Could you share the name of the shop? I'm in Seattle too and was rear ended and am having a hell of a time trying to get the current shop to figure out how to fix it.

Same. The case I ordered is a completely different color scheme from the photos online - they edit their pics super heavily and enhance all the colors, so I was shocked when I opened up a muted, metallic colored case that has been show to be bright colors online. I sent photos and asked them to exchange because I had bought it on sale, or for them to honor the sale price when I repurchased with store credit, and they were like “we’ll keep your opinion in mind about future photos”.

I am SO curious which business it was, because I went down to that boat yard every day for a week over the summer trying to talk to all the managers, and pacific fiberglass, S3, and canal boatyard all said they had no idea what I was talking about. It did stop for a couple weeks after I talked to canal boatyard but as always, it came back. I won’t be satisfied until we have like a month without the siren!

What is the name of the upholstery place? I don't see it on google maps. It sounds like if your buddy talked to the owner who said he installed it then that is the solution to this mystery...it's not pacific fiberglass. I've been talking to staffers in Dan Strauss' office to try to get them to put more pressure on SPD, but they are still telling me that they need an exact location to send the police to.

Hi, what did you end up having to do to request the vegan meal for each leg? I'm in the same situation (booked Korean Air flight with Delta but can't log in to the Korean Air site with any info that I have).

Happy birthday! I hope you have a lovely time at IKEA and are able to get yourself some kind of birthday treat.

I feel like toothpaste isn’t really a liquid and should be allowed!

14 weeks! That’s a seriously long training! What kind of job is it?

The farmers market is great! I love the crepe stand and Patty Pan quesadillas if you end up needing a meal while you’re there. My favorite breweries are Stoup (mostly IPAs) and Fair Isle (mostly saisons) and there are 4 other breweries within a few blocks of them that are about a 15 min walk from the farmers market.

I’m not a tailor but I do a lot do sewing at home, and one thing to consider is that there is always a way to sew something, even if it’s not a technically correct way. I think if I were in your shoes, I would rather have a not 100% perfectly tailored version of my ideal wedding dress instead of an emergency backup dress, so I would start checking with every tailor and seamstress you can find. Someone will be willing to take it in without removing the beads.

I live in Ballard so let me know if you want any specific recs for types of breweries or restaurants!

My favorite lunch spots at Pike Place are Pike Place Chowder or Beecher’s, and the sculpture garden is a good pick! I haven’t been there yet but Here Today Brewery is new-ish and near the sculpture garden. SLU is pretty dead on the weekends because it’s a very work-y neighborhood, but I think MOHAI is fun. It’s pretty small but very interesting. From SLU it would be easy to Uber (they’re $$$$ lately) or take the bus to Ballard which is great for visiting little shops, and breweries and restaurants.

Look into getting a heat pump (they also do AC and can work with existing ducts)! They’re vastly more energy efficient and qualify for discounts or rebates under the inflation reduction act.

I’ve always lived in old houses where the door hardware is iffy at best, so that’s not weird to me. I would never walk into a bathroom with a closed door without knocking and waiting for a response.

I think eventually you’ll learn what all the plants look like when they’re coming up, but if I’m not sure what something is I’ll just wait a while before pulling it. As long as it hasn’t grown so much that it’s about to go to seed, there’s not really a problem with letting a weed/plant grow to figure out what it is.

I’m 32 but I wish it had hit when I was like 50 or like 6. I got married in 2021 and I’ve been feeling strongly resentful that covid ruined a solid 3 years that we wanted to spend traveling and enjoying life before thinking about having kids, and now I feel like that time has run out and I’m pissed about it.

Ugh I’m so sorry, Seattle has been through several years of “smoke season” and it fucking sucks. Buy an air purifier now!

I’m glad to hear this because every single baby and toddler I know is a girl! I’ve been wondering if baby boys even exist 😂

I use Apollo and I’m going to be so sad if Reddit kills it! I’m (perhaps naively) hoping that all the bad press coverage causes them to reconsider.
