Food gardening in western wa

I've tried (and failed) to find information on food gardening specifically in western Washington. We have such a specific wet and dark climate but most resources focus mostly on temperature. I'm interested in gardening all seasons, if possible, not just summer time. Any recommendations for books\classes\online resources?

Thanks for any help!

Farm fresh eggs?

I am new to the area and am trying to find a good place to regularly purchase fresh local eggs, preferably somewhere open on weekends as I work full time during the week. I’m looking forward eggs from well cared for, healthy, and humanely treated chickens, and I love a nice orange colored yolk. I appreciate any suggestions!

Local Owned Stores

Hello!!

I am looking for locally owned and operated stores for just about anything. Main focus is groceries. I know there’s the farmers markets, but I can’t make it out on a regular basis.

  • Meats
  • Bakeries
  • Butchers
  • any type of local food.

Particularly would like Graham/Puyallup/Tacoma/Fife.

Trying to avoid Tacoma boys and Emish market. I love both but want to spread the wealth.

It's almost that time of year and I want some good tamales.

Where's the best place to find them? Someone selling from the trunk of their car? I wanna know where! The search only found one thread from last year without any answers. Thanks in advance.

What are some can’t-miss events happening in Puyallup? I religiously attend the Santa Parade every year, but I'm looking for some other options.

2024 A Victorian Country Christmas Festival - December 5th - 8th at the Washington State Fair Events Center

Crafters' Holiday Market - December 7th 9 am-4 pm at Meridian Habitat Park

ATFS! Holiday Grinch 5K (for you overachievers in life lol) - December 8th at South Sound Running

Any others we should be aware of?

Getting to/from SeaTac from Puyallup?

I've got a 17-day holiday trip coming up next month, and am trying to determine what is the most cost-effective way of getting myself from my house in Puyallup/Frederickson/Spanaway to SeaTac (about 30 miles, at least 1-hr drive).

Since my move to the area last summer, I've tried driving and parking, but $37/day is just not doable. Just from googling, I'm seeing some off-site lots like Park 'n Jet (~$300), Doug Fox Parking (~$345), WallyPark ($275) but don't know what kind of reputation these places have.

Looks like an Uber or Lyft there and back will be ~$250. I'm not finding any public transit stops near me that could get me to the airport for an early morning flight. Are there any ideas I'm missing or am I doomed to always spend $250-$350 getting to and from the airport as long as I live where I do?

Goose Fat

Anyone know where I can get goose or duck fat before Thanksgiving?

I looked online but it is outrageously priced and I'm not driving to Seattle for it.

Farm town ?

Okay I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately and wanted to know your thoughts. So I’ve grown up here my entire life and never really thought of Puyallup as a “farm town” but when I would say I was from Puyallup to any other WA native they’d say it was. I know that WA is a blue state but now that I’ve noticed it, I think Puyallup gives off the vibe of a small conservative farm town and I just never thought of it before. This might be obvious to some, but just thought I’d put it out there if anyone else has noticed it !

Mechanic

Just wanted to make a shoutout post to John at Benchmark Auto & Diesel. He is an absolutely wonderful mechanic. I was nervous trying to find a mechanic as a woman who doesn’t know much about cars- but John to the rescue! Never once tried to upsell, or charge for extra/unnecessary work. He is incredibly talented and knowledgeable. Very friendly to work with. He replaced my Subaru wrx motor that had rod knock and even wired in a new head unit for me AND installed some parts on my Volkswagen gti (mudflaps, rear diffuser, subs & amp, oil change and brakes). He truly can do it all, and I’m so happy to support him and his small business!!

If you need any car work I highly suggest John. His business phone is 253-343-3818 you can call or text him. 😊

Tattoo shops

Hi there, I'd like to ask what the best tattoo places are in town, but I'm sure there's lots of them. Maybe a better question is how to pick the right tattoo place for you (or me). How do you find one that has the right talents or skills for the tattoo you want? What kinds of questions would you ask? But with that said, if you have a favorite I'm all ears! Thanks very much! If it matters, I'm looking to get a Banksy image on probably the inside of my forearm.

One on one dog training or board+train

Does anyone have recommendations? We have a one year old intact male French Bulldog who unfortunately had a negative interaction with two off leash dogs when we first got him at 4mos. Now he’ll cower and bark whenever he sees or goes near another dog and it’s made it quite difficult to take our training into public spaces and socialize him. We’ve tried distracting him with pets, treats, toys, changing direction etc to no avail. Looking for professional help and would like to hear who people have used in the past. TYIA!

Anybody Else Ready for Sidewalks?

Thought I liked the idea of not having sidewalks on my street, but now I’m seeing the benefit to having them, especially during these dark nights.

How do we make it happen?

Update: thank you for trialing our business

Some of you may have seen our post a couple of months ago where we were looking for people to trial our business, for those who didn't here's a quick rundown. A friend and I thought it would be cool if you could turn any photo you want into a paint by numbers kit. That way you can paint your dog, cat, partner, the whole family or whatever you want without having to be an artist.

We looked up the idea and found that the current stores in the market were ridiculously expensive or only offered kits without a frame or with a DIY frame (who wants to put together their own frame? Don't you just want to open the box and start painting). So we looked around and talked to a bunch of suppliers and eventually we were able to produce custom paint by number kits cheaper then anywhere else and already framed.

We reached out to you here on Reddit asking you to test them out at cost price and we've received some amazing feedback as a result. Thank you if you were one of our OG customers! We want to continue to grow and get more feedback and reviews though so we're re-opening the offer in case you missed it the first time around or you want to order some more kits.

You can use the code "COSTPRICEREDDIT" to get our kits for cost price (our margins are pretty slim right now, we want to be as affordable as possible). You can get up to 4 kits at that price so feel free to buy a few and plan a date night, family activity or just get your Christmas shopping done early. If you've already ordered with that code it has no been reset so you can get the deal again!

We look forward to getting more feedback and hopefully you'll love our kits enough to spread the word to your family and friends!

Verizon 5G Home Internet

I have Xfinity Superfast Internet (800mbps) and am looking to change providers. Pretty much every other ISP I've looked at it unavailable in my area (near Bradley Lake Park) but I came across an ad for Verizon and it's available. Does anyone have any experience with it?

looking for a New Doctor

Using my insurance's website has been helping, however when I look through the reviews for almost every single office around here, they are just filled with fake 5 start reviews and 1 star reviews of people who have been treated with some of the utmost disrespect and disgusting behavior. Please, I really need medical help in many areas and could use some help finding a good place around here. Any suggestions and help would be happily welcomed.

The Social Security Office requires appointments now

The bad news: you can't just show up at the Social Security Office anymore. You have to make an appointment online or call.

The great news: the process is SO much faster. I was in and out in about 15 minutes.
