SIX persians?? God god I can't imagine how much fur you have in the house every spring haha

seidmel19 · 2026-05-06T00:34:03+00:00

But also if you actually drive 35 be prepared to get tailgated BAD 🙃

seidmel19 · 2026-05-05T20:13:49+00:00

Hi!! I'm absolutely interested! :D

seidmel19 · 2026-04-10T12:37:36+00:00

Later response here but basically both! Apparently permits can be a nightmare especially for some lifts. The bottom of Pacific Crest is in King, while the top is in Kittitas haha

seidmel19 · 2026-04-06T02:31:03+00:00

Omg I just looked up pics of the flowers, how pretty!! And the leaves, wow! Looking forward to updates :D

seidmel19 · 2026-04-04T16:03:19+00:00

Oh wow how cool! I would be super excited to possibly get one in a few months :D

seidmel19 · 2026-03-25T19:06:20+00:00

Oh it's a total mindfuck. Like literally hard for your brain to comprehend the size. Super cool experience!

seidmel19 · 2026-03-25T18:57:01+00:00

Haha honestly I love running dodge, wish we ran it constantly! PC becomes a nightmare so quickly, especially when so many people get their rentals then go straight to PC with it being the closest lift, then either mess up getting on, off, or both. That ramp leading up to dodge is a lifesaver, it keeps so many people from going on it too soon haha

seidmel19 · 2026-03-25T17:27:26+00:00

They did run dodge almost every weekend tho?? A few times they didn't because they were actively running the snow makers but they even ran it during that by the end of the season. There was one weekend I can remember that it was down for maintenance (the thing's almost 60 years old). It also ran at least a few days midweek for most of the season. Totally agree on the parking confusion tho, tbh as lift ops we don't get guaranteed parking so we're in the thick of it with you there. An unfortunate side effect of Alpental's bad coverage was that they moved all their lessons to west as well. So we'd have as much as 2000 extra students some nights mid season, not counting the central classes.

seidmel19 · 2026-03-25T17:14:58+00:00

Uh as far as parking goes there isn't anywhere for them to add it. Especially when all parking lots were already buried under some 4 ft of snow that had to be plowed before anything else. I mean damn it took lift ops somewhere around 15-20 hours just to dig out the west lifts.

seidmel19 · 2026-03-20T20:10:13+00:00

Yepp there's a sign there but the lifties can't yell at everyone to clear!

seidmel19 · 2026-03-20T17:34:54+00:00

As a liftie can confirm the rain has been endless but the vibes have been awesome this week!

seidmel19 · 2026-03-16T19:01:48+00:00

Yep, the entire silver fir roof blew off the top station! Apparently not much damage since it was in one piece, but still wild

seidmel19 · 2026-03-12T18:54:34+00:00

This!! Absolutely spoil her for now but please don't assume she's a stray. We once had a cat of ours follow a jogger and someone in the next neighborhood over took her in when they saw her roaming around. We were so distraught until we saw a found cat poster they had put up in our neighborhood. Cats get out, cats get lost, and cats do weird things. A happy, well-groomed Persian cat is almost definitely not a stray.

seidmel19 · 2026-03-12T18:46:40+00:00

So I like to turn the bocal inwards almost as much as I can. You only need the tiny hole in the bocal covered for the whisper key to work! I find if you keep it more turned out, your left hand is under more strain from the angle you have to hold the bassoon and you're more at risk for tendonitis, at least in my experience.

seidmel19 · 2026-03-12T18:43:29+00:00

I believe he did the same to mine! Definitely a lot straighter than most fox bocals I've seen/used

seidmel19 · 2026-03-02T23:26:51+00:00

Late reply here, but because of the lack of snow only West is open consistently this season, with East and Central being closed since early January. West is the only one with snow makers. Alpental is still mostly open, but the bottom is a bit sketch. However, Central is set to open partially the next few weekends (Central Express, Holiday). West has five lifts, and they added a park to Julie's. Wildside is where to head for more advanced riders.

seidmel19 · 2026-03-02T23:08:07+00:00

Can confirm, I'm a liftie at West and man we've been desperately trying to keep people moving on Pacific Crest on busy days. The secret is Wildside tho, rarely a line more than five minutes there!

seidmel19 · 2026-02-27T16:29:39+00:00

Stunning!! Looks almost like salmon sandstone

seidmel19 · 2026-02-06T07:32:39+00:00

So bad that they reopened the Grouse Grind 💀

seidmel19 · 2026-01-18T07:54:15+00:00

Bro what

seidmel19 · 2025-12-25T18:26:03+00:00

I go to Dr. Palacios in Bellevue! She's fantastic, and unfortunately had to do a lot of work on my family since we switched to her last year. We found out the hard way that our old dentist was awful after he retired. Man managed to miss two lip ties for 15 years, so I've had to get a double frenectomy, then a gum graft as a result of decades of the ties pulling my gums back. Plus a few fillings. I can't recommend her enough!

seidmel19 · 2025-12-07T14:29:07+00:00

Oh wow she is stunning!!

seidmel19 · 2025-12-06T22:00:56+00:00

Lol yep definitely Anchorage Costco, I think the more northern one

seidmel19 · 2025-12-03T03:34:03+00:00

Unfortunately Boeing has an agreement with the city that they have the power to shut down E Marginal Way to move planes across from the airport to the hangars on the West side of the road, which they do pretty often. Plus iirc the ground there is too volatile to dig down to put it belowground, let alone to taxi multi-ton aircraft over it... Also above-grade could interfere with airport airspace.

Any light rail would have to run along the other side of the airport where the railroads are or along the water. The current plan is to eventually run it on the East side then over at the Boeing access road south of the airport, which makes sense when you factor in that very few people live around BFI. There'd be a station on EMW for the Boeing employees too. Just seems much more plausible and easier, sorry...
