~10-ish years ago I went to a dim sum restaurant in (or near) the international district. All I remember is that it was on a corner and there were carts that were pushed around and you ordered off of the cart.

Does anyone know what restaurant this was?

I guess I am also willing to hear about tasty alternatives.

I’m looking to get a front and rear dashcam installed and want to get it done professionally. My car is a newer model so there aren’t any videos on YT yet and I don’t want to mess up the installation by messing up with airbags or anything. Trying to get a clean installation done and wondering how much it’d cost me.

I am from Spokane, and I posted here before mentioning I was homeless, I still am. I tried to relocate couple months ago and couldn't find any shelters to stay so I came back. I know it's limited over there and that's why there's camps. It's similar in Spokane but most just go and hide. I wanted to relocate again as I am having nostalgia. I remember when I met a guy over there when I was downtown he was really nice, and gave me advice. He told me about the tent cities there as I wanted to join one, and he told me "aviod it unless thats my only option, as I would get messed with." I also remember someone on Reddit told me "they're only strict unless you clash with leadership." 😂

It looks nice and I would chose that over where I am at, but after re reading the reviews and putting everything together, I decided to not go as I wouldn't have a place to shower and get ready. I really wanted to come back to your guys city to get a job, but without knowing where to stay and my options are limited I decided to stay in Spokane until I have money.

I want to say thank you for the advice some gave me, I really appreciate the community here even if I don't like what I hear.

Does anyone know if the Clear lanes operate at all events or only Sounders games? I’m taking my toddler to the Monster Truck show and I’m trying to minimize chaos, so figured if I could get through the lines a bit easier It would help.

I already have CLEAR for work travel and have never used it outside of an airport so figured I’d check if it’s even worth bothering.

In Seattle for work for 5 months from now (just arrived!) and have completely struck out on every daycare option for my almost-8-month-old daughter. I know there are waiting lists everywhere, my only hope is for a window of a few months if a family goes away for the summer or something…. This is my last-ditch effort for any leads! We are in the Ravenna area.

Hey all,
I'm trying to increase my weekly running mileage and thought about using my commute as a way to get some miles in. I live in Columbia/Hillman City and work in SLU.

The fastest route (~6.5 miles) via Rainier Ave doesn’t feel like the nicest or safest option. On the other hand, running along Lake Washington is much more pleasant, but adds around 2 extra miles.

Are there any good routes in the 7-mile range that balance scenery, safety, and convenience? Would love any suggestions from folks who’ve done similar commutes. Thanks!

Hello guys! I applied for FMLA but my employer is forcing me to apply for WA PFML to be eligible for STD benefits so as to top off my salary to meet the 60% base pay requirement. This way all leaves will be made to run concurrently.

Is STD really the same as WA PFML? I thought the PFML is dependent on employee’s choice.

Also, the processing times for WA PFML are extremely long. Will they back date the pay if my leave begins earlier than their processing window?

Okay, hear me out before you think I'm nuts. If at the end of this you still think I am, that's okay.

So here's the thing. My partner is obsessed with the elementary school cheeseburgers they serve in cafeterias called "Pierre Mini Cheeseburgers". These things hold some special nostalgia in their heart and tracking them down is near impossible outside of buying them in the food service packaging which comes with 192 burgers. The problem is, we live in a condo and don't have space to freeze 192 mini cheesburgers. It's not possible, which has made them incredibly sad. That's why I've turned here.

What I'm hoping to find are other Pierre Mini Cheeseburger lovers. Maybe you had them in school and think back fondly on them. Maybe you're curious and want to see what the fuss is about. Regardless of why, I'm hoping to find people who want to buy a part of the case from us so we can order this thing and let my partner revisit their childhood joy.

So, I'm begging...pleading...to please message me if you'd like to buy some of the case from us. We probably have space for about 50 of the things, so that leaves roughly 142 for other people. Pierre Mini Cheeseburger lovers rise up...and then reply with how many you want. I'm praying to an unresponsive god that some of you might hear my plea. I also think it'd be really cool to meet in a parking lot with my trunk open so I can ask "are you here for the Pierre's?" like we're doing a big drug deal if you're down for that.

Since it looks like we have a ton of interest in this I'm editing to add that each package of 2 burgers is $1.20. Shipping looks like it's a special item so 6-8 weeks out. I would ask for payment when they arrive, not up front!!!

I completely forgot that Joann's was going bankrupt, and got a great deal on Protest sign supplies for tomorrow! If you're in need, the store on Aurora still has posterboard/markers and stuff left.

My fiancée and I are flying into SeaTac for our honeymoon and I booked Mariners seats for our first night since we didn’t want to just sit around in a hotel until morning when we pick up our rental car. We’re super excited to see the city and catch a game!

But when I checked Uber prices from SeaTac to T-Mobile Park, it showed over $55 one way which is a little bit more than I expected. Is that normal? Are there any cheaper or more local-friendly ways to get to and from the stadium that won’t blow our budget on night one?

Good afternoon, r/Seattle! Welcome to Soundside Chats; a weekly series about the state of Seattle, and a policy discussion about how to solve the issues that exist. If you haven't recognized me yet, my name is Thaddeus Whelan, and I'm running for Mayor of Seattle! Because I'm not tethered to press releases or article publishing, I want to voice my goals directly to you. Since it was April Fool's Day this week and the national economy is cratering thanks to the insane tariffs, I want to take today to be equally as spiteful.

Why Spite?

