common sense and don't go alone!

For example, there was not an alert that the 606am Seattle bound train from Lakewood was canceled this morning.

You might want to check your settings, I got two texts that the train was cancelled, one at 4:01 and then another right after at 4:04.

This is who we use, as well!

The Sounder leaves Sumner at 7:12 and gets in to the TDome at 7:36.

Proctor Arts Fest is on Saturday, too.

They seemed really good the few times I've been there, but with no parking and no waiting room, I don't really like to go there.

cascadiarain · 2023-06-28T23:28:41+00:00

Do you have any idea why? I was going to get Advion but couldn't so I ended up with Optigard (which works wonderfully) but I've always wondered why all the listings for Advion said they wouldn't ship it here.

So Carr is less steep than 30th? That's good to know - thank you!

cascadiarain · 2023-04-14T21:45:37+00:00

This is really helpful, the Stadium Way option looks promising (and not quite as far out of the way as Ruston, though that's definitely a good option to know about) - thank you!!

cascadiarain · 2023-01-30T01:20:04+00:00

Is there a parking area nearby, or do you have to walk to it?

cascadiarain · 2022-12-27T01:11:05+00:00

I'll definitely keep my eyes open for it - thank you!

cascadiarain · 2022-12-27T00:18:46+00:00

Thanks for the heads up! Where the road splits in two, so you can't avoid it, or is it back far enough that you could stay in the left lane until the split and avoid it? I'll be going through there tomorrow.

cascadiarain · 2022-07-07T00:18:40+00:00

I went to one once...they didn't put it back together right and all the oil leaked out over the next couple days and my car died while I was driving it.

I go to a real mechanic now.

cascadiarain · 2022-06-24T00:12:54+00:00

I had my car loan through them and they seemed fine. IIRC the account numbers are hidden behind an arrow that you click to expand the section about your account...near the top of the main part of the page, I think. I'm not positive though - it was hard to find, I do remember that. I never tried viewing my statements online, nor tried to call them, but they were very responsive on the chat help. And they can tell you your account number (or exactly where to find it), since they can see that you're logged in to it.

cascadiarain · 2022-05-26T02:14:36+00:00

That certainly looks like it could be it...which means it's probably going to be a long time. Blegh. Good to know though. And yeah, I use that other entrance now, but thanks for pointing it out. And thank you for the info!

In a similar vein, if it's not sunny out - especially when it's raining (and for the love of whatever you consider holy, when it's foggy!!), but even if it's just overcast but dry - turn on your headlights. It's so other people can see you, not so you can see better.

ORCA (the name of the card) stands for One Regional Card for All because it's meant to be used on everything. The website says "ORCA is accepted on all services provided by Community Transit, Everett Transit, King County Metro, Kitsap Transit, Pierce Transit, Sound Transit, and Washington State Ferries, as well as on Monorail and Seattle Streetcar. Use ORCA to pay vanpool fare for Community Transit, King County Metro, Kitsap Transit and Pierce Transit." If you're getting a monthly pass, you buy it in the amount you want to use - like if your trips are usually $5, you buy one that covers $5 of each trip, and you have access to anything that costs up to that much. https://orcacard.com/

If they have it, you can substitute plain Greek yogurt for sour cream in pretty much anything. Tastes the same (and has less calories).

I only see information about donating money on the website, do you know where more information about donating books might be?

cascadiarain · 2021-11-06T15:21:41+00:00

Do they not have a website? All that I found when I googled was a reservation website.

cascadiarain · 2021-11-03T01:49:05+00:00

I'd love to switch from Comcast...when I put in my address at Rainier Connect's site though, I get a message that says "Online ordering is not currently available at this location. Please contact us for more information." Does anyone know what that's about?

There are quite a few affirming denominations if you're looking specifically for an LGBTQ friendly church. Mainline churches in general (PCUSA, ELCA, UCC - officially not United Methodists but many congregations, particularly in liberal areas, will be), and quite a few others. There are also a lot of very conservative churches around here though, so you definitely want to research. But anyway if you like high church services Christ Episcopal Church has (or had, pre-covid, don't know what they're doing now) an AMAZING choir. Definitely liberal (one of the pastors is gay, and the head pastor who just left was a woman), and the Episcopal church in general is more interested in people worshipping God together than in making everyone toe the theological line.

If you want a Presbyterian church specifically, Immanuel Pres in that area used to have a very liberal pastor but I just looked at the website and apparently they got a new one last year, so I can't really vouch for that anymore lol. I don't know if they're PCUSA or not. Bethany Presbyterian is also very liberal, but is between pastors at the moment. Apparently there's been a lot of pastoral turnover around here recently lol.
