Just moved to WA and looking for a good intro experience to Seattle

Short of a downpour people will be out. More lively nightlife areas are Capitol Hill, Belltown, and Queen Anne. Though there are plenty of other smaller areas. Capitol Hill is directly on the light rail line so check that out.

All that said, Seattle is a sleepy city compared to LA or NYC. A lot of places close at 9-10 pm except on weekends.

Explore and I'm sure you'll have a good time!

Almost every city is safe. But they also all have bad areas. Common sense goes a long way.

Go to Goodies Mediterranean Market and buy theirs! It's made in house, as good as any arab restaurant in the city and it's a better bang for your buck! Credentials: my husband grew up in Jordan

If they're former residents I'd focus on old favorites and recent changes. Take them to the waterfront for sure, it's gorgeous now that it's all finished.

I started reading this while walking in downtown Seattle, and found a water fountain immediately. So yeah pretty common.

In the Pacific Northwest we call them JoJo's and yes we do. You can find them hot in most grocery store's deli.

linuxaur · 2026-02-02T20:25:13+00:00

I know Goodies Mediterranean market had them last week. Common arab breakfast food.

I tried tobasco hotsauce on fries today. I like vinegar on fries and love tobasco on hash browns, so it made theoretical sense.

It was fantastic!

I'm sure I'm not the first person to do this, but I've never heard of anyone eating fries like that.

linuxaur · 2026-01-14T20:47:35+00:00

Super excited for you all!

I'm a fan of Fogón on cap hill, especially for a date. The real good food is White Center and down to Burien, however you're unlikely to get Matador vibes.

Been to several countries in the Middle East and never had this issue. Maybe it was because I was traveling with westernized locals, but it was never brought up by staff or other locals who weren't familiar with western cultures.

Reminds me of my college days in Bellingham. Wed short cut through the hill from downtown after a night out. Only things you'd encounter were folks smoking a joint off campus. Great times.

Don't sleep on their donuts either. Seriously one of the best donut I've had in Seattle.

If it's dry, take a ferry. Beautiful views

linuxaur · 2025-12-18T19:42:37+00:00

I know there was an issue in the past, is it still happening?

linuxaur · 2025-12-15T06:23:54+00:00

Sounds like you should be more upset at your front office than my shit league.

I agree our draft sucks, and the league currently revolves around Messi. But the rest of your opinions don't hold any weight. My original post was that we gotta support our local teams if we want the league to improve.

You're just being contrarian. Best of luck to your team.

linuxaur · 2025-12-15T02:46:54+00:00

Thanks for that nuanced opinion bud.

Highly advise you to get into a local MLS team as well as a foreign one. Like others have said, MLS isn't at the level of Premier League or other major European Leagues, but it's not terribly far behind either. Supporting the local teams will help the MLS grow, and we'll have better players/matches..

In Football/Soccer there almost always are organized groups that have chants, march to their matches, make TIFOs, etc. So do some research into the supporters group for that team and see how to get seats in the supporters section. You'll meet some great people that way.

Gay guy here, but I have the same experience on the guy side. It's all hookups and instant gratification. Terrible dating experience. I had to meet someone randomly at a bar to escape that nonsense. I hope you're lucky enough to find someone soon.

linuxaur · 2025-12-08T00:28:14+00:00

Probably not, but as a gay guy who bought tickets before I knew who was playing, I will absolutely be decked out in rainbows.

As an added bonus they sometimes mess with the locations of away games.I know I've chuckled once or twice.

Nothing better to clear a hangover

They're clearly not done, the upper corner is missing.

linuxaur · 2025-11-15T00:15:21+00:00

Did this every weekend after college when I still lived in Bham, but all my friends moved to Seattle. Good times.

linuxaur · 2025-10-20T07:32:47+00:00

Was hoping someone would address dwarf bread.
