r/SeattleWA Rules:

Sorry for the unconventional post guys, but dealing with a last minute cancellation.I have one ticket for sale at Section 04 for Shane Gillis' show tonight at Climate Pledge Arena. Ticketmaster hasn't allowed the resell option so I can either meet you at the entrance or transfer the ticket after payment. Proof of purchase available at request.

Thank you! 🙏🏽

The amount of cars this morning up north driving on I5 & 405 with their cars covered in snow & ice, sending debris everywhere on the freeway is appalling. You can be held liable if debris from your vehicle causes an accident

Don't be a dick, clear your roof before driving on the freeway

Looks like this took place Thursday night.

The pediatrician ordered an Echo for my 5 years old to check his heart at Seattle Children’s hospital. I got an estimate for the Echo under code 93306 for over 3500 dollars from the hospital. I am totally shocked. I spent a few hours calling back and forth with the insurance company and the hospitals billing department and eventually the hospital let me know the contacted price with the insurance company is still close to 3000 dollars. Is this normal?

I could not believe this Echo would cost this much. I have a high deductible plan (4500 deductible) so I am expecting to pay for this out of pocket. But it this really what I am expecting close to 3000 dollars just for an echo? It seems that only Seattle childrens can do Echo for young kids also around greater Seattle area.

I had a coworker today ask me about my plans for dealing with the upcoming snowstorm. I've seen multiple posts on this subreddit about snow.

What I haven't seen is a SINGLE forecast that indicates there will be significant snow in the lowlands (where Seattle is). The 10-day forecast on weather.com doesn't have ONE day in the next 10 days that has a high below 37. Cliff Mass himself says there won't be significant snow. If there is snow, it will melt the second it hits the ground and affect NOTHING.

Is it mass hysteria? Did the freezing point of water go up? What am I missing???

Hi r/SeattleWA, I have never posted on here but I'm hoping that I can use this sub as a force multiplier for spreading awareness about a man who went missing in my neck of the woods around Green Lake. The Missing Persons Unit has been deployed, but any assistance in disseminating information about him, so that he can safely return to his residence would be of great assistance. He has some cognitive impairments and is considered by the SPD to be an endangered person. For a reference picture and description of his appearance when last seen please see: https://www.fox13seattle.com/news/seattle-police-searching-missing-endangered-man.amp

Thank you in advance for anything that you can do to aid this search!

I’ve been a housing developer for decades. I can assure you there is plenty of need and demand for affordable housing, and not nearly enough money to pay for it. Every year, all the funds available for subsidizing affordable housing development get used up. So you’d think I’d be all for additional funding sources – the demand is there.

I would be all for this additional funding source if it was earmarked for where the need is greatest: people making less than half of the area median income. The problem is, it’s not earmarked for those lowest income households. This funding in this proposal is designated for housing that serves households making 80% - 120% of area median income.

Let’s look at the numbers! Right now the City of Seattle’s rent for an 80% 1BR unit is $2,259. That’s more than the average rent in Seattle, which, according to Zillow, is $2,059, and the social housing folks want to built housing up to 120% AMI.

So why should taxpayers pay for housing that the market is already building? Social housing won’t have better amenities than market rate housing, so it won’t be as competitive.

Why put a lot of financial risk on a local social housing agency? Local governments are already struggling. The eviction crisis is putting immense pressure on local affordable housing developers already. Maybe spend taxpayer dollars there.

I say yes to taxing the rich, and yes to subsidizing affordable housing. Even having government-owned housing is fine (public housing could be a great thing if it weren’t so chronically underfunded). But this model at this time isn’t needed – let’s put the money where we need it, in new or existing low income housing.

Hey everyone! I just moved to Seattle (24M, Indian) and want to check out the nightlife here. The thing is, I’m kinda shy when it comes to making friends at clubs or starting conversations. So I figured, why not try connecting here first?

If anyone’s up for going out, showing me around, or just vibing together, hit me up! Would love to explore some good spots with cool people rather than going solo. Also, any recommendations for the best nightclubs in the city?

Let me know!

This upcoming week has potential snow in the horizon, I’m originally from California and I have never had to deal with snow, I live in Capitol Hill and I don’t drive as I use public transportation.

I do live on a hill, so I’m kinda nervous about that! Do people actually use those shoe spike attachments that they sell at Costco ? What tips do you have ?

I am seeing in the news snow is expected next week. I don't want it! I HATE it! it sucks, and it makes life hazardous. It's not beautiful. Wat do we need to do to convince CLiff Mass to stop this?

The state of Washington is taking a bold step toward tackling reckless drivers and speeding with a new bill that could change how high-risk drivers get back on the road.

House Bill 1596 (HB 1596), sponsored by several Democratic representatives, proposes a special restricted a restricted driver’s license for individuals who have had their licenses suspended due to excessive speeding or reckless driving.

But there’s a catch — these reckless drivers will be required to install an Intelligent Speed Assistance (ISA) device in their vehicles.
