Minimum wage

Hello! Can someone tell me the minimum wage in FW? I read 20.29 is this true? Tacoma is at 16.66 so surprising to see such a jump a couple miles out of it is true .

Chinese buffet that used to be in FW?

Does anyone remember an Asian/Chinese buffet with emphasis on seafood that used to be in Federal Way, I think somewhere near I5/18? Would have been there around ten years ago or so. It was really good for a buffet and reasonably priced. I can't find anything that matches what I remember šŸ˜•

A Cha Cha Slide of SR 18 traffic over to new lanes near I-90 interchange

Everybody clap your hands for this exciting news!

A screenshot from the Cha Cha Slide music video with white font lyrics at the bottom that say Cha Cha Now Y'all.

State Route 18 travelers will soon enjoy a smoother driving surface after tonight, as we reach a milestone in our Interstate 90/SR 18 Interchange Improvements project. Weā€™re about to shift a mile-long section of eastbound and westbound SR 18 onto new pavement. This shift will occur between the Lake Creek and Raging River bridges (mileposts 28 to 26) south of I-90 and allows our crews to rehabilitate the existing lanes along this section of SR 18 to carry eastbound traffic once the highway is widened two lanes in each direction later this year. Westbound and eastbound traffic will slideā€¦to the west south of the Lake Creek bridge, and slideā€¦back to the east just north of the Raging River bridge.

Map shows area near the Interstate 90/State Route 18 interchange. A green line shows the area where a lane shift will occur and is pointed to by a white and green arrow and a green box that says ā€œEastbound & westbound SR 18 shift to new lanesā€.

Weā€™ll make the switch Tuesday night, Jan. 28, when weā€™ll set barrier and restripe the roadway. This work requires we reduce SR 18 to a single lane, with flaggers and a pilot truck alternating eastbound and westbound traffic from 9 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 28, to 5 a.m. Wednesday, Jan. 29. People traveling through the area Tuesday night should expect short delays, follow instructions from flaggers and signs, and cha cha real slow by following the 45 mph speed limit through the construction zone. This work is weather dependent and may need to be rescheduled.

Once we finish the shift to the new lanes Wednesday morning, drivers should stay alert, and cha cha real slow near the transition areas and enjoy the new, smooth pavement that soon will be home to two westbound lanes of SR 18.

Two steam rollers compact fresh asphalt placed next to a rural two-lane highway with concrete barrier along the edge. Orange fence lines a forested area, with a mountain in the distance.

Where to buy Pokemon cards?

Hey guys! I want to surprise my boyfriend with the prismatic evolution collection. I donā€™t know much about collecting and this will be my first time hunting. I understand that these cards officially release tomorrow, but Iā€™ve seen videos of people purchasing them early. Iā€™m curious if anyone has any tips for securing these Pokemon cards? Or should I be on the lookout for a different collection? Thanks!

Any nail salons that do builder/hard gel nails?

Iā€™ve been living abroad and was introduced to hard gel nails which I have been loving. Are there any salons in the area which offer this service? Itā€™s different from just gel polish and also different from Gel X which is considered soft gel. TYIA!

Back Home.

Hey Fed fam!

I (35 M) just moved back to FW from Seattle after 17 years and am looking for gym/activity partners. I went to elementary, middle and high school here, and moved back to keep my dad company after my mom passed a couple months back. Just realized everyone i used to know here, is married with kids, moved out, or has passed away.

Iā€™m currently on sabbatical so i have an open schedule. Even if its a simple walk, a hike, throwing a ball around let me know, iā€™m decent at everything. Any age and gender is fine with me!
