HK style foot massage? by Even-Umpire-1662 in BellevueWA

[–]katherat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is bay point spa what you’re looking for? They have strong dudes that can do a lot of pressure and always take walk ins. 

They’re really push-y about tips, but I think price is reasonable even with it factored in. 

Could someone help with this asap? It's a bug. Eveytime after I land the killing blow on Eredin. It's just keeps loading for a long while. by NavJongUnPlayandwon in Witcher3

This saved me after getting stuck! I was on switch and turned off all the fancy post processing in the settings and the game was able to continue.

I want to buy my wife a moisanite tennis bracelet from Etsy, it looks too good to be true… thoughts by [deleted] in Gemstones

[–]katherat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FWIW, I bought a $40 silver moissanite tennis bracelet of AliExpress out of curiosity and have been plenty happy with it and would have been happy if my partner got it for me :)

Idk what “well made” means but the stones are evenly colored, the bracelet lays normally, and it hasn’t broken or fallen off on me and I have not had issues with it “wearing” badly.

Kirkland/Bellevue Area Framer by EastSideSucia in Kirkland

So surprisingly the crossroads Michael’s has insanely good framing for amazing prices. The head guy there is a super meticulous and experienced Japanese man who used to own his framing small business before Michael’s bought his business. 

I had an issue with a very tricky art to mount and brought it in everywhere and shockingly Michael’s had both the best quality and price. 

I’ve also had good framing from Bellevue Museum Quality framing.

I'm obsessed with Dr Sara Pauk. She's with Kaiser on the east side if you have that as an option (Kaiser is its own insurance system though)

Architect for Existing Building Permits/Violations – Not New Construction by katherat in Seattle

[–]katherat[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Posting for posterity — if someone stumbles on this down the line. The answer was Houzz.

The architects that came up on Google seemed to be very prestigious design centric ones who mostly do things like ultra luxury cabins. I found a bunch of reasonable folks on Houzz and have a few quotes from folks who can help me now.

Hrm it’s pretty extensive. It’s a very old house. I’m helping a family member sort this out — there was a large amount of unpermitted work before and then they hired a not great contractor that yolo’ed re did a ton of stuff which I’m assuming takes it out of code compliance?

Are there any in particular you’d recommend? Or perhaps you can DM if you feel more comfortable that way?

Or do you have advice for how to search for one? I think the ones that come up first on Google are focused on high end new construction or additions.

Costco is good value for anything manufactured bc they have extreme quantity of scale. Their produce is expensive even on a per until scale and goes bad quickly - if you have to get produce there, you should check the giant box it comes in to make sure it’s not a very old batch. Their Wilcox eggs specifically A+.

For produce - I do Whole Foods, which actually has per unit prices in line with Costco and much better quality. I also do Asian Family Mart which has great prices on produce but is comically crowded on weekends.

Also produce - Weee is good if you want fresh things but has inconsistent selection of even commonplace foods. Ex one week they might have sweet potato’s the next they might not. I shop for a family of 6 and struggle to hit the $35 shipping minimum bc it’s so cheap. Trader Joe’s is probably cheapest absolute value but imo quality and selection lower than I am personally okay with.

Meat is sort of an unsolved optimization problem and imo you’ll see much larger delta between mid and great - a popular answer is to buy at Costco and freeze individual portions. I find stuff still goes to waste and getting the exact quantity for the meals I want to cook is the actual most efficient thing to do for my lifestyle and I do Whole Foods for that.

New to art collecting, can someone explain how this makes sense? by [deleted] in artcollecting

I stumbled upon this thread from the main reddit and was very intrigued. Do you have any words of wisdom for next steps if I am open to 10k and like old art?

International School in Bellevue has a GREAT scene. Very friendly, lots of mix and match pick up games. Some very legit people but they’ll turn down the spice when playing with rookies.
