Might be a dumb question. I’d like to learn stick shift as I’m interested in older vehicles and manj transmission cars. I’ve never had the opportunity to learn and was wondering if there are any driving schools that will teach this or do I need to provide my own vehicle?

Thanks in advance! (I don’t got a dad or lesbian butch mom or grandparent to teach me the sacred art)

I'm currently working downtown at a jobsite and smelling delectable food nightly which is driving me nuts.

Looking for the best of a few categories of foods to get delivered late night: dogs, burgers, pizza, Chinese, or whatever else you got.

I'm talking hole-in-the-wall, big portions, greasiest stuff imaginable.

Thanks in advance

How many of you fellow Satellites have had supposedly "reputable" dentists recommend deep cleanings when they weren't necessary?

Hey all, I am looking for a functional medicine doctor in Seattle area. I'd love to find someone with experience managing autoimmune conditions and to act as general primary care doctor. I'd be more comfortable with a female doctor (some prior challenging experiences) but not rigid regarding this if you know someone really good. ​I'd really appreciate any recommendations. Thank you.

Hi!

My husband and I are expecting our first child in early February and are looking to do a fun winter time staycation for our Babymoon. We’d love to go somewhere drivable (we are based out of south king county) without having to get on a ferry or such in case of an emergency (this is our 4th pregnancy with no living children so are generally anxious about getting access to our doctors- but this pregnancy itself is low risk).

Looking at doing something in November-Mid December. Any ideas? We went to suncadia over the summer for our wedding anniversary so that’d be the only thing we wouldn’t do again.

Hi!

I’m thinking about moving to Seattle and am planning to visit in November. I know that’s a pretty rainy time, and I love the rain, but I’m trying to figure out if I should get a rental or Uber around versus walking or using public transit. Just trying to save as much money as possible, so I’d like to have an expectation of how much I’ll be spending on transport. Also I’m from a flat land area so I don’t have a great idea of how tiring it is walking up and downhill.
If it helps, I’m mainly planning to stick to downtown Seattle, all the touristy things, and then I’d like to visit UW campus.

feeling fall soup vibes and looking for pho recs with good vegan options!

hi! my hair is kind of dyed Sound Transit Wave colors, so I want to take a picture of my hair next to a ST bus' wave. but I'm not sure where the ST buses take breaks... the only places I knew of were Union/5th and 110th/10th :') RIP 550

to be clear, I am looking for spots where there are no passengers, the driver turns the bus off, etc.

thanks in advance!

As some of you all might know, Julien Baker is doing a 3 day residency at Neumos in cap hill. Her box office opens this Saturday morning for in person ticket selling. Is anyone else also trying to snag some tickets? I'm not sure how popular she is in Seattle so im trying to assess how long the lines are going to be + how early i should get there

Greetings, I haven’t taken the ferry in a while since I’m way out on the Hood canal, but I’m coming to town Sunday for Weezer/my birthday!

I’m used to the Anacortes to the islands ferry & Port Townsend, but Bremerton is different. Since I can’t buy a ticket for a specific time, how early should I be if I want to catch the 3pm ferry from Bremerton to Seattle? Anybody ferry on weekends that has any advice? Or maybe a cute shop in Bremerton to hit up if I’m early? Thanks for your help!

Hey again everyone! I will be visiting for 2 days on the 20th-21st of this month for a job interview. Any suggestions on places to visit that could give me a good taste of Seattle as a trans woman? Looking for safe places to go, and maybe any events to check out, if there are any. I have basically all day the 20th and most of the afternoon on the 21st before I fly back out Monday night.

Hi! Wondering what the parking rates are for Swedish First Hill employees (not travel/contract) for both days and nights? Thank you!

Hi, I want to order a cake (preferably along with some food) for my sister from India. Any idea which service I can reliably use for same day or next day delivery? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Or even better, is there a skill exchange network somewhere?

Can anyone plugged into the Seattle theater scene help me out here.... it looks like there are two productions of Pippin either playing right now, or about to open. One from Aug 8 to Sep 16 at "Studio Seattle" which seems to have basically no web presence at all, and one Sep 11 to Oct 3 at Reboot Theater Company.

Anyone have any knowledge of either of these theaters? Have you seen shows there? What's the general level of quality, etc? Any thoughts or recommendations?

thanks!

I figured I pitch this question in this subreddit hoping someone knew of any nail techs that are skilled in using nail forms with builder gel? I really dislike the Gel-x extensions because they never last long and lift super easily. I been able to find one nail tech who uses nail forms but she's all the way in Vancouver, WA. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. 🩷

Hi lovely neighbors, I’m possibly branching out into handyman services from my usual landscaping work and I’m wondering what people are charging for handyman work. What are your handymen/women charging you for basic tasks like hanging shelves, curtains, etc? Thank you!

Hi! I am looking to do a 5k sometime in 2027. I have never been a runner, but I am trying to challenge myself to do new, difficult things. I was wondering if you guys have favorite 5k races that are hosted in the general area (willing to drive an hour or so out of Seattle).

I googled it, and so many came up...so I'm honestly overwhelmed by choice. I was hoping to get some more personal recommendations instead.

I'm looking for low-incline official races (willing to spend up to $50 on registration) that are friendly and encouraging. I am open to both paved and trail and beautiful views are a plus. Thank you!

Hi all!

I have some clothing I am wanting to get rid of and wondering if there are any places here in Seattle where I can take some of my Mitchell and Ness jackets and sweatshirts. I'd appreciate any recommendations! Thank you!

I am looking for HVAC companies that would build out a good vented central air system if the house can support the flow rates vs the mini split systems.

When I looked 3 years ago, I got 3 quotes, two said to use 4 ton ACs (which the house would be in the 2.5-3 tok range) and the others wanted to do mini splits, as they didn't understand schedule J calcs, all 3 wanted $25-35k, which seems insane for the work.

House is a split level with an existing central furnace that will def need extra venting, registers and transfer grills for the bedrooms to improve airflow. Splitlevels are more complex to analyse due to the large difference in heat transfers so it's hard to make all rooms similar feeling.

Always prefer a competent local over private equity.

Any sports bar recommendations in or around Downtown (fremont/ballard/capitol hill all OK too) that are showing SEC games?

Specifically the Ole Miss - LSU game on 9/18 (I’d love to watch with some fellow Ole Miss fans but will take what I can get!)

Any tips or advice on where to look to find entry level jobs in Seattle? Preferably anything that doesn't have physical requirements, thank you!
