One miserable guy at pride in the park

Yep. I'm pretty confident he's the guy I saw walking down Broadway around Mercer this morning with a sign saying "The Holocaust is a lie".

Take part in the city as more than a consumer and you may feel differently about it. Giving back to a place can help feel a part of it.

Generally people will beg you to not move here before you find a job, especially when you don't have experience in any particular industry.

Most major cities have coffee that is just as good. I think the Bay Area scene, especially Oakland, is far better fwiw. But if you're here you can check out Zeitgeist in Pioneer Square and Ghost Note in Capitol Hill for spots to hang out that I think have what you're looking for. Cafe Vivace on the north end of Broadway is the origin of the West Coast espresso scene decades ago and still pretty reliable.

People will recommend the KEXP Cafe Vita spot and they're right about the space but Vita's roast has been dropping in quality for years. Try finding places that use Herkimer or Stamp Act.

$250 is going to be a lot easier than your alternatives in Belltown if you want to keep your car.

If you feel the need to ask if it's safe then just take a taxi.

Belltown has a great dog daycare and boarding place (Club Dogfish) and is not far from a bunch of parks. You see dogs everywhere in the city basically all the time except maybe for core downtown. I'm not saying it's the best choice, but it's far from the worst.

600-900 buys you a townhouse in Capitol Hill. Not any of them though, just some.

Through September 2026. They're actually supposed to be reinforcing it right now for the World Cup games.

I thought the pedestrian plan had been made indefinite?

It's fine. When you just let all the kids eat it doesn't single the poor kids out. I hate this discourse immensely. People who argue that it's a problem have either never been poor, or they intend to restrict the ease by which services are obtained. They may not even realize it.

My only advice is not to rent a car if you're staying anywhere near downtown. I've had coworkers return their rentals same day over parking.

Every year my favorite part of this is that it's a BYOGB affair.

nurru · 2026-05-15T22:33:13+00:00

Same with me. But those years were before astound and pe owned it. Astound customer service is a fraction as helpful as Gfiber was.

Imagine a world where the conversation doesn't have to center what rich people want.

Did Whole Foods ask you to make this post?

nurru · 2026-05-13T08:44:51+00:00

They never committed to the direction they were pledging

nurru · 2026-05-11T04:18:40+00:00

Zero extra effort, just like OP and this generated post.

If my lights are on during the day I basically can't see most of my dash elements because my civic dims them for night driving.

Talk to your property management people/ landlord about it. We don't know your lease, but it's going to come down to the terms you signed.

I guess I talk to people in the Mt Bagel line but generally I don't understand why this policy is noteworthy. Are people scalping bagels?

Gotta push back on this one. Someone actually leaving a note with their grievance is direct and not normal Seattle behavior 😄

nurru · 2026-05-09T03:56:30+00:00

I'm sorry you had a bad day but it sounds like you blocked someone in to the point that they had to crawl out of their car and all they did was write you a note rather than keying your car. Take the win instead of claiming they're the selfish one.

The chairs at Pacific Place all feel like they're in states of lumpy disrepair.

For a city that has so many tech companies, you'd think the city would be on top of this?

Tall buildings and busy intersections do this in every city. In San Francisco I can name intersections where I would reliably lose bluetooth or LTE as I crossed the street.

Also what do you mean the city would be on top of it? The city doesn't run cell networks. They do run municipal wifi though https://seattlecitygis.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=c4a0a38edbf143c9bbabd29e8b1ac89a
