I want a BLT

Is there anywhere close by that makes an exceptional one? And I'm not talking about a BLT with PNW flair like 23 grain artisan bread or a portabello mushroom toothpicked on top. Just the three ingredients on Wonder will do just fine. Any ideas?

Weekly Ladies Trivia Group

Wanting to create a girls’ trivia group for once a week. Thinking either Mondays, Wednesdays, or Thursdays. Whistle Stop has trivia on Mondays, The Berliner on Wednesdays, and Local 907 has it Thursdays. Groups are generally limited to 6. Missing sometimes is fine of course, but I’d like to make it a goal to go weekly. I’m not super good at it, but I do really enjoy it. Let me know if anyone is interested. Also feel free to DM :)

Hi All, we have recently moved to Renton and we are looking for a decent daycare for our 16 month old son. Renton II Kindercare is very close to our house.

Renton Ballot Box Locations

Not the most conveniently located for those on foot, by bus, or those who are physically disabled to access those locations.

Burien's ballot box used to be at the city hall/library building a decade ago, but now they moved it up a block. I wonder if the longterm enabled enter and welcome parties to the encampment on city hall property influenced their decision to move the box unit...., and make more room for another tent.

Countless other King County Libraries and city halls have ballot boxes located at them. But Renton is left with a defunct Elections building with two boxes at it, a library that's not accessible by bus; Kent residents have to go a falling-apart store strip with a building that hasn't been a library in over a decade but is still listed as one, a court house instead of major transit center or public shopping Plaza; and Auburn gets the gold star for having a ballot box at a nearly defunct park-and-ride /endsarcasm .

Anyone going to Puerto Rico?

My friends just threw me a bachelor party in PR. Great place, great trip. While we were there, we toured a rum distillery, Scryer Rum. Unfortunately, the distillery didn’t sell their own product. There’s a place between the distillery and the airport that sells it but our timeline to get to the airport didn’t give us enough time to stop. If there is anyone going to Puerto Rico in the next couple weeks, I’d be willing to pay a small premium for three or four bottles plus your baggage fee so you can get the bottles here. I’d like to give them as gifts to the guys who paid for the tour (plus one for myself).

Name of bakery at Renton Farmer's market

Hello all!

Last year, the Renton Farmers market had a bakery stand that was selling a seeded sourdough loaf. It was one of the most incredible loaves of bread I've ever had, but they were not at the market this year! Does anybody remember the name? I'd love to be able to find them again. Their logo had little mushrooms in the design and was stamped on paper bags. I believe they only sold bread products and not pastries. I dream about that loaf and want to track them down!

Thanks!

Edit: solved!! It is Understory. Thanks everyone!

Cat for sale

2yr old Maine Coon, another 20 yrs of life in him, all 9 lives still on the meter, 20lbs and 33" tall, fully intact for breeding the next generation of Maine Coons. $250 asking price. Pick up at my apartment, HARD SHELL PET CRATE ONLY, not soft, he is an Escape Artist.

I'm out of cat food, cat litter, money. He needs another cat to dominate him, he has attitude issues. I'm walking on eggshells in my own home. So tired and burned out. Needs to be picked up by Saturday 8pm, then I'll be out of cat food, and he refuses human food like an uppity socialite rejecting fast food.

Please help. Please help.

Activities, extracurriculars, classes, etc. for nonverbal/ autistic children? (5/6yo)

I would love to know if you know of any good programs, sports or things of that nature that can accommodate or are familiar with working with children with developmental challenges. My child is very limited on their speech and understanding but I would love to find some enriching things for them to do outside of therapies.

Domestic Violence Awareness Month and Winter Preparations in Renton

Hey Renton residents, in recognition of Domestic Violence Awareness Month, City Hall is displaying purple lights and the Silent Witness exhibit to honor victims. The City of Renton has also partnered with Project Be Free to enhance crisis response services.

Also, winter preparations are in full swing as the Public Works Department tests equipment and stockpiles materials. With a La Niña winter expected, the city has stored 9,500 gallons of de-icer and 700 tons of salt to manage ice and snow.

Board gamers in the area?

Hello all, I'm moving to the area, and I'd like to connect with local board gamers and strategy game players. My first day in Renton will be on the 14th, and I don't know exactly what my first week will look like yet, but I think it'd be fun to meet up at a local bar or something and discuss interests and possibly break out a game.

Board game-wise, I enjoy playing Root and Twilight Imperium, as well as some lesser known games like Racoon Tycoon, Detective: City of Angels, and Letters from Whitechapel.

Strategy game wise, I have some Warhammer minis (Age of Sigmar and 40k), but I'd interested in exploring some other systems as well.

I can't say I'm interested in collectible card games, or doing anything competitive-- I'm far more interested in simply cracking some fun puzzles and having a laugh. My competitive side is channeled to other pursuits. Thanks for your consideration!
