Does anyone have suggestions for a personal trainer (ideally for seniors)?

Hi all,

My parents recently retired and moved to King County area (Renton Highlands). I'm worried about their health deteriorating as they haven't been exercising at all. I want to find them a personal trainer who can teach them basic strength training fundamentals and encourage them to do cardio (like elliptical).

Does anyone have recommendations for a senior-specialized (or just a patient) personal trainer? Or any programs they recommend? Thank you!

Bill Nye Comes Out Against I-2117

For your "orthographic processing" consideration 😂

“But take a look at Initiative 2117. It’s written to confuse you. The mega-millionaires behind it don’t want you to know it will mean more air pollution, threaten clean water and put our health at risk.”

Affordable Dental Care—Northgate

Hey everyone! 👋 My name is Mike, and I’m a dental hygiene student in Northgate, Seattle. We all know how important it is to take care of our bodies through exercise and a healthy lifestyle, but have you thought about your oral health lately? Just like your workout routine keeps you strong, maintaining your teeth is key to keeping your overall health in check! 🦷💪

I’m currently looking for patients, and I’d love to help you achieve your healthiest smile. Whether your last cleaning was 6 months ago or 6 years ago, I’m here to provide affordable, high-quality care while completing my degree!

What to Expect:

•	New Patient Exam for $19.99: This includes X-rays, an oral cancer screening, and an exam by a licensed dentist.
•	After the exam, we’ll determine the type of cleaning you need. There is an additional fee for cleanings, but it’s way less than traditional dental offices!
•	Most insurances, including state insurance, are accepted—your fees may be reduced or even covered!

The appointments take longer than at a regular office (about 2.5-3 hours), but that’s because I’m learning under the supervision of licensed dental professionals, and every detail matters!

If you or someone you know lives near North Seattle or can make the trip, I’d love to see you as a patient. 💙 Let’s get your smile shining as bright as your daily routine!

Message me for more details or to schedule an appointment. My chair is open!

I have a car I sold for scrap that was abandoned, now an impound has it and I owe almost $2000 in fees, what happens if I just don’t pay it?

The car is worthless, I sold it to a scrapper who said they’d chop it up and take it to the scrap yard. Instead, they stripped everything from it and dumped the shell of the car on a street and now it’s in the pound.

If I never pick it up, the car goes to auction, they’ll probably sell it for at most a few hundred, which would go towards my bill, which would hardly make a dent in it. By the time it’s auctioned, I will owe probably over 3k.

To my understanding, I’m worried that I’ll never pick up the car or pay for it, it’ll go to auction, they’ll submit some sort of car abandonment paperwork to the DOL, I’ll wind up probably getting legal fees and potentially a suspended license

I honestly feel like my only viable option would be to do nothing, let the car go to auction, and then wait. I read that if I do that, they’ll auction the car, and I’ll only owe up to $500. But I’m not sure if that’ll come with any other issues like destroying my credit, legal violations, etc.

No idea what to do here. I thought about a court hearing but the tow company did everything according to law, I sold a car without filing a notice of sale, and somebody dumped it.

Renting finished heated shop

We have a detached heater shop on our property in Redmond in unincorporated King county. What is the process to rent it for like a dance studio? Do I need to talk to King County or City of Redmond about the requirements?

MONSTER WEEKEND ahead: Closures on SR 520, NB I-405, SB SR 167, and I-5

Summer construction season is coming to an end, but not before we tackle our biggest weekend of construction for the region this year. We're calling it our Monster Weekend. Buckle up (literally) because here's what's going down:

A map depicting full closures of State Route 520, Mercer Street on ramps to I-5, Northbound I-405 in Renton, Southbound SR 167 in Kent, and I-5 OVERNIGHTS ONLY near Fife. The map is covered in cute cartoon monsters.

SR 520 CLOSED - highway and trail

-Where: From I-5 in Seattle to 92nd Ave NE in Clyde Hill
-When: 11 p.m. Friday, Sept. 27, to 5 a.m. Monday, Sept. 30
-What: Working on lighting and the fire suppression system under the new Montlake lid over SR 520.

NB I-405 in Renton CLOSED

-Where: From Sunset Boulevard Northeast/Southport Drive (Exit 5) to Coal Creek Parkway SE
-When: 11 p.m. Friday, Sept. 27, to 4 a.m. Monday, Sept. 30.
-What: Shifting northbound traffic onto a new bridge. A signed detour will be available. This work is weather-dependent and may be rescheduled.

SB SR 167 in Kent CLOSED

-Where: From SR 516 to South 27th Street
-When: 11:59 p.m. Friday, Sept. 27, to 4 a.m. Monday, Sept. 30.
-Why: Paving and striping sections of SB SR 167. This work is weather-dependent and may be rescheduled.

Both directions I-5 CLOSED - overnights only!

-Where: Between SR 18 in Federal Way and 54th Ave E in Fife
-When: Overnight Friday, Sept. 27, and Saturday, Sept. 28. NB lanes will close by 10:30 p.m. and SB lanes by 11 p.m. On Saturday, lanes begin opening at 7 a.m. (fully open by 11 a.m.). On Sunday, lanes begin reopening at 8 a.m. (fully open by noon).
-Why: Setting girders for a new overpass crossing I-5.

Mercer Street on-ramps to I-5 CLOSED

-Where: Mercer Street on-ramps to both NB and SB I-5 in Seattle
-When: 10 p.m. Friday, Sept. 27, and 5 a.m. Monday, Sept. 30.
-Why: Paving the ramp and adjacent shoulders.

Some of these closures have detours, but a warning: Detour routes cannot accommodate normal traffic volumes, so try to travel during off-peak hours or, if possible, delay your trip to help minimize backups.

It's been a long summer of road work. You've been patient, and we're grateful for that. We need to get this work done now before we fully enter The Big Gray.

My friend is missing. Plz help?

My friend Dylan Gordon is missing. He was in a sober living house for a while. Originally from Knoxville, TN. His mother reached out to me saying she hasn’t heard from him since May. I tried posting this to the Seattle Reddit but they banned me. We are just trying to find him. Please spread the word and this photo so we can find him.
