SEATTLE — A fresh seafood market in Seattle has been hit by thieves, according to its Instagram posts.

In a post from this week, Settle Fish Guys, a seafood market and restaurant, said its store on 23rd Avenue South was robbed.

“It’s truly disheartening to report that cash, checks, equipment and our beloved smoked salmon were taken," the post said.

... Settle Fish Guys is asking the community to keep an eye out.

“If you see the smoked salmon being sold in unauthorized places," Seattle Fish Guys wrote. "If you have any information, no matter how small, please get in touch with us or the local police.”

Going to The Moore for a show by myself and want to get an idea of parking options close to the theatre. Have never been there and would like a spot that is close and relatively "safe". I realize the second option is open to interpretation.

Planning to buy a pool cue for myself but Seattle hasn’t been the best place to do it. Is there any place that I don’t know that sells cues? Planning to purchase a Cuetec cue but no place that I’ve contacted carry any of them.

In case anyone was wondering, here it is:

For a school district with plummeting enrollment, the fact that they cannot even include a field on a webpage for departing parents is nothing short of appalling. Hear no evil, see no evil...

On a work trip in Seattle. Gonna have a spare afternoon by the Seattle Public Library on 4th. Any suggestions on how to spend the time?

Pretty sure I just saw a cougar by James Baldwin Elementary at the south end of 1st Ave. Big and tan, thought it was a deer at first but then noticed a big tail. Thought coyote but the body shape was off and the tail thin and swooping with dark at the end. Damn sure that was a big kitty cat!

Curious if anyone else has had a sighting!!

After Inslee doubled down on pushing Electric Ferries for the next generation of Washington State Ferries, I did some quick searching and could not find anything definitive from the Coast Guard on approving battery powered ferry's in general and the WSDOT ferries in particular. Perhaps my search-fu was off that day.

My question, does anyone know what the Coast Guard policy is concerning Electric Ferries. The Coast Guard mission is ti keep passengers and Ferries safe. If the Coast Guard does not certify the new ferries, they are going to be very expensive dock art,

Thanks for any input.

I was told by a local that I can smoke marijuana on the sidewalk and the cops would ignore it. Is that the case? Is it illegal but not somethingthey choose to mess with or is it just legal? .

I grew up in Illinois. I spent my 20’s in (the south) mostly Florida, my 30’s in ‘The California.’ My 40’s in Colorado and it looks like now, my 50’s in Washington..

Do you want to know the one thing that all those place have in common?

The sun… 🌞 What am I getting myself into?

As a father who drives in Seattle, I've noticed something amusing about the driving habits here. I tend to be a cautious and defensive driver, especially since I often have my kids in the car with me. That means sticking pretty closely to the speed limit, especially on city roads. For example, if it's a 25 mph zone, I'll cruise along at 25, maybe nudging up to 28 occasionally. And if I accidentally find myself at 30, I quickly slow down to 25.

But here's the funny part: despite my adherence to the speed limit, I often see drivers zoom past me, only to end up stopped at the same red light as me moments later. It's like a game of leapfrog, except nobody's actually getting ahead.

I get it, Seattle can be a stressful city to drive in, but let's remember that speeding won't magically get you to your destination any sooner. So, let's all take a breath, stick to the speed limits, and enjoy the ride.

Hi, I need advice on how to communicate with service providers that are collecting sales tax from me while I am out of state.

My home in WA continues to be my "billing address" while I am temporarily staying with my parents in FL. But I noticed that service providers (specifically Costco and Apple) continue to charge me sales tax for software I purchased and exclusively used while I am in Florida, not WA.

I purchased TurboTax electronic download while I was in Florida and will only use while I am in Florida (as I have already filed taxes). I will delete TurboTax from my computer before I return.

I purchased a monthly AppleCare+ subscription that was active for periods while I was in Florida.

Per 458-20-15503, the software was not purchased in WA or used in WA, thus I should not be charged a sales tax:

1. How do I communicate with these businesses when there is no option in the checkout cart to remove the sales tax?
2. When I moved from FL to WA (many years ago), was I supposed to pay sales tax on the software and products that I bought in FL and that I brought with me in the moving van? If not, why not?

Please please cite the primary and secondary sources when answering my questions. I am not from a state that collects sales tax on services and I am trying to deeply understand how this works in WA.

I was cited for driving 5 over the limit (officer claimed 60 in a 55MPH zone). Does anyone have a good experience with a traffic attorney that they recommend? Any lawyers local to Skagit County (where the court is located) or in Seattle/King county (where I live) would be helpful! Thank you in advance.

(Some have said that the judge would probably just toss out 5 over, but I would rather be safe than sorry and hire an attorney.

I don’t want use my deferral—others advised to “save” it for larger offences. Plus, I would rather have a lawyer (hopefully) fight for a dismissal or non-moving rather than a deferral.)

SEATTLE — Protestors of the Israeli military's action in its war with Hamas in Gaza set up an encampment Monday morning on the University of Washington campus, joining a dozen or so other colleges nationwide.

Pro-Palestinian demonstrators began setting up tents at the Quad around 8 a.m., calling for UW to divest any interests in Israel and cut ties with Boeing.

UW, which had "no camping" signs on the property, said it will monitor the situation throughout the day and "respond as appropriate to maintain a safe and secure environment for our campus community."

The demonstration has been peaceful Monday morning.

I just got a ticket in the mail from City of Kent for not coming to a full stop (RCW 46.61.055 & Kent City Code 9.36.150). I was driving in the right turn lane, did a full stop right after crossing the white line (rear bumper on the white line), then turned (seen in the video). The mail shows two photos of me, right before crossing the white line, and in the middle of crossing the white line. There is no 'No turn of red' sign. I think stopping after the white line can be an issue...

Is it worth doing a mitigation/contested hearing (by mail) to see whether it can be tossed or reduced fine?
