r/SeattleWA Rules:

I have a ticket and won’t be able to make it!

S Jackson and Little Saigon are strong!

There were a series of horrifying stabbings in Little Saigon last week. Our hearts our with the victims. One of the events occurred across the street from my bicycle shop.

Violence can leave communities in its wake feeling powerless and confused. We’re hosting an event tomorrow to demonstate how we can use our bodies to do something fun and positive and to show that this neighborhood is strong.

Huge thanks to @glass.knuckles for quick work on another fire flier.

Come out tomorrow, Monday, 11/11 for a fun bicycle and scooter race around the shop. Registration and coffee from 10:30-11am at the start line, 1019 S Jackson St. Fabulous prizes for podium spots.

This will be a four corner race with a checkpoint at each corner. Start at the shop. You can race on a non-motorized bicycle, a scooter or on foot. You can participate on an e-bike but won’t be eligible for prizes. Four laps, stop at each corner to get your race card stamped.

While this race is designed to be more fun, racing is dangerous! Danger can be fun. Especially when you stay inside your comfort zone. Racers participate at their own discretion. Helmets required.

If you don’t want to race, you can volunteer as a checkpoint worker. You can also come out to cheer and support the neighborhood.

We race rain or shine.

After the race, you’ll be in just the right spot to check out the other great businesses and restaurants in the neighborhood, like @phin.seattle, @chuminhtofu, @helloem.coffee, @phobacseattle, @julesasian_ , @itsumonoseattle and so many more.

Free to register. Donations welcome to support artist commissions, like the flyer make by Nick, and coffee costs, but not expected.

Thanks to @cidblockparty for the idea of using physical activity to help bring energy to the block.

I'm pretty bad at budgeting so i'm trying to figure out what a reasonable amount of money to spend on groceries per person per month. How much do yall spend a month on groceries per person? Also do you feel like your diet is bare bones, typical, or pretty decadent? haha

Additionally, where do you shop?

SEATTLE — Grabbing breakfast in the morning includes coffee and sports drinks for many teens.

A new study shows the rate of kids visiting hospital ERs for caffeine overdoses is skyrocketing.

According to Epic Research, numbers more than doubled from 2017 to 2023 for those between 11 and 14 years old. ER visits nearly doubled among older teens.

Please be aware of and do not engage with bad faith MAGA posters who are, despite winning the election, intent on remaining victims. Using Kindergarten levels of sarcasm, these posters are putting up shit like that dumb "stabber was a MAGA!" post and commenting "ironically" in other threads. Oh what fun!

Take the W, boneheads.

oregon ANG announced multiple flyovers over communities in portland, and so did BC with the island cities and the lower mainland. are we having any flyovers tomorrow?

Hi everyone ! Currently in my layover on my way to Seattle ! I am visiting from Virginia and it is my very first time coming to west coast. It is my friends birthday on Tuesday and I want him to have a special dinner at a special place. Looking to spend no more than 100 per person. He has a steak and fries type of food preferences and we both don’t seafood.

Please let me know your recommendations! Thanks !☺️

On a serious note: let me know which window repair shop was quickest and more affordable!

Want to smoke some for turkey day, any idea where I can get some high quality turkey breasts? Prefer east side but can drive over to Seattle too

I was looking at the Chuck Roast and out of nowhere this teenager asks me if I like T Bone Steaks, I said sometimes but I just had one last week. He said if I wanted to look at his. Now I’m on high alert. I check his hands, look at his eyes to see if he’s on something, then he says to me, how about I see yours. I think I glimpse some buddy of his not far, but I am not taking my eyes off him and his hands for possible weapons. I told him that he’s crazy and walk away. Blond, around 16, blue eyes, around 5’5.

I’m 5’8 225 pounds and I am thinking if I had to, he wouldn’t stand a chance. I lost some speed, but if I connected. I let a cashier know and they went looking for him. The problem was that I parked below and I felt he wasn’t alone. Any experience like that in a Supermarket?

The vibe is similar to Ellsworth Kelly's cutouts, and they might be from a similar era. There are a series of these prints on a wall, across from a bathroom... we don't remember which terminal. My husband wrote down his name but then deleted it and we are trying to remember! Bonus if you have pictures of them! Thanks so much.

Hope this isn't too off-topic.

My 70-something in-laws want to relocate to the Puget Sound region from SoCal, where they've lived for the last several decades, to be closer to my wife and me. We're looking for options on where they can find a place to live - in mid-to-south Seattle, West Seattle, or south of Seattle.

They're both in decent health and can live un-assisted / independently, although my FIL recently (3 years ago) lost his sight and is adjusting to a blind lifestyle.

Ideally they want an apartment or condo in a 55+, community-style setting with a swimming pool and an activity center onsite, and with a grocery store and decent restaurants within a short (even walking) distance. Offsite amenities would work as long as they're close. My MIL talks about wanting a gated community but I think that's because that's what they're used to, and that it might just translate to somewhere she can feel safe.

Their current place includes a mix of independent and assisted living options, which would be an awesome feature in a place here, if it's needed in the future, but it's not crucial.

Just curious if anyone's gone through this process - either for themselves or for friends/parents/relatives - and has some recs for (or against) any locations / communities.

Thank you.

Is anyone else surprised we haven’t seen a recent ballot initiative to repeal the exorbitant RTA tax? I know it was voted out a few years ago and overturned in court on a technicality, but why hasn’t this gained more steam, especially since there were 4 other conservative ballot measures this year? The amount of cars I see with expired plates is astronomical. They could make it a more reasonable level, to gain more compliance and ease the burden on law-abiding citizens who do pay it.

Lots of options out there for folks who want to celebrate a Thanksgiving meal. What's your plan?

Hello everyone going to Seattle on the 15thof December (me/dad and daughter) for my daughter’s 15th birthday. Looking to book a birthday dinner on the 15th. She loves seafood boil, souther bbq, Mexican food , sushi. We’re greys anatomy fans , love gloomy and rainy days and have loved the idea of going to Seattle for a minute, since she enjoys the show as much as I do decided to treat her to a surprise brithday trip. She didn’t want a big party so this will be a little treat for her!

Other than it rains a lot, space needle and the farries I know nothing of Seattle so looking for recommendations on places to eat for her birthday dinner ! We arrive early on the 15 and are staying until the 18th 5 pm .

I would love any advice on weather, what to wear (we’re from AZ) so please prepare us lol . What cool places should we look up to go! And if we need to take precautions of certain parts of Seattle ! I know about the forest giants , space needle , pike market the ferries the museum the gum wall etc so just give me your opinions of what’s worth it as she is a teenager and well we know how they are 🙄 we might think wow how cool and for her it’s whatever lol And I want to make the most of our little trip. I did booked a 1 night in forks because as a millennial mom why go to Washington and not to the birthplace of twilight! lol was wanting to go to the ring light house but I’m not sure yet, so if anyone’s gone before let me know you’re experience. We’ve reserved a car so distance is not a problem. Give me all Seattle ness that I can take in 3 days!! It’s our first alone trip with her. We have 4kids in total with her so it’ll be nice for her to have alone attention from us !

Thanks in advance!
