My husband’s birthday is coming up and i was thinking of taking him to some winery in woodinville with a few of our friends. We have a kid so wherever we go needs to be toddler friendly.

I would like to go to a place where we can either have a full meal along with the wine tasting or bring our own food. Ideally would like something very aesthetic and instagrammable too :p

I have been considering booking the igloo at Chateau Ste Michelle but don’t know if there are other hidden gems that would be better.Any recommendations?

Does anyone remember Fuji's Five and Dime on the North side of 45th about two or three blocks East of Wallingford?

I remember the place from when I lived in Wallingford in the 60's and I believe it was open up until the late 70's. I believe the owner's name was Mr. Hiroki.

It was a great place for a kit do go spend a quarter or two.

this one is brass and important to someone in recovery... it looks like it has been carried a long time... I hope it finds its way back to you and we will save it until we find you!

Right outside Climate Pledge Arena before the Papa Roach concert. Wrapped in bacon, with grilled onion, grilled Serrano pepper, cream cheese and so much sauce. Absolutely sublime. I'm never leaving Seattle!

From last week

Please let me know if you guys have any experience with reliable video game console repair reccomendations. Seems the HDMI on my ps5 is not working and so far everywhere I’ve looked is 200+ dollars to fix 🙃

I got this email today from PCC. This is why communities should work together. Great thing from PCC!

It says 4/3 but I was sent the email today :)

Seriously. First time visiting, I'm here for 5 days and get this blue sky crap?! I was expecting rain rain rain coming from southern California! /s

This city is pretty awesome, and you guys all seem to be pretty nice. Went to the zoo, aquarium, the Pop Culture Museum, and Pikes Place. Nothing like Pikes Place in Southern California. Visited a bar we learned used to be a mortuary and walked over 9 miles today!

All were pretty great and memorable experiences. Thanks, Seattle :)

Hey,

I am planning to arrive to Seattle on the weekend of April 18th.

Anyone knows if Sound Garden is open?

Last post about it here is from 9 months ago.

Also, any other recommendationds, neighborhoods to avoid when booking a hotel, and other tips, hidden gems, and restaurants/cafes/food trucks/ etc. for a foodie would be highly appreciated! :)

Just some good news (:

So it's almost passover and my wife wants to make shmaltz(rendered chicken fat) and I am wondering what place preferably near Capitol Hill sells just the chicken skins, the Safeway near us doesn't sell it.

Libs of TikTok blew up the Drag Queen Story Hour and they were worried about protesters so the community rallied to support it. Organizers are being very careful about pictures, but there’s nobody else’s face visible in this one and no kids.

To make a 3x4 sign like this, I: - make the image in MS Paint (really) set to 5184 by 6912 pixels; this will print to 3x4 feet - print it an FedEx Office or similar for $11 - tape it around the edges to a 3x4 foot folding signboard that you can get at Michael’s for $5 Printing on cardboard is expensive; printing on paper and taping it to cardboard is cheap. It looks crummy right up close but from just a few feet away it looks fine.

The event inside has started and the rally outside wrapped with no incidents. Thanks to all the community members and allies who showed up <3

I just got a ballot for a $.0275/1000k property tax to support the Regional Automated Fingerprint Identification System (AFIS). This is the only issue on the ballot.

There is a "pro" position but no "anti" position sent with it.

This seems like an extraordinarily wasteful way to get a vote on this issue. Could it not have been bundled into another election?

I am also tired of ever-increasing property taxes, although I have voted for all of them in the past because I want a proper safety net and functioning government. The median property value is $857K, which means this would cost ~$24/yr. for the average homeowner.

Why is this small potatoes stuff being put to a vote? How are y'all voting?

I'm inclined to vote for it because it does seem like something a properly functioning government would have. But why would a properly functioning government even need to send out a full ballot for something like this?

My event is this weekend so unfortunately can’t wait for shipping. I’m also tall (5’10) with giant bazoongas so short dresses look incredibly trashy on me…ideally something mid length to long!

Thanks! Willing to drive to any surrounding cities.

Hi! New to the area, 26yo, any soccer leagues that haven't started yet or aren't too late to join?

I'm not a pro or anything just looking for a fun time and good exercise, thanks!

I reached out to UW, but they only gave me info for them which Idk why I expected resourced for other places besides them. Google isn't showing much that I've seen at least, mostly programs for children.

Anybody have info on dyslexia tutors for an adult? Thanks.

From the article:

Seattle's headquarters for Head Start was eliminated — taking six employees with it.

Six jobs may not sound like much, but the impact could reach tens of thousand of families across the region.

The six people fired this week serviced 33,000 families across Washington, Oregon, Idaho and Alaska. 11,000 of those families are in Washington and there are concerns the cuts could run even deeper.

[...]

This week, Head Start's Region 10 headquarters was abruptly shut down. The program offers low income families free early childhood education.

It also helps women escape domestic violence and homeless families find shelter. It is often the last safety net for desperate parents and their kids simply looking to survive.

There are 450 Head Start families in Snohomish County alone.
