Where is a good spot to donate baby clothes? I have so much and I'd really like to avoid taking it to places like goodwill/value village/ for profit thrift stores, and I'm trying to avoid kids kaboodle/ egg and I resale and places like that.

I know Tacoma pretty dang well, but I'm struggling to think of places my out of town folks can meet my kid (new-ish driver) for dinner.

They had originally though of E9 off 6th Ave, but I've been there at busy times...and sometimes it isn't the easiest if you don't know your surroundings or are aren't skilled at parallel parking.

So, where to eat if you've got the 70-ish folk meeting with a good but new driver?

Must be under 21 ok. North end preferred as the elder set is coming from Kitsap.

Somebody recently broke my hot and cold outdoor faucet (hose bib?) and I called the plumber who first installed it years ago. Today the bid was almost $1K, and they were also going to charge me $50 just to tell me that! Is this normal?

My current PCP who I've been seeing for 2 years is pretty old school and keeps referring to my ADHD as ADD (which is an outdated term for ADHD inattentive type) and keeps leaning on depressive symptoms as the main thing to treat and prescribe meds for despite 2 years of no real effectiveness. I was diagnosed by a psychiatrist 3 years ago and have a therapist I meet with regularly, but am seeking medication to round out my treatment.

Does anyone have good experiences with a PCP who is up on neurodivergence especially with adult women? I'm hoping for recommendatioms around the Tacoma/Lakewood area preferrably, but willing to go up to a 30-40 min drive away. TIA!

It's been awhile since anyone asked this topic...

I have my wedding band I would like to have modified to be more feminine (since I'm trans). It's obviously more involved than a resize or prong adjustment, but I have no idea beyond that what is really involved. It's not an expensive ring... We just got it from Kay's, but it means something. I just have problems wearing it now because it's masculine.

I couldn’t get close. Apartments on Orchard Street.

I already feel silly writing this, but here it is. We lived in the same place for seven years before my husband and I moved to Tacoma with our daughter (technically we’re still in the process of moving but hoping to be there by the end of the month). We loved our house but never made much effort to connect with our neighbors. We both lived in Seattle almost our whole lives and kind of just grew up with lots of friends, acquaintances and family. Now that we’re moving I’m realizing I don’t know anyone and I want to make connections, but I don’t know where to start. I don’t want to knock on anyone’s door with a pie (I think that would be disturbing to most people? Maybe?) but I can’t figure out how to meet people. Part of the struggle is that it’s so fucking cold out now, people are rarely just hanging out outside. If anyone has suggestions of where to start, let me know. Any meetup groups? Indoor spots to bring young kids and meet others?

Lovely day for a walk

Hey guys, so, I live in a cul de sac and there are some trees right behind me that don’t look so great. I think it could be city property. Anyone know exactly who to contact to get them looked at?

This is an absurdly specific question, I know. But if you have any Japanese 100 Yen stamps lying around, let me know if I can buy them and take them off your hands!

Hey y'all- trying to get in some extra practice (preferably on turf) in the evenings this winter, but am having a lot of trouble finding an open field that has lights.

It seems like most Metro Parks (like the brand new Peck facility) are only open if you have a reservation (which feels like they're cheating us out of being able to access a taxpayer paid project...). It's unclear to me if school fields are open to the public or not. I live in North Tacoma, between Old Town and UPS (I love using their turf when it seems open, but am unsure if I'll get yelled at...) but am willing to drive!

Googling hasn't been all that fruitful for me.

When I used to live in Renton I had a membership at the Renton Sailing Center. For $300 per year I could take out their sailboats whenever I wanted. It's an incredible deal. Way back in the day I had a similar membership at Sail Sandpoint in Seattle.

Does any place in Tacoma offer anything similar?

Did anyone feel a shake about five minutes ago in the North Slope neighborhood or is my house about to fall down....?

My mother in law just moved here and is really into pickle Ball. Anyone know a place I could plug her in to? She's in good shape and pretty good I think? around 60 years old. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

So, I inherited a trucking company & Volvo vnl. The issue is, it belonged to an independent owner operator. so, without him, there is no driver. Insurance is requiring I have a driver with a CDL or their going to cancel it, which means fmcsa will revoke our DOT & MC #. So, essentially, I need to hire a driver OR/and get my CDL, and fast. Any chance anyone here would be willing to drive with me? I got my CDL learners permit...just need an experienced driver......

I’m looking to buy 3-5 pint glasses from local breweries / restaurants for my MIL for Christmas. Anyone know where I should start?

I slept with my windows wide open and they are open rn. I have cats so I’m curious as to what would suddenly cause this? Thought it was too cold for large fires 🔥

Cute male Siamese otter shorthair with blue cross eyes and a propensity for drooling. Found 11/23 near the Downtown Oais apartments on S Delin and Holy Rosery on S 30th St. Very friendly and is missing their home! No tags or chip.

Hi All, recently moved to Tacoma and I'm hoping someone can provide me recommendations on any mechanics in the surrounding area that are trustworthy, good at what they do and are reasonably priced (not necessarily looking for cheap, just avoiding expensive if I can). I have a 2017 Hyundai Ioniq Hybrid that needs a routine maintenance check. Thanks!

Hello! I have a friend visiting from the Midwest and she thinks the bikini coffee places are hilarious and wants to get some shirts for gifts to take home. We’ve tried googling with no luck. Is anyone aware of any bikini shops that sell shirts? We are in UP but willing to go anywhere. TIA!

Any cute spots to get Santa Pics besides the mall? We missed the 7 seas Santa this weekend, but would love other ideas!