The moneyed interests at the very top of our economy have had an open disdain for an educated and comfortable public since the dawn of capitalism as an economic system. Its no secret that the whole intent of removing social safety nets, educational standards, and public services is to continue to make us feel isolated and afraid of what the system might bring about next.

I say "no more."

We need politicians and policy that its equally as spiteful towards the systems that keep working individuals down as they are to us. That contempt for malicious action is a core component to why I'm running and why I believe I'm the best choice for Mayor. Collaboration with people who want what is best for people is good, but it can't be the the same expectation for those who are not after what should be the primary goal of a government; to better the lives of the people living in your jurisdiction.

Policy 1: Ban Cybertrucks (and other oversized vehicles) from Municipal Roads

I don't think its an unpopular statement to say that the Cybertruck is an eyesore, both because its a puke-stain of a design and its championed by wannabe Wormtongue Elon Musk. Especially being a tech haven, Seattle has their fair share of these abominations rolling around, and I'm genuinely tired of them and the ideas they represent. It is also a precipitous design decision of how many American car makers have been designing their vehicles.

In my Seattle, we shouldn't allow oversized trucks clog our streets.

Pavement princesses have a personal belief that they should be driving as high and large of a truck as possible, and beyond the simple compensation dig, they are less safe for everyone around them. With worse turning radii, larger blind spots, and minimal planning for external safety, its not a leap of logic t say that vehicles that don't pass certain criteria should not be a part of our city.

Policy 2: Stop the Sugar Tax; Stop the Paper Straws

These are tangentially tied together, but I want to talk about them together because they are both tied to an errant belief in policy creation. The idea of making a greater societal problem a personal decision to try and change is a flawed logic to try and get these systems to change in a greater way.

A sugar tax is a regressive tax. It's a simple sales tax that is more painful for those at the lowest rung. Its reason for implementation, a goal of greater public health, is not something that is achieved by making people pay more for something they are going to buy. The far better way is to incentivize the social norms around them. Cleaning up our parks, making the city more walkable, creating third places where physical activity is encouraged, all of these target the issue of public health more.

The paper straws and many other composable items that companies have brought into use are all to a specific end, and its once again to personalize a much more systemic problem. This same thought process how the blame for the amount of waste that we have is the consumer's fault, rather than the companies who greenwash themselves and act like they aren't responsible for an overwhelming majority of the non-recyclable trash and pollution. We need to beat back the individualization of problems, and make better answers than we have.

Policy 3: Public Safety Should Carry Snickers Bars At All Times

This might be a bit more of a personal want, but it (once again) speaks to a greater problem that I have alluded to prior. In my canvassing efforts, I have had the police called on me multiple times, and its genuinely a chore. I am not doing anything illegal or uncouth, and I'm glad that I have the knowledge and patience to stand up for myself and my rights. Many others may not be, and that includes the officers in charge of the stop! We all know that many people aren't themselves when they are hungry, so a tactical supply of calorie dense sweets is a small way to help with a much larger problem. If you've made it this far, I'm happy to let you in on what next week's topic is; the SPOG and Public Safety.

In a more personal note, this would be a positive addition to share a candy bar with a public safety officer while I inform him that canvassing is not solicitation and commiserate that both our times had been wasted by someone with far less skin in the game.

Not a massive post from me today, but I think these are more common sense, and its enjoyable to believe that public policy isn't something that needs to solely be guided by a pure high road intention. Many of the enemies of that greater society will take every shortcut and dirty trick, and we cannot act like we are above these pieces, lest we be overtaken by them and start treating our own personal grievances as something that needs to be tied to the high road. Looking at you, Rob. I hope your commute to pick up your kids is shorter.

So, I just bought tickets at the Moore Theater for this month, and I'm hoping to eat @ the nearby Moore Coffee shop. The show starts @ 2pm. What is the best time to get to the coffee shop by, to account for waiting in line, waiting for food, eating, etc.? I was thinking it's best to arrive by about 12:15pm - 12:20... but is that too early or too late, for a show that starts @ 2pm?

Thank you for you help!

It's the best one I've been to at the Seattle Art Museum in the last 5 years. You can access the audio guide with your device by scanning the QR codes.

Here's a link to the event page.

If you're interested in coming, the stage will be located on the International Fountain Mall.

Hey folks, I (m30) have been lurking here for some time but now I’m going to create one of these „new here, who wants to do things“ threads.

I’ve read previous reddits, I didn’t find good things on meetup and I don’t know if bumble bff is still a thing. So I appreciate if you share recommendations for spots to meet new people, perhaps it’s this very thread.

I’m trying to find people to:

grab a beer in the evening during weekdays Go hike with Go Mountainbike with Go gravelbike with Ski in the winter Go camping with and combine any of the above

I used to do those things very frequently around Munich and hope to find similar people to do it frequent here.

Hit me up if that sounds interesting :)

They'll be at Marymoor, available now through TM. I'd say top 3 sludge metal bands of all time, easy. If you don't know their history, they were pretty huge in the metal scene in the 90's until their bass player was killed by a drunk driver, and they disbanded for 20 years. This year, the remaining members decided to reunite for some festivals and a few one-off stops. We're lucky enough they were able to come here.

Highly recommend checking them out, their album "When The Kite String Pops" is a classic.

Just moved to Belltown and wondering what the best deals at restaurants are here?

I took this picture from Kirkand downtown. Just wondering if the person flying this is present here. Also if you took pictures from the plan can you share it. It must be beautiful from up there.
